Yes, it is the journey not the destination. As you progress the prioritys may be the same just, not in that particular order. Funny what is rewarding as the road gets seemingly more endless and you find new challenges such as a new truck to pay for or maintain.

To all the na-sayers and yea sayers on this thread i'd like to suggest that success in this business is the journey not the destination. Success is a moving target. For the most part the most difficult part of climbing the ladder of success is getting past the fools standing around the bottom...

What will your route be?? Might be able to help.

Actually, it is not if the company understands your need for personal time, or, if your desire for personal time is there. It is in fact, that the freight that needs to move, when it needs to move does not understand (or care) about your need for personal time. That is why we are called expediters.

Don't waste your time typing here. Get to studying.

It is amazing how a seemingly innocent sidetrip from the required beaten path can end up in disaster. I encourage my folks to get to the delivery and then rest, or, whatever. In your case being at the delivery wouldn't have lessened your affliction, but, at least you wouldn't have had to...

Actually, It is an excellent concept. You cannot believe the "things" you can get in a 30 foot van at 103" high. With a 25' wheelbase and tripple air ride it rides like a dream. The storage is secure and when you tip the cab for service, all remains the same. (unless you're trashy) 10-13 MPG...

Oh yes, it's a mess out there. Cant believe the big trucks that could get 6-7 MPG but, I bet they achieve little more than 4-5. Foolish. A person can hardly stay outa their way. I Travel I-75 at 65 and when I get in the hammer lane to pass, before I can get back in the right lane they've...

NO! I'm a Carrier

SARKUS: Looks to me the big part of the problem is "130 to get home" ever consider staying out???

C'mon Rich. There are loads that transfer without the access of dock facilitys. Do you want to be a player or not? Broom must want to be a player, or, he would not be interested in HOW. It is all about the rate for some. Others want to know CAN I GET IT DONE. And that is very good. Believe...

Broom: This is an imperfect world we live in. Maybe you should move one truck to higher ground and the other to lower ground so they might meet up + - . If they still don't meet up then move again. Not exactly rocket science but it works. As far as a dock plate all you need is something you...

NO, it is Greensburg, Indiana. Between Cincinatti and Indianapolis. And yes, we are a mom and pop organization Glen.

No, no Glen not trying to make ends meet. They meet just fine. Won't even consider a lease purchase. I am a Carrier whom wants to retire and allow someone to purchase a small Expedited Carrier. I had anticipated someone would be interested in a business but I guess I was wrong and figgured...

I like Tom Robertson am wondering what people want... I have placed an ad on the Business Opportunities portion of this site to sell equipment, business for the price of a mediocre "new" expedite truck. Records indicate that on a "gross sales" basis, that return is four months. There have been...

RE: pardon me Wait A Minute --- You don't work for them ???? yet, "you didn't get paid for the load you did run"???? I guess i'm not sure what I have read here. When typing on a forum such as this oppinions really do not even closely subsitute for an experience. Could you splain yourself????

Please share your ideas of what constitutes a veteran driver.

RE: All Types personal experience JIZFACE: Firs of all i gotta say-atta boy Tony. JIZFACE maybe you should come and visit my REPUTABLE business based out of my REPUTABLE home. Shucks you might like it. I cannot imagine you thinking you should be trucking without insurance coverage. Or...

Yep, looks like about what happens when you hit a camel in the desert you knock it's legs from under it and it comes in the windshield at you. Best to view your real estate in the daytime in those places if at all possible.

Dreamer: Yes one'a these days i'll update the web site and place a pic on here if it don't violate any non advertising rules.
