Ragman, When I ran expedited freight out of Atlanta, back in the 90's, I came across a company SOS (Special Order Service) out of north Georgia. I think they were based out of either Dalton, GA., or Chattanooga, TN. That maybe the company trucks you've seen. When I get a chance I've got a...

Chef, That meatloaf you talked about recently sounds good at the BBQ!

Hello, My name is Tom, aka Redbird. I live in the western suburbs of Chicago. Been in expediting since 1986 on a part-time basis. Began with a 1980 Dodge Cargo Van in Chicago area. In 1989 graduated from college and relocated my business to the Atlanta area with a 1989 Ford Cargo Van and...

Yeah but just a few....lol The last of a dying "MOPAR" breed. Taken over by something called a Sprinter!

As the Expedite Expo fast approaches, I have to reflect back to my very first expo, I went to in Wilmington back in 2006. It coincides with two posts back in April "Heartbroken" (by Wolfman) and "RIP Little Buddy" (by Cheri). *You will never forget them and the healing takes a long time! My...

Jefferson's idea of creating some business cards is a good idea, It's exactly how I got my start in the expedite business back in Atlanta in the late '80's early '90's. When I wasn't driving, I put on a dress shirt and tie, go knock on doors of the freight forwarders at Atlanta Harstfield Int'l...

The best think for you Jack is to rest and keep the weight off the foot. God Bless Gracie for helping out like she has. Hopefully when things do pick up you'll be 100% ready to hit the road.

Good Job Skyraider, I knew that old Mopar would come through for ya! lol! Mine is back up and running and ready for some freight out of the Windy City!

I've dealt with Peter in the past on a trip, real good guy and paid me on time. Moved his offices from Bensenville area closer to his home area of St. Charles.

Zoli, and Shmekro I sent you both a seperate PM.

Had a pick up in Aurora, IL going to Waterloo, IA and after I dropped, DH to Galena, IL for a pickup back to Aurora, IL......as TJP says..."Dollas"! :)

Can't speak for use with straight trucks but I have AAA and have used it many times for towing and for road service. Couple of years ago while delivering freight to a town below Davenport, IA had a blowout on Hwy. 61. and used AAA had fantastic service. They offer two types of plans go with the...

That had to be a Mack Truck run!

I've got a '98 Ford CV and the side doors are rusting out. *(They're not original doors) Has anybody ever attempted to replace van doors and if so how big of a project am I looking at, or would it be smart to find the doors in a junk yard and have a friend who does body work do it for me. The...

Dennis, in keeping with the type of sleeping arrangement from the old van but not permanently mounted. Build a platform similar to what you had but when you need the extra space for that fourth pallet, etc, be able to fold the platform forward so the base is facing the rear of the drivers seat...

I reside in the town just west of them in Joliet, IL. I know the owner and drove one of their company vans, several years ago between 06-07 time frame. If you would like to know more about them PM me and I'll share the positives and negatives for the short time I drove for him.

Since the Pilot has bought up some Petro's and Flying J's and removed their restaurants. Some Denny's and IHOPs have been installed, but I realized, why not contact Waffle House restaurants and see if they wouldn't be interested in coming aboard too and installing some of their restaurants in...

So Jack are you saying, You and Gracie, are not getting the sprinter type freight to fit in your HCV? Or is your carrier not keeping you busy enough? Sounds like from reading the different posts in the different sections here on EO some carriers have corporate accounts that specifically...
