    Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower pric

    RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower Kinda reminds me of the old Roberts days. Steve knows about this. You received 62% of the revenue if the delivery was taking you further from home. You received 46% if the delivery took you closer to home. Well it was a constant ongoing...

    Is it realistic to ...

    When I operated as a solo FedexCC driver I found the NorthEast and New England to be the most profitable areas. I would have a trip virtually every day, some relatively short in miles but decent revenue. The teams usually refuse the shortr trips as they want to head back to the midwest or south.

    WHY DO EXPEDITORS LIE !!!!!!!!!!

    What happens is that they need a solid viewpoint to have in their mirrors when they back in. Empty spaces are like the dessert,nothing to guide on.

    A, B unit is a cargo van such as a Sprinter or Ford etc. Most of the expediting companys want a B unit to be able to carry 2,500 pounds. A C unit is a straight truck with a minimum of a 12 foot cargo box and must be able to carry 5,000 pounds. A D unit is a straight truck with a 20-24 foot box...

    First Time for Everything

    How about a little raffle. If you donate blood you get a ticket and then it goes into the barrel and the first 3 winners get a fuel card or something similar. This would be great PR for the Expo.

    First Time for Everything

    I have O Negative and have made many donations over the years when a child is born and needs that immeadiate transfusion due to RX something or other. It's a very strong positive emotion knowing that you contributed to a new life that just may discover a cure for something or other.

    buyer beware!

    I have read all through this thread and also on the other site by the seller. Looks to me like people are taking sides in this dispute. One corner has EO members the other corner has XX members. This dispute should probably be resolved privately as suggesting this or that or denying this or...

    How do I find out?????

    Also whats legal in one state may not be legal in other states. I don't want to discourage you but you have a tough road ahead. You said you were going to get your own authority. Does that mean you are going to attempt to book your own loads as most brokers handle straight truck and up loads...

    Newbie looking to be a fleight owner

    Your main problem will be finding and keeping drivers. Many drivers are spolied and want trucks with all the amentities that can be bought. Your $16-23,000 used truck will more then likely not be equipped to the spoiled drivers standards. An older truck will incur more maintenance resulting in...
