    GIVE ME AN O H I O! GO BUCKS

    I would say at least 3 teams in the SEC, LSU, Florida and Auburn and possibly Tennesee and Alabama could handle Ohio State with ease. When the Buckeyes leave the big two conference and start beating real teams instead of cup cakes then you can brag. What was that score again last January in...

    If it's a typical D unit I would think they would have known they had 22,000 pounds as soon as they left the dock.

    When should the parents take responsibility

    How old was the boy who shot the 21 year old? I believe the upbringing a child gets in his early years and especially in his early teens goes a long way torward making a productive young person or a potential criminal. Parents that do not pay attention to what their off spring are doing or who...

    But when do you have total control if you are leased to a company. You can be deadheading some where and a shipper books a load in your area. You don't know it but your company does. Now the dispatcher may look at it and say this can wait 4 hours before I offer it out and you merrily deadhead...

    Steve, what made a D unit attempt to load 22,000. Those folks must have been desperate for a run. If you are in the hit or miss expediting industry luck along with experience and proper planning all come into play. Luck can be a major factor in your bottom line. To say that it doesn't is...

    just need a little help- new team

    There aren't very many loads that get dispatched for a Saturday or Sunday pick up. Usually Saturday loads are covered late on Fridays unless a customer calls in on a Saturday or Sunday. So based on what you said about having to go back on Friday to sign more ppwk you really probably have 1/2...

    Nitrogen survey

    OK I will play Devils Advocate here. How do you know you are getting 100% nitrogen out of the so called nitrogen pump. Just because a pump says nitrogen means nothing. Is there a gas analysis meter that you can use or do you believe what the shop says. Oil changes are the same way. Inside a...

    Want a new straight truck

    It sounds to me that you and your wife would be better off driving for a fleet owner for about a year to get your feet wet and then decide what you want and can afford. Some fleet owners have class 8 tractors that have been converted to straight trucks,others have class 7 straight trucks with...

    Bolt Express

    I have not worked for them but I have been at their Toledo location for a EO project and I was impressed. They have a good growth and retention record. They are large enough to keep you busy but small enough to know your name. Give Mark or Anne in recruiting a call at 1-866-873-2658,they are...
