Sounds good to me,maybe they have a Mobile setup that they can cook the ribs etc right on the premises. Terry won't mind a $500 lunch bill.

If possible go to the Expo. Lots of fun and you can put faces to names. I have to commend Lawrence for his dedication that he and his wife and staff have put forward over the years to make EO the great site that it is. Lawrence started this site and invested on his own (with 2 small children)...

I disagree with my friend DaveKC. It is my opinion that a DOT Officer needs PROBABLE cause before they can search your truck. They can look at your cargo to make sure it is loaded and secured properly but to go into the cab and sleeper they need a bonafide reason. To make your partner leave the...

Yeah,nothing like it when you walk into that motel office and that wonderful smell of Curry overwelms you.

Far be it from me to contadict Greg and others but today I killed some time at a local libary waiting on a truck A/C repair. I read through the business section of USA Today and the Wall St Journal and not one word was printed about Ford moving all those jobs to Mexico. The only Ford item was...

I am not a west coaster but if you are willing to drive south on I5 to exit 51,which is the town of Oceanside. There is a state park on the beach there. However 10 more miles down I 5 to exit 41 will take to to the town of Encintas. Get off the Interstate,head west,cross over Hwy1 and there...

There are Trees and there are Trees. Be careful as to which one you park under. Some trees such as Oaks have been known to topple over for no reason. So if like the Old Prof you are having some bad luck be carefull out there. Does Michigan have any healthy trees below Traves City??

Both Tri State and Bolt are well established companies and should keep you running with decent revenue.

I heard him describing the Book on the Neal Boortz radio show about 10 days ago. It was a good interview and it was nice to hear a major TV celeberity telling the truth.

RE: Looking for companies that don't require a Haz A Haz/mat endorsement on your CDL is not that difficult to obtain.You do need to study the manual and know the answers on your test. It is a selling point to an owner that you may want to drive for. Running a van the only Haz/mat loads you...

I would say the Expediting industry has grown faster then the overall economy. These days with high FSC's ,traffic managers are probably looking at consolidating shipments that may have shipped as a single expedite shipment. I would keep your costs as low as possible,don't rush out to buy that...

Parking under a tree could block your Q/comm signal so you might be under that tree for months.:+ :+

But if a DOT guy wanted to check your recap you and him would have to to the mens room and he would stand behind you to look into the mirror.

It's a good idea to invest about $200 for a 1 million dollar blanket insurance policy. Especially in expediting where we are usually under the gun to be somewhere at a set time and you are trying to find an address in the rain at 0500.

The D Brothers said it right, that is an excellent post. There is a EO member who always brings up the paid tourist scenario. Well when you are playing tourist you are earning nothing,and spending last weeks revenue. The decision is yours,generate revenue for yourself or spend revenue on...

Roll up,all you need to do with the rollers is to clean the tracks every so often and hit the rollers with some WD 40. Big plus as others have ponted out is to keep the F/Lift driver out of the box until you are on the dock. Also should the F Lift driver be drunk as what happened to me once...

Dave the A/C in my FL 70 just quit,but after 900,000 miles and lots of use I have no complaints. I agree with you,the FL 70/80 was maligned by some but gave good reliable service to many.

Another advantage of a S Corp is that you can reduce your FICA (SS) contributions. Based on your age and previous earnings this may not be a good thing. In our S Corp my wife and I are the Shareholders,Board of Directors,the Officers of the corp and finally the employees of the Corp. We pay...

John I think so but he would have to operate through your Corp as a independent contractor with some type of contractual agreement.

I have operated as an S Corp for the last 15 years. Lots of tax advantages,one is that you can have your Corp pay and deduct 100% of your medical expenses.Only negative is that if you hire employees you must make that benefit availble to them. There are many other benefits,best to talk to a good...
