Haha! My first thought was that you typed that in the sleeper in the dark.

Good point. While you are out shaking hands and kissing babies on here, you might check into addressing your brokerage's practices of taking care of your vendors (Alliance carrier partners)in a timely manner. 120 days to pay is completely unacceptable. The lack of returned email and phone...

Apopka, FL Haymarket, VA Doraville, GA Greensboro, NC Greer, SC Orlando, FL Picks and drops since 4/1.

Here is another option all of us might want to think about. I am certain that EVERYONE is concerned about the rising cost of fuel once again. Sometimes I am in need of fuel, even when I don't need another shower. I am finding larger chasms between the major name truck stops and "mom & pops"...

Yeah, I've seen quite a few at grocery stores. The only drawback with those is they are NOT open 24/7, making it difficult to return at certain locations and times.

Yes. And know we know the rest of the story.

Bemidji, MN. Yeah, I won't stick around there. Move down to the Twins. Tampa or Miami, I won't really wait long. Oh wait, maybe that's cuz I live in Orlando.

Aw, c'mon, Turtle. You must know that sarcasm requires a special font. :p It's the "sarcasm font." 12pt.

Either they were all sitting at home, or everyone is afraid to take a load outside of "expediter land."

Yep. Just because it's slow with one name on the truck doesn't mean the whole business tanks in January. Glad you are now able to find out how the "other half" lives. :D

Welcome to EO!!

Well, let's see: Orlando, FL Haymarket, VA Weaverville, NC Louisville, KY Dulles, VA Richmond, VA Goose Creek, SC Jacksonville, FL Apopka, FL Albany, GA Port Charlotte, FL Sanford, FL And a few of these have been visited more than once for pick or drop. But tonight I'm home.

One quick nondescript method is to Google "trailer repair" in your closest town. They should sell it. They may even install it for you. You CAN get it at Northern Tool and Harbor Freight, but it's much more expensive and only in like 4-5 foot pieces. By the way, I've had a great experience...

It would be worse than IFTA. People who can't manage their own money always want someone else to pay their way.

The best company? The one you haven't driven for yet.... Seriously though, there are options for you. What has been said about being at the end of the line IS true, but there are possibilities. I like what T-Hawk suggested. Whether just an in-state carrier, or an interstate one, finding one...

The fact that the Load 1's CEO likes to interact on this site with owner operators speaks volumes.

Not busy in the Midwest? Hmmm. Remember all of those GM plants that closed last year? Remember those other plants that closed? Maybe the info regarding the Midwest being "expediter central" is now obsolete. Might be playing by different rules now.....

Hey Rockytop, If you don't mind me asking, "How late were they in paying you?" We never found out if they were just longer in paying, but had paid you nonetheless, or were they stiffing you. You may not get far legally if the only issue is as you said they were "stretching out" their pay...

Me too. Haven't found one yet that wasn't a dirty hole. Oh wait! Kenly, NC. But they customized that bad boy until it's more of a flea market than truckstop. That store is ALWAYS empty.

If that office did close, it wouldn't necessarily mean the loss of Amazon. They would just hire a cartage agent to handle the p & d for them.
