It was a good while it lasted, but like with most all good things it was time to move on. My wife and I took our truck and trailer are now with Landstar Ranger. We have been up and running for about 6 weeks . That had been long enough to take some time and reflex and compare the 2 companies. I...

Rates continue big upswing in May as reefer, flatbed set records | Commercial Carrier Journal A good friend and mentor sent me this today. Any comments from the EO community?

For everybody FYI. I just found out today, the inspection does not have to be on a Fed Ex CC form. After having an inspection done at a Speedco on Saturday and they would not fill out the FECC form. (long story there). Safety took Speedco's form. And ALL this time I thought we had to have...

Fed Ex O-O T-Val trailer. Saw this today where we loaded. Can't believe the customer loaded this trailer.

We loaded in Oregon late last week and was red lighted (prepass)to pull into the first California scale. Once on the scale I was told to pull into an inspection bay. The inspector told me not to set the brakes, he chocked the wheels and came up to the drivers window and asked me if I could turn...

For those people that don't check the for sale section, I just want to let everybody know that I'm selling our trailer. 2003 Great Dane Classic Refer,

I just can't believe that we were 'charged' with a late delivery on a little short run we did on a Friday of this month. The run picked up in Philadelphia (area), PA going to York, PA, 81 miles of 2 lane backroads, bumper to bumper Friday traffic. There was no way we were going to make the...

We just got a letter from Carl Kiser telling us that Refer D-time will be reduced on both T-Val loads that use to pay around the clock and regular temp loads that use to pay 16 hours. They will both only pay 10 hours from 8:00 to 23:59. The reason, simply put, is to put us the same as other...

I just did a Vehicle Activity since the beginning of the year. What I found out was not surprising but confirms what I thought. (Gee the wonders of these computer things) We have done 15 runs so far this year. Only 4 have been over 500 miles. 1,226, 790, 902, 688. The rest are in the 200-400...

I just did a stats check for last year, and this year and they have all our runs listed as Surface Expedite and none under White Glove. Anybody know the reason? WE are a White Glove truck and do mostly W/G Loads.

With our temperature control trailer nearing the 10 year old limit we are thinking about not replacing it, but going into 'semi' retirement and converting our tractor into a CR unit. Can anybody give us some advice on who we talk to about how to go about it? Right now we have a 132" ARI...

I have been using Speedco for many years and use them for almost all my oil changes. About the only time I don't use them is when I need an oil change and there is not a location near where I'm at. I know that they might charge a little more (to tell the truth I've never really check cost...

I've read nearly all the current threads in here and had to chuckle to myself when I read about one drivers complaint about the minutes that he was on hold wait to talk to a dispatcher. It is not my intention to flame that driver for the comment because he makes some good points in today's...
