Earlier this week I dredged up an older thread about escrow and it has taken off. There are many of us on EO that have taken the time to read the "fine" print of our leases and leads me to ask a couple of questions. As a contractor, do you understand the Federal regulations regarding the...

The original thread was about older trucks. I, for one, like older trucks. It is less expensive to get into expediting, has been less expensive to repair my older DD Series 60 than most, I've stayed away from the latest and greatest to have a great running, long lasting class 8 expediter...

It's been a while. As I recall, when I signed on years ago, i signed a waiver that stated simply that after I delivered my load and was not under dispatch for another load or enroute to a layover spot... I could consider myself off-duty. If I choose to drive my truck to the grocery store for...

I have been out of expediting for a couple of years. Looks like I may need to get back in for a while. My last truck had a DD Series 50 with 9sp. Loved it and it served me very well, but they haven't been installed in trucks since 2003. Had experience with the Cat 3126, but they aren't...

We have been at this for 18 months, leasing and paying lots of our hard earned cash, based on %. We are looking at new trucks and I'm more than a little put off by both the price and the attitude of the sales staff. You'd think that a salesperson would be happy to help... I mean your gonna...

After 300K on my shift and 200K on previous leasee's shift I am preparing to buy this tired old FL80. I have built up equity to the tune of maybe 6K for a purchase price. Should have about 600K on equipment by then. So, Weave, I have been reading the manual on the 3126 again and have noticed...

Hello all, It is hard to believe that there isn´t one post on business plans other than reference to them. How many of us REALLY have taken the time to write one? Advisors... can anyone recommend their attorney or accountant? I AM writing a business plan and want to enlist the time and...
