    Looking for a good truck owner?? We found one!

    Reply to Charlotte: Thanks for the info.I've been doing this for a while, but forget some of the little things a truck owner must endure. I guess what I'm saying is, I believe I could be making more money than I am. With this owner, thats the only downfall. This person is very good to me...

    Michigan turning into a dead zone?

    I also live in MI. My truck owner parks his trucks in Lapeer, and fortunately enough, there is a board there for Panther. I have never sat longer than 12 hours on the Lapeer board, waiting to get out as a team. Granted, it may not take you far (OH,IL,IN), but at least it moves you to a better...

    Hello, good people. Been out of the Expediting game for a while, and thinking about hooking up with a cargo van owner to drive. How's the van business, with the current cost of fuel? Thanks.
