Every make and model can be a pain in the you know what at times I personally like the high roof 176 WB Mercedes, or the Dodge Transit 159 WB over the Fords. Seems the Fords are not much better than the Mercedes for maintenance costs, Mercedes have less issues if you really pay attention to the...

My deepest condolences goes out to the the McCord family and the Expediters Online staff. He was always a nice guy and I know he is very well respected among the expedite companies in the industry, he will be missed.

Best bang for the buck, lowest up front cost and has the lowest maintenance costs is the Dodge Promaster. Issue with Ford is the dealers rip you off. The 3.6 engine in the Dodge is more reliable and cheaper to fix IMHO.

PLEASE SHARE: Many of our drivers Fusion Transportation Group have recently been to the hot zones of the coronavirus delivering much needed medical supplies to hospitals and front line medical workers. With many cities starting to mandate face mask wearing like Laredo Texas we need to be...

We lost a brother yesterday. Many of you knew and meet Kent Victorian on the road, he drove for Fusion Transportation Group for the past several years. He passed away suddenly yesterday, we are asking to help us raise funds for his family and to cover funeral expenses. He will be deeply missed...

John, Glad to see your back!

I have had the privilege to work with both organizations over the years and we are happy to hear the news. It's refreshing to see mergers and growth of privately owned companies in our industry. Congratulations to the employees, owner operators and families of both organizations.

Very sad Thoughts and prayers to the family. 42 is too young.

I think people will be more than happy to discuss the items an agreement should encompass and you and the owner could draw up your own agreement. That being said, doesn't the owner have an agreement already?

That 30 minute break is a pain but not nearly as cost prohibitive and restricting as the restart rule.

More: A stroke of President Obama’s pen yesterday immediately suspended provisions of the 34-hour restart rule that had limited truck drivers to using the restart only once a week and had required them to take two consecutive 1:00 to 5:00 am rest periods in that time. "This really matters since...

Posted December 17, 2014 President Obama signed the FY 2015 Omnibus Appropriations bill into law late on December 16, 2014. Language in the legislation immediately prohibits the enforcement of the 34-hour restart restrictions as currently written in Section 395.3 of the Federal Motor Carrier...

Mr. Johns was gracious enough to inform us that he has found a home with another carrier. I wish him the best of luck!

It was great meeting you folks too a the Expo! Glad to see your on the forums continuing your research!

Larry, I am sorry you felt the urge to write this post versus contacting us to discuss this issue. By reading your take on what happened it appears there may be some confusion regarding an employee versus an independent contractor. Since you brought up your medical history in this thread, to be...

Re: Are Any Expedited Carriers Concerned with keeping on Own/Op with current low rate Don't forget CSA 2010 and the DOT. Much harder to control safety with contactors than it is with employee drivers.

He gets in an accident without indicating he is not for hire in some way, could cause trouble for the carrier. Lawyers have a way of putting liability on things. The driver could deliver and go on his/her way to a store on personal business. If they get in an accident, still could fall on...

Check with safety. I would think being OOS status and covering the decals with "not for hire" signs while on personal time would suffice for most carriers.

Better then Buddies Pizza?
