    Will Trump's Take on Trade Be Boost or Bust for Fleets?

    I got a true laugh out of that one. I signed in- forgot password and all- just to come on here and give it a like.

    Expediter Event- Monroe Mi-

    Thanks Lawrence. I enjoyed the event and putting some faces to names was pretty neat. Also some of the new people I met were pretty nice too. In addition I learned some things. I came out of the event with a little bit different idea of what I wanted than going in. There's always options...

    Talk About Your Cheap Freight.

    He was saying BS cuz he thought $3.97 was way to high. According to your bill, it was only $2.97. So apparently he was on to something.

    This might not work for people in this industry, but it's a grin how effective it worked for this guy. Checkpoint Soulwinning Demonstration Video - YouTube

    local routes

    I know someone who does. I'll tell ya the positives and negatives as best as I know them. He does quite well, but be ready to put in some time. He's working from 6AM-6PM 5 days a week. He makes $800 on his route, and other work sometimes adds some more. He's made as much as $1500, but is...

    Wokmans Comp

    Actually, over the years even the members on this site have probably paid into the millions. Mine is $32/week or $1664/year. Multiply that by all the members of this site and I bet it's well over $1,000,000.

    Wokmans Comp

    If you took the $$ we've all paid (not just this site, but all drivers in expedite) into workmans comp vs the amount we've collected, the amount would be in the millions in profits for someone else. What a racket. And then they fight tooth & nail for a $255 bill.

    10 year's at ceva

    Yea, he always thought outside the box. I think that contributed a lot to his success. Congrats to ya Geo. You'll prolly make more in retirement than most do working.

    10 year's at ceva

    Geo's kicking tail w/ Ceva. I was w/ em when they were EGL. Different areas might not be as good as down in Virginia. I did ok w/ em, but not well enough to justify a Sprinter & the payment that went w/ it. They let me use my Ford until the end of ??? (2005 or 6 I think). After that, I...

    Do you ever get tired of this?

    No, because I do two things. I drive & have a lil business. There's always the bit of a dip in attitude once in awhile where I'd rather be on a beach or something, but that rarely lasts too long. I don't go bananas over it like you may be doing now. I've been in your shoes though, so I can...

    Have You Undergone an IRP Audit? What Was it Like?

    While I've never had an audit, I've had 2 run ins w/ the IRS. The first one was back in 95 I think it was. I worked for Try Hours at the time. I don't recall the exact numbers, but the idea is right. Basically the IRS said I made $18,000 working for Ford & that I owed them $5,000 in taxes. I...

    Old friend in new places?

    Friday I was driving down the highway. I was about 200 miles from home. Along comes my former jiu jitsu instructor and passes me. He didn't stop or anything. It got me thinking to when I met a guy from my high school on spring break at a beach in Florida. We didn't know each other in high...

    working for multiple companies, which are the good one and bad ones???

    Dave- I think he meant 26k in total repairs. That also I believe, includes motels he had to stay at while his van was getting repaired. As to the original poster- For a very few multi companies work out. For most, it doesn't. Some of the companies who will let you work for others don't pay...

    Is a spotlight legal?

    I think it's worse in the last few years because so many more people are on cell phones. Before if ya tapped your light at someone they'd realize they had their brights on & dim em. Now they're in their own world not paying attention.

    Is a spotlight legal?

    It's not about it getting on my nerves. It's about being able to see. I adjust the mirrors. Though I like Cheri's idea too. When you're in a construction zone & there's all those orange barrels, it's tough to see when the oncoming traffic flashes their brights at the guy behind me.

    Is a spotlight legal?

    I'm not out to cause an accident. I'd just sorta like to be able to see myself. I'm open to a better idea.

    Is a spotlight legal?

    Every now & then someone gets behind ya that won't turn off their brights. If I can I'll slow down & let em pass. Sometimes though, you're in a construction zone or what have ya. I'm not asking this in a way that I'm some maniacal guy trying to blind someone. I'm more just wondering if...

    Ptl?

    I don't think they're that great. They won't even let ya set up a mobile poker game in the back of your rig.
