    Computerize Your Operation!

    I have the Jotto Desk Model # 5337ACD with 1 brace for Heavy Trucks, but I recommend for those that don't have air ride cabs to use the model # 5336ACD with 2 braces. If your seat height and shifter are in the same place as a Volvo 770s, I would mount the post directly behind the shifter far...

    Computerize Your Operation!

    Revision to my post #1. Jotto Desk Web Site: www.jottodesk.net Sorry, I didn't check it when I posted it. They have made a change. You can purchase 1 specific model of the Jotto Desk on the Delorme web site, but that looks like the model for a car and not for a truck. I bought the tallest...

    Computerize Your Operation!

    What if the nearest intersection had no signs? The fuel and time savings from not being lost and finding more economical routes will pay for the cost of the unit in no time. It helps on planning fuel stops and rest stops by knowing at anytime how far you are away from your destination. It...

    Computerize Your Operation!

    It is not so much the card as it is the Verizon Express Network is still building up. It seems like Verizon's Express Network and AT&T's T-Mobile are building up networks together. Verizon tells me they project full nationwide coverage with the express network by October 2003. You can still log...

    Expedite Truck with Own Authority?

    Thanks Lawrence for the come back. But the main reason I asked this is in a couple of other threads FedEx Logistics is mentioned and that they call other carriers outside of the FedEx family of companies. Does Fedex Logistics have a broker board or an agency we can call to obtain freight...

    Expedite Truck with Own Authority?

    Can a truck with its own authority get freight directly from Fedex CC, Conway Now, Panther II, Tri-State, etc? If yes, how do you find out who to contact at each or is this freight on a load board somewhere? If some of you have freight available from the Charlotte, NC area, my "E" unit tractor...

    Fedex CC or Conway Now?

    I have narrowed my search down to these 2 companies on which one I am going to place my "E" unit tractor (1998 Volvo 770) based out of Charlotte, NC. The revenue Fedex CC is telling me I can make are not even backed up by there recruiting brochure. But, it is hard to believe that Fedex CC with...

    Expediting Company Recruiters?

    Thanks everyone for your input! Another concern is the revenue these recruiters promise you is all percentage pay or mileage pay based on size of loads. Example: load that fits in an "A" unit is based on "A" unit pay even it is hauled in an "E" unit. I know I can turn these down, but I don't...

    Expediting Company Recruiters?

    I searched the archives. That's where I got all the negative information on the expiditing industry. I am sure there has got to be a good side to expiditing. I find it hard to believe that Charlotte, NC would not be a good area for expidited freight, both inbound and outbound has been good for...

    Expediting Company Recruiters?

    This is catching me off guard. I am not used to seeing positive post here for somebody wanting to get into the expediting business. Usually everybody post here to turn and run away as fast as you can. Wow! Thanks for the encouragement!
