Hi! A year ago expedite trucking was fun. We have traveled the country and have had alot of adventures. You know what has happened to many businesses in the past year. Trucking has been greatly been affected and I don't think that it has even hit bottom yet. The pay and available jobs are slim...

My opinion is that the shippers are going to get used to having their loads shipped for such low rates that we will never see the money that we have been paid in the past. We were taking loads just to at least make some money but it really is shooting yourself in the foot for the future of...

Inkasnana, Absolutely criminal! I felt that she was a very scared runaway. When you see all the posters at Walmart and at truck stops where many runaways go, it breaks your heart to see the personalities in the photos and just know that something very bad has happened to them and maybe somewhere...

I know how to handle it! Shoot a couple of holes in the rubber raft. Everyone including the rifles go in the ocean. Wait for them to hysterically beg for help. Take a few minutes and ask what they have to trade for their lives. Get the Captain out. Wait for a few minutes and ask the pirates if...

Love the story! I keep trying to imagine what our toy poodles would do in the wild but then I go to the visuals of how they are now being very spoiled by their grandparents, being fed bonbons! Even though they are girls, when I tell them to "man up", they just ask for a sweater...

Hello! With the inconsistancy in the trucking industry, it's nearly impossible to give you numbers. There are so many variables, the most being this economic climate right now. Use this time to continue your research. This is probably one of the slowest times in recent memory. If you have a job...

About a month ago, we were at a truck stop and I noticed a very strange interaction between a sleazy trucker and a girl that appeared to be about 14 yrs. old. It just didn't look right to me. She seemed to be very scared and had a large gym bag with her. I watched for a few minutes and then...

Hi! Welcome to EO! Keep your positive attitude and remember that life is a balancing act, including expediting. We really enjoy this lifestyle even though it is very slow right now, that's where a good attitude comes in handy! Great that you have a nice truck and good owners. Good luck! Mark & Linda

Very interesting outlook on where we all may be headed. All the new rules and government control that are appearing everyday might start to become clearer and show that there just might be an agenda when you see this film. Look it up online. I'm not overly political or an alarmist but this film...

Absolutely loved this video! Very expressive bird! Thanks, made me laugh !!! Linda

Bob, Good luck to you, whatever you decide to do. Keep in touch! Linda

Hi! Dehydration is the cause of many problems. Too much caffeine, coffee etc, could also cause some of your symptoms. Caffeine robs the body of nutrients. When you urinate, you need to replace that much in fluids. Is the urine color medium to dark? You need more fluids, meaning water! As...

Greg, Yes, the TA in Monroe. That was this AM. We are now back at Interstate getting the truck repaired AGAIN. Missed an opportunity to possibly go to Alabama! Will be back at the TA when it's fixed. Just heard that we are to return tomorrow for the repairs. Are you there at the TA? Any other...

Good morning! Here at TA in Dearborn, Michigan, day 2. I see 5 Panther trucks, we are the only FedEx that I can see. Having a good breakfast and coffee in the truck and trying to put the Voodoo on where our next trip will be. Checked the USA Today map and south/southwest looks warm and sunny...

Welcome to EO ! Some expedite companies require experience. If that is the case, through a company's recruiter, they most likely will be able to arrange for you to take a Truck Driving Competency Test. This is a quick driving test and may cost about $100.00. It will be given in a straight truck...

Hi Ladies! This is something you might want to know about... Although most trucks have carpeting on the floor of the truck, I have found that a fleece dog blanket fits perfectly on the sleeper floor space.It is nice to walk on, you can shake it out everyday and wash it when needed. It can be...

To the new person that almost recieved this post, most people on this site are very friendly, welcome questions and your posts, no matter how "new " you are. Everyone is welcome on this site. Some may have to excuse my being too forward, I've only posted 20 times but know how rough some people...

Mypie, Like your post, sounds like my husband and I. We also started in March of last year and followed your advancement route. You explained the good, bad, ugly and good again. We feel as you do, we love this "job" and make the best of it. Having been in the professional world, we would never...

Very funny! Just the humor I needed on this rainy day in Baltimore MD., at the TA. Have you heard Tom Mabe on Utube listed under the "best crank call" ? Linda

layoutshooter, I'm going to hide out in Chilhowie, Virginia. Where's that? Thats my point. In the hills, behind the cow barn! Linda
