I'm laying over a lot in Chicago. There was a Dennys in Elk Grove Village on RT 83 where lots of drivers were hanging out and shooting the bull, but seems like that Dennys is closed. I don't want to go down to the Flying J in Gary, I would like to stay up around the N/W side of Chicago, where...

hi rich m...by the number of replys to this issue, it appears that alot of people would rather talk trash and spend their time bashing. sure would be nice to see more conversations relating to the business of expediting. if anyone is really that interested in our neighbors to the north, pls try...

hi radar...alumibunk is ok. just keep your expenses down as much as possible, dont buy everything they try to sell you. if you are going to run team, you will do much better financially, expecially running husband and wife. i personally think fedex is better for a team. they seem to try very...

hi marty hi marty...it appears to me that loads are getting lighter. i started in a D unit and my average load was under 2000 lbs., but keep in mind that fedex will only drop the pay scale down one size, so if you are in a D unit, you receive C rate for any...

all the guy was asking for was a few helpful hints, not a history lesson. i like this web site because i get productive suggestions and information that relates to EXPEDITING. i think that was the original intention. lets keep it that way. have a safe trip.

can anyone give me info on emery expedite? thanks

hi sam. youre right. its not news...its been going on for a long time. thats my point. they continue to add trucks but i dont see the same amount of effort there to produce new business or even care for their existing customer base. when was the last time you saw a sales rep at the shipping or...

martys advice is excellent. if you are unsure of the expediting business, i would suggest that you try driving for someone else for awhile. check this web site for drivers wanted, theres lots of them. give it a try before making a commitment. good luck.

looks like my last message was posted 3 times. guess i got alittle carried away. sorry
