Sorry Pelicn, I only replied in the forum to respond to public accusation and will not reply further in the thread :) I dont believe it should have originated in a public thread to begin with but what is done is done, the rest will be (from me anyway) in private as it should be hun :)

Now that I have addressed the post there are a couple things I would like to say. My phone number was changed(you knew that was gonna be happening real soon. I wont post it here but our mutual friend will give it to you) You asked me once what I thought your bigest problem was and I told you...

I get the same maps on the owner site and my driver web but this may because I am owner on 1 contract and drive on another?

I am starting to think the old 50 mile radius should be brought back. Atleast them we knew where we stood. I thought the idea of reducing boards was gonna keeps trucks outta dead zones not incorporate the dead zones into the hot zones. I am LOST!!!! I like many of the new changes but this time I...

This has been an ongoing thing for several months and this is just the beginning. When first announced they were talking about getting it down to the 60-70 board range but I doubt if it will go that far. It makes sense to eliminate many of them though. I am sitting in cincinnatti and within a...

It isnt just vans. ST's are $1.10 now with .05 for each upgrade. Ex: team=.05, hazmat=.05 ect. We added a new truck a few weeks ago and had to be reviewed to determine if it would get the same rate as our others or come in at the $1.10. We got the rate but only if truck is team and has hazmat...

I woulda missed this post if a friend had not pointed it out. I like the "other expediters" bit here because you must not have gone to your own company's broker site to see all the CHEAP loads they post there. Guess they might be part of the problem too, eh? Just a thought

The 1st was a suspicion that could not be verified. The second time came with witnesses and I started the process of moving a truck into position to recover the truck. Unfortunately they were told we were coming for it. This is a mistake I wont make again.

When I first decided to buy my own trucks, I found an ad in the EO Classifieds for a lease purchase. The agreement was that it remain leased to the carrier under his contract. I wanted trucks without alot of money down and it seemed like a good idea. I would not repeat that one again and at this...

That is a newer truck. Somehow I doubt someone would do that to a truck THEY just paid 120K for, but then I could be wrong lol. It takes all kinds.....

Fortunately, They still had some money coming, key word here is "had". Not enough to cover recovery and repair but a good portion of it. They are now threatening to file suit for the money and I welcome the chance to face them in court (and the parking lot afterwards). I have never held an...

I have been reading the "Crooked Owners" thread for some time now and I have had enough!! I just spent a week in seville trying to fix damage done to a truck by a driver. After he and his co-driver were fired for drinking while under a pro (several times) he cut all the wires for the lights...

We have 2 Columbias ( 1 '01 and 1 '04) and a Century ('04) that were stretched and 22' boxes added. We found the conversions to be well worth the money. As for 10k trucks, well, I would have to get it looked at by a trusted mechanic and even then would have to think long and hard before buying...

nah we just go buy new stuff lol

Pup trailer?? Hey maybe but that is a new one on me. As for jumping in right now, 3 words come to mind: 1) READ 2) READ 3) READ Oh and did I mention Read? Go back from about mid October last year and read every post in the general and newbie forums. This is a hard time to be in this...

A computer database now includes more than 500 female murder victims whose bodies were discarded at truck stops, motels and other locations. Ummm, workin girls comes to mind and we all know only truck drivers could be responsible for that, right??? Now I am not saying they are all...

Bang Bang!!! hehe Seriously, This isnt the time as these gentlemen have said. Things will probably get worse before they get better out here. When things turn around, though, you might wanna try it out :). In the meantime, research, research and when you are done, research some more. You...

It would look better on ball caps and sweatshirts (hint hint) ;)

Leave Youngstown, OH gonig to Long Island and tell the garmin to avoid tolls. It only takes about 30 miles extra driving to get there with minimum toll bridges but the garmin will route you over 2000 miles back to michigan, across canada down through maine and down though white plains. (tell it...

The only thing going on here is trying to eliminate people coming in causing a stink never to be heard from again. Simple, make an attempt to be part of the group before slamming a company, product or person. In other words, give us time to know the source, so we can "consider the source". I...
