Yeah. That's the lingo. They think they are dealing "brokers," because they want to work with a bunch without the commitment of accounts receivables and all. Expedite is a small world. They don't want any confines like a lease contact, but then they get mad when their "broker" doesn't live up to...

We run a couple of DRW cubes that are under 10K GVW and over. They do pretty well. We don't take SRW. Just DRW cubes with a minimum of 144 x 90 floor space. With an E450, you could probably do a tuckaway gate. You'd need to same model gate that go on the Isuzu NPRs, but it can be a money maker.

We do not require a CDL for vehicles that do not require a CDL to operate. However, we are NOT accepting vans or sprinters at this time. Six wheeler cubes or straights only.

Carriers pay for advertising space. EO is not posting carriers as "five star" because they endorse them. Some carriers have 21 days after the close of the week. It all comes down to your contract. If you're one of those vans running as an "independent," you probably opted to avoid a contract...

Very true. Just had another discussion that proves my point. Here are a few more reasons why people can't handle it: 1. They never figured out their operating costs, and needlessly waste running expenses, 2. They got into the business out of desperation (understandable in light of recent...

Unfortunately, some will read and STILL not get it. I have owners operators that are becoming very successful, and some that are just struggling to get by. The struggling ones can struggle for a number of reasons, but a predominate reason seems to be that they are unprepared for the lifestyle...

I can't tell you from an internal perspective, but we've worked with them carrier to carrier, and found them to be quite professional and straight up in all of their dealings. As far as that FMCSA report, the miles are from 2009, as the report is for 2010. When they file their biennial update...

We've been hit and miss for January. I'd be glad to see it pick up tomorrow. We has a real good first quarter last year. Even better than the 4th quarter, which left a lot to be desired. In this kind of market, there are no rules.

He's joking with you.

I have nothing against Angelryder. It's just a misunderstanding. I replied to him on 12/16 regarding his equipment. When the specific specs were delivered, they differed enough from the general specs I had originally received that made this deal close to impossible. He had mentioned having...

PMs denouncing us? I'd be happy to see a reprint....with the screen name included please. I don't mind answering critics. Though you wish to turn your sour grapes from a private matter into a public forum, I have no animosity towards you personally. We simply have no current openings for a...

Bruno, Hazmat is an endorsement, given with a separate test and fee. No CDL requires Haz. I know cuz I "haz" none. But I do have a passenger endorsement, by my own decision.

Angelryder: Before you get resentful, you need to be reminded that I never promised to lease your equipment, but only to discuss it with you, as I was not sure that your equipment would be suitable for us. That original thread is here...

I've heard of a NOW Expedite out of Dallas, North Carolina.

Johndeereman, Give me a call at the office. Maybe I can help. 407-574-8511

What was the listed price before you haggled with them? It's not unheard of for them to have million milers priced above 20 grand.

So, buying this old jalopy for 1700.00 is cheaper than renting a Penske for a move?

Here's the only difinitive thing I can find from FMCSA: 391.11 General qualifications of drivers. (a) A person shall not drive a commercial motor vehicle unless he/she is qualified to drive a commercial motor vehicle. Except as provided in §391.63, a motor carrier shall not require or...

I just sent you a PM with some info that may help.

I called Bulldog about a truck for one of my van owner operators who was wanting to swap up. I learned a lot from that call. 1. True, the do not want to tell you what the price is on a truck. 2. They don't like people paying cash, probably because they make commission on the interest from...
