OVM: Part of me wants to say "AMEN" to your post, but I swear, I've seen more liars prosper than people who tell the truth no matter what the consequences. Not saying its right at all, but how many times have you felt that while trying to do the right thing...you are the ONLY one doing the right...

Please re-read what A-team said many, many, times. I lost a friend that I was closer to than my own brother! Over Money! If you would have told me that we would let money interfere with our friend-ship when we started, I would have told you No Way! BUT IT DID! If you spend enough time with...

hell of a post Rocketman! Someone should engrave what you said in gold!

Thanks, that was the answer I can understand!

That's what I thought, too!

Thank you, sir. Thats the way I saw it. If their check cashes I really don't care if they work out of a drafty barn! Thanks, Jumbuck!

I was told by another expediter driver that the company I run for was "just a Broker" and not a carrier! He actually had a sneer on his face. Is there anything detrimental about being a broker (and working from a shoestring) as opposed to a regular carrier? Thanks Jumbuck

Hi. Could someone please explain to me the difference between a Expediting "carrier" and a "broker?" Not sure what the difference is. Thank you for help. Jumbuck:confused:

Maybe NOT being around "other" kids could be a "good" thing.

Do you mean that there is no worries, mate? As I said, I've never done it so I didn't know what it would be like...I guess I'm just dumb!!

Thanks for great info: Now if I can ask...what is a deep cycle battery and what is a battery isolator and where might we get one? Thanks so much....

Thanks SO much!!!!! My wife will be OVERJOYED to find this out!

Well, I sure know something about being a newbie and I run with my wife of 38 years so maybe I can help. (I can't beleive I'm actually helping someone). Anyway, we broke into expediting 8 months ago with a friend's sprinter van and we absolutley LOVE IT! Now be aware that we are both retired...

I was curious about this: NOT trying to be cute or funny but do truck stops allow married couples to shower together? It seems to me this would drastically cut down on cost of a shower and it would make the ladies feel a whole lot safer, depending on the mood of the husband, maybe not...

Thank you. As I said, it's NOT the company, it's ME! I am putting the pressure on MYSELF to make a good impression but as you said I've got to "stop it" and I will. Thanks...

Thats EXACTLY what I was trying to say, Sir. Thank you. BTW I LOVE reading your blog...Please don't stop. Jumbuck

No, Mr. Madsen it's NOT the company putting the pressure on. As I said it's ME. I am new and I thought I have to keep up with the seasoned Vets. I KNOW that's stupid! It IS stupid but that's just how I am until I learn better (which I never seem to do). On-Dekk transportation has NEVER put any...

You see????That's why I LOVE this forum. I can't tell you guys (meaning Ladies Too) how much your excellent advice means to me.I know you might get tired of answering the same old questions but dang it when you are new at something you DON'T know what the norm is. I know 2 people will move a box...

Where ARE these load boards that I hear so much about?

Yes. A small wheelbase sprinter. Yes, I use a GPS but I swear sometimes it seems like that is against me two. It takes me down some of the weirdest roads. It is a Garmin Nuvi 1450LMT. It sometimes takes the dumbest routes, but it always finds the adress okay.
