I was with Landstar for 11 years. I really liked them but I starved the last two years with them. It has been two years since then. I hope there business bounced back.

Just like fuel prices. Supply is up due to fracking and lack of agreement among oil producing nations to keep production es b doiwn. Since supply is up demand for corporate profit is up. If supply of expediting vehicles is up causing rates to go down shouldn't we be discouraging newbies from...

Yes, but he might not have been prepared. We don't know the circumstances and to be so harsh to someone not knowing why he did what he did is wrong.

Embarrassing someone to thousands of people in the same industry as this driver is certainly a harsh punishment. I must ask if when you confronted this driver did you ask him if there were an emergency that lead him to urinate in the parking lot. If so you didn't mention this your post. If not...

I have over 2,100,00 miles expediting, over 2,700,000 miles in a tractor trailer, 275,000 miles driving a cab in New York City, and over 200,000 on motorcycles.

Shanghai,Beijing,Shenzhen,Hong Kong,Shantou. If there are any good American cities for expedited freight any more I don't know of any.

During the last month I've moved my van out of my driveway 3 times to be able to snow blow. Does that count?

My Hebrew is pretty bad but it looks like it says. "*****, look for you friends." I think the look for your friends part is slang for " get lost".

Not much has changed in 3 years. Pay is low. Carriers over hire. Logistics companies have ripped the heart out of the industry. We still have newbies, who are the most vulnerable, wanting to lease onto these carriers after hearing the lies they are told by recruiters. Politics in America shows...

I worked for Tri-State from 1997 through 2002 so I decided to watch the video. What a mistake. I wish I had a large paper bag. What a mess. I better get some paper towels and clean up.

The original question was if this is the future of Expediting? The first question to ask is whether there will be a future in Expediting the way things are going. I don't understand why the yellow van in the picture can't have a gvw of 10,000lbs. Chevrolet and GMC have duel wheel cutaway vans...

Ho Chi Minh Trail Highway.

Expediting has made me agoraphobic. Every time I drop a load and go to a truck stop to wait for my next load I get an abnormal fear of never escaping and being stuck in a seemingly hopeless situation. After sitting for a whole week again without a load and little hope of paying my van payment...

2005. I wish I could say this year but my carrier "L" is dead.

The Teamster's strike in 1979 followed by the Independent Tucker's strike later that year showed that trucker strikes don't work in America. The Teamster strike accomplish very little after the Auto companies in...

I agree with you Flyingvan. I just think its strange. Zorry what you told us about is strange too. For meat to be Kosher first the animal has to be ritually slaughtered in specific manner as not to cause pain by someone extensively trained to do so. All the blood must be drained. Then the meat...

Expediting Kosher bottled water seems silly to me. Many different brands of bottled water are marked Kosher so it would be easy enough to find locally. Also they could have just used tap water. Even if the quality of the tap water in their area was not to their satisfaction a water filter would...

That load of Kosher water is weird. There is no such thing as Kosher or non Kosher water. Water used to boil pork could be considered non Kosher because of the pig meat residue in the water. Tap water or bottled water obviously wouldn't contain any non Kosher food in it.

Bison,SD is in western South Dakota. According to the 2010 census the top 3 counties in America with the highest poverty rates are in western South Dakota. I knew people are desperate for food and supplies in that area but I never realized it was this bad.

Years ago I had to take a van full of live rats to a NYC Health Department facility in Manhattan. They were collected from traps set at abandoned apartment buildings in the Bronx. The NYC Health Department were checking them for disease. The screeching noise of over 50 rats, unhappy at being...
