RE: You are being watched RE: post disappered Hi we finished orientation on Sept 12th this year and we were told they have a hired company that do follow their trucks! And, when I was with CC in a cargo van, sometime before I left in '02 ( cannot remember what year) I did get a report in the...

RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening TeamCaffee, your comment about campgrounds reminded me to ask, are there campgrounds that accept straight trucks? I would love to spend time at campgrounds if they'd let us in!! I remember seeing ONE sign that "truckers welcome" at one...

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower Well thank you all for your comments, I finally got online to read them...entertaining in the least., I like Ateams comments about getting a flat bed reefer!! LOL....As far as comparing apples to oranges with reefer freight, why Charlotte...

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower RichM, was on with Roberts/then FECC for 5 years but I think that was after they did that percentage towards home though. But what always bugged me about getting penalized for going home was they hired the truck BECAUSE they wanted trucks from...

ATeam, excellent idea!! Next home trip I'll load up some boxes and have them handy...I will sell them cheap! Just to get rid of them! Have given many away to friends, family. But have lots left. Any particular ones you like? Themes, mysteries etc? If you wish, give me your truck #...

Thanks Terry, I've heard of the Vu-Tube, and it sounds like a decent deal but I do not think you can watch it while moving the truck....At least from what I have read. Perhaps in the future they'll come up with one, I know they sell them at RV dealerships but are pricey. Being a team we'd like...

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower Yes Nitecreature, and I am happy with that arrangement, I understand several "fleets" left FECC and went on with them but because I am only one truck I had no clout, and nearly 6 yrs of service to them meant nothing...but such is life in this...

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower Hi Ark, yes you get paid the same rate whether or not you haul reefer or regular loads, that was the attraction to put the unit on with Panther, but....I did question this in my mind, what if a lower rate truck was sitting there with you, behind...

Hi, any suggestions on where to find a "roaming sattelite system?" We are looking for a system that mounts on the roof of the cab/sleeper which roams finding stations while moving. I know you can go to a camper/rv dealer, just wondering if anyone has found some decent deals at other vendors...

Howdy, been awhile since I posted but just have a question out of curiosity... I became an Elite O/O, with a reefer, C unit. Nearly lost my shirt because of getting passed over for lower rate trucks. I was able to prove it to myself and to Panther by an oversited message on my QC offer that a...

MrGood, we are up in New Hampshire, tried to find a place, any place to park and catch a trolley yesterday to go to downtown Boston, couldn't find anyplace, for the straight truck so got frustrated and wound up in Lynn Mass on rt 1 and had a nice dinner on the ocean, but glad you mentioned the...

Are the Sprinter owners getting more for that heavy freight? I am speaking to the "cat"? I have a Sprinter on with them but most times have to fight for a higher rate when we can take more than a normal van. Loading over 2500 lbs is IMO suicide. It is rated for 3000 lbs but have had 2800 and...

Thank you Mr Bricker, you are always so much help in here!! Dianne ;) :)

Forgive my ignorance but I need to know how to go into an archive for a specific subject? Someone advised I look up the archives regarding liftgates and I am not sure how to go about doing this. Your help is really appreciated. I looked up in the faqs and found nothing and clicked on the...

Oh my goodness! Just came out of Fl and didn't hear that news till I just read the post. They'll all be in my prayers! God Bless all of you drivers out there! How very sad. Dianne

Thank you all so much for your responses. You were all of great help! We're debating on the lift-gate now, the one almost installed was too small we realized just in time. We Do have a reefer so figured the lift gate may come in handy for that type of freight, time and exp. will tell...

Hello, need to know what size lift gates you folks that have one use for expedite? Does the deck have to be at least 48" to accomodate a full sized pallet? If not what is the popular sizes out there? Also does your pallet jack fit on the platform? I would hope so but have no experience with...

RE: Count your blessings, don't sweat the small st Sincere condolences to you Leo. I thank the good Lord for family and friends and it is so sad when we lose one. God Bless. Dianne

I have heard of contracts by owners being a vehicle to withhold pay etc etc. But, in defense of that, a contract is only as good as the words in it. I always ask the person(s) to read it over, and let me know if anything is unclear, or if they do not agree with something in it. I am flexible...

I have found good and bad drivers. Most of whom I found on expediters online. You need to have a good contract that protects you both, and a fairly good intuition when you talk to and or meet the potential driver(s). I like to meet potential drivers only after I have talked to them a few...
