    Expediters Going Hungry, For Real

    I think the A Team has lost touch with reality. A Team does not support a household or has children needing shoes etc. Easy to set high standards when no obligations need to be met. Of course this business is about profits. You can have all the high standards you think are great but when no...

    Where is the best place to call home to be near the frieght lanes?

    You also need to ask yourself,do I want to live in a truck the rest of my life or do I want to have a home to go to and relax and get away from the rigors of the the expediting lifestyle. Probably 90% of EO members prefer to have a home. The previously mentioned cities have much inbound freight...

    If you want to stay in the midwest I would consider Chicago Indianapolis St Louis, East coast would be Philadelphia. South ,Atlanta or Nashville. The Texas cities always seem to blow hot and cold.

    General Economic Conditions

    Abstract Economic concept. I don't think so . If you feel ROI means nothing I don't see how you could have called yourself a financial advisor.

    Newbie Needs Guidance! Need info on companies.

    I have to disagree with my friend Leo on the handeling of the freight. If the owner of the truck has invested in a lift gate,pads,straps,etc he should get at least 20% of the accessory charges. But it is also the owners responsibilty to make sure you know what you are doing because if the cargo...

    Class A vs Class B Truck Routes

    Usually there would be a sign saying No Trucks over x amount of tons. As far as I know I have never seen a map that breaks down roads by weight classifications. You can find restricted routes and low clearance locations in a Rand McNally map but nothing about Class A or Class B. These classes...

    When is a D is better than a C

    It sounds to me like you are looking at this as an hourly employee. In the expediting world pay is by the miles driven and the size plus weight of the load. The larger and heavier the shipment the greater the revenue is. A truck that is capable of carrying a larger load earns more money. C...

    When is a D is better than a C

    Dave you nailed it right on.An investment should generate the maximun return based on known factors. Now if I want to erect a 5 million dollar motel my demographics have told me that I can expect 80% occupancy based on my location and lack of competition. Calculating anticapted revenue vs...
