Well lets start by saying I ran for them for a couple of years till I went team. Try Hours is ok to work for but to make the best money you meed to stay in oh, mi, in, il, ky area. As for the lease purchase program, I got my truck from them, these are trucks they own and are taken care of by a...

Sitting in Oklahoma City, OK. Been her for 2 days, nothing but cheap freight offers. The ice has finally melted mostly away. The weather is nice today. God I wish I was home, at least I could be in a comfey seat (HAHA). Hope you all are safe where you are at.

Just to clarify things, I do not carry alcohol on my truck as a rule, it is always an exception to the rule. I do not need alcohol to survive. Now for the gray area called the rules which can be interpeted in many different ways. My rule of thumb for the most part is I only drink when off duty...

I went through the DOT books and do not see any mention of transporting alcohol for personnal consumption. I see my sleeper as my home and as such DOT can not search it without a warrent or permission from me. In most states it is legal for passengers to drink alcohol in a motor home as long as...

The only use for that truck is for show or for sale. I got a chance to look at the inside and no one I know would ever be able to deal with it as a working truck. But it is a sweet truck, I would love to have it to show off, or as a recruitment vehicle. Yes all that was in the sleeper was a big...

To all expeditors, beware of D&D Express out of Ypsilanti MI, will rip you out of money. My friends and I drove for them and they ripped us off. They could barely run there trucks even though the two drivers were willing to go where they were sent. If you are willing to work for them please...

Sleep, everbody always said is what you get when your dead, god that made me worry.:D

Alright, I have been reading and learning from all the post on EO for some time now. So now I need a question answered, if there was an expedite company who offered a good per mile rate($1 to $2) for LTL, full fuel surcharge (say 30 to 40 cpm), low deadhead (under 25% of the loaded miles), full...

THE POINT I WAS MAKING ABOUT SIZE IS THE MORE DRIVERS A COMPANY HAS THE MORE DIFFICULT IT IS TO GET A LOAD AFTER REFUSSING A LOAD. I HAVE TALKED TO MANY DRIVERS THAT HAVE SIT FOR DAYS AFTER REFUSSING A LOAD. FOR THE SMALLER COMPANYS, AS LONG AS THEY CARE ABOUT GROWING THE WILL DO GOOD FOR A...

I DROVE A TRUCK FOR ABOUT 6 YEARS LOCAL AND THEN DECIDED TO TRY EXPEDITE IN A CLASS 7 TRUCK. I HAD NO EXPERIENCE, NO TRUCK, JUST SICK AND TIED OF KILLING MYSELF HAND UPLOADING A TRUCK FOR PEANUTS. I HAVE NOW BEEN DOING THIS FOR 6 MONTHS AND I AM HAPPY I TOOK THE CHANCE. IT TOOK ME 2 MONTHS TO...

The best way I found to make quick decision is I do not take any loads that have deadhead of 1/4 or more of the loaded miles. If they offer me a load going 120 miles and I have to deadhead for 50 miles to get it I won't take it. But 2 weeks ago I deadheaded for 160 miles for a 1100 mile load. I...

Does any body know how they are doing as a company? Bye the way, HI SNORT!!!!!!

I think I would go back to Atlantic Beach, NC. I was recently visited there while waiting for a load in the area. I had lunce and walked for about three hours on the beach and never had a rude person approch me. It was accually nice and calm (the women were also pleasing to the eyes). But in...

I work for a company out of Ohio, I am a solo driver running expedite. I have been home almost every saturday and sunday since I started. I run around 1500 to 2000+ miles a week, am home Friday night, or Saturday morning, usually loaded for a Monday morning drop. It is always nice to do a reset...

I take a receiver with me to camp, my hunting cabin, my truck, any place I want to. I have direct tv and for receivers 2 and up I pay 5 dollars a month each extra. I already have 5 receivers on my account and only 1 of them is plugged into a phone line. The key to it you do not tell them what...

I do a 60/40 split with the owner I work for. It seems to be ok with one exception and that I know what they get every week, and I think with the 40% they get I should just buy ny own truck.
