    New to the forum and expediting!

    George,with all due respect,if your having a hard time with TT,you should not get deeper in the mire by going expediter.At least not now with no experience.If you must be involved with trucking,a dedicated TT weekly run that pays the bills is better then putting your a## on the line with a...

    Anyone ever lose a load because they had a pet in the truck with them?

    i thought I would catch more heat then that for my pet rant. In reality,I'm an animal lover with many good friends in the canine and feline family. And I've never eaten any dogs,not been offered any a far as I know. But these drivers drove me crazy. They were in all other regards trust worthy...

    Anyone ever lose a load because they had a pet in the truck with them?

    A post very close to my heart. It's been 1.5 years since I sold my 5 expediters,but the memories are forever scorched in my mind (whats left of it). I ran White Glove reefers for FECC. They used to be,and probably still are,extremley offended by animals (for pets or meat) in these trucks.Being...

    Take Care

    Ark,I'm so sorry to hear that you are going to DITO this hog wash about Obama and Muslums. Take a stand now Ark,I mean it,you can think for yourself. When our country is once again back on track after the last 8 years of this repub nightmare (where torture is OK )and our Constitution has all...

    Oil at $150 by 4th of July

    Who separates out at times like these are those who know how to manage their business,even in tough times,and those that don't.I'm in the household goods arena these days as most of you know. With 35 vans on the road,our agency pays close attention to our owner op's to make sure they remain...

    Stop Smoking Now!!!

    Going back a few years I was accused of being a smoking nazi for putting "smokers need not apply" in my Drivers Wanted ad.I had a several drivers "promise to quit" if I hired them,but I suggested they quit first. I don't see it as being a nazi when I own the truck, always pay on time and am...

    Truckers Expect Record High Fuel Costs - Forbes.com

    Hope your all doing well out there. I've been busy selling household goods transportation to a country that can't sell their homes so they can't move. Then when they can move,they can't pay for the cost because the fuel sur charge is to high. Meanwhile, our drivers are all pi$$ed off because the...

    FedEx C C Snitches

    A favorite of many FEDEX W/G snitch's is to snap a picture of a micro poodle in the window of a truck and get the drivers booted.Get a life( I guess you have what you call a life already)or get more exercise OUTSIDE of the truck.

    I feel your pain.Your English is a lot better then anyones Russian on this site.Thats a fact. It may become a very difficult time for trucking in general in the near future,with fewer loads and too many trucks.Lets hope not. Good luck and keep posting,it helps to hear from everyone.

    100K Buyout

    Hey Ark you were certainly not who I speaking about.In fact,it was a general statement about two income (pensioned)couples who call expediting a job.They think they can council newbies on the business side of this thing when they have no clue.They need to be experts on something even if it's...

    100K Buyout

    My experience tells me that there are more then a few on this site who love to speak as experts (the voice's of wisdom )who have never made a dime in this busienss. They have dual pensions and just kill time being van expediters.Kind of makes me wonder about too much time on their hands. I...

    new reefer business

    I must take a little exception to your rose tinted glass's analysis of the fuzzy little warm munchkins streaking into the Green office to work so hard for the contractors.I usually don't wish to p** on your parade,but I'm afraid you may have dilluted yourself just a tad bit.The munchkins work...

    new reefer business

    As my fleet was aging,and the trucks had mega miles on them(all original engines that had been cared for well)I had to decide if investing in new W/G equipment was worth it.The numbers I saw for the last 12 months showed a steady decline,and costs were on a steady incline.My choice was easy for...

    new reefer business

    This is also BAD news for those reefer dealers who specialize in expedite. Ofcourse,this is not the death nell for reefer freight in general,but the W/G concept as it used to be is a dead duck.As for FEDEX,"it's about the money stupid ".Seems we may be hearing that famous quote more rather the...

    Blind truckers and toilet seat standing

    Been on the road for a few weeks,too busy to check out the site.I like the new lay out,but it seems some people have WAY too much time on their hands.It's always telling how much freight there is out there when the topics begen to drift.No disrespect intended to any group,just an observation...
