Yea, Dave has even looked for loads for other people. Dave is old school and we should call him Father Expediter. Nothing I wouldn't do for him. if he called me and ask if he could park one of his trucks here at our lot. It would be yes everytime. Plus he knows we live in Seville, Ohio about...

I would have to agree with Cheri, if that was the case why isnt FedEx Custom Critical paying us 100% of the FSC on the runs.

I can understand you on that post.

I was talking about the website of EO being a tool to help people in this business. Never heard the word "tool" used as a insult. Wasn't trying to do that at all. Sorry if you took it that way.

Great post Dave. I think your very good to your drivers.

Yep Steve, you know how to do it. Your the man.

It would cost you alot to buy the things to make it. Remember it has to be water proof and its covered in leather. Most pad compaines make them, those compaines make stuff like the padding for the goal post in the end zone.

Where on the same page then Hawk, Yea if a driver is busting his or her butt to unload the truck, yea we try to give them most of it. They all know that, I have even ask them to call me when that happens so they can write it down on their weekly paperwork they send to us. They understand that...

Its a wall that can be used in a refer unit to make one side of the box cold and the other side at room air. It straps into the E-Track on the box. They are really nice to have, if you have a small load, your refer doesn't have to cool the whole box either. You can put it up and just cool the...

I would have to agree with you Cheri. The team in the ER unit called me and said that the customer wanted then to unload the truck by hand. The load was 25000lbs of computer equitment and it was on wheels. I ask the driver what Fedex was was paying the truck to do that, which was $550.00. I gave...

Your wrong Hawk, You think owners keep the same pads and straps in the truck for 10 years. I dont know about you, but pads need to be cleaned and some need to be replaced. You have to replace the equitment when it breaks. White Glove equitment is not cheap, a skinnny Bun for a CR or DR can cost...

Moonweed - welcome to EO, but you need to read more before making a statement like that.:) Thank you Lawrence. Moonweed EO is a tool that we get to use for free. Welcome to EO my friend. Hope you have better luck with the next person you drive for and always get it on paper.

Now that is different, Yea I would have gave the team more than 50% it depends on the load. I would have gave you 100% on that one.

Why would an owner give a driver 100% of the unload charges or the D-time. The drivers are using the Liftgate, pallet jack, Pads, Dolleys and so on that the owner bought. If the drivers have a problem with that then maybe they should go buy a truck and set it up like that so they can pay almost...

Good Point my friend Greg. Will have to change that. Thanks Greg

Was thinking about that too. But it could be an insurace problem. Their is a place in Seville that may work for this idea, but the owner need to clean the lot up some. Looks like Sanford and son. Could even make it a small Expediters truck stop if it was cleaned up. But still would have to go to...

Thanks Steve that was a great post.

Just wanted to know if alot of Panther drivers stop by the home office. My family has been in the trucking and truck repair business for over 80 years and was thinking of building a shop or renting one. We live in Seville, Ohio and I'm sick of seeing the TA charge way to much on small repairs to...

Now that was funny. lol

Cheril I understand how you feel on the load except. When it comes to excepting loads we have certain criterias set in place for the driver to make the choice on excepting the load or turning it down. If it was a load that didn't meet those criterias and the load is turned down we dont hold...
