There are a lot of people out here making a living doing this business and having a great time while at it. Spend time on here reading. If possible when you see an expediter spend time with them and get many views of many companies. If possible attend a workshop or the Louisville truck show...

RE: ok anyone of a good place for down & out exped Yes Greg we haul discounted loads but only if the price is right.

RE: ok anyone of a good place for down & out exped Dave that price includes Dead Head!

RE: ok anyone of a good place for down & out exped FedEx Custom Critical does not pay the same as Panther so the dead head for us is a different issue. We get fsc and paid deadhead miles. When we get a load offer we are told dead head miles and loaded miles. It doesn't take a rocket...

RE: ok anyone of a good place for down & out exped If you are the Owner of an modest express truck 1.20 all miles with fsc is doable as long as you watch your p's and q's. What does it cost to keep sitting? If you put hard numbers to your bottom line and once again I am talking O/O express...

Our wish would be that fleet trucks and owners not be given preferential treatment over the one truck O/O. ie: Have to wait 6 months and have a good record before you get into White Glove much less T-Val Have to wait 6 months before you can apply for clearances

redytrk I am sure as soon as you brought this to FedEx Custom Criticals attention it was righted immediatly. Never have had the feeling they where out to get us.

We have run in heavy rain and the wipers still work the same as always even though they go across the slush buster. I am in my wildest dreams hoping that this winter that is all we see is rain! Ok I am in a dream world but when we do test them out I will let you know. I really hope this...

We had a problem with our curtains always moving away from the wall so Bob took a narrow piece of trim board. He sandwiched the curtain between the board and the wall and just nailed the in place. They no longer pull away from the wall! We also use bag clips to hold the curtains closed...

Phil, I have responded to your questions before and have asked for what you would do in the same situation and you have side stepped the question. So before I reply to this one I will ask: What would you ask for, and why?

This has gone on long enough and this thread was not started for this purpose! It needs to end enough bashing.

I am sure that will give the new team a real positive perspective on expediters. We would be more then happy to talk to them if you want to PM me I will send you back some of our information.

RE: Saving Money By Extending Your Oil Change Inte If every gadget or improvement device came standard on a truck can you imagine the cost of that truck? The manufactures watch their pennies and they sure are not going to put on anything extra they don't have to so their prices can stay...

RE: Saving Money By Extending Your Oil Change Inte We have also just added a bi pass filter to our truck and can all ready see a change in the condition of the oil. We are looking forward to our first oil sample with the bi pass filter. We figure with the cost saving we have with the bi pass...

Joe, That it great great news and good for your family! Enjoy the holidays. I know the day our daughter finally left over there a weight was lifted off of our shoulders. Always in the back of your mind you worry about them being safe.

Phil, Since you don't plan on getting out of expediting you will have to continue to make a truck payment to yourself. The no debt is what motivates us to keep making those truck payments to ourselves so we can pay cash for the next one. We have found that if we stay involved with industry...

In reality I feel as if this is a foolish question. Yes we have paid off our truck but the business decisions stay the same. The former payment goes into the bank to gain interest towards the next truck. We plan to run this truck till it becomes a liability and is getting to the point of being...

Jack stays very busy out in that area as a solo and I think he could right a book on how to expedite in the west and win! We also love to get out there and run the loads up and down the coast and always have a lot of fun and dread the beep that sends us back east. We would actually also...
