Retired driver? You know how to speak the speak to shippers and recievers. Why not do a bit of free lancing with your own DOT number and stay as busy as your ability allows?? Go knock on some doors and test the water?

There ya go folks.....as Dave says, "don't complicate the simple". Course, sometimes it depends on whom is doing the math, however, a flag IS a flag.

Whoa there Dave.....I always figured you didn't want to complicate the simple???

There you go Newb and wanna be Carriers. Cooperate and Graduate is the way, if you choose to be successful. I once had a truck in Laredo, empty. Trans Stewart had a truck oos at the scalehouse North of there, I offered the truck with a liftgate, dock plate and jack to rescue the load at a...

How about precise info of your last 4 "crummy" load offers? Maybe "crummy" ain't so "crummy".

Well, there is the possibility that the "luck" Dragon may be on his head. He may consider some "off the wall, outside the box" load decisions to change the odds. Never know what might work in this biz. One ting for sure......ain't nutt'in fo sure in that biz!

Yes and, our very own eo member and saluted saftey guy for fedup chastized me a few ago for being one of those folks that drive thru a city (on a 3 lane) in the middle lane......cranking me for not getting in the right lane going 5 over. Now, I submit that anyone whome wants to go fast needs to...

"Not enough to have a decent life"????? I'm tink'in being able to eat and live indoors should count for something. EH?

And, one of the biggest fleets!!

There is a really large American Legion there with large quiet parking and good meals.

Ahh yes, after doing their time, newbs become experts. I am kinda wondering tho, knowing what you now know about the biz how severe your musings would be these days IF you had a major financial stake in a fiasco like these mentioned in this post. Good to see you get it.

Ouchee!!! Missie, you are getting brutal with these poor souls that jes need a bit of nurturing. I really, really like this post, we are gathering some new cumrudgens.

Had one like that one time. He was on 60% and buying fuel. I couldn't figgure out why he was not able to make any time. As it turned out.....his policy was to purchase $25 worth each fuel stop....not 25 gallon......$25 worth. Had a stack of fuel receipts a foot tall on a 1000mile run. Could...

180 from what, exactly? When someone types on a site with all these "professional expediters" and sends an SOS like this......ya gotta expect some interesting typing. Also, as I remember a half tank of fuel in a real truck, as you may remember will allow you to run you logbook out for the...

Ahh but, ya got St Paddys day to celebrate with the locals. I can think of way worse spots to be.

Tink'in momarap wuz distracted by her music somehow, steada listening to the hummz, swooshes, bangedy bangs and watching the dash like a driver might. Kinda the preDICKament I would prolly expect from a rap affectionado..........IF I get the sig line. Jes noticed there are over a tousand...

I appreciated Progressive embracing the Expedite segment when I used them. However, it is just like a Carrier or a fleet owner attempting to help a driver out.......you just cannot. There are simply wayyy too many scumbags out there that will discourage folks from nurturing others with any...

Is there ANYTHING you do not understand about a for profit business?? Seems to me, you would be an ideal candidate to start an Insurance Company.

Yes, and eat hearty!! There are NO free lunches. Get your times worth there in free grub if you go, because there will be a cost involved. I see by another post you have a month or so to explore other venues........suggest you do just that!!

Ah well, like many, me tink there are a number of things about freight, types of freight, destinations of freight and did I mention freight that you and many other "expediters" absolutely, positively do not understand about your chosen career path. A lot like the anal, up tight, tink inside...
