Sure wish instead of running off a new person looking at this thread you would be helpful with ideas on how to set up a new truck with what you can pack into a car to bring with you. It is much easier if the truck can be brought back to the house to be loaded as you have several chances to...

Could you also remind me how long it has been since you were leased to FedEx Custom Critical? This is expediting loads cancel. No need to "fire" agents.

Remind me again how long you have out of Expediting? We have had two loads cancel just this week with Landstar. Both loads taken with good faith and no money to us for load canceling.

All load boards are speed based that I know of... I like the idea of the load board to get home or to leave home to get to a better area and you can plan it so you know when you will be leaving home and what you are picking up. The idea that a driver can see loads and that they can pick...

Roamin what kind of GPS do you use? We have a Rand McNally and while we save our pickup and delivery locations I had not thought of adding an agent code to the names.

One of the hardest things for us has been learning what agent to call in what area. I have started keeping track this year in Streets & Trip of dropping a pin of where we pickup and adding the agents initials of who gave us the load and the date. Some agents have freight everywhere and...

That was hilarious Lawrence! My gosh that even sounds like fun.

Those darn .50 cent charges add up and I try to think ahead so I get as few of them as possible.

I look at it this way we can pay twice for insurance or we can pay once. Twice meaning paying full price for insurance and pay our taxes which pays for the other half. We have our insurance policy in hand and it is the best insurance we have had since leaving our county jobs. The insurance...
