It's been almost 2 years (how time flies) since we were with C&M. It was in my opinion, the best company we leased on with. The others included, Robert's/Fedex, Panther, and Landstar. Back then they had around 40 units, and outside of maybe Chicago, or Detroit it was unusual to have other...

I went and read the original post, and it does leave me wondering why it was deleted. I can't personaly verify the posters experiences with Panther, but they are right in line with my experience with this company. One person with a bad experience is one thing, but how many people have the same...

Congratulations on the new truck. We test drove one of the Century trucks, and it was wonderful compared to that FL70 we had. What are you going to do with all your spare time, now that you won't be working on the old one all the time? Mark's brother had a class8 truck he was looking for...

Somebody at Landstar must own stock in, or have a relative at HighwayMaster. That is the only reson I can see for them keeping that setup. What would have happened if that driver that was showing up wrong in the system had been the only truck in the area? Would you have had to farm it out...

RE: I Think I Saw The If the wheels aren't turning, they aren't making money. Of course it does help if you have a load in the back, highly unlikely with the company they are running for. ;-)

[link:URL www.expeditersonline.com/2002/March/Road_Issues829.html Check out this truck I would get back into a truck if I could find an owner to buy one for me to drive. Let's be serious though, $250,000 for an expediter truck, and most guys out there can't afford $70,000 trucks. White...

Sorry it didn't work out for you. Times are tough out there, and have been for awhile now. Don't get down on yourself for it not working out, it has happened to others before you (Us), and it will continue to happen. I still think back from time to time, trying to figure out what we could...

Great post Crazy. We had 2 different stints with them. The first time around we ended up in bankruptcy, mostly from what happened while we were with them. The second time we were with an owner who just signed his truck on. It was a slow start (aprox. 5K per month for the fist 2 or 3...

Hey Tony I thought it was a good post...does that count. Have a good one

We got to start somewhere and I got to sign with some company. Why do you have to sign with some company, have you already bought a truck. Economy is bad all over but one can only hope;it will get better. Hope, doesn't sound like a very well thought out business plan. You are saying that...

RE: Thank you for the great info I know how that credit report stuff goes. We have a bunch of wrong info on ours that is preventing us from buying anything. The biggest thing on there is the wrong stuff placed by MBCC (Freightliner) I haven't followed any of your previous posts, but the...

Landstar's system is very different from the rest of them. They give you the opportunity to make your own decisions, it is up to you what you do with them. The key to their system is developing good relationships with the Agents/Brokers, and where the agents pull freight out of. All this...

RE: Whats the Best Expediting Co, In my opinion the best thing for you to do is to run on over to Alumi-Bunk and buy yourslf one of those fancy $100,000++ FL70's. Make sure you set it up to run White Glove for FedEx, because that is where the big bucks are. By all means sign on with FedEx...

What are the old posters up to, since they got out of the business. What field did you get into after expediting. How are things going for you, and are you happier now that you are out. And here is the big one, do you wish you could go back to it?

Hey Weave, that is a nice picture of you }> Looks like you have trimmed your hair a little since I last saw you!!! :7

It started in January of 1999 and ended in June of 2001. What was it? Expediting of course!!!;) To many to chose just one trip, but there is a reoccuring theme, Robert's/Fed-Ex is in just about all of the top 20 of the worst list. x(

Rich, Please don't mention that name. People are actually coming back to this forum, no reason to scare them off again...LOL Last I heard he had been committed so he could get therapy. The last report on him, although unconfirmed, had him cruising around town in his car, with a BUSH/CHENEY...
