    Ya gotta understand tho......you are typing to an "elite" expediting crowd here whom really, truly believe their services are golden. Even if the fleet owner were paying ALL expenses the would still DEMAND 40% of gross, and a motel room once a week....prolly. Problem is, most just don't...

    who's happy

    Ohhh twe, me tink, each day you have in this business will seem like a life time to you with this attitude. And, even more so for your spouse it seems. If you tink for even a little bit YOU don't have to service your customer (and if you are a Contractor you have only one), y'all are truly...

I tho wonder when that might be.......seems each day a...

    Tri states ?

    Believe me, you will continue to be amazed (if not awed) daily in this business. Especially, if you take everything you pick at a truck stop as something to put in your tapes. I'm convinced from reading your posts that YOU, do in fact, NOT UNDERSTAND all you know about this business. There is...

    What is the size of the time critical "road" freight market?

    My time sensitive loads have ranged from bout 3 ounces to 31,000 lbs. I drove a quad axle 30 foot straight truck. Time critical freight frequently lands on the spot freight market, as a result of a Broker sticking his neck out and taking a chance to hit the proverbial "Home Run" or, has his...

    Tri states ?

    Yah. Has little to do with WHO asks a question, in fact it is THE question. AND, your obvious lack of knowledge of the players in YOUR industry. Appears to me, you are spending waayyy to much time at the truck stops and not nearly enough time doing something else. This continues to be an...

    About Leaving FedEx Custom Critical

    EOU, yep that is a good one. FEDEX lost it's luster for me in bout 2000. I lingered, like ATeam for a bit like they did, hoping for a glimmer of some kind of fair play. Alas, I had to give em up for reasons that defy explanation as to their foolishness regarding contractors. I went my...
