We have a good number of company tractors and alot of trailers. We only have a limited number of company owned expedite units. I was not aware that Express-1 had any assets.

We pay for the loaded liability and the cargo insurance. The contractor has to pay for bobtail and physical damage insurance for his truck. We offer discounted programs directly thru settlement deduction for this. Liability is the most expensive of all of the coverages. Most carriers who pay...

I agree. You should check with the carrier first. Many times the age of the box can be more important than the age of the unit. We like to keep newer units in the fleet for example. But we do not put a hard fast rule on it. I have seen newer units that are not maintained and are unreliable...

The owners are really good people. They offer really good service and we do alot of freight back and forth with them.

Dave and Greg, you are both correct. We are all guilty of under utilization of technology we already have. For instance I am guessing we all use microsoft exel. Although I think I am "pretty" good with it, I probably truly use 10% of the functionality at best. I really enjoy golf, although I...

I am hopeful it will be a better year. I think the first quarter will start off slowly like it traditionally does. I am hopeful by March we will see freight volume climb back into the same area it was in the fourth quarter of 2009. I agree with others on here that the herd will be thinned. I...

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped out with our Toys for Tots program this year. Once again we were a corporate sponsor of the program. With the help of our drivers, owner operators, customers, staff and outside owner operators we were able to gather 100's of toys and it was...

Give Angie or Vince a call at our place, 800 506 4422. I am sure that we can get you set up with a good owner or possibly a company truck. Either way good luck, and it is nice to see people post the good things. Too often it is always the bad.

Anyone needs help around the Detroit area feel free to drop my a private message.

That is totally cool. People are starting to forget what we are fighting to protect....our way of life.

While I am not a recruiter, I am always more than happy to answer any private messages or posts on our company. I am also more than willing to try and answer any questions on expediting or the industry that I can.

It depends on your home state and the domicile of your carrier. State laws vary from state to state. You are probably smart to have work comp or occupational accident insurance either way. As an independent contractor you are generally your only source of income. Covering medical bills is...

Bottom line is changing carriers costs time and time is money. Do your homework!!!! Jumping from carrier to carrier will never make you more money. Look for long term relationships. The good carriers are all relatively competitive. Many times it comes down to relationship and a feeling of...

Dave is entirely correct!!!! It really comes down to the owner operator fully understanding the lease agreement before they sign on with a carrier. "quick pay" option normally always comes at a price. It is the same for a carrier. It is basically the same as the carrier "factoring" thier...
