    Hello Everyone

    Owensexp Welcome to EO! I have to agree 100% with DaveKC. Running a cargo van on your own is very, very difficult. You have to wear the hat of salesman, dispatcher, operations, safety manager, customer service and most importantly - accounts receivable....and collections. Plus you are the...

    Landstar

    TJ959, Landstar Express America has an outstanding record in this industry. They seem to be very owner operator oriented. But like anything - they are not for everyone, do your homework. May I suggest that you plan to spend a day or two at the Expedite Expo 2004 in Woodhaven, MI? Register...

    Cats on the road

    RE: What about the monkey people, eh? I'm surprised no one has talked about the infamous "Monkey People". This monkey lived in this couple's van. For fun this monkey would dig in it's diaper and sling crap at the first unsuspecting expediter who stuck his head in their window and would say "...

    Is it really that slow out there?

    TJ959, As Terry and DaveKC mentioned - the Expo is the only time that you will have EVERY MAJOR expedited carrier under one roof (Ok, Big Tent) at once. Yup, we even beat out Mid-America on this one. Plan to spend both days - talk to each one. Have a list of goals for your business, miles &...

    Expedite Now Magazine

    carstea, Thanks for those kind words! We are working hard on the next issue which will come out the same time as our Expedite Expo 2004 in August. Just a note to anyone who would be willing to help... We still have some extra copys of the magazine and would love to send them to anyone who...

    Is it really that slow out there?

    Oldtimer, Seems to me that your playing with fire. One of two things will happen to someone who runs a ghost-driver: 1. They will get caught, lose their contract and have a bad record in DAC. (kiss your driving career goodbye) 2. They will get in a wreck and cause injury to themselves or to...

    Straight Truck versus Tractor Trailer?

    I agree with DaveKC. In this business it's all about opportunities. The more you have the more you make. Not to mention when slow times come all the general freight you can haul - just to make it back to an expediting area. However, I don't think it would be worth it - without a co-driver...

    PAY ATTENTION.

    OVM is correct in this matter...Canadians are in active combat in Afghanistan and yes they are also being killed in combat. You NEVER see or hear that on TV. http://www.collectionscanada.ca/04/042403/images/flag.jpg Lawrence, Expediters Online.com -----------------------------------------...

    Discounts

    Without a doubt the Flying J has the best fuel program for smaller units. However, they don't accept Comdata. :( :( Lawrence, Expediters Online.com ----------------------------------------- Thanks For Visiting EO! http://www.expeditersonline.com/hotnews/sterling_eo_forum.jpg Please...

    C & M Transport

    You can use this as a rule of thumb. If it is a expedited carrier - they do go to Canada. Now, the question may be "will they qualify you and not require you to accept Canadian bound loads." Lawrence, Expediters Online.com ----------------------------------------- Thanks For Visiting EO...

    Went Window Shopping

    OVM, I accidentally removed your last post. Please repost it. My apologies! I actually was going to respond to your post and let you know that Unicell has notified us that they are no longer interested in configuring their units for expediting use. Strange. I asked them if there was a demand...
