I've been researching expediting for a quite some time, only recently started posting here. When I think of expediting, I think emergency freight, time sensitive or "they need this load there yesterday" freight. A common theme during my research has been the subject of speed. Yet if you really...

For those who do home canning, there are many alternatives to "road grub". Once, sometimes twice a year, I will make a LARGE pot of turkey chili. Pressure can it and use it to make "taco" salads. It is a better alternative to taco salad on the road, just prepare a salad, warm up some chili and...

Thanks for the clarification. That's kind of what I figured, based on all the great info here on EO.

Thanks Lawrence. I'm still researching at the moment. As an O/O for 20+ years, it's going to be a different world driving for a fleet owner. Although I guess it will be good for the fleet owner since I am already in the habit of taking care of equipment and watching the margins.

Can we apply that math to trucking rates? 400 miles x $2.00/mile = $4000:D

Not posted...and you wouldn't want it anyway. Linehaul is $3000 from Dayton,OH to PC, FL

So...it is...just eat a cup:eek:

Ok Simpsonville Ky today Dayton tomorrow

WOW!! I could never come close to that number...maybe 10 at the most...usually just 4-6

We had contests to see who could eat the most! But I guess you did too, to get the empty boxes:D

I know they have truck parking between them and the motel
