    Shocking Update

    To ALL the O/O out there:: I wonder what else has been neglected on that truck??? It really DOES pay to read that "little" book named the Owners Manual, at least once.

    Check Out who is on the Un-Insured Lists That Barry Don't want you to know

    Not zackly a newsflash but in the case of illegals, guess they wouldn't git fixed at home they shouldn't here either. Immagine i'll get piled on by the entitlement croud here but, can't really see why the rest that don't wanna provide when they shurely can for themselves should git fixed...

    Load weight for Vans

    I've been told the way to make money with a van is to 'load em like a freight train an drive em like you stole em". Dunno?? But I agree with Moot "Ban da van".

    I need help

    Big John, for what it's worth to ya trying to help many of em out there is in fact an attempt at futility. Over the years i've seen the wrong people with the wrong reasons enter this biz. Many are past the point of no return before they go on the road, and their bad news don't get better with...

    $1500 a Month??

    I guess I can't follow the logic of turning back a good qualified team that actually "wants" to work hands free, steada nurse maiding a couple dogs. Musta been other discriminating factors. Those of you that keep pets with you on the road must have waayy more time on your hands...

    Confused

    It's easy to git confused there pj. Kinda like the chicken, egg thingy. There are many success storys, but, it seems many more failure storys. Many enter here with appetites way too large (drivers and fleet owners) for where they are at in life when entering the biz. They developed their...

    Ceva Logistics

    If keeping equipment and freight on par with one anuther is a goal of the company, then....i'd hope the contractors are intelligent enough to keep the dock cleared of freight. If not there'll be whining soon of toooo many trucks, again i'd imagine. Seems to me that with contractors hanging...

    Ceva Logistics

    ceva has been a fairly big player in 3pl for quite a while now. Chances are, many of you have run their freight for your company and didn't know it. They prolly got tired of the layers it took to git something done, or seen this as a way of maximizing profit in the downturn. Easy is'nt always...

    Poor bidding practices?

    Charlee, i'll suggest it'll be the ones who are moving "enough" freight at an acceptable rate. It will be the ones still running down the road with 2-3 buks a mile. Chances are it won't be the ones with no pain toy trucks, no pain git a few skids at one stop an run, and no pain wait for the...

    Odd ST configuration

    Best I can answer is... the sales people attempt to put together an economy unit. Taller, wider, longer, heavier truck, more axles costs money. Also they and the prospect have been sold a bill of goods for years bout expediting, go git 3-4 skids an go down the road. Too many "don't wanna"...

    It's Time To Be Reliable.

    Well now, being on the road extensively, sleeping (in your expensive) equipment in cold weather is not what I call any kind of sacrafice, It comes with the package. If those issues cause you to think "premium" then...... Whom held a gun to your head that caused you to spend "high dollah"...
