    Truckers UNwelcome

    Sounds like a kid working the parents. First the front desk clerk, then a cafe employee. Maybe try THE manager, or, ring Oscar hisselfs bell. Probably been a different outcome. Don't pay to deal with the worker bees.

    Probably is the reason he's typing that. He's been there done that, and see'd the error in his ways. I'd suggest he is authorized to comment.

    coe expediter anyone?

    Dunno to the precise inch. Don't matter much, all thats behind the seats is lots of storage, a closet, a place for TV, fridge, two large bunks. All I know there is way more room than I could ever use. Seats swivel, so you can use about a hunnerd of the hunnerd ten. The flat floor is what...

    That is precisely the way to do it Charles, in an RV. But, before you get there, it dosen't matter if you are dependent or independent, you will only be able to haul what your equipment will provide for service. If, you run onto an inexperienced truck orderer, or dispatcher you are outa luck...

    A wave of new Expediters?

    Yes, it's that "home" thing again. Just think what being "barn sour" costs the current expediters everyday. Many will consider this a "home based" business, and get a real fool'in, steada taking their skills and a suitcase, and get a real job. Somewhere. Can't imagine why someone would...

    Unfrickinbelivable

    I guess i'd have to have an example of what is considered a freebe load. I am not a contractor soooo.. But to my way of thinking, say a load pays(for easy math) $1.20 cpm. You will have about $.40 for fuel and IF your other costs equal that you have $.80 total invested. Leaves $.40 cpm for...
