Anything is possible. I expanded my operation to go out of state, because in the current economic situation, it's good to have as many tools in your belt as possible. Right now I'm sittin' in Clinton, NJ. Anyone out there?

Or showering..........:p

MTG, Look on the right hand column of the front page of this site. You will see a long list of expedited carriers, large and small who sponsor this site. Each and every one have a brokerage side that sets up small carriers to partner with them in running freight. Most correspond with load...

There ya have it for LTL at the moment. There'll be more tomorrow most likely. The ones with the money listed are generally less likely to negotiate and/or are cheaper than the ones you must call on. The only exception might be a good LTL rate listed in order to move it quick. :)

Saw one out of there yesterday going to Michigan...for a cargo van.

Boy, have I benefitted as well. I was recently going back over some tax info contained in TurboTax. I'm still shocked at how much I had to pay in 2001, compared to 2002 and up. Thank you George Bush for tax cuts. I must be rich as well, because I was one who benefitted from them. Sorry...

Hey Doug. You were never "lambasted" by mods and senior members. You said there and here that you wanted to "discuss" the issues. Is it only discussion if everyone agrees with your view, but lambasting if they don't? You will see many senior members that are protective of this board (as are...

Maybe we should do menberships then and let the users pay for their right to say what they want. $100 per month Bronze membership: Allows moderated posting $250 per month Silver membership: Moderated posting plus 5 inflammatory personal remarks, $500 per month: Gold membership: Unlimited...

True true true. Oh wait, I'm not a mod. And yes, it sounds like you do have issues with authority. Not so unusual, as lots of folks in this great nation do, some for very legitimate reasons. I used to have big issues challenging authority. Then I realized that I was running from the very...

Huh? Wha?

Any thoughts at all? PDA? Smartphone?

Well, I tried this question in the Tech Shop forum, but thought maybe it needed a broader audience. Just wondering if anyone has put the Copilot Truck Mobile edition on a PDA to use as the truck's GPS? It looks like a great idea if the PDA is GPS enabled. I don't want to run it on a smartphone...

You would think that if you had a TSA number, that would be enough.

Just wondering if anyone has put the Copilot Truck Mobile edition on a PDA to use as the truck's GPS? It looks like a great idea if the PDA is GPS enabled. I don't want to run it on a smartphone, as I would need that for other duties. I've been toying w/ this idea as a device to work...

Zanico, There is enough busines to learn out there w/o having to do the thing on your own. I would totally recommend the following route for anyone wanting to get into this business. If each stage meets your expectations, then and only then would be a good time to attempt the next state...

Charles, brings up a great point. Because the bigger carriers sell service according to vehicle sizes and weights, it is the tendency of an o/o to go to the dealer and get whatever fits a particular criteria for a certain carrier. For example, an o/o may say, "How can I set up my truck so it...

I have a three axle, 22ft w/liftgate. Nothin' fancy. Just big ol' class 8 pig runnin' down the road.

Hey, I'm a small carrier as well. It can be a pain, but it works for me. I have the flexibility to take my wife, who is not a driver on our team. She handles my logistics when we go, watching boards, posting trucks, checking directions and such. We also take our dog. No carrier to hassle me...

God bless him.:)

Yes there are some very scrupulous owners to deal with out there. And I know there are some that aren't. Just remember: All contract are NOT created equal. If you need legal advice on a contract next time, then get it. Also I am not normally wary of new owners, but I am if the owner is...
