That's ok, Charles. A lot of them don't even know what they are posting anyways. People who are used to loading flatbeds post everything a a flat. People who load vans, post all for a van. A lot of them don't even know why they push certain buttons. I was posted in Columbia, SC on Tuesday...

Hotshot is actually an old word that is generally interchangeable with expedite. When Panther calls me, it's an expedited load. When an airfreight forwarder like Pilot or Team Worldwide calls, they need a "Hotshot." Currently, hotshotting is getting a newer use as the pickup and gooseneck...

C'mon Charles. Why'd ya have to go that way. You know that once the Fed dumps their CC division into my company and T-state merges, you're going to have a lot of competition. Better hire some new recruiters to drop some innocent "spam" ads onto the EO forum. Oh, and fire up and extra coffee...

a Mercedes auto shift? Or is this an Eaton 3 pedal autoshift. I have a 10 speed autoshift.

I'm sittin' at home in Orlando today. Fay's raining on my parade. It looks as though she will be for a few days. I wanted to stick around with the family till the initial passing. I did a good day run yeaterday down to Pompano beach for a nice chunk of change. I'll get outs here again in...

Ok Moose, I'm not following you quite. Are you saying that blanketing a load is just driver duty or that one should be compensated for the extra service requirement?

There are some very good carriers with ten trucks or less around. As you know with a small carrier, everyone knows you by name, not just by truck number. Also, a smaller carrier generlly will be looking not just to cover their customers, but cover your truck as well.

I've got 800K on mine, but then again it is a Cat C-10. I expect at least a mil plus of mine. Of course, mine doesn't have to work near as hard as the one Ice has, being that it's a straight and not an E.

If it gets to Tennessee, it will be there by Thursday. By then it should just be a bunch of rain without the winds.

Any of you folks stuck down in FL right now with the storm coming in?

Separate topic, but I really don't see the Japanese products as being at fault. Probably more the fault of the American auto makers not listening to the what the public wants and/or manufacturing an inferior machine. Ford Taurus. Need I say more? Money is money. These days it's all...

I am with a company of fewer than ten trucks: MINE! One truck and one O/O in the truck. Tennesseahawk, dhalltoyo, CharlesD, KWExpress (and the Col. formerly) all have carriers of a smaller size. Sorry if I left anyone out. It was more for example than anything. As far as non company owners...

Ok. Let's here from some contractors representing different carriers. You have a call for a load of xxx miles, requiring a straight truck of such and such a size minimum. Requirements include: -12 straps, and -50 blankets. Would you consider that qualifying for hand load pay?

Greg, I would have to agree with you on this: As a small carrier, my favorite of the "big boys" I have dealt with thus far has been Landstar. Very professional.

Sounds like you've been misinformed about what the Alliance is. While there are Allaince carriers who book NLM freight, it is really a small part of what happens on GPS. The Alliance is a cooperation of small carriers that are able to accomplish customer coverage on a peer level that the big...

With all of your talk about GPSnet, I take it that you're an Alliance member as well.

Are you a carrier, csands007?

Look at your contract. It will tell you in the TOS. But I'm sure what you really want to know is if some ELSE allows it.

Yeah, I know. I saw one in the Fedex photo at Kinkos, but I just figured it was Photoshopped. Fedex has never really marketed CC in any of their ads. As far as day cabs go, the name of the game is supplying what your customer needs, when he needs it. If LG has an account with CC and needs a...

I saw a day cad tractor for CC sitting in front of Ryder in Orlando at one time. It was probably supplied just to move around trailer drops.
