That was good of her. Now, you being the Company, you can stay anywhere you choose, and, thats good. Bee safe.

Well streakin if you must be upity. I'm at a full blown Holiday Inn at Tewksbury, MA for 37.50. You don't need to be an OOIDA member just call Corporate Lodging Consultants. I prefer Holiday Inn stayed in one in Burbank, CA bout a month ago.

On another note for this subject. I purchased a truck from the classifieds here on 21 sep 06. Double bunk Condo, Generator, liftgate for 14K. This morning I delivered in Boston and the truck was paid for during this run. Now, my time wasn't worth anything during this month, but, imagine what...

RE: Broom made a response about what your time is The main reason new start up business fail, is because the business owner places way too much value on their time. I will suggest that a business owners time is not worth anything. Making assets pay off should be the goal rather than setting...

JACOB: It is certainly slimm out there. Unfortunately, way too many of the "experienced folks" have been hosed, either by an owner or, a Carrier. This presents an attitude of "ya this is just another sham" and they don't do well, even given a grand opportunity. Takes them too long to figgure...

Interesting question. I feel to some extent it's the introductory process. From the Expediter Workshops to Recruiting. I sat in on a workshop one time. Before we got half thru it (if I hadn't had ten years in this business at that time) i'd a said "where do I sign up for this gravey train"...

80% inservice means roughly you are working a bit over a 5 day week. Not too bad doing 200K. Not sure what you expect with that kind of effort. The wrong times off really will kill the revenue. 365 X .8 = 292 days, 292 devided by 52 = 5.6 Amazing how those down days kill you, then throw in...

Interestingly the original question, or, run in question (if factual) involved fifteen bucks. I for one would not chance having to sit (even for a couple more hours) for fifteen bucks. It just don't seem natural that someone would do that to themselves, then wunder wha happ'in.

Fuel Surcharge the nastiest thing that's been figgured out lately. Bout like paying our farmers not to grow crops. Seems all it does is confuse the issue of pay per mile. I feel your real issue should be the freight rate not the FSC offered. Why in the world didn't you type the freight rate...

What I think is - an fsc is to help off-set the price of fuel. NOT PAY FOR IT!! You are running a van I presume, and your fuel cost should be somewhere ten cent per mile. If, nine cent per mile, or, 90% of your fuel cost is not enough i'd probably hold out for gett'in double my fuel paid for...

T: Contrary to what these Expedite Contractors are typing to you, there is a nitch market for that type of truck. And they stay very busy. Most, depending whom they work for will see little if any benefit for the expense. We utilize 26-30 foot van bodys and curtainsides. Some with split...

I'm certain that there have been players in this environment that we are not aware of. You really don't have to be and Expediter{sic} to have pulled someones fat outa the fire. Also there always will be new and better players with a better mouse trap. With regard to those that align...

It's not even just the non-english speaking folks. I personnaly am appaled at the people that knock on my door to haul freight. Many with a number of YEARS in this profession, (expediting) that have not been a student of their chosen profession, (truck driving). Many have absolutely no idea...

I've read post from the bum for the last few months. I,m not sure any amount of nurturing will be successful. can't help it. It's dat Beltway Bandit Mentality dat ya got dere.

BINGO FOLKS. Maybe, just maybe, sucessess for all things follow a contest of some kind. Maybe not!! Maybe lessons learned in a contest (shooting darts, winning a inservise contest for a trucking company) may qualify , for education, of some kind. I really feel you last two posters didn't...

You know folks, I have read many, many different excuses why many people were not able to excell, or, for that matter merely succeed. Now, one poster is even adding another crutch that justifies mediocrity. "Because of where they lived"???? It is certainly common knowledge that if it is not a...

I don't know that i'd call it expediter evolution exactly. But would certainly make arrangements for change, like use a chalk board or something. For most don't evolve much, just wake up in a different world everyday- kinda like the gooses.

Hey dreamer, I don't think this was an explosion, it's one of them things, whatcha call it - an emplosion or sumpin.

I'm just kinda wonder'in how many load you guys might have turned down during thos three weeks you didn't make any money. Really, i'm just wonder'in what the rest of the story is. You been with two carriers already, how long you been in the business?? Do you have toy trucks, campers or, money...

I KNOW we are not moving freight for pennies on the $$.
