    Evolution or Revolution

    I'm not sure how more companys "springing up" equates to "cheap freight". We have been providing a "value added service" now for several years. Our customer don't have to play telephone tag with dispatchers and others to get "real time info" they can talk directly with the driver. After all...

    ARE MY FIGURES RIGHT??

    If, that $75,000 revenue figure is in fact your "goal", then your numbers are probably correct. A couple grand net. Obviously, after you've cracked the nut, any "goal" increase would certainly improve the net picture. If, you simply want to see the country, then do it from the window of a...

    This Speaks for Itself

    I've all but quit hauling parts to the big three, because I didn't care for busting my ##### all night to get freight there, then having to wrestle some ##### hole's coffee and donut and newspaper away from him and chase him/her to the forklift to unload me.. I resisted buying a "foreign" car...

    What ever happened to common courtesy????

    There isn't any common courtesy anymore. I'm with you, when it's 70 sunny or otherwise there is absolutely no reason to idle a truck. If you need to run a truck to keep batteries charged then I suggest you add to or replace them. Or, whatever other reason you have to idle under those weather...

    Need help from the seniors of expedite...

    Precisely. The Charlotte's, Chicago's, Atlanta's are not "good spots" every day of the year. Also, the middle of Montana or Kansas etc. are not "bad spots" every day of the year. You need to operate equipment that will handle every bit of freight that comes available, each time it comes...
