    Yes Lawrence, you may have missed one when you said there are always two sides to a story on another thread. Actually, there are three sides. Side 1. Side 2. Facts/truth

    Getting Shafted In Maumee,Ohio

    Well bud, if you have retained the load documents ie. bol etc. for the load you say you hauled, you may have a shot at some of it. the amount in both cases will allow you to visit the small claims court. Best way I know.

    Good Team Truck?

    We utilize both 60" double bunk and 110" double bunk sleepers. For me the 110" is a complete overkill. It is way difficult to keep warm during the winter months (we don't idle) Televisions are nice but i've used mine about 6 times this last year. With a little "cabin disipline" I certainly...

    BEGGARS

    Atta boy neverhome. Help them out but don't offend them. That's a good one. Stereotypeing (sp) is a way of life. Maybe to cut thru the chaff, you should leave your shirt off and ask if they like your tatoos or not before you hook up the chain. Might save you some work. (Heh,Heh) On the...

    CCW and Trucking?

    Maybe, just maybe, if, you have to consider needing to pop a cap in you're travels. You should just stay on the porch.

    How Do You Define Expediting Success?

    Yes, it is the journey not the destination. As you progress the prioritys may be the same just, not in that particular order. Funny what is rewarding as the road gets seemingly more endless and you find new challenges such as a new truck to pay for or maintain.

    The Mother Load's here!

    To all the na-sayers and yea sayers on this thread i'd like to suggest that success in this business is the journey not the destination. Success is a moving target. For the most part the most difficult part of climbing the ladder of success is getting past the fools standing around the bottom...

    handling downtime...

    Actually, it is not if the company understands your need for personal time, or, if your desire for personal time is there. It is in fact, that the freight that needs to move, when it needs to move does not understand (or care) about your need for personal time. That is why we are called expediters.

    Now THIS is bad times....

    It is amazing how a seemingly innocent sidetrip from the required beaten path can end up in disaster. I encourage my folks to get to the delivery and then rest, or, whatever. In your case being at the delivery wouldn't have lessened your affliction, but, at least you wouldn't have had to...

    COE class 8 truck conversion to expedite truck

    Actually, It is an excellent concept. You cannot believe the "things" you can get in a 30 foot van at 103" high. With a 25' wheelbase and tripple air ride it rides like a dream. The storage is secure and when you tip the cab for service, all remains the same. (unless you're trashy) 10-13 MPG...

    Confessions of an Expediter

    Oh yes, it's a mess out there. Cant believe the big trucks that could get 6-7 MPG but, I bet they achieve little more than 4-5. Foolish. A person can hardly stay outa their way. I Travel I-75 at 65 and when I get in the hammer lane to pass, before I can get back in the right lane they've...

    Transfering Loads

    C'mon Rich. There are loads that transfer without the access of dock facilitys. Do you want to be a player or not? Broom must want to be a player, or, he would not be interested in HOW. It is all about the rate for some. Others want to know CAN I GET IT DONE. And that is very good. Believe...
