RE: I probably should have a little more info on the specifics of this double bubble try. But here goes my thoughts. First. Doubles are (in the expedite business) very difficult to make work, and, as such few and far between. I can't believe you brought one back!!!!!! Just because the place...

Somewhere on this site I read a post from a driver that was observing other expediter trucks that were traveling. Can't remember for sure how it went. But, it was something like this. He noticed 1 Panther, 2 tri-state, 1 fedex and 6 or 8 ma and pa. Lemme see 1+2+1=4 for the big guys. And...

I use IFS.net to find freight once in a while. It is usually pretty cheesey, no, really cheesey priced freight. But if you can put a couple or three partials together, you can get towards that buck and a quarter or better a mile. What kind of freight are you finding on that truckstop site?

Well y'all this is an interesting subject. To go it alone, or, not. Tony evidently feels he is the only one that has gone around the crap house a couple of times. He is not sure if there is anyone that has been around that same crap house twenty or thirty times - but, he is learning. I would...

After driving a farmall 4900 for 600,000 miles in the expedite business, I figgured it was time to treat myself. I located a 330 Pete, used, 30,000 miles, ISC cummins, 9 speed. It had been set up with the drive, way under the 22ft box. No problem, I had wanted to be a little big truck driver...

Rates are the same as how you price a widget, if you are manufacturing one. Cost, plus whatever you want to make. If'n you is too cheap, you'll be real busy. If'n you is to expensive, they'll let you know.

There is really nothing else to "watch out" for as far as TPS freight is concernd, except the revenue offered. It is usually deeply discounted to the truck. After DH it'll pay you sixty to ninety cents If you can haul freight for that going anywhere but home, more power to you.

I've subscribed to Expedite Loads for about a 10 months now. Have been successful with them for about $10,000 in revenue. Was posted on the trucks available site over fathers day weekend, and, evidently was the only one willing to run. The result was four good loads from that one call from a...

After delivery of my out-bound load, I fax my location and equipment type to numerous companys (expedite and otherwise). If they need equipment in that area, they WILL call you. I also have accumulated a fairly lengthy list of manufacturers and regional trucking companys over the years, that I...

RE:What's TPS??? Lemme take a whack at splain'in TPS (Third Party Services) Lets say someone at TPS (another tenacle of FEDEX) finds a good paying load ($2.00 per mile). He/she immediately rat-holes 25% - fitty cent, then passes that load onto dispatchers for Auto-Quick or FECC. Those folks...

My experience with the DT466 has been positive. I use the mechanical type rated at 250hp. Plenty when fresh. After a few miles, 400,000+, you need to drive it, and not aim it, when in the hills. Still, will have plenty to manage any east of the Mississippi, with relative ease. Plenty capable...

Crown Royal???? Who are you leased to??? I need to get on that bandwaggon!!!!!!
