Lesson #1: Never ask a truck dealer how much money you might earn driving a truck that they want to sell. Lesson #2: If you flunk lesson #1, ignore any earnings advice you've received from a truck salesman. Welcome to EO. stay tuned for responses to your questions and review some of the...

RE: How do you turn off the QC after turning off t Your QC can be programmed to shut down at any time frame. Many folks start out at either four hours or 30 minutes, or so. Mine is set for ten hours, but I have it connected to two auxiliary batteries, isolated from the van's starting battery...

I trust no one will use our avitar. If you need help after trying the above tips, try asking Dreamer to help you import your personal avitar. He's away from the office for awhile but will return soon.

For the new folks on the EO forum, here's a little background on a reason to thank Lawrence, his family and staff for the work they have undertaken to bring sponsors, carriers, owner/operators and drivers to the same table. These are the words on a certificate he received at the 2006 Expedite...

David. I always carry a bottle of Baby Powder in the van for quieting a squeeky belt. I've cured many squeeky belts at fuel islands with one complementary squirt of powder on a moving fan belt. works every time.

We have an acquaintance who has several DR trucks. He believes he has solved the IC/employee problem by only hiring corporations to operate his trucks. He does not just lease drivers, he leases teams who have incorporated themselves and are employees of their respective corporations, not the...

You seem to be between a rock and a hard place. Experienced FedEx Custom Critical White Glove folks earn some of the best money in the business. Note that I said experienced and you may be faced with a lot of negative experience if the owner or his representative is not available to help you...

Moot is probably right. We were demonstrating that we don't need U, the Brits, that is.

The situation is hardly hypothetical. I required hospitalization while loaded enroute and was unable to finish the load. RichM had the same thing occur while enroute loaded on the last run of his expedite career. In each instance it was necessary to transfer the load. It is not beyond the...

Check with a recruiter from either Panther or FedEx Custom Critical; each of these carriers has a program for placing drivers with truck owners. Other carriers may also do this. Also check the EO free classifieds for driver opportunities.

Welcome back to the mainstream Jeff. We suspect you'll be a fixture at the next expo and an occasional workshop.

I bought one like it a year ago at Wal-Mart. $10, as I recall. Best Buy has a few of them as does Circuit City.

JW60 You are undoubtedly correct in stating, "Some of the most successful owners in the business never use contracts." I think that "some" is a small minority. A very large chunk of the majority of Owners and Drivers that operated without written contracts, eventually faced disagreements that...

Thanx to all for remembering and commenting on this Veterans Day. Cheri and others: the Christmas card, or any other card addressed as requested will not be delivered unless a service members name is included. It's a policy of the DoD not to do so because the content may be questionable. It...

The operative words are Fuel Surcharge. We weren't get FSC in '03. Our carrier currently gives us a FSC on every loaded and authorized deadhead mile. At 12 cents per mile, that equals at least $1.80 for every cargo van that gets 15 mpg or better. The FSC is designed to bring the effective...
