RE: commission or per mile? Turk: You haven't provided enough information for anyone to give you a decent answer. The names of the companies you are considering would likely produce a response from someone who has experiwncewith the company. Most carriers are now paying a flat, per mile...

I renewed my membership, as I do every year at the Expedite Expo, and support the positive comments of Leo, Danny, Big Joe and my fellow members of the owner/operator community's greatest voice

I've used these sun shades in each of four vans. They are attached to my sidewindows and front windshield. Come in any size need, even motorcoaches. http://www.eclipsesunshades.net/

Thanx for the walk down memory lane. I was born in Boston and spent most of my youth at or near many of the places shown, before they were so comercialized. I was sworn into the USCG when its New England HQ was in the Custom House, the old tower with the clock in the fotos. I spent my first 5...

Perhaps it hurts us collectively if we get poor performers and people with poor business practices into expediting. The customers will refuse to pay premium dollars for poor or inconsistent service. Conversely, the attraction of good business minded people, motivated to provide a value added...

I had Circuit city hardwire into the back of my satready radio. Bestbuy also does it. You'll need a sirius or xm receiver and a connection wire. Should be about $150 total.

Deadhead to loaded miles ratio means nothing. Essentially, figure your total operating costs so when you get a run offer you'll know whether or not to accept it. Let's say you are in Cedar Rapids, IA and a run offer is with P/U in Des Moines, with delivery in Grand River, NE. Your carrier...

How 'bout a trucker knowledge quiz for bragging rights and a plastic trophy. A few questions on everything like hazmat, geography, HOS, logging, GVWR, etc.

As far back as I can remember, I have swipped a Frequent Fueler card and then a Visa card at the Flying J 4 wheeler or R/V pumps. In recent years, the J hsa limited Visa purchases to $50, but that was no problem for me because I could always pump 20 gallons toward a free shower for $50 or less...

For the record, It's inappropriate for some on here to refer to another as an S.O.B. If anyone were to do that it would be deleted by me or another moderator. In that sucbadriver had posted a statement concerning facts as he saw it, I just removed part of his post rather than all of it. I also...

I bought 4 new nitrogen filled Michelins yeaterday at Costco. I take advantage of the lifetime rotate/balance every 10,000 miles or so when I'm idle near a Costco location. For your comparison, I spent a total of $756 for 4, LT245/75R16E, M/S

I have accepted 50 cents to deadhead to an area that the carrier needed the van. I would not, however, accapt a load for 50 cents to travel the same distance to a similar location. Deadheading on the come is one thing, cheap freight is a psychologically unacceptable matter and leads to...

Lawrence overlooked thanking the people who really made Expedite Expo 2007 the great success that it was...all of the great expediters that took the time to deadhead short and great distances to Wilmington, OH. There were dozens of expedite trucks in the huge parking area, ranging in size from...

I slightly edited this post to clean up the language. This is an example of a questionable post where you would be better served by stating that facts as you experienced them and let the reader draw a conclusion based on fact, not emotion.

We'll have to save this one for "Law and Order, Criminal Intent". I'm with Greg on this one. Lacking two aircraft having mechanical failure or a freak weather related incidents at the same monent, one or both of the Helo pilots were violating FAA VFR regulations and one or both of the pilots...

You are correct on the logging issue, but many of these cube vans are under the federally mandated logging capacity of 10001

the foto above looks like it may have been taken from a ballooncam mounted on the giant Expeditersonline balloon over the convention center. The balloon is visible from the highway; can't miss it.

Concur with Highwaystar. Don't know about the big truck pumps, but the auto and R/v pumps yield a 1/2 shower + a 1/2 beverage for each 20 gallons or more for each purchase of gas or diesel. If you link your co-driver's card to yours, you'll get equal credits on that card also. You also get a...

Craig Hannemann AKA Hanceh I'm pleased that you have decided to refrain from posting here any longer. You have not made any positive contributions here and only display a negative, rude and surely attitude while hiding behind an annonymous screen name and phoney profile. You refuse to...
