RE: About idling!! How to keep down the cost of id If you plan on using a cooking stove to stay comfortable, you'd better have a really good carbon monoxide detector or you'll not know discomfort for an eternity. For starters, you might consider adding some good insulation to the walls and...

RE: Load Transfer 486 Praticle 132 DH for less tha Not sure about the cryptic reference to the folks in your post, but the allusion to the run refusal prompts me to talk about the other side of the coin. You seem to be annoyed that dispatch would have the gall to offer you such a low paying...

Once again, the Knoxville Expedite Workshop had at least one success story. A middle aged professional man with a desire to change his direction in life has been lurking on the Forum while considering expediting as a possibility. He came to the EO Workshop to listen to the speakers, and talk...

RE: I need massive feedback from long-time cargo v Terry O'Connell's 2006 Chevy 3500 has been driven 71,000 miles since May 2006. His last 2000 Chevy 3500 van was sold at 557,000 miles to another expediter who now has well over 600,000 miles on the original 5.7l engine.

RE: I need massive feedback from long-time cargo v Another excellent 2 point post from TURTLE. His simple succinct comments told it like it is and, from my observations, BLIZZARD'S gross earnings goal is achievable. I can't vouch for the cubed E-450 as the optimum B unit for Blizzard's net...

Cargo van owners and aspiring owners are finding that most of the larger carriers are flush with vans, nowadays. I’d guess that Panther is as good a company as any to keep your vans moving and requiring minimal deadhead to do so. A smaller carrier may give your vans greater revenue per...

Skivvy tip: fold T-shirt left to middle, then right to middle, lengthwise; fold shorts and place atop bottom of T-shirt; place socks atop shorts and then roll up into a neat package. You'll always have enough of everything when headed to the shower.

Trust but verify...Sounds familiar.

When Rene' and I started expediting we were concerned about all the problems that JUSTUSTRUCKING mentioned. In the beginning, we considered selling the house and using a hotel on weekends or for at-home periods. That would have been cheaper than our mortgage. We didn't sell; however, we took...

Greg: Thanx, but I 'spect it would be a problem. FedEx Ground contractors procure all their fuel on the same acounting system that provides their compensation. They buy all their fuel at the $1.25 price and never worry about the FSC variables. There is very little, if any, personal use of...

If you'll allow me a bit of devil's advocacy here, I'll offer a comment that our carrier might offer if they posted here. Each of the FedEx operating companies(OPCO)are separate and distinct from the other. Although there is some cross pollination when it comes to providing a product tailored...

My interpretation of Independent Contractor is simply that we are independant from the carrier and not on their roles as an employee. Employees are fired; contractors' carriers terminate contracts due to dissatisfaction with the performance of the contractor. Conversely, contractors terminate...
