Hobo: Why would you recommend a company as being the best without giving any reason for thinking such a thing? Furthermore, why badmouth a company because of rumors that you say you are "Not sure how true that is"? FedEx Custom Critical, like every other expedite carrier, has areas in the...

We've been shown that arrow many dozen times since it was nationally televised on 60 minutes. We were once in a Waffle House and a man came up to us and asked if he could take his wife over to the van to show her the arrow; it's tough to see if you don't look beyond the letters. Have you seen...

A while back, I had the opportunity to speak to FedEx Custom Critical President Jack Piccard and asked him the same question about the Custom Critical/Kinko color scheme similarity. His reply was rather simple. When kinky haired Paul Orfalea sold Kinkos to FedEx he chose the same blue color...

TG Cheri might be the best person here to give you a bit of mentorship as she's currently a Panther van operator with the experience to help you along. As you've undoubtedly read in the forum, a typical driver will receive 60% of the gross to the truck so your initial goal of $30K would result...

If Captain America said it, it must be gospel and you can take that to the bank.

During our last outing, Rene' and I heard from "knowledgable drivers who had reliable sources" that some acquisitions would soon be announced. These included: FedEx has bought Werner FedEx is buying Express-1 FedEx is buying TriState TriState is buying Bolt UPS is buying Panther Panther is...

We Americans sure have a healthcare system at which few, if any other, Countries would marvel. But, there is no better healthcare anywhere in the world than in the US of A. People come to the United States for any number of reasons. Those that come here, from any Nation, should adopt the...

I concur. If we were to knowingly house or employ an unprosecuted thief, rappist or murderer, we'd be subject to prosecution for aiding and abetting a criminal. If we were to knowingly house or employ an unprosecuted illegal alien in Hazelton, PA, we'd be subject to litigation by the ACLU.

No K-bar, particularly when attached to a rifle. Got a Louisville Slugger? Best to also have a ball and glove otherwise it might be considered a weapon. A sawed-off Louisville Slugger would be a good tire thumper, but not in a van.

Broom: The melted water will be the same, at 32+ degrees, in each cup. If the water was any colder it would be ice again.

A 40% load acceptance rate is indicative of a 60% unacceptable offer rate. High unacceptable offer rates are not necessarily indicative of Cherry pickin'. We have a rather low acceptance rate at this time of year and have turned down several well paying runs, three in excess of $800; we've also...

RE: Safety records, authority of trucking companie Chuckwagon: There is no shortage of disrespect, in these fora, for those owners who fail to abide by their agreement to pay their drivers for services rendered. Any driver who allows more than one pay period to pass without due compensation...

Read the Forum; ask questions, get answers; attend a FREE Expedite workshop, as seen on our homepage, and with a bit of free mentorship from an EO member or any number of future EO members, you'll have saved $159 and gotten a priceless experience.

Charlotte to Laredo this past Sunday. Two relaxing days with some good folks from Panther and Diamond then a good payer from Eagle Pass to Tyler, TX, followed 8 hrs later by a load to Akron, OH. We sure hope this is not an anomaly but an indicator that things are picking up; time will tell

RE: Please welcome our newest Moderator.. Highway Kim: Rene' and I enjoyed the brief breakfast this morning with you and Cherri at the Indy J. Consider yourself duly initiated into the Mod Squad.

Linder. Just send us a gift card; you don't need to wrap it.

Interesting comment. I haven't seen any plans for the 4 acre memorial but I have wondered if there will be an religious sybolism at the memorial that won't be attacked by the ACLU, et al.

Vinnie: Your question deserves a two part answer. An Owner/Driver leased to a carrier is either paid a percentage of the gross tariff or a milage rate. Milage compensation differs from carrier to carrier, as some pay deadhead, some pay partial deadhead, some pay no deadhead. Some carriers...
