If you're able to make it work, more power to ya. Not for me--would be too much like trying to keep 2 steady girlfriends. At some point I'd screw up and call one by the wrong name.:o Or in this case forget to go out of service when applicable. I would think that it'd bother the dispatchers...

I'd head home if I was within an hour any day of the week. Fridays and Saturday I'd extend it out to an hour and a half to two hours.

I have heard them referred to as a "carrier's carrier." They don't handle NLM or PTM loads, but I believe they are setup with the GPS alliance. I've heard that a lot of carriers broker loads to them. I've never known anyone that drove for them.

Read through some of the old posts out here. Most expedite companies use owner operators. If you don't currently own your own truck, you should be able to find a good deal on a newer used one. Talk to recruiters, but more importantly--try to talk to drivers for that company. Everyone's...

Not a Lions fan, but glad they finally broke the streak. Let the return to mediocrity begin!

99 bottles of beer on the wall.....yeah, that'll get old quick. I'll guess you're going through the plains states.

The U.P. is looking pretty sparse too. I think Escanaba has one. The Beef a Roo looks like a bigger chain there.

It's not just you.

My wife, like many folks, is part native american (1/8 Delaware and 1/16 Cherokee). Whenever her family talks about Indians, it's either "with a dot" or "with a feather" for clarification. I get sick of the race card getting played. Can't we all just hate him cuz he's from Chicago and...

Was out fishing yesterday evening--just your standard bobber and crawler. My bobber went down fast and I pulled back. Thought I had a monster fish on the line--turned out to be a muskrat!:eek: When I got it up close enough to determine that's what it was (6-8feet away); the line broke...

The ones they have right over the bridge there for the tourists are garbage---I'd take a pot pie over those ones. I've gotten good ones further in at local diners. It's been a couple of years, but there was a place outside Munising that has good ones.

I came across a logistics company today out of Chicago called Echo. On their website, it states that they do expedite and that they will deal with individual owner-operators. Ever heard of em? Echo Global Logistics

Pasties---just can't get good ones around here. My Grandma was from overto Wakefield and made da best ones. She used Rutabagas instead of potatoes and usually mixed in venison and ground pork sausage. Definitely no gravy---gotta have the catsup though.

Could be----I talked to someone over there and was told that, but it was before Landstar bought them out. Could be a different story now.

I think you're right OVM. Alll Cash4Clunkers will have done is gotten people to move up their timeline on that new car purchase. Essentially, borrowing from the sales of the next few months. Still---it's nice to see some uptick in volume, however short lived it might be.

Not really any surprise is it? From USA Today Comparing presidents Obama will have done 124 print, broadcast and radio interviews by day's end on Sunday, according to a tally by Martha Joynt Kumar, a political scientist at Towson University in Maryland. George W. Bush did 40 and Bill...

They won't deal with an individual driver--ya have to be signed on with a carrier that has at least 10 to 15 trucks.

At the rate we're going, our economy will be on par with our southern neighbors in no time. Soon you may hear them complaining about Americans sneaking across the border. Maybe that's why they want to scrap the fence!

LOL Must have been a local channel, eh Greg? Try picking up one of the Toledo stations! Harper would make a better President than Obama, but then again, so would a host of other people that were born right here.
