My carrier asked me to apply for a FAST card, so I did. Just wondering how long it takes....

Paid $20 for a month of PFJ internet the other day; it's terrible! Service is weak when it works, which it usually doesn't, and when I complained, I was told that no refund is possible. Gonna take it up with my bank; maybe a backcharge will get the attention of the hacks in Knocksville :p

Anyone know where to get these on the road? I could have them sent home, of course, but it would be handy if I could get them now :) Sent from my XT1028 using EO Forums mobile app

As we mourn for our good friend Letzrockexpress, it occurs to me: What happens when a driver dies or becomes seriously incapacitated on the road? Who will help the family with the various logistical challenges? Not only must the driver, or his/her body be returned home, their truck needs to be...

I don't want to go into details, but unfortunately my wife and I may have to, shall we say, change residence. As an expediter, are there states that are especially advantageous to relocate to? I love PA, and may simply move to the cheaper western side of the state, but I have also considered...

Once in a while we expediters (especially us lowly vanners) find ourselves at a motel front desk, exchanging credit card for room card. This happens when the truck falls ill, is full of freight or simply to give ourselves the luxury of being able to stretch out a little bit. This thread is for...

I spoke to the president of one of my carriers today ( I run for two ), and we discussed the slowdown in van freight. One very interesting thing he shared with me is that one person or firm has started 650 (yes, 650!!) new carriers just recently. This leads to several questions, one of which...

Did a run yesterday. The paid mileage matched my GPS's estimate, and the route suggested involved the PA & NJ Turnpikes, and the GWB. Add 'em together, over $25 for a lowly cargo van. Can't afford that luxury right now, so I took another route. Ended up paying $5 for the Tappan Zee and $1 to...

News Release - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Amazing lack of regard for safety of passengers and public gets a Massachusetts bus company shut down. Good to see we're getting SOMETHING for our tax dollars :)

OK, so I'm finally gonna hit the road soon, on a part-time basis to start while I wean myself off my NYC gig. Don't ask for whom yet, 'cos it's not cast in stone. Which leads to my question: What kind of due diligence should an owner/operator, especially a n00b, do when choosing a company to...

9:07PM EDT November 2. 2012 - MONTCLAIR, N.J. -- For many in New Jersey in search of gasoline, the mantra has become sit, wait and hope. Beginning noon Saturday, that exercise in patience will become even more confounding and complicated. Gov. Chris Christie late Friday ordered gas rationing in...

I shudder to think what would've happened if the crew hadn't done their pretrip :(

I've been curious for a long time as to what peoples' screen names mean. Some are obvious (such as jelliott for John Elliott); some, like mine, are not. So if you wanna share, what does your screen name mean? Since I've asked a personal question, I'm honor-bound to answer it. "Xmudman"...
