I'll be the first to admit I got "bit" by the expediting bug 2 years ago and the revenues generated by running over the road. Me running OTR was never in the plan. But all it took was that first "shorty" and I was feverish. Then another. Then a decent rodeo. Then several good rodeos. Then a...

EO is an online workshop, as much as anything else. Virtually every question imaginable has been asked and answered on EO. Many of them many times over again. The hardest part is searching and finding the Q & As. But they're on here. Every expediter that shares their experiences on EO is helping...

Who? Us? Nothing too difficult but NO trip leases.

Gas this morning in Sidney, OH at the Marathon at the Fair Rd exit $3.25. 30 miles south in Dayton still $3.55.

See post #297.

LOL!! No Jags for me. We'll enjoy 2 fewer oil changes & tire rotations a month, for now. Maybe something down the road.

No. I'm off the road now. We have 4 rolling and looking to add another 3-4 or so. That equals a lot of quoting, bidding, updating, calling, invoicing, etc. The van had plenty of life left in it but selling it saves about $300 a month in insurance. And we have another van here for our few...

Oops. I went back too far in my head. That particular van only did $198,982.50 from 8/12-7/14.

Cool! Some local painting company bought mine. Apparently it's replacing a POS! His painter acted like he was jumping into a nice Caddy. The a/c froze him out in only a few minutes. ;)

Sold my van yesterday. Quick sale thru Craig's List. Bought 8/6/12 $6000. 235,000 odom. Sold 7/15/14 $1500. 460,600 odom. Made about $225k with that van. I'll pull the exact number later. I miss that van already. Never stranded. Long live the Bowtie!!

Memphis BBQ is overrated. Love me some of that down south pork!

I bid on a NE tonight but I'm sure they laughed at the rate. Doesn't hurt to try. Would have certainly paid to drive the heck back out if there. No go. Not even a response. LOL!!

True story, Bob!! That was Straight Shot Express. It seems that when we really get them out of a jamb they seem to pay even faster. There's a small percentage of brokers that do that. That really helps!! Thank you Straight Shot Express!!

Trust me Paul, if we could carry the SLOW broker pay, we already would!! We don't steal drivers, tho. For the record, I don't really recruit. The drivers we have that care to discuss their cons and pros with Crossroads seem to sell us themselves. We'd pay recruiting bonuses to them but then...

Poor Beanie! He'll get caught up.

Not all carriers have escrow deducts.

Party in West Memphis!!!

Ken, we're tickled you're aboard!! You and BK made a great addition to Team Crossroads!!!

Ok. That's a life I've never experienced, personally. It's still a huge leap of faith. We get that. No one PLANS on waiting that long. HeII, your oldest load is getting HAIRY!! It seems Natxxxx Expxxxx hasn't changed at all, in how they pay, in the last 10 years. I had to go after their bond...

Sorry Jung didn't work out for you, Mr Mud. Also sorry I have no interest in factoring invoices to make bringing drivers on way easier. It's a very limited pool of O/Os that can bear the burden of running the startup period with us. I sing their praises!! Our guys rock!! Hope you're on with a...
