    Broker own loads?

    You're welcome! Nice to be reminded of forgotten memories sometimes! (Sometimes not!) Am I getting that Americans just don't know what a duvet is at all, and THAT is why they don't know whether it's a duvet or a duvet cover?? Honestly, I had NO idea! We must be REALLY special over here!

    Broker own loads?

    Well isn't that some fancy sidetracking with the intent of blurring the truth, when all you really needed to do was make a simple, humble apology. :) I looked it up on 'answers.com' and when it said the same thing, I thought, well gee, Turtle will shred apart my choice of reference, so I'll go...

    on board fax machine?

    Yes, I use one of those converters also.. but it requires that extra step.. and try explaining that extra step to someone who's less than computer literate, when they're having a hard enough time just making email function.

    Paperless Statements

    When you 'go paperless', it only means they don't send you paper in the mail (saves them money via paper, envelope, wages, postage). They send via email attachment usually in pdf format, which you can then save in a folder on your hard drive, and you can also print out to save as a paper copy if...

    Broker own loads?

    And since we're hijacking the OP to discuss linguistic inadequacies between countries, why do Americans refer to a duvet COVER as a 'duvet'? Hello?

    Broker own loads?

    Personally, I don't know any who do. But I have talked to Americans who have referred to them as such, and totally confused me. Hydro From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Hydro may refer to: shortened name for hydropower, derived from water specifically...

    on board fax machine?

    Just a beware thing.. I may be mistaken, but I'm not sure that some of those cheapies can scan into pdf mode.. something to watch for, as it will require more steps and frustration if it won't do pdf's.

    Wow! Look at that 'median house price'.. especially in relation to median family income! Well, at least it can only go up, right?

    Is it just me?

    If people are willing to run an expediting business for zero net income, wouldn't it make for a longer and less stressful life to just stay at home and tend to the garden for the same zero dollars? Might even be ahead of the game.

    Beware at&t data connect plan

    The cable companies used to have ads on TV (haven't seen any in a long time) talking about how getting services or free-to-air satellite in an unauthorized manner was 'theft', and please report anyone you know who is 'stealing', etc. Perhaps they thought that people were doing these things...

    Is it just me?

    Presumably 'profit' means after paying yourself a wage... expediters DO do this for money, correct? Why does this figure surprise some?

    Beware at&t data connect plan

    We (up here in Canada) just got notices in all of our various 'Bell' phone bills basically saying that effective on a future date (like September 1st or something), the contracts they currently have in place with individuals and corporations may be changed however they want, whenever they want...

    on board fax machine?

    You might as well start out spending that money for 'the toys' you're going to need, cuz there won't be money later for the fun stuff :) I have to say that I was, and continue to be, in awe at how technologically savvy these people on EO are (some obviously more than others!) My background...

    Getting ones own Authority

    There are companies out there that charge large dollars, for a reason, to get you set up with all that you require for your particular business model. It isn't as simple as paying the $300 and filling out the FMCSA application. IMHO, anyone thinking of doing this should take the time to fully...

    Extending Unemployment Benefits

    People like that make me sick. I wonder if he will regret not taking the job with the future once his unemployment insurance runs out (if it ever does). Hopefully there will still be an offer with a future on the table for him at that time. And the people who are on UI who are allowed to make...

    another crazy ? for cargo van owners

    Hey too bad you're not in Ontario. You could start with Dynamex on July 1st, and your first settlement would be on August 1st, covering the runs you did from July 1st to the 15th inclusive. So you would need the funds to cover all your fuel and expenses for the first 31 days, and then you...

    this is for all cargo van drivers ?

    That's too general of a question to be able to be answered with any degree of faith and trust in the answer. Nevermind the wild variances you may find in gross revenue alone, everyone considers expenses differently. One (sounds like perhaps TJP) might not consider their cellphone expenses as an...
