    Paid memberships

    It seems to me that a possible solution to the most recent problem of unwanted prank(s) or even worse, attacks on the members, would be for EOL to charge a yearly membership fee of $xx.00. I'm thinking maybe $25 and EOL would generate the password. I think this would discourage someone to...

    Drive Time vs Waiting Time

    I know there is no such thing as an "average week" in our business, but, over the past year, using a percentage basis, what would be your own individual (or team) breakdown. This is only a guestimate. (i.e., 75% wait, 25% drive) Be safe and busy.

    While delivering in Columbus, OH yesterday, a "D" truck with the logo of Linea Mexicana passed me on I-71. This is the second time in the same week I've seen their truck(s).

    BULLY PULPIT

    Forgive me if I have this wrong, but it seems lately that EOL is becoming more of a bully pulpit for a minority of driver's own agendas. (i.e., how to live, how much to earn, what is acceptible to them, etc., etc.) I think the majority of us log on to great website to share information that...

    WHAT ARE OUR HOURLY WAGE(s) ??

    I know not all expediters drive the same type of vehicle. But, none the less, it is still the driver's bottom line. Approximately how much an hour does your vehicle/business generate for you? Include all hours from when you leave your home, until you arrive back. Be it 3 hours or even 3...

    HOW DID YOU DISCOVER EXPEDITING ???

    As for myself, I saw a local ad in the newspaper posted by C&M in the 90s. After an interview with one of the owners, I did a WWW search and discovered EOL. I never did drive one of the C&M vans only because of the time away from home. I can tell you this, however, in the past two (2) years...
