Being not in your country, I didn't think anything at all about him. I don't read piles of newspapers about American politics, hard enough trying to keep up with our own. I used to read a lot of crap on here during your longggggggggg election antics, and my view of him became a bit tainted...

Ok, I'll bite.. The way I see it, is if you're with a large carrier who has lots of freight opportunities available at a fair price, AND they will also allow you to broker some of your own loads, only taking a 15% 'commission' or 'service' fee', or whatever you want to name it, it is the...

Whatdoyamean??? At least there's no lying.. no backtalk.. no bragging.. no expenses.. and you know what else?? the customers probably aren't affected much by the economic downturn either!! there're probably just as many whether good times or bad.. hehehehehe

Yes, I'm getting that Panther is straight forward.. E1, not so much, still confused.

I'm not meaning to cause problems here, just trying to understand. So let me get this straight. You pay for a load board, say getloaded for conversation's sake. You see a load you can do, you call the broker, you negotiate a price.. so you negotiate a price for the load itself, as well as...

If you're giving them a straight 15%, how do you get paid a set amount for D-Time and hand-unload?

Ok, so Panther AND Express1 seem to be the places to be for OOs who want to dabble in being their own dispatcher! One question tho.... if you're an E1 OO and you book your own load, and you negotiate the price with the broker-of-the-load, and it's a good paying load... you actually end up...

Ok OVM, maybe you're wrong, maybe I'm wrong.. but I'm reading it that the driver is getting the 65% and paying for the fuel. It's always best to get your facts straight, Rangel, before you go calling the government in. Pro pays $1000 total to truck. Split is 65/35 to driver who pays...

What can I say? OVM is at least part Canuck! As far as I know, all expediting carriers charging expediting prices expect exclusive use of the truck for the freight. I think he was more referring to exclusive use of the leased-on owner/operator and his equipment.. how could we shorten that...

But, but, but, I don't have a 'reply' button, or any of those buttons you might use during a reply, like 'quote', I can't reply to posts when I open EO with Firefox. Don't ask how I did that.. but everything's still the same as it was with IE. If EO is being really sluggish, I'll forego the...

I find Firefox a lot faster for EO purposes (and most others too), except someone alot more computer-savvy than I, enlightened me about 'Ad Muncher'.. which is great.. except I got carried away with it.. and now, half of my EO is missing when I open it with Firefox, so I have to use IE for this...

Turtle had posted the scoop on this in another post awhile back: http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/32987-cracked-windshield.html

You've gotta be kiddin me? So this little thread from a drive-by, incognito poster whining about trivia gets an explanation when it's deleted... but... the big thread with over 2000 views and many responses from many members was deleted, with nary a word? Is *that* how the mods are kept in...

Ah yes, the exact term escaped me last night.. someone to feed it to the tater hole would be nice too :D Twizted .. just wondering (since your rates ARE high).. do you have 3 years verifiable commercial driving experience on file with your insurer?

Well God FORBID if you guys gave up your rights, became marxists (ok, haha) and got national healthcare coverage! Jeez you cry about your healthcare bills, you cry about your insurance premiums, and you cry about the possibility of becoming more socialist than you already are. Wake up! When...

Here, CGL stands for something like 'commercial general liability' (I think?).. there is something the same, but called different (I think) over there. Its purpose is to cover all the inbetween things, the hidden spots you would never think about, until it was too late. That's why it really is...

The OOs probably are doing loads for more than one carrier, however, theloads are contracted to the carriers the OOs are leased on to, with the carrier taking the responsibility, liability risks and insurance coverage (normally). I don't believe it's possible to have an insurer cover multiple...

We had also checked into State Farm, being our personal insurer, and were also told they don't cover cargo. Apparently insurers want 'everything', they don't want to just insure cargo alone, without also getting the liability portion. An 'all or nothing' type of deal, is what I have been told...

In our horrible socialist country/province of Ontario, the nazi government forces us to get a 'vehicle info package' on used vehicles, for that very purpose. Imagine that? Forcing us to educate ourselves so we can prevent fraud against ourselves. God forbid if your country should step in with...
