Can I at least get a Whoop Whoop out of some PTL drivers? Is Jim the only driver that posts on this forum?

Bigdogg - as much as I would love to post on the plea for comments on your beloved Patriots - I refuse to post because my mom always said "if you don't have anything nice to say....." I will say GO STEELERS! You can do it again this weekend in Cleveland......

Mr. Elliott - you are now appointed President of Sales for PTL and have the correct approach to bring some much needed accountability to our Sales Department. :)

Credit checks? ...The real solution would be to obtain personal guarantees from every company and individuals we conduct business with - and if those companies and individuals truly had the assets to really back their personal guarantees - what a wonderful world this would be.

In a time when John Q Public is so quick to criticize the trucking industry, image is everything to promote more of our positives. Our actions speak loudly.

Littlehill; There is never a better time to advance your career than the present! Read some posts on ExpeditersOnLine.com, attend an expediting workshop (EOU) and talk to other drivers. Get some wheel time with your husband and obtain your CDL. Read Linda and Bob Caffee's blog here on EO for...

Think of how few shipments it takes to reach the $75,000 figure. One claim could easily wipe out $75,000 as quickly as $10,000.

Remo; Welcome to the Expedite World. SE Michigan is a great location for this industry. Research your carriers and emulate some of the great fleet owners in our industry. Ask many questions. One of the biggest pieces of advice in starting a business is to take the time to put in place...

Stumbled across this post today and with the Expo right around the corner I couldn't help but think of Jeff. I remember him absolutely working his tail off to ensure that everyone was taken care of at the first few Expos. Always a great guy to be with and to deal with and such a huge part of...

Mr B; Place this post in the free classifieds section of EO. You will get a much better response. Thanks,

Bentley - think about maximizing your load opportunities by increasing your load carrying capacity. Straights with 33,000 or tandem straights with 46,000 GVW allow you to carry more weight than a Non-CDL (< = 26,000 GVW) straight truck. Make sure the box of the truck is wide enough to...

A tractor trailer can haul any load that can fit on a straight truck which can haul any load that can fit on a Sprinter which can haul any load that can fit on a regular cargo van. The most versatile vehicle defined.

An official welcome to our world!

Gotto03801 - your best bet would be to start calling the major Expediters to inquire if any are seeking vans in the LA area. I'd like to think Fed Ex CC, Panther and Landstar may have a presence there. Thanks,

Phil - I agree it is a ploy by money hungry camera manufacturers that hate the trucking industry. The next response was the probably the most polite way of promoting "being professional" to drivers that I have ever heard - well said. Perception is everything. I've been trying to get that...
