Leo; EXCELLENT POST! It was very well written and accurate. I could not have explained that one any better and I've been doing fuel taxes for 30 years. I'm very glad to see you back in the loop. You are appreciated. HotFr8Recruiter

The heck with square root day, tomorrow is the only day of the year that is a "command"! "MARCH FORTH!" HotFrRecruiter

VBobby; Could you please offer suggestions as to what would make the EO Workshop better, as far as topics that could be covered,to help "ready" a person for the Expedite Industry? Thanks, HotFr8Recruiter

Oilerman; All Owner-operators should be knowledgeable of their Physical Damage insurance policy. Most insurance companies will gladly accept a premium payment for any "Stated Value" amount that the Owner-operator places on his or her vehicle. The problem arises when a vehicle is "totalled"...

May I suggest "Rip-offReport.com". Thanks, HotFr8Recruiter

Termite; I deal with the background checks on the "inside" - within the walls of a carrier. I am often amazed what our government expects the hard-working folks of this country to go through. When will they realize that any terrorist attack is NOT going to involve "law abiding" terrorists...

Pjjjj; No problem that you are not a recruiter, you did an excellent job of responding to the person's question. To take the answer a step further, keep in mind that limitations that you, an independent contractor (Owner-operator) place onto to the company will also limit revenue or...

K9SearchDude; Welcome to the EO Forums. There are Expedite companies that do utilize solo drivers. Not every Expedite company uses teams only. Call the companies listed on the EO home page and inquire. Thanks, HotFr8Recruiter

Jon; There are literally millions of tips contained within the forums here at ExpeditersOnLine.com Take some time out to read some of the posts to get a really good feel for expediting. The "Newbies" forum might be a great place to start. EO also offers a series of Workshops throughout...

The carrier you are leased onto must be a "Bonded Customs Carrier" in order for you to do such a move under load. Thanks, HotFr8recruiter

Thanks Cheri - great point and I missed that, my bad. There will also be a "tag" line below each post with the poster's screen name, and usually what they do, ie... O/O - Straight truck leased to... or Senior Recruiter, or Moderator. To my knowledge, there are only two folks that do recruiting...

You will know if the member posting is a Moderator or not by their profile. Otherwise, ask. I don't think there are folks out there posing as recruiters. It is good to speak with drivers from the companies you are interested in also. They can give you the "other side" of the company...

RivJeff; Please click on the company named "banners" on the right hand side of ExpeditersOnline homepage to gain additional info, application and contact info for each carrier you may be interested in. Thanks, HotFr8Recruiter

Moot; Great post! Yours always are. I hate to be ignorant but what does the "p.o.s." adjective in your first post mean (when referring to about American made H.D motorcycles)? Just need to know what that adjective stands for, so the next time one of those people that ride those things...

Warlord; You would need to contact and apply to Express-1 to get your (correct) answer. Thanks, HotFr8Recruiter

Team Cozumel; That is correct - you would only need a Class B CDL to operate a "Stretched Tractor", provided you do not haul a trailer behind that vehicle, where the trailer has GVW exceeding 10,000 lbs. Viva Riviera Maya! Thanks, HotFr8 John

Team Cozumel; Class 8 straight trucks require only CDL B. Class A CDL required when vehicle is towing trailer in combination where the trailer has GVW exceeding 10,000 lbs. You can drive a 110,000 lb. GVW straight truck with a Class B CDL. Thanks, HotFr8Recruiter John Mueller, CDS

Click on the "banner" or "button" for Lanstar on the first page when you visit ExpeditersOnline.com Expedited Trucking Owner Operator Careers and Truck Sales It should provide you contact info for Landstar and one of their recruiters. Thanks, HotFr8Recruiter

rts0073; Occupational Accident Insurance is NOT Worker's Comp. It is insurance coverage that protects you in the same areas as Worker's Comp., but at a fixed cost per month rather than the general "percentage of pay" method used by many states. It is not required in DOT regulations that I...

Fastman; You ARE family (even though you ride "that brand" of motorcycle). HotFr8Recruiter
