Automakers gearing up to hire: http://www.superiortelegram.com/event/article/id/77884/group/News/ Sent from my SCH-I110 using EO Forums mobile app

I spoke to the president of one of my carriers today ( I run for two ), and we discussed the slowdown in van freight. One very interesting thing he shared with me is that one person or firm has started 650 (yes, 650!!) new carriers just recently. This leads to several questions, one of which...

OK so I know how to bypass some of the worst choke points in NYC, DC and my beloved Philly, but I've never been to Chicago. What are good routes to avoid Cgo if I don't need to go into the city? Answers for going to Wisconsin/Minnesota would be appreciated as well as going west. Thanks! :)

Did a run yesterday. The paid mileage matched my GPS's estimate, and the route suggested involved the PA & NJ Turnpikes, and the GWB. Add 'em together, over $25 for a lowly cargo van. Can't afford that luxury right now, so I took another route. Ended up paying $5 for the Tappan Zee and $1 to...

News Release - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Amazing lack of regard for safety of passengers and public gets a Massachusetts bus company shut down. Good to see we're getting SOMETHING for our tax dollars :)

OK, so I'm finally gonna hit the road soon, on a part-time basis to start while I wean myself off my NYC gig. Don't ask for whom yet, 'cos it's not cast in stone. Which leads to my question: What kind of due diligence should an owner/operator, especially a n00b, do when choosing a company to...

Trying to decide whether to install L-track on the floor of my E250 extended c/v, or E-track. I will be installing E-track on the walls so I can use a load bar, but I'm thinking of using L-track on the floor because it gets screwed down in one line, so it should be easier to mount on top of the...

9:07PM EDT November 2. 2012 - MONTCLAIR, N.J. -- For many in New Jersey in search of gasoline, the mantra has become sit, wait and hope. Beginning noon Saturday, that exercise in patience will become even more confounding and complicated. Gov. Chris Christie late Friday ordered gas rationing in...

Saw a few minutes of Honey Boo Boo last week. It's like watching a wreck; you don't wanna stare but you can't help looking :rolleyes:

If I Photoshopped about 16 square inches of baby-blue fabric out of this picture, there would be Uproar! and, and, Outrage! I'd also be banned. And yet, it wouldn't do a thing to make the guy look any better. Am I missing something here?

I shudder to think what would've happened if the crew hadn't done their pretrip :(

I've been curious for a long time as to what peoples' screen names mean. Some are obvious (such as jelliott for John Elliott); some, like mine, are not. So if you wanna share, what does your screen name mean? Since I've asked a personal question, I'm honor-bound to answer it. "Xmudman"...

As some of you who followed my http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/newbies-paradise-forum/48726-cant-get-medical-card.html thread in the Newbies forum are aware, I got my MC authority about 2-3 weeks ago. Now comes the hard part: finding freight! With this in mind, a Google search brought up...

Even though my entry into expediting may not occur for a few months, I am still torn about which van to buy. My question is this: If I buy a used Sprinter, what do I need to focus in on when doing my pre-purchase check? I would probably buy it from Penske or Ryder, so I'm sure I'd be getting...

For five years I have dreaded posting this, but I must know: Will any carrier accept me without a medical card? Here are the details: Right eye 20/80 at best correction. Turned down for LASIK twice because the doctors did not see how my eyesight could be improved. Left eye corrects to 20/20...
