    Diamond Delivery

    I was leased to them for about 9 months. Decent people, but some strange policies. They say no forced dispatch, but if you show available and they call you for a load, you must take it no matter where or what pay. I had a 46k truck and they had a few good paying 15-22k loads that I did pretty...

    Prestige Express

    Seems like every week I see people asking for info on company's I have never heard of. Man how many co's are out there competing for the freight? I guess every tom ##### and harry with a grand in his pocket goes and gets his authority, enters the market and starts slashing the freight rates...

    Just checkin' in

    It's been 6 months since I left the expedite biz, and I thought I'd come back to check things out. I see that a lot of the "old timers" are still here. Seems most are doing decent and don't have a lot of complaints. I sold my d unit and bought a class 8 tractor and went back to yankin' a tanker...

    Fern Bennett

    I talked to another company in OK that does the same thing as the Bennett agency (Pro Cert) and they said that private owners that DO NOT have a US DOT number or an ICC number and are leased to a ICC motor carrier, can plate their truck in OK. Hope it continues,its a real money saver for me...

    Fern Bennett

    Anyone out there used the Fern Bennett agency to get your OK tags? I tried calling, but the number is no longer a working one. I wonder did the recent court case put her out of business? What are you people with OK tags going to do now. I also am plated in OK and am searching for another cost...

Hated to give up my D unit but with the economic enviroment within the expediting business, and the state of the...

The agents are not Lea employees,rather they have a contract with Lea to broker freight under Lea's name and authority. For this opportunity, the broker pays LEA a % of the load. The rates will vary with brokers,some...

    NEED INFO ON LANDSTAR

    I was with them for about 6 months in 2001. For a large company, they are pretty easy to get along with. Make sure you have a cell phone with a lot of minutes because you will be on it a lot. I don't know about the present time, but when I was there the freight was pretty slow. I was running...

    Typical monthly cost

    I have a $1,200 truck payment. My insurance costs are $321 per month for physical damage, bobtail, and workers comp. My truck has been pretty reliable so I have had no major repair costs. My fuel cost is around .12 per mile. Just about everything you buy for the business would have to be figured...

    Truck

    Hi Larry: Yea, the dealer's are offering insulting amounts for the truck, anywhere from 12k to a high of 20k. There is nothing wrong with the truck and would not have a problem selling it to a freind or relative. The dealers are just trying to make a buck in a soft market,hey they are in it to...

    Truck

    I have my D unit up for sale, but don't seem to get many interested reply's. What's up? Is money really that tight? Am I asking too much. It would be a great starter truck or a upgrade unit. It's loaded and a potential $ maker. I need to sell this truck so I can get another. Look at ad # 2098 in...
