RE: I Have Worked For Both Well Terry first and foremost I’m very capable of answering a question and I’m also very capable of saying that any position that may be held really is not your business. Also let’s be very clear that I am not in anyway shape or form confused with the issue (I...

RE: I Have Worked For Both Tom your 300% right with HD you don’t have any control of your "business" you’re at the mercy of what you’re told to do and where you’re told to go and what time you’re told to be there and if you refuse to take a package you are putting yourself in jeopardy...

Well Terry if you must know I will answer your question this way I’m not speaking as just someone off the street who has his ear to the ground I will simply say I have been to meetings that you will never know about or ever be informed about and please i do not make that statement in a...

Linehaul is no doubt the way to go if your going to do it but if your going to be P&D get ready for a lot of crap to deal with from bogus claims to your scanning money wise it depends on your area from the terminal that I was in it was nothing for IC's to have more then one rt and make 80 to...

Oh greg im sure you was told that its sad but Ground could be a good deal if they would just let the IC's be just that but like you said you was told you had to do this and that before you can do somethin else i mean come on thats not a IC and like you said you ran the other way which is why a...

Actually Greg Ground Linehaul aren’t told how to drive what routes to take or anything like that if you have a run takeing you from MD to LA you take the route that is most efficiant unless you have a drop and hook at a certain hub along the way but it was already mentioned that it is the P&D...

Actually the only difference between CC and Ground is the way the drivers are dispatched per say. In some instances Ground C's are just like CC being that they are on call so to speak waiting for a run to come up on the unassigned board. Again from being on the inside so to speak many drivers /...

If anyone is familiar with the original FedEx vision, FS wanted all aspects of the FedEx umbrella to be conducted as independent contractors. Well his vision has never changed up till now there are still talks of Express turning over to IC's as well. Will that happen? It remains to be seen. Will...

Thanks for the input turtle I actually ask about miles because as I stated everyone and each carrier is different and the sitting that you mentioned and the running that you spoke of really doesn’t bother me expediting is different sometimes slower sometimes just as fast as IM use to running...

Thanks for the input Jefferson, I actually think the last 2 replies are rather funny in speaking with several companies I think some would be the ones that are the stuck in the mode of I have been doing it this way for X amount of years there is no need to go here or there but in actuality there...

Can a cargo driver make it in the west? Running the 4 corners on up? Any input please? I know some carriers wont even accept you out west unless you’re a team so is that area pretty much a dead area for the business?

Ontario that’s some good miles 234 and counting and no major repairs so let me ask you about how many miles could a b unit expect to run a week knowing that everything hinges on the freight and load acceptance. And I see that your home is in South Dakota? How do you work that? With a lot of...

Thanks Dhall you confirm a lot of things that I have been told thusfar about 2 of the carriers I have been researching but again you men and women are the ones out there now and can give first hand knowledge really appreciate it!

about how many miles do you run a week fastman?

Exactly Greg and that’s why IM turning to those of you who have experience in expediting I want to make sure that potential income will be able to take on what IM seeing the cost of a sprinter is at this point so far it sounds like from the feedback that IM getting that the potential is there...

Thanks for your input dhall I understand there are a ton of carriers out there and all of them have alot to offer depending on the person but those were the 3 that I have been doing some research on and was asking the question to see if anyone from those carriers had any feedback or knowledge as...
