i know i am computer illiterate and im shure its in plain site . when you want to look up something that was posted before , instead of asking something that someone else already has . there is alot of stuff on here that is very enjoying and adictive to read but is very time consuming . i have read some things that people have said like " look in the posts from before ". that takes forever . any easy way to look ?

There is a "search" method at the top of every page. Open that and put in a key word or phrase and that will help sort it for you.

In the Advanced Search, you can search for certain posters, within certain time frames, within certain forums. Use search words in quotes to narrow things down.

Click the "Search" link at the top of this page (below and to the left of the image of the truck). Then click "Advanced Search" and take some time to get familiar with and play around with that screen.

You can also go to Google.com and use that search engine. Type "expeditersonline.com" into the text box followed by whatever search word or phrase you are looking for.

Well I have said that there is a problem when people new to this business search, the terms are used in different ways and always returned different results.

I mean if you look up Fuel Surcharge, you may not find the good thread with the information because they have in them FSC.

I made the suggestion and will do it again, a list of top threads (even edited to get rid of the off topic and fluff) that is put into an FAQ will help a lot more people.

Remember to put "quote"marks around your search word if looking for a specific company name.
