Why do I waste my time?????

guest · Sep 23, 2005

For some strange reason I posted a strong praise for the company I an running for now, and the GODs on this site found it necessary to delete my post. I would like to know, WHY!!!!!!!

Is there a stipulation in your rules that state that a member of your site CANNOT post praise for the company that they are running for??????? If so I certainly would be interested in reading this in the list of rules.

Lawrence, What the **** is the problem with an owner/operator being happy with the company they are lease to and sharing this happiness with the members of your site? I WOULD LIKE AN EXPLANATION......

I'm sure this post will not be here long, but I would love to hear from others on this site.

Was that the post
Subject: "Sometimes, Bigger isn't Better" ???

http://www.expeditersonline.com/dcforum/DCForumID1/3263.html

Let me know if you get an answer to that one, I was watching that post, I noticed it was pulled also, love to hear the answer.

As to the point of "Why do I waste my time?????"

I am a VERY upset with THE ADMINISTRATION this site for taking it upon itself to delete my post, in which I shared the happiness I feel for finally finding a company that thinks of it's drivers first, that takes care of it's customers, and is HONEST about the freight it has available to them.

I am sure that some of you saw the post that I posted this morning in the General Forum. I DID NOT post this as a recruiting ploy, as I was accused of, by a certain member of this site.

"Is there something wrong in sharing a personnal success in this industry with members of ExpeditersOnline?"

If so I will be happy to re-word my post to the satisfaction of the ExpeditersOnline administration.

My only purpose, was to share my happiness and satisfaction with the arrangement I have with my current company.

PLEASE RESPOND

JustDoit,

Your positive words about your carrier went beyond information. It was an attempt at recruiting when you solicited people to contact you via email.

The following is the exact post that I made in "THIS FORUM" this morning. I also posted this very same post in two other Expediting Sites, and both of them are still there and remain untouched.

>>I have been expediting for a year, I'm not what you would call a >>veteran, but I'm not a Virgin either. I have worked for 1 of the >>BIG expediting co's and one other medium co. I am now with a much >>smaller Expediter and to tell you the truth, I will never go to a >>BIG company again. I have never seen more freight than we have >>available to us with this co. We have a very small % of deadhead, >>and the rate per mile is fantastic. It seems that the loads just >>never stop comming.

>>I have found my home as far as my expediting career. This company >>could have 15 trucks signed on and have 13-14 of them loaded >>daily. Its just unbeleivable that I always heard from the other >>company's I ran for, that the freight wasn't there. I now know >>better.

>>People always say that the grass isn't always greener over the >>fence, but in this case, it's not only greener, it has DOLLAR >>SIGNS growing in it.

There is definately something wrong here, and all I want is an explaination for this action by a member of the administration of ExpeditersOnline.

This post will more than likely be deleted again and I expect that my membership will be suspended after the administration sees the response to it. I think that the mebership of ExpeditersOnline as well as myself, deserve an answer to this action.

My IP address doesn't match anybody's. Lawrence knows EXACTLY who I am. He knows about the company's I have worked for and the hard time I have had over the past year.

I just dont understand.

This is the wording that Lawrence is refering to in his response to my post.

Lawrence,

I read the notice that you refered to in your response.

I do not see that I violated any policy in reference to the notice you refered to.

My post was "MY VIEW AND OPINION" and in it I NEVER expressed that Expediters Online.com, On Time Media, LLC, it's agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, advertisers or sponsors shared my view or opinion.

Did my post offend anyone?
I would like to know who.

Does anyone find it inapproriate besides you?
If so, I certainly haven't seen anyone post a reply that reflects your post.

If I offended anyone or if anyone else found my post inappropriate, I appolgize.

I do not understand what I did wrong, and Lawrence, if you found my post, offending or inappropriate, I personally appoligize to you.

I take it that there are no members of Expediters Online that are allowed to share their successes, and therefore you have told the membership of this site, through your response, that they should keep any success in the Expediting Industry to themselves.

I would think that information concerning successes by members of your "beloved site" would be valuable to individuals considering a career change, or someone who is experiencing the difficulties that I experienced during my first year.

Lawrence · Sep 23, 2005

We tried to send you an email to you before the post was removed.

It bounced.

Please verify that your email in your profile is correct.
