TeaCup Express

I don't care if the co. is called Tea Cup Express or Little Banana Man, Inc. - if they pay me on time that's all that matters to me.

The name of the co. don't mean a thing to me... Pay, equipment, and if it applies, Benefits too - that's what's important.

Them hiring women only might just mean it's a woman that owns the operation and wants women drivers. On the flip side of the coin, I could see a discrimination issue to some degree, but to some degree I could also not see one.
They wanna hire women only, that's fine - the women they hire will soon find out if they're a good operation or not, and they probably are a good operation since there's word that they're known on EO - that's a compliment to EO members.

Don't worry, TeaCup Express probably won't be around long...
I heard Double T's gonna get them, ya know...
Tea Transport, Ha, I crack myself up!

By the way, is Panther going to be re-named Pan-Way?
I couldn't resist! Smile!
How about Panthers Way? Panthers Too?
They say those happiest in life are those who are able to turn the light switch off in the bus restroom from the drivers seat. Smile!
Then there's always the "magic switch"... the on-the-go bus dump (automatic/electric valve).
Private Bus Bumper stickers:
"Caution, stay back 500 feet" or "Bad Weather ahead"
"Caution, do not tailgate in rainy weather"

TeaCup Express... Bumperstickers: We're little, but we're fast.
Watch Out Kettle, the cup is full too.
Go with the cup. Express it with the cup.
Ok, I'm done... hope I made somebody smile, Later, BigBusBob

OK, here's the deal.

I was listening to Dave Nemo and Marcia Campbell yesterday (Saturday) morning when they were broadcasting on XM radio from the Expo. They interviewed a lady by the name of Lynn Drake who works for Tri-State Expedited Services. She stated that "Teacup Express" is a branch of Tri-State. It was created by Mrs. Chidester (one of the co-owners of Tri-State) specifically to give women more opportunities to become truck drivers. So far they have purchased four "Lipstick Red" tractors for this operation. They will NOT be involved in expediting. These trucks will be on dedicated runs. End of quote.

You are indeed correct. I had a chance to talk to Lynn at the Expo, and found her to be a well spoken lady. She does indeed know it could be a controversial move, but really wanted a company for women, by women.

She said she would give me a phone interview at a later date, so I'll hopefully get more info.
