    Expediter Event- Monroe Mi-

    Thanks Lawrence. I enjoyed the event and putting some faces to names was pretty neat. Also some of the new people I met were pretty nice too. In addition I learned some things. I came out of the event with a little bit different idea of what I wanted than going in. There's always options...

    Old friend in new places?

    Friday I was driving down the highway. I was about 200 miles from home. Along comes my former jiu jitsu instructor and passes me. He didn't stop or anything. It got me thinking to when I met a guy from my high school on spring break at a beach in Florida. We didn't know each other in high...

    Is a spotlight legal?

    Every now & then someone gets behind ya that won't turn off their brights. If I can I'll slow down & let em pass. Sometimes though, you're in a construction zone or what have ya. I'm not asking this in a way that I'm some maniacal guy trying to blind someone. I'm more just wondering if...

    Sylectus/phone compatibility Questions-

    Hi- Our company is switching over to Sylectus. I didn't know this until yesterday. In the meantime, I've already ordered a new phone last week because mine is starting to go south. I currently have a motorola i-576 phone. I'm also on a Sprint data plan that we need for work. Last year...

    Pretty neat stuff-

    Pepsi has a new bottle coming out. This could lower the fuel consumption of this country. By how much, I'm not sure. It's a fully bio degradable bottle rather than the plastic ones currently used...

    Approx what should this pay?

    If you can A w/out violating any privacy issues, what would be a ballpark rate for your company for a run going from Flint, Mi to Toronto in a cargo van? This would figure on a 250 mile trip & of course, going into Canada. I realize there's a slew of variables and an exact price might not be...

    How reliable is Gas Buddy?

    I went to that site earlier today. It gave the price of $3.38 at a certain station near the end of my run. All the others were $3.55 or so. Knowing the Speedway prices were pretty accurate, I went to this station that said was $3.38. I get there & it's also $3.55. This was about an hour or so...

    Need to find a post by Turtle-

    Hi, I'm looking for a post by Turtle where he explains the proper way to maintain a Sprinter. I thought it was in one of the sticky's somewhere, but maybe not. I have searched. WOW have I searched. No luck so I'm now just going to ask if someone else might know what I'm referring too. I...

    Do you carry extra keys?

    I do- at least in winter when I have extra pockets. I have to fess up in summer not so much. And am dang glad sure I did this time. I found my main set 20 minutes later, but the place I delivered to would have been peeved if they had to keep their overhead door in Michigan open for that...

    Have a challenge-Need a creative idea

    I could use some ideas here please. The situation is at my folks house, to get out of their driveway, ya pull out onto a road w/ a 55MPH speed limit. That wouldn't seem like such a big deal as millions of people live in similar situations across the country. The problem is that ya can't see...

    2 part challenge here/need some help

    Scenario: I took my van to a pickup. While waiting to get loaded I shut it off. They loaded me, did the paperwork etc. When I start it to leave the thing doesn't start. They call security & in the meantime I'm trying to start a few times. Before security actually got to me, my van...

    West of the Mississippi

    In this incarnation of expediting I've noticed on thing that hasn't happened when I was in this before. There's a lot more runs that leave the midwest. That part of things is good. I'm finding I like longer runs better than the 300 or so milers. The bad news in this is I'm finding that when...

    Is Flying J now 50 gallons for free shower?

    I was at the J & got 30 gallons of gas. I went in to get my shower ticket & the gal said that I had 1/2 shower. I asked about the 30 gallons & she said it was took 50, & that 30 would get me a half shower. She also said 2 half showers doesn't equal 1 full shower. I had always thought 1/2...

    Help staying awake naturally

    I'm not sure how true it is. I heard it on the John Tesh show though (insert joke here). Anyway, supposedly having a cinnamon air freshener releases something that naturally keeps ya awake longer.

    One of my worst fears

    I remember part of a thread on this very thing not to long ago. Basically I was worried about an original not getting to the office in the US Mail after I'd had paperwork signed & faxed in. I do have copies, but they didn't get the original. So now I'm sitting here after making a delivery...
