    CCW and Trucking?

    Butch - thats a good question. And Larry - thats a good bit of information included in your answer. I have had my Ohio CCW for a while now, and having an existing CDL was not a problem. In fact, it was never even mentioned. As I get ready to enter expediting, I too have wondered about the...

    ANNUAL IDIOT AWARDS.

    Here's another good one - I know it's a true story because I was there! We were night fishing and returned to the boat dock about 2 AM. There was a small car sitting there and a guy swimming by the dock. His boat was tied to the opposite side of the dock. We asked him what was going on - he...

    Need Satellite Dish Help

    I just did a quick ebay search for satellite locator. There are 15 items available now, and they range from $15 to $90. If they are this common, I am sure Radio Shack or Best Buy, Circuit City, etc would sell the same thing. If you aim for nothing, you are sure to hit it.

    Need Satellite Dish Help

    I was at a small TV speciality store yesterday, and they were selling a small handheld unit - about the size of a wallet - that was called a satellite locator. Not sure exactly how it works, but it was designed for RV satellite users to aim their dish in the proper direction. Sorry - I did not...

    How Did You Get Your CDL?

    Hi Kitty Litter and Ms Puss. April here. The written test wasn't that bad, on a scale from 1 to 10 it was a level 6 difficulty. I studied for the written test for about a week - less than an hour a day. The hardest part was the pre-trip like Lance said. It's not very interesting to learn the...

    How Did You Get Your CDL?

    We are not expediting yet, but finally, here is a question I can answer!! I got my chauffeurs license the day I turned 18, and all that was required was a simple written test. This was more important to me than getting a standard drivers license at the age of 16 because my parents owned a...

    Red KW spotted North of Atlanta tonight....

    Davekc - I think we saw you and your wife heading North out of Atlanta tonight in that impressive looking red KW of yours. I assume it was you? We are still driving that straight truck for North American Van Lines. My wife and I met you and Grace at the end of the EXPO back in August, and you...

    65mph on OH turnpike

    Dave - you hit the nail on the head again. I do not understand how these people get into office. We do live in Ohio, and its too bad when a person sort of dreads going home because he has to drive extra miles in SLOHIO. With the split speed limits, troopers are really agressive towards the...

    EXPO 04

    We also want to say Thanks for a great EXPO. It was a super opportunity for my wife and I to meet a lot of EO members and ask many of our questions as we think about getting into expediting. Everybody made us feel welcome to the group! The seminars and exhibitors were well structured and...
