    Having some difficulties..

    Danny, Some of the best stuff that I have found is Lucas upper cylinder lube. I add it to my fuel every third fillup. I use it in my Jeep 4 liter and also in my 3/4 ton pickup - (gasoline motors). The stuff is good for a 10% increase around town, and even better on the highway. I don't road...

    Watch out for Wendys at Pilot Lodi Ohio

    Based on what I heard on the news, Everybody should avoid lettuce for a while. It seems to be the source of food poisoning problems lately. Hobo, I hope you get to feeling better! Scott

    NFL DRAFT - Who will get the first pick?

    If the Lions get him I will be true to my word. I will become a Lions fan. Heck, I'll even buy a Fathead. http://www.expeditersonline.com/dcforum/User_files/45253534631c344b.jpg

    NFL DRAFT - Who will get the first pick?

    Which team will get the first pick in the NFL draft next year? Who do you think their choice will be? I have never been overly excited about the draft before, but this year I have a lot riding on it. I don't have an official allegiance to any NFL team anymore, but I want one... So here's my...

    Calling All Expediters - Thank You!

    I just wanted to take a moment and let all of you know that as of Friday, December 15, I am officially retiring my unit Number and removing myself from the fleet. I have the opportunity to pursue some of my other interests - and I'm going to do it before I get too old and broken down to have...

    Rumor Wheels Turning

    Christmas is buying New Years Day - the results of this strategic move will be seen in December 2007 when we will all celebrate the "SUPER HOLIDAY" on December 28th. Employers nationwide are estimated to save 8.6 billion dollars by condensing 2 paid holidays into one.

    please don't slam me for being a dum

    Mac - expediting requires 100% commitment. I don't want to sound hard-nosed here, but it is very difficult to do ANYTHING else part-time and still make a good living as an expediter. Something will end up getting the short end of the stick. Others may disagree, but I had to weigh in here with...

    An Observation...

    In the spring I had a goal. I wanted a lush, green lawn. I was determined to compete with all the retired folks in my neighborhood - I wanted to be a member of the "nice yard" gang. I put down lime, I fertilized, I seeded. I watered... I mowed, I trimmed - I even landscaped. My wife and I...

    Insurance coverage for O/O

    If you are a resident of the state of Ohio there is a program available through the state that can give you the required coverage at a fraction of the cost that you'd have to pay through a conventional insurance company. I am not an expert on this - but I do know that it is available. If you...

    26k truck

    I don't see this as being legal for interstate commerce. Anything over a 26K GVW is required to get an IFTA sticker and report and pay fuel tax. If you plate it heavier, the Government will want their piece of the pie. Although an Indiana DOT officer says it is legal - I'm willing to bet that...

    Arkansas is OUT!

    Sorry Kids, I don't think we're gonna see the rematch. At this point I think it's gonna be the Buckeyes and the Trojans for all the marbles. It will be a strength versus speed contest. Early predictions? USC by 10 points.

    That was supposed to be a secret until OOIDA's acquisition of the teamsters was complete.

    Panther Fleet Size?

    GM is buying Honda to compete with Toyota. Google is purchasing Try-Hours and Radio Transfer to compete with the new microsoft expediting plan that was leaked at the GPS net conference last month. Apparently Google has a plan to e-mail most expedite freight that would have previously been...
