    General Economic Conditions

    Interesting. Phil, first you said this: "Short story: If you are thinking about jumping into expediting in today's unfavorable economic environment, be certain you can support yourself and your business, not with hoped for expediting revenue, but with money you already have in the bank."...

    Truck Shower

    I would be concerned about mildew forming on the inside of the shower when it is folded up for storage after use. One would need to wipe it dry after each use or leave it open to dry out naturally. I'd expect this thing to get pretty funky inside. :D

    Sorry, We don't know what the load pays

    If I was in that situation here is what my response would be: "Call me back when you know what the rate for that load or have other loads with known rates." After that, I'd start looking for a new company to sign up with.

    WOW! Good Buy on Cargo Van!

    There are always reasons why a seller is willing to accept less than fair market value for an item in their possession and so if I was looking to purchase this van I'd want to ensure that a mechanical issue is not one of those reasons... starting with an engine compression test.

    What are they thinking?!

    We don't have a Qualcomm, but we do have a BlackBerry and sat phone. There is a bottleneck with the RIM BlackBerry system in that all communications must pass through their facility in Waterloo, Ontario (Canada). If something goes wrong at that facility the BlackBerry is down and out until...

    Sleeper Essentials

    A sleeper is like underwear... better fit right otherwise you will be miserable while in it. Our essentials may not necessarily be your essentials, so you will need to do some soul searching and decide what is important for you. Ask yourself if you plan to prepare meals in your sleeper and...

    Eye Care

    Not just in the summer gals... that winter sun on the snow can be blinding. Don't forget to remember that you are wearing them as the sun it setting otherwise you'll be wondering why it is getting dark so early. :D

    If you want something you've never had...

    And sometimes one gets something by simply doing nothing. Most often with these types of "acquisitions" one gets something they really don't want.

    Great Places To Eat!!!

    Yes, across the river on the Quebec side. Don't worry about your French in Aylmer... you won't need it. Aylmer is very similar to downtown Montreal in that everyone speaks English and will switch immediately when your English accent is detected.

    Great Places To Eat!!!

    If you are ever in the Aylmer sector of Gatineau (province of Quebec, Canada) a must try is this place: Bistro Ambrosia-Accueil/home For your first dish we would highly recommend the "Spaghetti Ambrosia". Casual dress is acceptable. Where to park the rig? "Galeries d'Aylmer"...

    Truck Length

    Also consider down the road when you may want to sell your truck. Spec'ing it now to the regs of one area may limit your market *and* the area you can operate in should later on you make some changes. Consider making it as compliant such that it can run anywhere in the States and Canada. BTW...
