    C/P from another site and it ain't good news

    From what I heard on Land Line Now on XM is if the FMCSA goes along with the courts recommendation it will mean we are limited to 10 hours driving per day. Yes Greg, I believe this will impact us severely. Not only will we be limited by one less hour per day, you know FedEx will adjust our max...

    Sounds like you did quite well to me with the price and financing. Congrats and good luck.

    First Poor Experience

    Your power with reputable dealers lies in your ability to obtain financing elsewhere. The only proper way to shop is to go to the dealer with approved financing from somebody else, know the terms of your loan and let him try to beat it. Financing should never have anything to do with the sale...

    Improving ones Credit Score

    You are right Broom, you never know when life is going to rear up and take a big bite out of your unsuspecting @$$. It can happen to most anyone at anytime with devastating results. It is easy to sit atop Mount 800 Beacon (not directed at you Kevin_Sue) and dole out advice on how to protect...

    Brokering out loads

    My question is if you were fouth in line that means there were other trucks that load could have been offered to so why were'nt they offered the load instead of brokering it out? It sounds like a good weekend load that most anyone would have been happy to take. I would have been sideways over...

    First Poor Experience

    I may be wrong but I didn't think there was a shortage of used expediter trucks for sale. Just a quick check of straight trucks for sale on this site shows 24 new listings for the month of July. What there is a shortage of is people who want those trucks and have a credit rating high enough to...

    First Poor Experience

    They want to know about financing because for many thats their biggest profit center. Some will particularly prey on the less than perfect but not horrible credit risks. I was recently counciling someone trying to buy a unit from a well known dealer and they were all excited because they were...

    Golf in Georgetown, KY

    The weather this morning in Georgetown could not have been nicer. About 76 degrees, low humidity, sunny and breezy... I played at a little country track about 5 miles from the Pilots at the 129 called Coal Ridge. It was not bad at all for $28 and the greens were excellent. Friendly folks and...

    TEANA

    I got hit with a dispatch offer this morning for Monday pick up and delivery. I had to turn it down twice before they got the money to an acceptable, albeit not good, level. Both times I figured someone else would take it but it made it back to me. Naturally it was automotive freight. Frankly, I...

    Michael Vick

    I'm from Atlanta and as bad as I would hate to see our "franchise guy" get booted this is way over the top. I want him out of Atlanta and in jail if possible. If he stays I will never watch the Falcons again as long as Arthur Blank is the owner.

    A/C fans quit in sequence

    What are the odds that the blower motors in the dash and the sleeper would quit within 24 hours of each other? In my case... pretty good. Fixed both myself for $148 in parts from Fleet Pride in Atlanta and a few hours of my time.

    Family Friendly Expediting Companies

    I don't disagree with any of you about little kids, safety or frequency of trips. But I would have liked it if FECC had allowed my 18 year old son to ride with me a couple of weeks this summer before he starts college. He is a legal adult and I fail to see the problem with it.

    whats the answer

    First of all, FW, it would be illegal for the carriers to get together and set a pricing guideline to follow. Secondly, what part of "what the market will bear" do you not understand? If there are two TVs at the TV store that are identical in features but one is $300 less than the other, which...

    FedEx Paperwork pay hold back

    Honda Gas Generators

    No question the Hondas are the best and quietest available in portable generators but I am looking on ebay at a 3500kw gen for about $400 and a roof air unit for between $500 and $800. I could have both for the price of the Honda... I know... you get what you pay for... Dang it.
