I figured that I'd just need one shirt:o. As you have no doubt noticed, my retention of both printed and spoken word's is fairly short. I read your posts pre expo and never snapped that we were driving through Louisville. We've been on a BBQ kick since we've been back and unfortunately it...

I saw my first expedite truck or van at a Houston truck stop today. Was unable to stop of course, was hauling rocks for she who must be obeyed's new garden. But I'll add that to the list of questions, thanks.

Thanks for the advice. I've got an EZ tag on my personal vehicles for toll roads in Houston and as far as I know on toll roads in Texas in general. Well at least I know it works on toll roads in Austin. I've seen some discussion about toll tags in other states, but is there a single tag...

We've decided to try expediting as drivers of straight trucks. We've done quite a bit of reading both on EO and other trucking sites, talked with several of you either by phone, electronically, or at the Expo. We believe we have a realistic expectation of earnings and lifestyle. We also at...

Walking around the parking lot and talking to the owners, being shown modifications made to their vehicles or talking with them about their lives as expediters was worth the trip. The intro to expediting seminar was packed with people as well as information. The show's exhibitors were...

My nephew has been offered 2 entry level positions making $10 - $12 per hour but turned them down because he can make more on unemployment. These weren't jobs in retail or food service, these were jobs with a future. The following article is from FreedomWorks. Extending Unemployment...

We need more sheriff's like Richard Mack. Can the County Sheriff Save the Constitution? Richard Mack, former sheriff of Graham County, Arizona, is not afraid to ruffle some feathers in order to halt what he considers violations of the U.S. Constitution. In 1993, Congress passed the...

From the Wall Street Journal Central banks are pawning their gold to the Bank for International Settlements at a record rate, taking advantage of the precious metal's historically high value to raise cash. A little-noticed data point at the back of a 216-page report released last week by...

In my effort to educate myself more fully on trucking in general as well as expediting particularly I found this site on OOIDA. It would seem to me that there would be an abundance of brokers or other intermediaries including carriers such as FedEx, Panther, etc. On the other hand, if you...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Some California state workers are preparing to tap into their savings while others already are cutting expenses as Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's minimum wage order moved one step closer to reality. On Friday, the Schwarzenegger administration won an appellate court...

The tough part is paying your dues. Starting from the beginning is hard but if we can keep our eyes on the prize and stay focused... I don't know much about the the revenue, utilization or fixed and operating costs of any of the truck types, but that will be an important part of the process as...

Thanks for the great site and posts. I've followed the suggestions and have read a couple of years or more back. The time was well spent. I've had the pleasure of meeting LDB in person. My wife and I wanted to have more perspective on the lifestyle since there's no way we can comprehend the...

- The Supreme Court held Monday that the Constitution's Second Amendment restrains government's ability to significantly limit "the right to keep and bear arms," advancing a recent trend by the John Roberts-led bench to embrace gun rights. By a narrow, 5-4 vote, the justices also signaled...

I respectfully disagree. The right candidate was not present during the 2004 or 2008 presidential election, at least not for me. I'm watching Chris Christie and Sharon Angle to name a couple. Term limits though, what a concept.

he just continues to tell the other branches of our gov that he really has no need for then or our Constitution..... That's a huge problem. Executive orders weren't invented by Obama. Like his predecessors and those who would like to replace him, no one wants to act to limit this...
