Thanks Cheri, well the unfriendly crowd left, and since then, I have met several expediters here. Even one from my own company. It has been educational to check out each others set ups. I see everyone except me has insulation. Ha I figured well the cold weather was about over now, and there...

I have a 1000 watt inverter off of which I run a laptop. Three phone chargers, 800 watt microwave, a small fan. It is plenty for me. I use my microwave more like ten or twenty minutes a day. Not sure what you can cook in 2 minutes. I recommend running your engine while you use the microwave...

There is no way I would name names, because if I leave anyone out, they may feel like why did I try to help you. I care about not hurting others feelings. I must say several people here have helped me. Either with technical advise, or other kinds. Some have helped just by making me laugh at...

I just delivered a FedEx load to a FedEx warehouse. Probably no one wanted it cause it was 153 miles. That will buy me about 900 miles worth of diesel. Now if I don't burn it up dead heading, It will be a good deal. But what do I know? I am just a beginner. I am still looking for a crystal...

Transport Insurance. 170 per month on a brand new 08 Sprinter. I will lower it as the value goes down.

Thanks for the link. I will look it up when I have better internet connection. It is taking forever to load pages in Laredo. I think I know why no one is saying where they are. This place is full of expediter trucks and vans. I have waved at a few of them, and they look at me like I am some...

Waiting for a load in beautiful Austin, Tx. I think I better get a roof fan put in here. This van is pretty warm, and it is only about 70 out. I am going to wait til the 1st shift factories are done, and if no load think I will head North East a little. I am never going to sit for days in...

I too am glad to see fuel prices even being mentioned. Nothing may be done about it, but if it is not even being talked about then I am sure nothing will happen.

It's ok with me if they want to advertise. I haul yellow stuff sometimes. And as far as hand me down freight, the dollars it pays are still green. :)

I watched a couple of movies using that site. I found it better to start the movie, put it on pause, go do something else for a little bit, then when I come back it is so far ahead it never stops to buffer while I am watching.

The bigger question for me is this. What search terms did you use to find this? I looked for over an houir and finally gave up. Now some of that time was reading. :rolleyes:

Always good to let others live. :D

What is one more reason to leave Michigan? Are you saying the state is like a dumb blond in your analogy? And where is the bird? Do you not like Michigan? I see you are a buckeye fan. It is hard to read moods in print, so let me state. I am just asking questions. I don't have...

Well, I have never gotten 22 mpg yet, though I did get 21 mpg on one trip. I usually average about 18.5 mpg, and often get 28 per cent FSC. That is 28 per cent of what the load pays which for me is usually 80 cpm sometimes 90 cpm, and surprisingly much more.

It is exactly 102 miles from where I am to my pickup. Of course I am really about five miles north of Port Huron, and even though it is an Ann Arbor address, it is pretty far south of the downtown area. Actually much closer to Saline (home of Expressway). I am going to Oxford to visit which...

Glad I moved from the West side of Michigan to the East side. Even more glad I am going South Saturday night.

Driver is resposible for fuel and tolls does not sound like you will get re-imbursed to me. And like it says in the previous post, if FSC comes out to 200 bucks, then that is what you get for fuel. In my case sometimes the FSC pays for the fuel. Most times it covers part of it. This way it...

My latest address is Walmart in Port Huron, Michigan. I have not been to Port Huron for like ten plus years. I could have sworn there was a truck stop here. It is so hard for me to believe I was wrong. :rolleyes:

I am a hobby expediter. I must be cause I am not making a living at it. :rolleyes:

Sure they got someone's attention. You and I are talking about it. And Fox news kept running it. And it will have an effect. Tomorrow morning at the meeting, I am going to stand up and say "Dubya, Dick, come on let's do something about this.
