    Karma, Guardian Angel, Mortality, Coincidence?

    Have you ever had a situation happen to you that makes you think twice? I have again and you just wonder how you walked away with out a scratch. This situation just reafirms my belief that everything you do is taken notice of upstairs. Lets back up to Sunday. I am at a truck stop sitting in...

    Response to Ateam's avoid this section.

    Was going to respond to it directly when after like 5 tries I realized he had posted it in the fedex section. His post was about a section of us-40 that cuts across between I-70 and I-68 in Maryland. Yes it does save about 30 miles but extremely rough. Up one mountain then down the next...

    How much experience?

    Just curious as to the extent of experience out here on EO. Now, by experience it can ONLY entail expiditing. Do not include other experience in driving no matter what it is. Also not counting the time exploring this business, what I am after is from the time you got behind the wheel and took...

    911

    Creating this thread to find out if I am crazy or do others do this as well. I was driving on northbound us-23 this morning at 2:30 am. Went around a sharp bend when all of a sudden there was a car heading at me on my side or a 4 lane devided highway. After it had passed I got on the phone...

    The passing of an Icon

    Was saddend last night when I heard that Paul Harvey had passed. Paul was one of those few who transended age, race, gender, political affilitiation. He was a true story teller with a voice that was peaceful yet enthroling. I would scan the airwaves to try and find him everyday between 11am...

    How happy are you?

    What is the general feeling out there about expiditing. Do you love this and you will never do anything else? Or are you on your way home and putting a forsale sign in the window?

    Cargo Vans Again

    Now to make it perfectly clear this is what I am looking for. I would like anyone who drives a van (NOT A SPRINTER, STRAIGHT, OR TT) to take the poll and maybe even make a post about what type of van they have. Others may post as well but PLEASE do not take the poll. Thank you for your...

    Please hurry!!!

    Was just talking to a Landstar driver and we got on the subject of searching for other vans. We at Express-1 are getting the shaft. Our Macro-19 is a !@#$ing joke. I know Larry talked about it in the last Expiditer but he said they were almost ready to go to IT about it. Didn't we hear that...

    Handicapped

    Just food for thought. I was walking around a J parking lot the other day to get some of this winter weight off and walked by the handicapped spots. As I approached I noticed one of the trucks was pulling a flatbed. I thought to myself that guy can't be truly handicapped. But as I...

    JR

    Is Dale Jr. a joke or what? And yet he is the popular driver? I am NOT an avid NASCAR fan but I watched the race today and thought he was a joke. He misses his pit once then can't even pull into the box. Then he gets ****ed and clips the back end of Vickers. If it wasn't for his daddy and his...

    Love, Admiration,

    Not sure where to put this post but I just had an epiphany. I do not want to make this political so please don't move it to the soap box. I was sitting here at the ol' Flying J and getting ready to go to bed when 4 buses filled with people pulled in. It was almost 1am so it kind of peeked my...

    What grade would you give?

    Many pundits are wanting to give President Bush a grade. I say first off its not fair to give a general grade. You have to look at his whole term in office. They all want to look at his final year of office. I break it down by 2 year increments. 1st 2 years: A 2nd 2 years: B 3rd 2...
