Ditto on the media blues. Every aspect on of the media (TV, Radio, Magazines, Newspapers, and Web Sites) ALWAYS seems to portray the "worse" case scenario! They cover the entire gamut of reported events from the economy - to Iraq - to Brittney Spears - to even the weather and they ALWAYS put...

If a non-commercial van (new or used) is purchased through a dealer, the sales tax is collected at point-of-sale. For a commercial purchase, I have yet to meet of any owner that had to provide a lease agreement at signing. After making the purchase from a dealer in Ohio you have to go to a...

The Michelin LTX is a very good tire. My only concern is the price. The Michelin is about $200 per tire. The Transforce HT out-the-door price for the same truck is $116. Drivers are getting 150K miles+ out of these tires. The Transforce HT is packed with features to make it a driving force...

Mike, Yes sir, my testimony is the "keystone" of my earthly life. You all pray for this old preacher. I don't want to get in the flesh and ruin something that took 25 years to acquire again after losing it. As I said, I know a little about expediting, a little more about the activities...

Check with your State Department of Taxation. Never depend on the F & I Manager, or sales person, at the dealership. Generally speaking, they do not have a clue about commercial usage and sales tax exemptions. Why? The majority of their sales are noncommercial; they sell cars and trucks for...

Michigan's loss of jobs has occurred during the leadership, or lack thereof, of Jennifer Granhom; who just happens to be a Democrat. Sniff, sniff. And do we smell something stinky now? To add insult to injury, the voters of Michigan re-elected her to office for a second term. Axiom: "You...

Traveling evangelist. ..."Have preacher will travel"... Writer.

Just for laughs.... I'll come out of the Men's Restroom smelling my hands. I then say to the server, "Wow! That pink soap doesn't clean all that well, but it sure smells nice. I just wish folks wouldn't throw it in the urinal.":D

Lord willing...I want to be there, more often, for others. Everybody hurts sometime! Expediting has opened a few doors to allow me to be in the right place at the right time. The place where I can visit someone in the hospital, fill-in for a pastor who needs to take a rest or just sit and...

Two chorus lines from a song by John Prine came to mind. Simple, but if I had it to do again I would have lived a more "Spartan" existence. Blow up your TV throw away your paper Go to the country, build you a home Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches Try an find Jesus on your own...

After carefully reading the media accounts of this unfortunate loss of life, it serves as a stark reminder to all who drive that there is a risk when we venture out on the road. The driver of the van had a spotless driving and was operating the van at a speed warranted by the existing...

Thanks for the information. This type of post is what makes the forum such a valuable tool.

It is not the norm for cargo van freight to be going in and out of deep Texas, but more and more of our vans are heading down that way. Yesterday, I saw a solo van going to Las Vegas, NV and several have been going in and out of Arizona and New Mexico. In the past, I had not done very well in...

In the past few months I've witnessed an increase in load offers going to Texas. From looking at the chart at Forbes.com there appears to be a correlation as the top 5 cities for Job Growth are in Texas! I also discovered a few other cities on the list that I had never been to before until...

I like em'. Interesting how timely Leo's post. For some reason, yet revealed to me, I have been thinking about International Trucks this past week!

Chevy: Largest market share. Competively priced. More service locations nationwide. More creature comforts. Options that make driving safer and more efficient. PS. If Toyota decides to make their Hi-Ace expediter ready, the Sprinter will die, and I will buy! Until that happens it looks like I...

Yes. Propane heaters tend to fog windows. My friend has an Espar and he experiences fogging as well. What's really wild is that frost will form behind the foil sun shade when it's really cold outside.

In the midst of the negative "doom and gloom" posting, I thought something positive might be an encouragement to those who need their spirit uplifted. Oh, weary ones upon life's road, when everything seems drear, And losses loom on every hand, and skies seem not to clear; Throw back your...

6 Wheelers To The Back Lot Personally, I believe the RV parking situation has little to do with "Gray Power". Plain and simple, most folks simply take the path of least resistance. Management will acknowledge that a problem (any number of problems) exists, but they do not have the character to...

It Comes With The Territory Yep! Random is the key word. It is NOT a matter of, "Why Is Everybody Always Picking On Me." As a former member of the medical community I was randomly tested every month. Of course, BEFORE I agreed to work for the hospital I knew in advance that one random...
