This is what ya call beefing at a higher level. Kinda like the baseball player who squaks cuz his buddy is making 2 million while he's only making one. Anyway, I had this pick up that was one of those where ya go to the addy & find no one's there. Look at the bill to get a phone number &...

Hey everyone, I'm wondering when they start coming out w/ winter blended fuel. I'm asking this cuz the last few tanks of gas my milage has been lower. I've checked the tires, air filter, watched my speed, & don't really notice anything in the engine that's missing. My plugs, wires, & such...

Hey everyone, I got a call from the manager of EGL on Friday asking if I wanted to work the weekend. He was pretty excited & said it would be "very lucrative". What it involved was if the Tigers won the game vs. Oakland that EGL had a contract to deliver T-shirts celebrating the Tigers win...

I'm kind of in my last lil bit of time here in the expediting world. I'm not sure if it'll be a week, month, or until Christmas but I can sense the end is near. I'm still going to post a fair amount I think & wanna add that this isn't one of those "goodbye cruel expediting world" type letters...

David's post got me thinking of a few things. Rather than hijacking his post I'm just starting another one. Anyway, how do you personally determine what runs you'll take & what you'll decline? Include any factors that ya use. My criteria is something like this. Being a local driver w/ most...

Hiya Juan, What you want to do to start a post is click on the conference ya want & then right in the middle up top is the piece of paper & pencil icon that says "post". Then ya can post your message. Take care, Danny ps: I've been on here 2 years & I don't know how to get any messages. I...

Hiya folks, I hadn't really considered applying at Panther but since I've now inadvertantly clicked that ad enough times I have a question just in case I get a subliminal urge to apply. I had felt up until this time that as a non Panther driver it wasn't my place to ask this question. I've...

A friend of my moms has a motorhome that she wants driven from Michigan to Washington state. She'd then fly me back to Michigan. I told my mom I'd charge $1000 plus the flight. Gas is paid for though I'm on my own for food. My mom felt her friend would think that's a bit high. The trip is to...

When I came on to this site this Panter ad starts blaring out at me. Now the thing is verbal. How do I change my settings so I don't get this when I sign on all the time? Yeesh, it's bad enough Panther has to aggravate it's own drivers. Does it have to aggravate drivers for other companies...

There's an offer from Citi Bank for a 6% rebate in fuel purchases in the first year & 3% after that. This offer also applies to grocery purchases & drugstore purchases. I'm guessing your credit is going to have to be pretty good to get this card, as they're not going to give it to just anyone...

I talked to John from UPS. He was friendly & informative. I mainly got the air cargo info & not so much in terms of expedite info. They have what seems like a pretty similar set up to EGL in terms of how they run things. They have operations out of the bigger airports but not so much the...

Hiya folks, Just a few questions about your expediting experiences here. The good & the bad. I believe there was a similar thread to this awhile back, but we've got some new people on the forum plus this might be a chance for some of the people who read but are hesitant to join jump in. So...

This is a little solar powered cooling unit. It's supposed to keep your vehicle cool when it's been sitting in the hot sun. I haven't ordered this product so I don't know if it works or not. For $10 it seems like it might be worth a try. I saw an ad on it during a tv show & thought this might...

The following is all said w/ smile.. Yeesh!!! Just a few days ago I was raving about how things were going so great. My first run since that post: A run down to Detroit thru construction followed by a delivery that wasn't there & I had to bring it back in the morning. They paid me for a 2nd...

I'm hoping everyone's doing well. I noticed this board is a bit slower lately & was hoping everyone's doing ok. I really haven't had much to add recently myself. Having been a memeber for a lil over a year, I'm wondering if this board goes thru the same cycles as the expediting business in...

Hiya folks, I have a challenge here & would appreciate other people's ideas. Sometimes people on the outside can see things you don't. Especially when they've been thru similar experiences. I have an idea of what I'm going to do here, but am definately open to other ideas in case I'm missing...

Wow, I've def. made a few bad financial decions recently. Mainly involving my purchase of a Sprinter. For those of you who are driving a Sprinter w/ success, my hat's off to you & I wish you continued prosperity. For me though, w/ my situation, I made a bad choice in vehicles. At least...

Hiya folks, No, I didn't call Geico. =) Yes, this is a plug for someone & I hope it's ok to do. When someone does ya right ya wanna share the info just like when someone doesn't do so well for ya. I am not related to this person in any way, shape or form except as a customer. Anyways, Shelly...

Hiya, I realize this has been talked about before, but I'm curious as to what the advantages of joining OOIDA are. Please no "search the archive" comments cuz uggggggh.. I've searched em & I get no luck. I know they're in here somewhere, but all I can do is keep clicking on "next page". My...

Hi, I have another question here. With my old van, when a truck would let me into their lane, I would turn on/off my headlights as a way of saying "thank you." The Sprinter I now have, the lights are always on. So turning then on/off doesn't seem to be an option. I've thought of flashing my...
