    Mr Heater, Revisited

    I just got one of these things on the good word about em from some EO members here. I also got a Carbon Monoxide detector to go w/ it. I feel better about having some heat because before I didn't really feel to comfortable w/ the idea of delivering to a cold weather area. Now w/ this & a few...

    Home Away From Home

    I think it's a great idea. I'm lost as to why all the warnings about your neighbors & such. You're the one who has to deal w/ that, not us. I'm sure you've already figured out the logistics of it. This is an offer from you to people on the road. If the neighbors complain then I guess ya...

    Liquid salt

    I hope this is in the right forum. My question is does anyone know about a liquid salt that ya apply once or twice a year & it keeps the snow from building up on your driveway? I thought it was somewhere on this forum that it was discussed. Apparently by applying this the snow on your...

    unusual things a gps says to you

    ahhhh, so others have this problem too. My GPS will take me the shortest route, but I don't think it's the fastest. When I'm in the Detroit area I know not to always follow the GPS. A fair amount of times it'll have me get off the highway, drive on some 45MPH roads w/ stop lights & such, &...

    Do you remember when

    I remember when if ya didn't know where something was ya had to pull into a gas station & use their local map. I remember when cell phones first came out. Mannnnn were they expensive. And this lady kept calling my number wanting her daughter. It was like $3 to pick up the phone & then...

    Wireless Internet

    Guido, you must have been grandfathered in. As was mentioned, don't cancel that contract. As of a couple of weeks ago, unlimited wasn't offered.

    Wireless Internet

    I also have boost. My phone isn't that great though. So are you using your blackberry to sign on to EO here? I had always thought that internet on your phone was like Internite Lite, if ya will. That it wasn't quite as good as the internet ya got on your computer. Also, I checked into the...

    Info on CTX?

    Glad to see they improved. My experience w/ em was quite awhile ago, but not so good. Companies can change though. New management or just whatever. btw/ that's why sometimes it's better to ask & get recent opinions of something rather than searching. If ya decide to sign on w/ em good luck...

    Signing on w/ Load 1

    Hey pal, I did listen. To 2 different people. Had the first guy told me they wanted someone to do a lot of Canadian runs I would have said thank you but it's not for me. He didn't though. So I continued the process. In terms of don't wanna, NYC is fine as long as the tolls are paid. I...

    Dumb Things Expediters have Said

    That actually was said more w/ the roll of the eyes. I'm not one to beat myself up for to long. All in all I'm in pretty good spirits here. I would NOT have been in good spirits after a few border crossings. This actually is similar to Thompson in the sense that their recruiter told me that...

    Signing on w/ Load 1

    I guess I jinxed it afterall. I went down there for the 3rd time today. This time for orientation. They gave me another application to fill out & this one included filling out info for the FAST card. I told the girl that Canada didn't interest me & I'd already talked to someone about it...

    Signing on w/ Load 1

    I realize to anyone else this is sort of mundane. For me though it's pretty exciting. This has been a process that's been in the making for a couple of weeks now. I didn't say anything cuz I didn't wanna jinx it. I knew I should have passed the background checks & such, but ya never know if a...

    Have a few questions about bolt??

    To add to what Dennis said: "Search the archives" has got to be the most mundane, bored, tired reply ever on this site. Things change. Maybe people/companies/products have gotten better or worse. It's better to get current information rather than something posted in 2007 or whatever. I...

    Need a Reality Check

    I read about half the posts before replying. Up to Gregs repsonse about 35K & stay where they're at. I'd differ 100% here. The 35K they're making is combined. I'd think that as a team they could exceed that. Even in a van. I know that they said they didn't want a van. I'm just saying I'd...

    update on the horrible situation/company I am with.

    I'd chime in to that you definately don't want to be taking another run for these people. Your next company will probably have a period of a week or so that it'll take you to sign on with. Orientation, drug test, checking your application & so on. So use that time that ya have to be with...

    Bad brake job, have some Q's..

    Hey Greg, Ya bring up an point that reminds me of a computer friend I have. This guy is one of the top few programmers in the world. He explained why programmers for companies often stick around even if the programmer isn't really that good. The reason is as long as the programmer is better...

    Worst luck SPRINTER

    I'd put ya as a contender except that ya do have a few miles on the thing. I had rotten luck w/ my Sprinter too a few years back. Not like you've had, but enough that I'll never get another one. I worked for a company that had a lot of Sprinter drivers at the time. EGL, which is now CEVA...

    Bad brake job, have some Q's..

    Coating on the parts he just installed. Which if I understand this right, means the coating on the drums. If he gave me a line, I'm not sure what to say. There is less of a smell. I haven't driven it much today as his shop is about 1/2 mile from my house. Maybe I should take it for a...
