Hotshot, Welcome to the forum, glad you jumped in! Dreamer Forums Administrator

RE: Perhaps someone who sees the sign could give a clarification.. is it actually no Expediters period, as in D units also, or simply no Expediter vans they don't want in the truck lot. I've seen places that didn't want a van taking up a truck spot, (understandable)but I've never seen one...

>A Team you indicated you had trucks (plural),how many were >involved with the Katrina situation.? Rich, If you re-read that paragraph, I beleive he was possibly speaking of Expediters in general, not himself. At least, that's the way I took it! :) Quote " Expediting is all about being...

David, I locked the thread about etiquette, as Lawrence suggested, because it was turning into an arguement, which was not the original intent. As I stated in the last post in the thread, before I locked it, I figured all sides had been heard, and there was no further reason to leave it open...

Ok folks, this has gone far enough, so I guess it's time for me to step in, and lock this thread, since all has been said that needs to be. For what it's worth, the dictonary defines etiquette as "socially acceptable behavior". Acceptable, not set in stone. No one said anyone had to be...

Riverbob, Great informative post, thank you. Dreamer Forums Administrator Expediters Online

Oldprof, I've had many CB's, and I've had the overall best use, and longevity out of a Cobra 25 or 29. For myself, I prefer the Nightwatch versions, as the face is lit, making it easier to use at night. They are decent out of the box, or you can have a good shop do a peak and tune for a bit...

#####RE#####: ##########RE##########: ############ kg, Just for info, in online communications, ie email, chatrooms, messenger, forums, etc... typing in all caps is done to 'yell' at someone, therefore is considered rude. Once again, LDB was reminding folks of ettiquette, not saying you can...

RE: remember if OK guys, let's not get ridiculous here. All Leo did was post a reminder of posting ettiquette, so why did it have to get turned into a discussion like this? He wasn't making any demands, he was offering suggestions to keep a professional, and readable forum, and what's wrong...

Greg, Congrats on a succesful start! Hang in there, and stick to your plan. As you get used to the company, and they to you, it will get easier, til it's 'old hat'...[img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/13/13_1_208.gif"] Just rememember this bit of advice... always carry a spare...

Congrats on making it your first 2 years, and not becoming a statistic. Dreamer

Yeah, gotta watch the resale on the Class 8's... around here, that set up would be great resale for a dump truck chassis. Dreamer

RE: C's RULE !!!!!!!!!! At FedEx I was told that a run is offered first to the size unit it SHOULD be on, no matter who got there first. In otherwords, if it's a B load, it is offered to every B first, then C's, then D's, and lastly E's, etc. Therefore, using that logic, if most of a...

Thanks for clearing that up Dave! I thought they all dumped into the SAME tank, I didn't realize you could have a separate tank for toilet and shower/sink! I was thinkin, like there's not ENOUGH #$*% to walk thru in the parking lot..LOL... My apologies for the mistake Steve and Chrissy! Whew...

You will have to go to a testing station and take the pre-trip/road test in a air-braked vehicle. I went thru this several years ago.. my first driving experience was in a non-air braked vehicle, so I had that restriction also. Had to retest like I was a newbie. Contact whoever does the...
