Encouraging customers to track the freight: a valuable service, or a monster? I believe that the concept of the customer tracking the freight, from shipper to consignee, was dreamed up by some genius (and aren't they all?) in Marketing, then aggressively promoted, as a way to provide better...

Can anyone suggest where to have a starter replaced on a Freightliner, in Nashville? I've heard too many horror stories about the dealers, to just choose the local one!:(

At the risk of losing my charter membership in the 'Sisterhood', I have to admit that I don't much like to go 'shopping' (except to splurge at the Dollar Store, lol). I am therefore having a hard time finding a specific item: silk tank tops. I used to have a bunch, but they've all gone...

I don't know who the author is, but I got this in an email today, and it's the truth! It's winter in Ohio And the gentle breezes blow Seventy miles an hour At twenty five below Oh, how I love Ohio When the snow's up to your butt You take a breath of fresh air And your...

One of my driver "phone friends" just called, and one of the subjects of conversation was how the carrier she runs for has been sending a lot of messages over the QualComm lately, from Safety. The messages are just reminders to be "safe", (ie: signal before changing lanes), but here's the thing...

This story happened a few years ago, when I was a B unit O/O. I got a load offer, just as the techs at WalMart in Chicago had started to change the oil. When it was finished, I left in a hurry. (Too much of a hurry to go back inside when I found they'd left the van unlocked, windows down, and...

One of the new features of this format is the ability to invite folks to be a friend. It seems lots of you haven't gone there yet, by clicking on the subject 'friend requests' at the very bottom of your profile page, on the left hand side. Does everyone but me have enough friends already? :confused:

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replaced. S: Left inside main tire almost replaced. P: Test flight ok, but auto-land was very rough. S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft. P: Something loose in cockpit. S: Something tightened in cockpit. P: Dead bugs on windshield. S: Live...

Yesterday, my Garmin had a frozen screen, for quite awhile. Actually, until the battery died, I guess, because I unplugged it, and nothing changed. The top half of the screen had a map, (without enough info to identify the location), the center had a toolbar, and the bottom had what looked like...

If you aint particular engaged (sorry, was listening to Dickens, and this phrase just cracks me up) later tonight, to early tomorrow morning, the Geminid meteor showers are going to be at their peak - worth catching, if you can.

This is a hand drawn card, done by our own talented Moot - who couldn't get it to post, haha, but he sure can draw!

I met mine this year - did you? Specifying the goal(s) is not necessary, just let us know how successful you were/are, whatever you wanted to achieve in 07.

Ok, this has nothing to do with expediting, or driving either - just women. I've noticed that my name is often misspelled here, with a second 'r' added. I'm not complaining - I get a kick out of it, actually, and think that if I ever do another name change, (about when He** has iceskating...

Is anyone at, or near, the Pilot in Minooka, Il? I need a jumpstart, (have cables), HATE asking strangers for help...Have had jumpstarter on battery for over an hour, voltage meter not moving - appreciate it if anyone is able to help!

or at least the windshield is! Are there any do-it-yourself repair kits for the chips? Or is a new windshield the only option?

I've been noticing an awful lot of "memorial" signs, such as "The Trooper John J 'Buzzy' Smith Memorial Highway" recently. So now I'm wondering what will happen when all the highways, bridges, tunnels, overpasses, pedestrian walkways, and interchanges have been named in honor of someone - will...

I was looking for a 30 amp blade fuse at the TA, and found this: a little gizmo that self sticks, for keeping cigarettes & lighter handy. Not a smoker? It holds cellphones & remote control units, too, and probably other things that I haven't thought of. It costs just $4.99 - but don't look for...

One of the most aggravating things, IMO, is having to write the carrier's name & address on every sheet. So I wrote that & my truck number on a white log page, took it to Qwik Copy, and got 100 sets printed. The white sheet is a carbonless copy paper, and the yellow sheet is plain paper. It took...

There is a frantic truck driver, whose 8 month old Pappillon pup got away from him last night, at the truckstop on I 70, exit 59, near Springfield, Ohio. It answers to 'China', and the driver can't stay to look any longer, so if anyone has any info, (or even better, the little nipper itself)...

I'm referring to the first time you went to a concert, in case you thought otherwise...The other music-oriented threads have been so popular, I just thought here's a chance to show your age, lol.;) My first time was Ray Charles & Gladys Knight, in 1971, and I was hooked on live music from then...
