Thanx Easy, I'd never heard of an HSA until now. I went on the web & got information on it. I won't know for sure until Monday when I can talk to an agent, but it seems like I might be able to save almost $100/month on my insurance. Take care, Danny

My policy is $162/month. It's only for major medical though. Doctors visits & such are paid out of pocket. Knock on wood here. I've only been sick once in the last 20 years or so & only saw the doctor maybe 3 or 4 times in that same period. Golden Rule is my company. I'm not sure if their...

I agree w/ parts of this but not about credit cards as a whole. I can also add to your story a bit, as I've done what you suggested about paying everything off before accepting a Great Offer. I paid down my Cap 1 card because they had a special. 3% interest for life of purchase. I then put...

I don't know all the facts here. Maybe something's missing. Maybe not. I do believe though, that if a driver isn't being paid that at the very least the owner can come pick up the truck. I don't think a truck is considered stolen if it was given to a driver. I realize two wrongs don't make...

Velocity, if it's the same company as up here in Michigan, delivers a lot of pharmaceutical (sp??) things. It's not so much expedited frieght as it is ya have a route that pays X amount a day. You'll have mostly hands on frieght that you'll put on a dolly & deliver to drug stores, doctors...

I'm going to chime in w/ my usual here. I'm gonna respectfully disagree w/ the opinion of not to work in a van though. I'd say go to work in a van & give EGL a call. If you don't have a van yet, make sure ya get a white one. I'd also suggest you get a used one about 2-3 years old. A new one...

I'm going to chime in w/ my usual EGL, UPS, or Freightforce response here. I don't know if those companies are hiring in your area but my reasoning is you have the option of either being local or over the road w/ those companies. If things are slow w/ expedite (long runs) maybe ya can pick up a...

In todays market I'd say technically the answer is true. Butttttttttt, I wanna add that I think it would be very tough to do & take a lot of discipline. I sure wouldn't recommend someone to count on a retirement like that. If you & Diane are able to do just that I tip my hat to ya. I don't...

RE: YOU HAVE TO QUIT EXPEDITING - WHAT WILL YOU DO >Hypothetically, for one reason or another, you can no longer >expedite. In a sense I can't expedite. I guess to be technical I can, but w/ what I want in my life it's really not feasable. So w/ that being said I'm out of expediting. I...

I see where Flatbedin's thread kinda went off-track & rather than being post #50 on an off-track thread I wanted to post & also to add a little bit. I now see that you live in Ft. Wayne. I totally agree about being home vs in Pa all weekend. $70 blows chunks for all day of your time. So I'm...

RE: Which company actually cares about good driver Holy Jumpin.. I noticed you were 50 miles from home when in Coldwater. If you're right there I have 3 letters for ya. "E" "G" & "L" That's EGL. I don't know what others have said yet but I've seen the authors & I'm guessing Geo recommends...

I wasn't aware of the two kinds of out of service. I'd just say "I'm out of service" & leave it at that. And like the others, if I'm out of service no one else is going to be using my truck. I'm just shaking my head that someone would even suggest that a driver loan out his or her truck. I...

The temp gauge, all gauges for that matter, are right about where they should be w/ the exception of the gas gauge. I'm going to take it to the shop. The quick fixes didn't do anything & it would be to expensive to keep getting 10MPG. This van has been good to me. I'll be good to it back &...

A lil update here. I appreciate the help & tips. Fuel filter has been replaced & not much help. Started on the o2 sensor but there's like 3 or 4 of em. Upstream/downstream/ & no instructions on how to put em in. A friend was doing it & it started gettin late at nite so I held off on putting...

Turtle, Gotcha on the oil vicosity. I run synthetic & I agree w/ ya that oil can make a difference. Before synthetic I was getting high 16's/low 17s. After it went up to high 17's/low 18's. I mostly run Mobile 1, but sometimes Penzoil or Quaker State. It's always synthetic though. Same oil...

Just wondering here what you're thoughts are on how the year 2006 went for ya. What are some of the decisions you're happiest w/ & what are some of the one's ya'd maybe like to do over? In a nutshell, let us know anything you're willing to share, whether it be good or bad, about 2006. Also...

Definately appreciate the replies. Lucas was also brought up by a friend so I'll be trying some of that out. My van is a Ford E-250 Cargo van. V-8. Tires are inflated to 65PSI, & I'm pretty good about keeping up w/ the easy stuff. If I drove any slower I'd have hitchikers askin me if "I"...

Hiya, I need some suggestions here if possible please. In a nutshell, the milage on my van is brutal. Generally I was getting about 18 or so MPG. My understanding is winter fuel will make it drop some. My milage has went down to anywhere from 10-13MPG though. That's a bit much. I've taken...
