Welcome to American politics...more tea Dear?...one lump or two? ;)

Not exactly true...more like shoot first and cover-up later. BTW a turtle with a 23"... :eek:reminds me of that song "Draggin the line"

"No. My spreadsheet is for me. This project is to build a spreadsheet for everybody." Ok, You are the undisputed "Successful Expediter" and you have created a spreadsheet (perhaps the best ever created) and you will not share your numbers or spreadsheet with others yet freely solicit such...

I am confused. Phil haven't you been using your own spreadsheet for years? Can't you provide us with that as a base for building one for others? It might give others ideas to contribute. And unless I'm mistaken, didn't you give Virginia Albanese a program to calculate operational costs some...

Having read much about the 53' Reefers in "West Coast Reconsidered'", I wish to suggest that these trailers are also intended to fill the likely void of non "California Compliant" trucks as the deadline for upgrades approach. I am sure their is an added incintive caused by some (if not many) WG...

We were at the ONT TA on the 24 & 25. I was up at 0400 on the 25 preparing for an early delivery in Irvine when I noticed an employee pushing a yard cart to pick up trash in the front lot where we were parked with other expediters. Notably, he never had to stop to retrieve trash along the entire...

This is the kind of response I was looking for. It can be a difficult subject and after a google search I came to realize it was even more expensive and complicated than first thought. We have budgeted for most things for this business but neglected to consider this until recently...I wasn't...

Have you made plans? My wife and I discussed this and since we previously decided on cremation, we believe it would be better to get cremated in the jurisdiction where we died. This is in part do to the expense of transporting a body. Regardless, death is a fact of life and the question I bring...

The class 8 sterlings are more powerful and have better economy. I am selling my 2006 l9500 with benntz sleeper roof air bunk air pro heat mbe 4000 and 10 speed automated. Engine has 429,000 miles and is warranted for one million miles...I am selling to get out of fleet ownership. If interested...

Durring that big winter storm in DC when the local officals were saying on the news to "not be on the roads unless it was an emergency..." we were refusing a repeated offer to accept a load from Indiana to DC. We were told that if we refuse the load because we would not go there, we must take...

JJ, they no longer allow "all-you-can-eat" it seems that someone stuffed their pockets and backpack with all the "good stuff" so they now issue $10 vouchers. Anything over that amount is on your own dime...are you the culprit? :o

If you want to earn $2.86 per mile based on %60 of gross, sell your $252,000+ truck and buy a used $1,500 4 dr and come to West Palm Beach Florida. I had to take a Taxi back to my truck today and the fee for 8.9 miles came to $42.50. DH for the CAB was 0 miles. The break down was; $2.50...

We have noticed quite a few on the road since the first of the year. All but one were red KWs. I now wonder if E1s presence has anything to do with FedEx cutting the detention pay? It seems that when a new carrier starts up or an existing one takes on a similar service the driving strategy is...

Our EOBR was mounted using a device that slips behind the trim and held on by existing screws. (we are a FL Columbia) No holes needed to be drilled in the dash for the unit. As far as the external components, they used the existing mount and wire routing...so far no leaks. I agree that they...

I finally did it! Kicking screaming, crying and clawing..wait if not installed by March 31...no contract? Well let me rethink this for about 1/10 a second...ok install the thing. Gee not so bad afterall. I still have my truck, my freedom (I never bothered with Off Duty Driving until now)...

Ok this has got me looking further into this and appararently Florida Cities can formulate their own def. of "commercial vehicles" ...slightly off topic from my OP but after having to prove I have complied with getting my own DOT...updates etc. I do think that Vans may be regulated in by usage...

I agree there is probably a little more to this...when I worked for FEDEX express in Miami, there were frequent checkpoints set up for all vehicles and anything looking commercial(whatever that is) was pulled...this was also in conjunction with immigration officers and many times when I went...

Seems like the DOT expected many drivers to switch to cargo vans after CSA 2010 and the push to EOBRs' at least in South Florida. After seeing many windowless vans with large "NOT FOR HIRE" lettering on the front, sides and back of their vans, I asked my local friendly DOT officer; Why? His...

I witnessed a pedestrian texterist (or is it a texting pedestrian) walk right into a tree in the parking lot of Dolphin Mall here in Miami Florida. It was not a gentle tap either, she seemed disoriented for a moment, gathered herself and continued texting and walking to the mall. Lesson not...

Oh c'mon! The new VRU voice is real sexy in a Rosanne Barr sort of way. You just have to think positive...real...real positive! Ok well may be not the hottest voice on the planet but at least better than lisitening to a voices like Arnold Swartzenager or Mr 'T'. etal. I can here it now. "Hey you...
