    Back in the Ford

    Broom, I'm selling it on consignment right now. My guess is I'll a few thousand. I'll fill ya in w/ the exact amount when the thing sells. So for right now, the noose is still there. Obviously, I hope to get rid of it soon. Honda, I'm def. glad you're doing well & I mean that. Not wishing...

    Back in the Ford

    Wow, I've def. made a few bad financial decions recently. Mainly involving my purchase of a Sprinter. For those of you who are driving a Sprinter w/ success, my hat's off to you & I wish you continued prosperity. For me though, w/ my situation, I made a bad choice in vehicles. At least...

    gas wars

    There always seems to be this "the other guy doesn't deserve to make a profit" mentality out there. Would I rather pay $1.30 for a gallon of gas than $3.30?? Of course. Having said that, I think all in all the oil companies have done an ok job at keeping prices reasonable in very unstable...

    looking for some answers/opinions

    I wouldn't go so far as to say stay out of a van. I would not buy a new one though. I would go w/ a used one. There's a major difference in this industry if you have a $300 truck payment (and the insurance that goes w/ it) or a $750 van payment. Get a new van & you're working 2 weeks every...

    Rene'

    Terry, I want you to know that Rene will be in my thoughts. I hope she's able to get thru this & keep her spirits up. Nothing I can say here will make her well. I can only hopefully add support to what others on here have already tried to do. I realize you've seen several doctors already, &...

    any experience with velocity express?

    Hi, I didn't know there was more than one Velocity. I almost hired in w/ a Velocity, & they delivered medicines to drug stores & what have ya. If this is what you're referring to, then we have the same Velocity. If it's an expediting company, then it's a different Velocity that I'm talking...

    Guilty of American Idol

    Guilty of American Idol

    I don't recall anyone on this thread sayin they'd turn down a run to watch AI. Not exactly sure how your comment fits in w/ this thread, but it's nice to know that while some of us are outside the truck, the 2nd team is willing to come in & take some runs. Thanx for your idea, Danny

    Saved $1300 on insurance

    Noooooo, I did 'not' switch to Geico. What I had was insurance through EGL. I knew when I signed on I knew it wasn't the cheapest, but w/ the challenges of my (then) insurance company getting me the right insurance papers, I went ahead & signed on w/ EGS's policy. I had meant to change...

    Saved $1300 on insurance

    Landstar

    I have never personally worked for them. I have talked to some of their drivers though (maybe 6 or 7 thru-out the years) & every single one I've talked to seemed happy w/ em. I would think they'd be a good choice for ya. Good luck to ya, Danny

    Guilty of American Idol

    I will definately agree w/ ya on there's to many commercials. My DVD recorder allows ya to automatically FF 3 minutes & quite often there's still another commercial or 2 I need to FF thru. What I do to get around that is the obvious. I record the show. Even if I'm here at 8PM, I'll record it...

    Guilty of American Idol

    Gawd Yes!! LOL!! I can go on all day about that show. Last year I thought Anwar was the best, though he didn't win. This year I think Mandisa is the best up to this point. I think Simon has the hots for Kellie, just like every other guy in this country. This week I think Will is gone for...

    To Die For!

    My thoughts are two fold. I'd need to know when the accident w/ the drunk happened. If it was in the 70's/early 80s, this was before people were aware of how dangerous drunk driving was. Attitudes were different. Back then, being drunk was almost an excuse. If person A hit person B, "A" could...

    Delorme or Streets & Trips

    I have no info on Delorme because I've got Streets & Trips. Therefore I can't give you a comparison, but I can say that I'm happy w/ S&T. Also, it's often on sale. Ya might want to try Office Max & a few other places like that for a better price. I got mine for $90 if I recall it right. Good...

    How do I say thanx?

    Miko, I've prolly griped about my Sprinter on here enough. My opinion hasn't changed much, but I guess I'm learning to live w/ it. The best way to put it would be to say "this thing is growin on me...... kinda like warts" =) If ya want more info on it, ya can mail or call if ya wish...

    I appreciate the input & I will be joining. I thank ya all for your input. I didn't see quite the insurance coverages I was looking for, though they might have em & I just didn't find em. Highway, if ya could I'd appreciate ya mailing me that. Awhile back, in another post, it was explained...
