But in reality, they seem to. I mean on one hand, they send out a termination letter, a more senior manager recinds that letter and says its void, but yet Phil is still terminated. It seems they are not following their own letters. I mean, he's chosen to accept it but the reality is, they...

As a company driver, I've been keeping track of my mileage and stuff so I have my own figures to use but I'm starting to think that I should keep track of absolutely everything. I hate paperwork but you can never have enough information.

But it would make a bad company for you.

I always thought that the shipper was paying the premium for the speed and quickness of the delivery, not for exclusive use of my van? However, I would think that making another stop would not be as quick as what possible. But I don't recall exclusive use being part of any delivery I have...

But how many of these crashes happen in PA? I'm new to PA but the PApike or whatever its called is the worse toll road in the world as far as I'm concerned. Don't even get me started on the ramps. I can't believe they make people pay to drive on these roads.

That is pretty impressive, I don't know whether it was an honest mistake or a planned move but regardless, its pretty f'in smart imo. I' might have to incorporate that move. Fire you, give you the letter, but mail a "oh it was a mistake" letter at the same time.

Got a pick up in Milan, IL then off to Ankeny, Ia

Sitting at McDonalds in Moline, Il, probably head to the library later.

Ok I just got back from Walmart and I see they are actually smaller than a crock pot about half the size. I'm debating between a 6 cup that has a glass lid and a 8 cup that has a closed lid kind of like a deep fryer. I'm guessing the attached snap lid is better for a moving vehicle. Also, can...

Thanks Turtle, So cliffs would be that yes it will absorb it more but it will also cool down quicker. Also park facing south west so the windshield absorbs most of the heat and have a thermal shade to absorb the heat from there. Also add insulation to roof and ceiling as most people normally...

Is there a good part of In? News to me lol

I've found a used Sprinter that has only 100k miles on it. Its also the extended version. Finding used sprinters with low mileage is pretty hard. The kicker is it has black paint. Will that be a big problem in terms of keeping it cool in the summer? I don't know much about insulation...

Ok I finally got a chance to look into these and I'm suprised at the size. They are pretty much the size of a crock pot. I was imagining something much smaller. What is the difference between a rice cooker and a crock pot?

I understand what your saying and I realize I don't know the whole picture. I wasn't debating Phil, you had specifically mentioned all the other people being happy for him. Personally, I can see how he can be viewed as high browed and rub people the wrong way, but that doesn't mean that as...

Do you think it would have been smarter for him to stay? What is wrong with people lauding him for leaving a situation he wasn't happy with? Do you think people should stay in unhappy situations? Do you think we should be mad at people who make career decisions that make them happier? I...

Phil, I'm glad you were about to leave. The fact that they kicked you out before you opted to leave, should serve as confirmation that you were indeed making the right decision. I'm just a noob but I've come to respect your viewpoint about the industry. I don't agree with everything but...

This sounds like an unfortunate plan.

I got my first pay check today. I need to invest in some safety equipment. I need to get a blue tooth headset for my phone. Dispatch can never hear me, my phone sucks, I can barely hear them. But more importantly, I need my hands free while I'm driving. Anyone got any good...

Really solid thinking greg. Thanks for your post. I think I'm starting to lean towards used again. After the maintenance fund has reached its goal, I'd continue to put money aside for the replacement fund, aka next capital purchase.

Thanks for that post. Need to make a tiny adjustment to my spreadsheet as a result. But better to know ahead of time.
