.20 cents per mile is my minimum in a cargo van UNLESS it is time to go home, then I MAY consider an adjustment. You should be able to average that number. I think the Panther ad says .77 cents per mile.

FedEx Corp. Thursday reported a higher first-quarter profit from a year ago, but cut its full-year forecast by 4% due to overall economic volatility and high energy costs. Net income for the quarter ended Aug. 31 rose to $494 million or $1.58 a share, from $475 million or $1.53 a year earlier...

Yes to the 300hp. Agree on the initial price differential being narrower. The power to weight ratio wouldn't be an issue depending on how one operates the unit. BUT, consider this most important factor...after purchase operating expenses. We continue to see numerous posts on here about M2...

FIS53 If not a Walmart in Canada, what would be your next choice? Last week I went 401 to 416 past Ottawa and I do not remember seeing any truck stops on 416.

Obviously, every store is different. No new thing under the sun. The Bible tells us that things are managed and operated differently. Paul writing to the Corinthians said, 1Co 12:5 And there are differences of administrations,...1Co 12:6 And there are diversities of operations... Therefore...

Hmmmm. I watched the Slush Buster Video and that constant bouncing over a immovable object has to cause strain on the entire wiper system. I can't imagine that they would be very easy to remove and considering the fact that my wipers are on 90%+ of the time for rain, that markedly increases...

Not much to think about in my humble opinion. Hino = Toyota = Quality = Trouble-Free Driving "It's a Toyota...you can't kill em'" Freightliner service centers are extremely high on their charges. If you do go with Freightliner make sure to take out two loans. One for the truck payment and...

Amen! The net return to you can be measured above and beyond the obvious. 1. Speeding violations cost you money when you pay the fine and/or legal fees. 2. Additionally, speeding markedly reduces your fuel economy and you will pay again at the pump. That is a double whammy! On the other...

Dropped off at the consignee, called headquarters for an E-Manifest (Cover Sheet - going back empty) and they faxed it over to the consignee's fax in 5 minutes. Correct! My apology for not using verbiage that correctly stated it only requires a cover sheet coming back empty.

Back in the early 60's I remember seeing a sign as I entered an Air Force Base. It read, "Arms For Peace." Things were stable back then. Then the mood of America changed and the signs were replaced with a new sign that read, "Peace Is Our Profession." Enter Vietnam, Panama, Nicaragua...

I have always been apprehensive about Canada loads. After sitting a day I got an offer I couldn't refuse. The shipper did everything; prepared the PARS paperwork, faxed the broker and confirmed with a phone call to the broker and away I went. 692 miles! Crossed at Alex Bay about 4:30am. Not a...

The Genuine “Islam†For All True “Moslems†The following are the official Moslem teachings from the Holy Koran, as given by an “Imam†and published by the official publishing house for all genuine Islamic publications: Lahore Inc. with publishing houses in India, England, and the...

Actually, we all make judgments everyday. You decided this morning to have coffee for breakfast instead of bleach. Why? You weighed the effects of both and judged which one you should drink. You turn your headlights on at night instead of driving with them turned off. Why? You discerned the...

Ditto! Here's a good one. My mother-in-law, who actually tried to stop me from marrying her daughter, actually called every U.S. Congressional Representative from Ohio and voiced her concerns about this program. Way to go mom! PS. The resistance to our marriage is a few years behind us now...

Here is a quick link to access your senators by state. http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm "If you don't speak out, then you don't have anything to say about the way things go."

Oh how quickly we forget! What convenience store mentality. Folks can't wait a minute for gratification...let alone offer support for those who doing what they have called to do. "We want the world and we want it now!" (Jim Morrison) Go gotta now, things to do, can't wait, no cash just...

Can I get an XM unit that does require me to mount an external antenna? I don't want to have a magnetic mount on the roof and tha cable laying across the roof. Any suggestions?

I bought a Cobra 75 WX ST All-in-handset Mobile CB. The power source is a small 5" square box that is mounted under my seat. The antenna coax plugs into it and the handset too. All of the controls, microphone and speaker are in the handset. I just have the handset cable coming out from...

Again, you have to go to the Title Bureau and get the Exemption Form before you take delivery of the van, or before you go into the BMV to buy plates. Fastman, my friend bought his van just before I got into expediting. His sales person never even sold a cargo van before, but he had sold my...

Terry, You are 100% on the Not-For-Hire aspect. The first paragraph from the Ohio Tax Code does not apply to us. I copied that in error. It is the second portion of the Tax Code that allows the exemption in Ohio. Again, you have to go to the Title Bureau and get the Exemption Form before you...
