    Food for Thought

    I love YRC. I move a lot of their "Expedited" freight. XYZ COMPANY: Ring..."Can you (YRC) deliver two skids of parts from our plant in East Uhunga to a location 500 miles away within 12 hours?" "Yes, we have a truck (TT) within 5 miles of your location that will be there to pick up those...

    Beware in Dallas

    A Remington 870 Marine Magnum Pump Action 12 gauge with an 18" barrel makes a highly visable deterrent...even in subdued lighting. A highly durable 12-gauge utility gun that resists corrosion on land or water. Electroless nickel plating covers all metal, including the inside of the barrel and...

    Own Authority and a Leased Operator

    Frank, Many carriers permit Lease Owner/Operators to also have their own authority. I thought that I read a post indicating that having reportable income from both of these sources during a tax year would somehow generate a closer scrutiny by the IRS. Any thoughts?

    Qualcomm Antenna

    Leo, That's where I saw the QC mounted inside a straight truck cargo box. As you know, I was at Landstar for a short period of time. Their QC installer was a contractor, but he was very diligent and did quality work. With the 3/8" wood panels mounted to 2 x 2 aluminum uprights, I am thinking...

    Rain-X

    MSinger, In lieu of any more delays, no thanks to American Axle, it looks as though we have been able to locate a properly equipped chassis to go with an Aerocell. It wasn't a 100% replica of my ordered chassis, but probably in the 90% range. It doesn't have a power driver's seat or...

    Inverter or Generator?

    Have you any info on high efficiency electric heaters that could be powered by a gas generator? Colonel, I am speaking of a portable (Honda type) generator, not an APU. Just wanted to make sure we is on da same page. ;)

    Qualcomm Antenna

    Nada. It is a stock photo used as an example to see if anyone out there could tell me where, or if, the QC can be mounted inside and under the non-metallic roof. Moot, if I got a hardwood floor in the van before my wife gets hers in the kitchen, I'd be living in the van permanently! :D I...

    Bob Tail Insurance on Cargo Van

    Check out the Home Page here on EO. I use Transport Insurance Agency. They have competitive rates and they allow me to pay by credit card. The payment method buys me a little additional coverage and I get the "Cash Back" benefit from my credit card. Hint: I never pay interest or usage...

    Inverter or Generator?

    Inverter: Usage is limited to the battery capacity. May cause interference with electronic devices. Easy to use. Expense to install? Cost to replace batteries? Generator: Portables require refueling; hence, a fuel container too. Not the easiest to use. Usage only limited by...

    Qualcomm Antenna

    Greg, I believe you were referencing the roof over the seats in your post. This is a full walk through. The roof of the cutaway chassis is literally "cut-a-way". I thought I saw a QC bracket on the side wall, up against the bulkhead, in a straight truck. I believe the installer told him...

    Qualcomm Antenna

    The roof of an Aerocell cargo body is not metal so can you mount the QC antenna (dome) inside the cargo box? I remember seeing a straight truck getting the antenna put inside the cargo box because it had a non-metallic roof and I wonder if any Aerocell owners could help me with this question.

    Barack who?

    By Mark Alexander Though Clinton has pledged to “fight to the convention,” having pulled out all the stops she and hubby Bill could muster to sink Obama, the once seeming inevitability of her nomination has faded to black, and she may drop her bid by June. So, that leaves us with Barack...

    Fuel Mileage in Cargo Vans

    For the exact reasons you mentioned everybody wants to become a cargo van expediter. The key word is "Everybody". You'll simply be limited by the numbers; that being too, too, too many cargo vans in service. And you can't discount the "Learning Curve". It's going to take time to figure out...

    Rain-X

    I pulled the wiper blades away from the windshield so I could apply the Rain-X to every available square inch. After washing the truck, I then cleaned the windows with Rain-X Window Cleaner (Spray Bottle available at Walmart) before applying the Rain-X Window Treatment. Thanks for the tip...

    FEDEX CC Recruiting unresponsive!

    What type of unit? Cargo van? Don't expect a call. C or D unit more than three years old. Don't hold your breath. Less than three year old Tractor. I think your phone is ringing. Make sense? Nuff said?

    BAKKEN Oil 500 Billion Barrels

    Won't it be a grand day when everyone who believes that increasing prices at the pump are solely the result of the "Big, Bad, Old" oil companies. You know, those same companies that buy on the "Spot Markets" where the speculators have run up the price. Well, I guess some folks think the oil...

    Rain-X

    What's your opinion? I tried it on my windshield and it really does allow me to run in certain weather events without turning on the wipers, but when I do turn on the wipers they hesitate (jerky motion at the bringing of the stroke) as if they are hitting sticky spots. Moreover, their is a...
