Got 14 inches here in Moraine (South Dayton). Shoveled the driveway three times last night and three times today! I live about 1000 feet off I-75 at Exit 50. We listened to the scanner and CB. What a mess! Accident reports still coming in at 11:00PM and it stopped snowing at about 4:00PM...

Pandering to one group as opposed to another was the point. I was reared by a Filpino stepfather, but I don't find Lechón [emp mine] Baboy in the meat counter at Wal-Mart. (Emphasis added was mine now that we are critiquing every aspect of my posts.) Oh, and so I won’t be falsely accused of...

Truck Tonnage Is Up! The latest seasonally adjusted increase marked the third sequential gain, totaling 5.7 percent. The tonnage index stood at 117.3 (2000 = 100) in January, a 26-month high. Tonnage was also up 5.3 percent from a year earlier, which was the largest year-over-year gain since...

Keith Naughton NEWSWEEK Mar 1, 2008 As Arwa Hamad strolls a new Wal-Mart, an eight-foot display of olive oil stops her in her tracks. "Oh, wow," she says, marveling at the sight of so many gallons of Lebanese extra virgin. "We could go through one of these in a week in my house." Around the...

I use GasBuddy.com - Find Low Gas Prices in the USA and Canada. They provide pricing for diesel and gasoline. Moreover, you can get information based upon specific time frames. For example: 4 hours ago, 8 hours ago, 12 hours ago...etc. They also offer a Fuel Logbook, Wireless cellular info...

Ditto! A just balance is my goal. The stuff stays here after I am gone. You can't take it with you. The more I chased the money, the less time I had for family and friends. Last week I delivered in Charleston, SC on Friday at 5:20am. I didn't get another offer so I called friends in...

Anyone have a 15 foot Aercell on the GM DRW 10,000lb GVWR chassis with a 6.0L engine? If yes, could you tell me what the empty weight of that combo is excluding the driver, personal items and fuel (less than 1/4 tank)?

Agreed! And you are welcome to have every bit of Winter to which the northern tier is subjected. Help yourself to every snowflake and the sub zero temps! ;) I don't even go to Michigan until April. :D

I am not certain as to why there is a three letter restriction, but I did enter the words: "vans" and "taxes" and they seemed to work nicely. PS. I also clicked on "Posts" as opposed to "Threads" when initiating the search for those words.

Thank you Fastman_1 for your introspective post. I only spent a few hours in the dispatch areas of two major carriers and that experience validates your comments. It is a very difficult job! When a driver calls into dispatch, he or she is only dealing with one person directly. The dispatcher...

Personally, I would stay with FedEx Ground considering the current climate in the transportation industry. The Landstar info in the previous post was accurate. Even with expedite experience I found it difficult to transition over to Landstar. A team operation utilizing a van with a sealed...

Your turn, I was in the Charleston area for 5 days last week.:D

16 tons and what do you get, Another day older and deeper in debt. Saint Peter don't call me cause I can't go, I owe my soul to the company store.

First, although I am saddened by the unfortunate demise of Mr. Hoffa, I would reject any attempt to have him involved in my business. Second, most farmers I know are so overweight that they have joined a health spa in an attempt to lose the extra pounds bought about by technology farming...

Those of us who are actively engaged in the transportation industry, or have been, or those who have an interest in possibly getting into the business, all share some common ground based upon that aspect alone; therefore, a modicum of professional courtesy should be extended toward one another...

Welcome to the "Left Coast" San Mateo this morning. So.....you want to take your auto industry buyout and jump into the freight business? Be careful. I'll be more willing to help you put together a highly fuel efficient truck to help offset the ever increasing costs that are a huge...

No problem Mr. Goodtude. John Wesley was persecuted by clergymen and magistrates. He was attacked in sermons and in print and at times attacked by mobs. He was denounced as a promulgator of strange doctrines, fomenter of religious disturbances; as a blind fanatic, leading people astray...

Agreed! Personally, I believe that not only a nationwide cell phone should be required, but also a working headset should also be included in that requirement. When everyone is wired, any company can set up an auto dialer system that will call the driver's cellular phone and upon answering a...

“This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better. This young man is capturing audiences of black and brown and red and yellow. If you look at Barack Obama’s audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed. A black man...
