I've been messing around with spirit boxes lately. You can look that up on google. I asked if Phillip was still here with me in spirit let one of his favorite songs come on the radio. The next song; just like that, right after the commercial "Hungry Like the Wolf" from, Duran, Duran comes on the...

Then you will be bidding on hundreds of loads a day to barely get one load. It will take a long time, but a broker will be desperate and call you and that is where you have a chance to shine and gain your first contact. Usually shippers and brokers will not give you the good loads at first...

If they would just bring in better standards for carriers, it would eliminate a lot of the needless competition. But expediting is like the wild west. I guess it's going to remain that way for the a long time to come. The players change but the game remains the same.

I hope all are well and surviving this virus. I hope they open things up soon. I think May 1st is a good date to get things opened up. We can't stay closed forever. The disease is going to get to people no matter what we do. I'm hoping things will pick up for JIT loads once the automotive...

It's good to see you still out and about my friend. Are you still with Express-1? I can see now that in the current climate a long and tall vehicle is almost a necessity in order to be at the top of the pecking order. I was thinking about a build in sleeper, but I will opt to keep all of the...

She is most definitely not Ragmamma. The only reason Ragman has to dress like a hobo is because mama wears Prada. lol J/K

Democratic representative in Michigan thanks Trump for saving her life with Hydroxychloroquine. This has been fact checked and proven to be a true news story. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/491612-democratic-state-rep-thanks-trump-and-hydroxychloroquine-for-recovery

I wanna see Turtle bust into a shipper dressed up in one of those orange suits from the movie Outbreak lol. People be like "what the heck is this guy picking up?" Then ask the shipping clerk if the pallet from Wuhan is ready to go. lol Or this suit. Even more ominous looking.

This is what is driving me insane. I have broom, dusters, a Swiffer, vacuum cleaner and various other items I have to move from one building to another. Then after car is loaded and hands are washed and new gloves are on, I have to have one set on top pf those just to set the alarm codes, then...

My friends doctor became ill and had to phone all of his patients to let them know they needed to be tested. How sad. My doc is only seeing patients via phone until the peak comes down. That should have been the case for all vulnerable patients.

True. And this recommendation should have been made much sooner. I was watching a doc on the Joe Rogan experience. He said that a lot of medical professionals are still being advised not to wear face masks when seeing patients, because they don't want to scare people. Also, prison guards are not...

I remember when all you had to worry about when picking up loads in Detroit was getting shot, robbed, or stabbed lol. Now you have to go into the war zone and worry about a virus on top of all the other crazy things out there.

I guess that is to be expected these days. I would take all the loads, no matter what the rate is and they probably average out to a decent rate over time. I have never ever in my years expediting gotten loaded out of Laredo. Bolt was the first company that actually won me a load and it got...

Thanks for the input Vince. I appreciate it. I will start looking at the Promasters as well.

This is the last big post I will be posting for a while. This is also not meant to cause drama. I really want to know what kinds of loads/miles and rates you guys are getting at any of these three companies. I might have to beg John E to give me a chance with L-1. I'm genuinely interested in how...

A shiny van is good for one thing, you know how it has been driven since it's first mile, and you can keep it's appearance in pristine condition. Other than those two things, I would never buy new. I'm looking at 2 year old vans with 30k miles on them for around 24-27k. I am coming into a very...

You know you got tempted to hijack that load. J/K I once had air freight from O'Hare to somewhere in Ohio. The guy wasn't supposed to tell me what I was picking up, but he told me it was 14 million dollars worth of Pramipexol. I was scared to even stop to go to the bathroom. I thought people...

I think they say anything over 60 percent to 75 percent. For some reason I read that anything over 75 percent sounds like it will work better, but it is too high in alcohol content and will dry too fast. If the alcohol dries too fast, it won't be wet on your hands long enough to kill the virus...

You know what is sad though. My commercial cleaning company ordered 10 boxes of TP 96 rolls a piece before the panic buying started. They are now running low and cannot even find toilet paper from commercial janitorial sites, no more gloves, and all the cleaners that kill the virus are on back...
