    Schneider Quoting Rates at $0.69 per mile.

    While we do need to have more info on what type of frieght is being quoted .69, what really needs to be seen is a company doing what it feels it needs to survive. Logical or not to you and me, it must make sense to Schneider. They are not here to play by your or my rules. Their game plan is...

    Schneider Quoting Rates at $0.69 per mile.

    This is just another version of "savy" business, in an attempt to survive. It is on the extreme side of business as it is a re-action to the economy. It may have been because of poor managment in the past or current financial environment this course is required.. Unfortunately, it is at the...

    Cavs sweep the Hawks

    The Hawks tried to defend their home court, just didnt have enough to combate the Cavs. At least the last two game were competitive. Now, will it be Orlando or Boston for the next test. I guess we will just have to wait and see. Go Cavs Go Cavs Go Cavs:D

    Is THis What You Expected

    Statistics lie, aint that what "they" say. Loaded mile rate. Deadhead miles. layover miles. If you arent adding all your miles up and dividing your gross pay by all the miles ( dhpl + dhpu + run ) you are playing games with yourself. Take your gross from last year and divide the total mile...

    The NHL Barons arrived in Cleveland for the '76-77 season. They barely hung on thru the '77-78 season and finally ( mercifully) they were sent packing to merge with Minnesota. I've only seen a few hockey games in my life, the Crusaders was not one of them. I did get to see the BlackHawks in...

    I wasnt aware that the NHL Barons ever played at the old Arena. About the time the new Barons arrived the Arena was slatted to be torn down. With the Crusaders history both the Cavs and the new Barons moved out to Richfield. Maybe there was a schedule conflict that ended up with the new Barons...

    Holy Thumping Batman, Cavs 2, Hawks 0. As much as I want a Championship in Cleveland, I would hope it will include some exciting games. These blow outs are a little dull when the final quarter starts and the entire starting five is on the bench resting for the next game. But, I WILL TAKE IT...

    Driving Etiquitte

    Cruise works okay in hilly terrain, for the most part. All you have to do is add a little to the pedal just before starting your next climb so that your speed and rpms dont drop and put you into passing gear. Yeah, it aint automatic,but some of the old timers might even commend ya on really...

    I'll be the first.....May Locations?

    Well some of just didnt have the same exciting career as you that took you to exoctic places and allowed you to see what others only dream about. So, I thought we'd try the zoo, seems safer than running into a lion or rhino face to face and then have to KILL it. We are doing good, running a lot...

    When I run along with TT that start to get huffy, I tell them I have a philosophy " I go up the hill at the same speed I go down". Sometimes they laugh, others times they get huffy and start up with "yeah , well I haul more than you" DUH...... Yeah, so what, I tell if they cant handle the hammer...
