Spoke to an E-1 driver at the S. Tryon Wal-Mart Monday. No unit number, gray Ford van, with TN tag. The shocking part? He said he didn't know OVM!!! How can that be?

As of this month, I have been a member, in good standing(depending on who you ask), of EO. The only other things, that come to mind, that I have done longer are to stay married to the same lady(35 yrs. next May), and not drink(sober 23 yrs. next month). It has been an enlightening...

Picture?..........

My famiily, and I, were supposed to leave for the SC coast tomorrow morning. But, as you know, I've been in the hospital since Monday. My pulmonologist now says it will probably be Tuesday before I get out. I'm starting to think I might be sick!! You folks have a good and prosperous...

I request that my thread, Stop Smoking Now, be locked. I meant for it to lead to a discuusion about pros/cons of smoking/not smoking. It was not meant as a forum for property rights advocates to argue. I was trying to share what some of you have to look forward too, should you choose to...

Last Thanksgiving week I posted about being hospitalized with complications from COPD; a lung disease caused by smoking(90%). At that time, I suggested that stopping smoking might be a ggod idea(Ya' think?). Well, here we go again!! Went to my pulmonolgist yesterday(Tuesday), &, just like...

I'm spending this week supposedly regaining my strength, in order to be allowed to return to work next week. That stength thing is all relative; I'm not at all sure that I had much to start with! Anyhow, just wanted to tell all of you folks, thanks for the entertainment. Although I'm not in...

As I write this post, I am sitting on the edge of my bed, at Mercy Hospital, where I have been since Monday evening. Please forgive me, if I become "preachy". To save time, let me just refer you to a web search for COPD, and Emphysema. How I wound up in here for Thanksgiving is all outlined...

Since my "forced" retirement from expediting, I've been keeping up with the forums and all of the great topics you folks come up with, Now, I have a question: One of my co-workers is going to deliver an order to Charleston, SC, in a 24' Ryder truck. It is under 26,000 gvw. Does he have to log...

I have no idea how fast the grapevine works, but I felt that I should "officially" say good-bye to expediting. No, it wasn't the usual case of going broke, getting fired, or even getting angry and walking away. My knees got me! Came home on 08/10, went to my bone and joint doctor on the 11th...

I think I remember someone inquiring about how often a "D" unit got loaded(the truck, not the driver!!). I just ran the numbers from 09/01/2003-07/08/2004, and came up with 2.7 days between loads. I should point out that a lot of you would consider me to be "picky", but I don't consider that...

I've been at home since mid-December(had some surgery 12/19)so I've been "out of the loop". I hope to be back in service by this Friday, 12/23. Thought I would ask how you good folks have done since the first of the year? Historically, Jan. can be a "slow" month, but being a perrenial...

As some of you may remember, I have attempted to sell/lease my 2001, FL-70, a couple of times. I would like to ask if anyone has actually bought, or sold, a truck, on this website? As it says: Just curious.:) :)

There was recent posr regarding how each forum member, or guest, par-ticipates in the on going "debate", as it pertains to expediting. I just got home this afternoon, after two and a half weeks on the road. During this period, I don't believe I was in a place where internet access was available...

I've been at home for several weeks with a rather nasty bout with pneumonia: 6 days in the hospital, over $10,000 in medical bills, & off the road for 5 weeks, so far. So, before venturing back out on the road, I thought I would ask "How's it been going?" Especially for "D" units. Thanks for...

Does anyone have an idea for getting service on a Rigmaster generator? I'm in Charlotte, and would like to get it done while I'm home. Thanks in advance for your feedback. :-)

Now that I have given up trying to lease out my "D" unit(I just pulled my ad), I would like some input/feedback on the best course of action for "making it" as a solo driver, in this distressed market that we find ourselves in. I will most likely be leased to Landstar(I am familiar with their...

Last week, I finally received a reply from Canada, regarding the CDRP. It took over 2 months for them to reply, & then, much to my surprise, I was turned down. I won't bore you with all of the boring details, but I will give some info for you to base a reply: 1. Last traffic ticket: 1980...
