    Front end lube

    Very good and informative post. I remember being very impressed at the TA near Salt Lake City when the lube guy jacked up the front of the truck to get the weight off of the king pins.

    Woman spanked at work sues and wins

    I read that story today,wonder what would happen if a man was spanked.Seems like Female teachers that seduce 13 year old boys get 6 months of house arrest, but if a Male teacher does the same he is looking at 12-20.

    Any one missing a P2 truck?

    Hopefully this is not a tragic situation but I have to wonder ,Why hasn't the Flying J management called Panther on this. You would think truck stops would have some type of red flag go off when a truck hasn't moved in several days.

    Lease purchase

    Jeff , if you are going to run as a solo driver it might be very difficult to come up with the payments each month. The HOS rules and mileage limitations that affect a solo driver severely limit your income.

    Greatest City to visit?

    Sorry but I grew up in the NYC area,you can have it and it wouldn't bother me if I never see it again. I vote for San Diego or Montreal. Key West is great but I don't think you can consider it a city.

    In this situaion, you would do...........

    Those of us that have been around with FEDEX for some years know that one of the most important pieces of information on a trip offer, "is the run confirmed". This means that someone on the delivery end said"yes we will be there at that time and will offload the freight". So when you show up and...

    Daughters and Dads things to do

    Years ago I did the Piddele thing,if you were riding with your girlfriend and you saw the headlight out and you said Piddele she had to kiss you. If she said it first you had to kiss her. Those were good times for sure.

    A History of Expediting

    Unfortunately negativity occurs.Question is why? There are strong personalities in this business as in every other one. Some individuals try to push their opinions on others with very little background or experience to support these opinions. Sometimes threats of possible litigation are made to...

    FEDEXCC

    My 2 cents, back in the Roberts days we were on a trip from Cleveland into Mississippi. At about 0600 near Memphis a driver for Land Air fell asleep and rammed us at about 85 MPH. The impact caused the rear of the truck to lift off the ground and wind up on his front hood. He woke up ,and...

    Expediters Hall of Fame

    Remember those old days of 62 and 46 %. Everyone was paranoid that the 46 percenters would get the offer first.How about getting put out of service for 2 refusals. On the other side they would buy you a motel room every night.

    straigt trucks/cube vans

    Many of the carriers have an age limitation on trucks that are just coming aboard. Your FL 70 would be a good choice but being a 1999 might hurt you.Also you didn't mention if the FL 70 had a sleeper,this is almost a must as motel bills would really impact your revenue.
