    Loads that make you scratch your head. My load from NC to IN was one of those. 2 pieces of some car electronics. I arrived at the receiver and the guy that unloaded me started fussing at how stupid some people are for expediting this stuff since he has a few pallets of the stuff etc, etc. All I...

    I do pretty good out of Nashville. The problem with me is that I live only 120 miles from Nashville and I don't hang out there too long. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

    Rocky Mount, eh? Yesterday morning I delivered east of there almost to the Atlantic coast. After delivery, both Murray and myself were scratching our heads where to go. Finally I settled to head towards Raleigh. Not half an hour after I started towards Raleigh I get a text from Murray that said...

    Everyone loves Doritos

    I did. And you are right. It tastes quite good actually if you can somehow bypass the smell. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

    Happy New Year from my comfortable office at home. I will be back in service Sunday, hoping for a load Monday. I hope 2016 will be more profitable for all of my fellow expediters. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

    POLL Will you be home for the holidays?

    In service till 1800 pm. What Murray does in these few hours left till then determines if I will be home or not. Either way will be just dandy. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

    Happy holidays from my fur kid and myself!

    Nice pooch tk. This used to be mine, but he despises riding in cars and I gave it to my mom when I started expediting. Merry Christmas. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

    How low?

    This is not an issue for us expediters alone. I have friends and family in the big trucking business, flat bed in particular. Flat bed trucking seemed to be one area where the rates hadn't dropped at all until spring this year. Now they are all complaining about low rates and long layovers. It...

    Where's those Fedex logos?

    When I started with FedEx I had the big signs on my van. I don't even remember how many times I had people calling FedEx and police that there is a FedEx van parked here, blah, blah...See, overzealous people don't make a difference between FedEx custom critical and the other branches. Anyway...

    POLL Which Sprinter engine - 4 or 6 cylinder in your opinion.

    You don't have to buy diesel at a truck stop where diesel is that much more. Use Walmart, Kroger, QT, Racetrack, etc. For example, tonight I fueled up at Walmart in Sidney, OH. Diesel was $1.899 a gallon, only 9 cents more than gas, while the whole I 75 was full of truck stops where diesel was...

    POLL Which Sprinter engine - 4 or 6 cylinder in your opinion.

    For this year, over about 60k miles my fuel cost is 8.9 cents per mile. This is on my trusty 2004 sprinter. Maintenance added 2 cents a mile more. Anyone with a gas transit or promaster keeping records? I would be interested in your gas per mile cost for the year. I know moot keeps records, but...
