    Fox no longer a news organization

    I have no doubt. That is why I think it is hilarious all the talk that the republicans have all the money.

    Democrats will have to get cracking to keep up.:cool:

    Fox no longer a news organization

    Money controls politics. We are at the point that one must be corrupt to some degree, just to have any chance of winning. Big money buys candidates. When their candidate is elected, those paying demand their favors. Sadly not much is going to change until you have a candidate that can win...

    Fox no longer a news organization

    Where in the world do you get this stuff? Both parties are guilty of "being in bed" with Wall street. And at the top of the heap, is Obama. He has taken more from Wall Street than any other president including Bush or Reagan. Don't get me started on Hillary.lol. Democrats just like republicans...

    No Go Zones: really?

    Even though it is somewhat slanted on political stuff, it is pretty good.

    Hi

    Welcome to EO. I guess I should ask, should you have the work lined up before getting the van?

    Electrical issue

    It is a common problem. The only other place to look is the bulkhead module to ensure all the wire connections are good. Also, make sure you are using the correct bulbs. Some put higher rated ones in and they burn/short the connections.

    No Go Zones: really?

    I think it depends. For world news I usually will check BBC and for political stuff, often times it is Cspan because there is no commentary. For real news I watch Fox. :cool:

    Electrical issue

    Likely the turn signal switch. They don't last long. May have to replace the contact block if it is bad. That is the part on the column where the actual turn signal switch plugs into. Dielectric grease will help, but only to a point once they are worn down. I repaired one by using jewelry tools...

    Fuel surcharge cargo vans

    Most of the time you have to look at the true cost point. For example, using Panther, their straight fuel surcharge is 19 or 20 cents. Certainly not among the higher fsc that others get paid. But I have to look at what we are really paying . Looking today, the retail price at Tuscaloosa, AL TA...

    Why soo slow????

    Yep, that is one of the places I looked. Much less last year during periods of weather extremes.

    Why soo slow????

    The volume of freight is basically the same. What is different is we don't have the real cold and bad weather of last year. So I would say there are more trucks out there this year.

    Premium Transportation Logistics

    John would be the guy to talk to. He has always been a straight shooter and has been around for a pretty good stretch.

    Mbe engine air brake compressor ?

    That is true. You will know more at that point, but I think even with that, you should be able to stay well under 1800. Good luck.

    Load One

    Let me try to help. The definition of those "bells and whistles" is about 100k.:cool: With that said, you have to find the best balance you can. That is the biggest hurdle our industry and others have. Trying to operate year after year for essentially the same money. That is why you have many...

    Mbe engine air brake compressor ?

    I believe those have a Bendix so 1800 sounds high. As suggested, I would shop that part and figure 5 to 6 hours on the labor. If it is keeping the air up, just might need one of the valves or governor replaced? Whole lot cheaper. I would start there since it was fine until you changed one of the...

    Buckeyes Riot Burn Destroy Property, Not A Thug In Sight

    I would agree with that. Imagine had he not done that and just refused to indict Wilson. But I also agree that once that was decided to use a grand jury, it was pretty much political theater to obtain the desired results.
