    What is the negative side of expediting?

    I personally feel that the straight truck is the best place to enter the expedite industry. You'll be more profitable and have a better chance of survival. There are just so many vans out there...always have been. It's the easy way in and that makes for a lot of over capacity. I drive a van now...

    Some new info on Ford Transit.

    Yes, for me personally, I would love to see a scale ticket with it just like it is in the pictures. That will answer the weight question on the ultra/terra maxx units.

    on the road again

    Welcome to Load One! Now, as a person who has had severe burns before myself, a little advice. I'm sure the burn specialists have told you, but I want to emphasize it again. You can never "stretch" too much. As your skin heals, it has to be stretched constantly. Especially the fingers, wrist...

    What is the negative side of expediting?

    Good job. There are plenty of people here willing to share information with you. You have to be willing to listen to it though. Nothing wrong with coming up with some ideas, but you have to remember that it's likely been kicked around before. Sometimes it has been beat to death even. The cube...

    John, some ideas. I think these are what their asking for. I know I wouldn't mind paying a little extra for a nice shirt with a L1 logo on it. If their not in the catalog, I'm betting your supplier could come up with something. Hi Vis Polo Shirts with Reflective Tape along the shoulders...

    Some new info on Ford Transit.

    Nice! Please, put that truck on a scale. There is a lot of confusion over what the single wheel trucks actually weigh.

    What is the negative side of expediting?

    It won't work. Believe me, if it would work, you would see dozens of them being used in expedite. There is a reason why they are not being used by expediters, it's not because none of us have looked. It's because we have looked and we know it doesnt work. If you find one of the 12' single...

    Some new info on Ford Transit.

    Moot, if your interested in it, I would give them a call. I actually drove over there and looked at the ultramaxx last year and they are good people to talk to. Don't make the mistake of judging their product by their ability to operate a website...imo :) I'm not so sure that they don't still...

    Mailbox at T.A.

    Im fairly convinced that asking any truckstop employee about stuff like this...even the manager...is a waist of time. You can probably get just as accurate info at the liars table in the restaraunt.

    Some new info on Ford Transit.

    That looks similiar to the HCV vans, except that it looks like the entire body is probably aftermarket instead of just the upper half. The HCV's left a little to be desired where the fiberglass cap joined with the metal ... imo. This looks like a nice unit for those not requiring the length of a...

    The women in the office and the drivers might really appreciate some pink caps and t-shirts. I have a friend who used to sell caps and t-shirts. He told me once that the pink stuff was one of his best sellers and the ladies really appreciated the availability of such. I seldom wear a cap...

    Update on scott's xxiv24 surgery.

    Just so ya know. My mother had cancer something like 15 years ago. They did a hysterectomy on her. She hasnt had a single sign of cancer since. She is 73 years old now and still pretty agile. We all know that there has been HUGE advancements in technology over that 15 year period too. Her worst...

    Shore Power

    Just a suggestion, but I dont see anything in Laredo or ElPaso Texas. You do realize that those are probably 2 of the biggest markets in the nation for this kind of service? Not only is it hot down there, but as a rule, it takes a few days to get a load out of there once we deliver. There are a...

    Guys and gals, I'm pretty sure everyone here feels bad for you. But, personally, if I were in Lawrence or Dale's shoes I would have locked these threads a couple days ago. Threats of violence and wild accusations would make me very nervous and give me liability concerns. I would also give a...
