I'm still getting long van load offers, but they're mostly out of Texas. Just got off a San Antonio to Missouri load. And the one before that was San Antonio to Arizona ( the Arizona run seems to be getting more common). Just about every week in the past month there has been a 900 mile run...

The gallery is called 500X (the address is 500 Exposition Avenue)(just across I-30 from Fair Park). It's an artist run gallery. An alternative space for artists without representation to get a foothold in the art scene. Most of the artists are recent art school graduates. I don't have...

Well shoot, if you are in the Fair Park area, the art gallery I work with is in that neighborhood--www.500x.org. I'm on a load from San Antonio to Arizona picking up in a couple hours. Trying to get back to the gallery in time for a meeting on Sunday if routing works out. That will involve...

I liked using a master lock that had the shackle that slides out of the body of the lock. It has one of those adjustable type of shackles. I had to lock a side box that caught all the road grime off of the steer tires. I tried some good, expensive locks as I usually get what I pay for. In...

I think that is the value of something like a newsletter. Something as simple as a newsletter let's everyone involved know that there is something alive and breathing at the other end of the qualcom cable (something corporate, not just a crew of dispatchers). A group of faq's and meeting...

Yeah, I kept looking at the date of the post to see if it was the old post bumped up to the top. There is something about that neighborhood. It had it's own independent school district. They were last place in the state on the state test. They cheated so well that the very following year...

Turtle, that is the kind of place I would have expected it to be. I think people are going to just give up and not use features of this site if instructions are in obscure locations or completely nonexistent. So, yes instructions need to be in "gory form" somewhere, but maybe also have the...

No it's not a space as in a line to enter information. I just squeeze it in at that point, so everything is in one place. I try to keep anything related to the load on the one form taking care to not make anything too messy that will interfere with the billing folks. If need be two months...

Or better yet, anchor something like this in the general topics forum for a while. Just noticed that this thread is way down in the basement where it probably doesn't get much traffic. eb

Can anyone tell from my post count today that I had another dry run today? Think I'm batting less than .500 for Monday morning loads out of the Irving, TX UPS yard. eb

Hey, someone of authority, Could we maybe anchor this thread for a while. I finally just remembered how to use the quote marks and was about to post something about this when I decided to do a search for "search" first. Fortunately search isn't a three letter word. And it figures that it...

search technics Try running a search for--"cargo van", miles. When you see how much information comes up you'll see why many people are going to say that it's a topic already covered heavily. It might be a lot to read, but it is also a lot of material to retype. It took me a while to...

Pelicn, I even write down my pick up and delivery appointment times in the space below where the form is preprinted: P/U DATE, and DELV. DATE. This way when me and a shipper might be trying to "figure something out" I point to the times and say, "My dispatch says this is when I'm supposed to...

I think I already sort of do this. I have three copies of my pro form. Company no longer wants the original so I keep that. Consignee gets the back copy. And if for some reason the shipper wants a copy, I give them the middle copy that I usually end up throwing away. I typically have the...

Now that you mention it, Greg, I do remember seeing a barcoded ****roach. eb

So how many flowers can a bee tap in a lifetime? eb

At first I thought we were talking about layovers under load. For me that would be 48 hours. From the discussion, I take it that we are really talking about sitting in one place available for a load, so I won't ask for an exact definition of layover. City: San Antonio Days/Hours: 13 days...

I get most of my good loads in Texas that way. Sitting in Dallas or San Antonio. Mostly San Antonio, but still be ready to sit over the weekend. Unfortunately for me since the new year, I commit to my weekend appointments and beep, beep, beep--the barrage of 1000 mile loads that go entirely in...

No, I'm no longer on strike. Dispatch called with a load this afternoon, so I'm back at work. (: eb

Dispatch still hasn't called with a load offer, so I'm taking the strike into it's second day. eb
