Photobucket is great. That site saves me a lot of hard drive space.

Texas Rangers game in Arlington, whatever they call the ballpark these days That's all for ballparks. I have a few Civil War battlefields too, but it's hard to tell one from another.

Yankee Stadium. Reds beat the Yanks!!

Fenway Park.

A few more ballpark photos from around the country. This isn't all the ones I've been to, just the ones I've been to this summer. Dodger Stadium. Overcast day, but comfortable temperatures.

I go to a lot of MLB ballparks around the country. I went to Minute Maid Park in Houston last night. Here are a few random shots just taken from my seat. Maybe not up to Mike's standard, but I have similar shots from a few of the different parks I've attended since baseball...

That's pretty much it. People still think like employees and approach the business relationship as an employer/employee relationship instead of a business to business relationship. If you're leased on somewhere, you are a business providing a service to another business that is in turn...

I've been seeing an awful lot of employee speak on here lately. How many of you actually are employees? If you drive someone else's truck, then you are en employee...but of that truck owner, not the expedite company. But a lot of other people who are leased on to a company are speaking like...

It appears to be easier to get good rates for my Sprinter when I'm dealing with a customer who doesn't know what a Sprinter is, and there are still plenty out there like that. Anything too big for a cargo van is automatically a straight truck load to them and then I call and tell them that I...

Same here. Someone told me to watch my weight so I put it all out in front where I could see it easier.

I would suggest talking to a few more people. There are even a few people with Panther who are doing ok. I'm not exactly going broke in a Sprinter. I'm not going to hit six figures either, but I'm not doing that bad. This business isn't for everyone. There have always been people who failed...

I've often wondered about how many things I need to include as expenses when figuring out how profitable my business is. That's why I don't include my cell phone bill in those calculations. Sure, I'll take whatever deduction I can get for it, but if it's something that I would still be...

Maybe he's made some progress on that time machine.

To use the shelled one's analogy, a dollar is still a dollar no matter how it's broken down, and that's what I take into account when I bid for loads. I don't care what you call the money, it's still money and it still spends the same. A rose by any other name... Right now is a difficult time...

I will miss reading your posts. I would hope that you could offer generic information that isn't carrier specific, but you have to use your best judgment. Good luck.

I'll probably be there tomorrow. I just found a load back home, delivering ten miles from my house. I may run up to Wilmington in the morning.

I just saw an LTL paying $500 for 168 miles. Well, it was on an LTL board at least, but that sure looks like an expedite to me. Sadly it was already covered by the time I called.

I'm in Bloomington at the moment. If I don't find a load out of here, I'm going to deadhead home for the weekend. I only live 45 minutes from Wilmington, so if I end up heading home, I just might have to stop by there tonight or tomorrow.

Turtle should have used a hockey player so we wouldn't have to explain things to canucks.

A large percentage of his hits are homers. A lot of expediters sit and wait for the home run all the time.
