The local Newspaper where i live had an article today that stated the economy would be in a upswing this spring.These are course ther economic Gru!s that said to buy Enron and Lucent etc. I always get amazed at how these 4th rate analysts can decide how and when the economy will respond. WE are...

It is listed on the Nasdag exchange under XMSR,first listing under X.

About 2 years ago I invested in XM and bought 200 shares of stock.I then watched it tank in the fall along with the other Tech Stocks but since they finally got it up and running the stock has rebounded nicely. I looked into getting a receiver but as Christy Rose said they are still a little...

Jeff, just a word of thanks to you and Laurence plus the others on the staff for giving us a great website to exchange ideas and information. I look forward to coming home,logging on and seeing whats going on in our world. While I have never met them I consider many of our colleagues on this...

To the best of my knowledge Expedex delivers mainly to Banking and Data processing operations that use tons of paper and preprinted forms.I thought they only used Comapny drivers and not O/Operators.

The maximum length in most states is 40 feet unless the truck is engaged in argicultral farming etc.If you look in the front of the Rand McNally atlas it gives each states rules as too length and weight.Big !Question is ,if and when you hit the lottery WHY AREYOU GOING TO CONTINUE THIS BS.

I use SpeedCo a lot because you can get in and out usually in 30 minutes.The best place I have ever found to get a PM job done is the TA Truckstop on I 80 about 20 miles west of Salt Lake City,Utah.If you ever go there ask for ROBERT to do the work.He even jacks up the front of the truck to...

I believe oif you are less then 10,000 pounds you are OK.If you are hauling HAZ/MAT you need to log iregardless of the weight.

I am not sure how the procedure works but you can apply for a Canadian Pardon and if you receive it you will be able to operate within Canada.Perhaps someone knows the procedure.Most of the expediting companies have safety departments that probably can instruct you in what needs to be done.Good...

RE: what do you want santa to bring you? I would like to have a brand new 1991 Mercedes Benz 1319 with a 190 HP ,5 speed that I used to own,it that never needed fixing and just ran and ran and ran,slow for sure but chugged along.i had a sleeper in the box,huge amounts of room and even had...

Both Bill and George are correct about Fedex CC.I have been with them since October of 1987 and stay because they simply put are the best of the worst. they have the freight nationwide versus a small regional carrier.There have been numerous times that I was going to quit including this past...

Over the years I have written many letters to Akron with suggestions that I felt would benefit both the company and the contractor and the total amount of replies was zero.So I stopped but it kinda irks me,when I was in middle management i didn!t always return phone calls but I felt that If...

After u go through the VRU nonsense go to Safety and ask for Virginia Albanesse,they will probably put you through. Virginia is OK,she has been with the company for many years,is quite competent and is Director of Safety plus Contractor Relations.

I have also never met Mr Thomas but probably at one time or another have passed him in the night somewhere in America.He was a fellow expeditor so my prayers and blessings also go to his family. Someone once said "Whether we drive a 18 ,10,6 or 4 wheeler our actions and attitudes can make a...

If my few remaining memorey cells are functioning correctly about 8-9 years ago on a Saturday a dispatcher double dispatched a load in the Akron area,meaning he sent 2 trucks to cover it.When the 2nd truck arrived and the run was gone,the dispatcher blew the guy away with some inane excuse and...

I run the Western States frequently and carry a set of chains in the truck as some states require you to have them period. However they have never been out of the bag and I have no idea how to put them on.My personal feeling is if the State highway DOT believes that conditions require chains my...

I do believe it!s doable.all of us could put together a very large customer data base.There is a a great deal of experience in both expediting and business knowledge on this site. When Lawerence first started this site I along with a good friend thought that eventually Expediters On Line would...

The GROSS income figures you mentioned are very realistic.We have been a D team for many years and never have done less than $7000 and we have had many months where we have done $12,000. This year we had 1 month where we did $19000 but that was a exception. I think you can plan on a average of...

Well Bill after seeing you in that Santa Claus oufit,perhaps your ex wife has a valid point.Therapy and lots of adult beverages would probably be needed, but on the other hand perhaps her ways brought you to 400 lbs.. LOL now lets see what the females on this site have too say..Stay safe
