    Higher Down Payments

    There are two different issues, one is the loan agreement where in many cases says "not for commercial use" and insurance where a lot of policies will not pay out claims if they have a commercial rider policy as part of their offerings. On top of all of that, they don't have to pay out the full...

    loads and where did they go

    Bean would be the best thing to get, the life time thing makes it worth the money. Working with FedEx? Why? They don't care if you use their name when you work for them. The manual is all over other divisions and it used to be at green but ....

    Oh never thought he was a snob, it was just funny how everyone vacated as soon as I parked. I can't even consider Phil a snob, he and Diane have been cordial and inviting to talk to. Actually Layout, if some of those tighta** employees in green would send you an electronic copy of FedEx's...

    The important question is this; Does the original GM sticker say 10,000 lbs or does the upfitter's sticker say 10,000 lbs?

    Really? Oh that's right you and the others ran away when you saw me pull into the Monroe T/A lot a while back.

    loads and where did they go

    I understand what you are saying but I don't see it as a problem because I don't see a lot of expedite straight trucks falling apart while going down the road. Beside, you could look at mine and say it is junk because it looks like an older used truck. What is a higher quality carrier...

    That sounds like the same problem that GM had with their paint in the mid-90's. It turned out that the paint was too hard with primer problems and it would 'chip' by tiny rocks hitting the car, exposing the metal which would than rust. I think they were using Dupont product they started using in...

    What industry? This is what many of you want, an unregulated world where there are no p*ssing in cups to see what drugs you are on, no EOBRs or anything like that. If you don't want the mom/pop shops involved, then fight to get ride of the big companies that allow gaps in servicing the...

    loads and where did they go

    NOT actually true, competition within fleets is more of a factor than competition within the market. Junk or good equipment has less to do with service and the ability to haul the freight than it does within the fleet itself. The guy who has the old truck that is paid for can haul cheaper than...

    Well even if they do a finish them when they arrive, they are not bare metal nor are the without a 'top' coat as they are bodies in white. I would assume that if they are having problems, it may be with the adhesion of the primer coats that could be affected by the cleaning process of the bodies...

    Speaking Freely on EO

    This is really tooo tooo funny. I think for what ever reason Dave (bruno) decided to post about the other site may be valid to him but to me, it attracts people to that site to see what the big whoop is all about. I can't figure out how over there they think EO's end is near and how they are...

    US will seek oil in Alaska and Gulf of Mexico

    That's because he inherited all of this mess from FDR. Wow unemployment down like the dollar, great ... now I can get a real job. Actually he has great foreign policies, he continued Bushes and got ourselves in the middle of a civil war. As for banking and finance, the opposite is actually...

    Rust is a pain in the a**, I would recommend finding a shop that you can work with where you can 'suggest' products to use. Many of them will just sand it down, use a plastic float coat and then prime and top coat it without actually fixing the problem ... they know it will come back, that's...

    What carriers are taking on vans?

    Seriously? All motor vehicles require a form of liability insurance in all states, it is the basic PL/PD package in Michigan.

    Senator Opposes milage tax

    Well sometimes these other countries have better ideas than we do, we seem to be stuck in the same old box for the past 40 years. If you haven't noticed, licensing a car or truck in this state causes the same issue but we don't see people not being able to cough up the money for that. If the...
