    Classified ads

    A lot of people do not remove the ad after they are no longer selling, looking for a driver etc. I think that is why you get so many people who do not answer.

    Why do Christian drivers...

    I believe God understands that people are not perfect. I may be off base but I feel for some reason when you see a person professing their faith via lettering or something you read it as saying "I am a christian who makes no mistakes and am perfect." I see it as saying "I am a christian and do...

    Why do Christian drivers...

    That in no way shape or form makes them breaking the law in the name of God as you claimed. Seems to me your attempting to place people who are proud of their faith in a different class than average drivers. That is why this entire thread is off base.

    Why do Christian drivers...

    Where did you come up with that one? Never heard a truck driver say "I am going to speed in the name of god" Christians are people too they do not take a magic pill when they wake every morning that makes them invincible to temptations. Everyone faces challenges and a christian is no different...

    Why do Christian drivers...

    Why then is it that you see sooo many T/Ts without these religious markings plastered on their sides speeding (10mph plus over the posted speed limit) and breaking other laws of the road? Is a christian or maybe someone sitting on the fence deciding to become a non-christian supposed to look up...

    The Granddaddy of all expediters...

    I think moonshiners and rum runners were the first expediters or maybe it was the pony express.

    People are people, you have all types in every walk of life it has nothing to do with their christian belief.

    staying warm?

    By the time you buy the Honda and an aux. fuel tank to last the night you will not be that far from the Espar. The Honda could also run air in the summer so it would be more versatile.

    Voting for the Expediters Hall of Fame

    Add me to the killjoy list. Just do not see the point of the whole thing. People are not well enough known in this industry to even begin such an endeavor. Sure you got a few of the early company people then what? I would guess most of those that could be considered as contributing to the...

    Experienced courier, but green at expediting.

    Reading your list of requirements I would have to say your chances of filling them is almost 0.

    Sprinter 3500

    Many carriers that say they will not accept over five years will. You have to show them it is in good shape and reliable but many can be convinced.

    DOJ sending "observers" to AZ to make sure ILLEGALS GET TO VOTE

    Not all states have a voter id law. Some states that had them they have been struck down. Arizona had one I believe for registration that parts of were struck down by the 9th circuit court of appeals this past week after being upheld by other courts. Appeals court strikes down voter ID law

    cargo van weight limit?

    You need to check with the actual carrier. If they truly expect you to be able to carry at least 2500 you need to look elsewhere. A full tank of diesel fuel is going to weigh about 186lbs add that to your weight and you can see were you stand already. A few tools a cooler some clothes.....
