Ummm....aliens? Ok, I'm sorry, Timberwolf - just wanted to see if I could make Moot eject an olive from the other nostril, lol:D

Quoting the Bible proves only that you can read - it doesn't prove that what you read is the truth. I wish you could have read a story I once read, by the mother of a 16 year old boy, who was so terrified of his attraction to the captain of his football team, that he committed suicide, rather...

KG: I can sure empathize with the 'pinball in an earthquake' feeling, (just ricocheting from one disaster to the next, sigh), and I hope your luck turns for the better, now.

And just lemme get THIS straight: the cops will just write a $500 ticket, for theft? So if you make sure to steal more than $500 worth of whatever, you can't lose, huh? :confused: What a world, indeed! PS I'd never check into a motel & leave valuables in the truck.....all the thieves would...

The question is, does the number of vans correspond to the number of van loads? Even 50 vans is too many, if they don't have the loads to keep them busy, and 500 isn't enough, if there's 600 loads, you know?

If the carrier promises a 750 mile run in 10 hrs, they better have a helicopter handy, cause it can't be done (safely, anyway) in a truck or van. I don't allow myself to be pushed into unsafe territory, or rushed into risky driving - nothing is that urgent, IMO. If it can't be done in a...

Is that your answer: just shut up? :confused: I don't see any debate on the subject at hand, which is whether the practice of customers tracking the freight was a good idea, or a practice (like labeling the 'Elite' trucks as such) that needs rethought. How on Earth can the QC help eliminate the...

I expect the carriers to promise ontime delivery, and that's fine, (long as we don't get in trouble by taking stupid risks to achieve it, as the Domino's people learned). If it can be done, we will do it. But encouraging the frequent tracking of the freight is IMO, an unnecessary waste of many...

Encouraging customers to track the freight: a valuable service, or a monster? I believe that the concept of the customer tracking the freight, from shipper to consignee, was dreamed up by some genius (and aren't they all?) in Marketing, then aggressively promoted, as a way to provide better...

Uniforms don't classify one as an employee, necessarily. And marketing an "Elite" service doesn't make it so, either - if the truck India saw was more than a rare misfit, the customers will catch on, no doubt.

You could, if it were your party, and you were Leslie Gore, but it's everyone's party, and you're not even Al Gore - so no, you can't. You could show up, though, and make us laugh, instead, eh? (Bring the hammock, and the chichi chinchilla accessories - that'll do it.) :D

Sad but true: when I met him, I had no idea he was a big deal, and it was years before I learned that he's famous: part of an Abbott & Costello routine, lol.:o

Sure wish you could change this one too, lol. I managed to stall it, (downshifting after a near panic stop in a truckstop, at 0300 - durn hotrodding bigrigs!:mad:) and had to hotwire it, to get it going again.) The radio is built in the back wall - apparently it was state of the art, back...

My point was, and is, that we aren't much help to newbies, if we can't answer the questions asked, at least, before pursuing our own agendas. Did the OP ask for information on successful financial planning, or expenses to be deducted from the gross income? He/she asked for something quite...

Yep - until they notice at HQ that they aren't getting those updates, and force you to visit your friendly qualified QC facility.... Moot, you really miss the QC? I miss it the way I miss my ex ... (but my aim is getting better, as the bumpersticker says) :)

That's funny, Joe, cause here at the TA, they said it'd take 3-4 hrs to change it.....and after having to show the "mechanic" where the points to hotwire it are, I believe it would. :eek:

Thanks, EB, for the ref - I'm actually in LaVergne, and will give Thompson a call tomorrow. Dave: I was driving a KW, and really, really miss it, sigh. Due to factors beyond my control, I've switched trucks (& owners), but am still with the same carrier. The current owner is on the lookout...

Can anyone suggest where to have a starter replaced on a Freightliner, in Nashville? I've heard too many horror stories about the dealers, to just choose the local one!:(

Summer is far better, because: 1) Cold winds make me cry, and my nose run. 2) Cold air makes my hands even clumsier than usual, and my skin dry & itchy. 3) The less clothing I need to carry, and launder, the better. 4) Food is better in the summer, consisting of more fresh produce, and less...

Breaking even does not a successful expediter make. Success being whatever an individual thinks it is, such categorical statements are an opinion not necessarily universally shared, and a judgmental one, at that. Good grief - the OP hasn't even got enough information to decide whether...
