    can there ever really be security after this

    #1 anyone who thinks a cell phone call is secure is not thinking. #2 this has been cracked a long time ago. #3 it is time to revise our way of thinking about privacy. #4 I thought this was about the um ... terrorist attack and the fact that it was told to us yesterday that there are hardly...

    Daimler Vans USA , LLC new for Sprinter

    Piper, I got all that, thanks. My annual MB training package was received today for the 2010 models, a little late but it has a revised schedule in it and new price list. I haven't even opened it up, so who knows what they are offering to 3p shops. I noticed that in an email sent out by...

    Year of the truck

    I like what I heard this afternoon "real companies don't care a frick what year the truck was built but if it can be on time" xiggi has a very good point, call first.

    Daimler Vans USA , LLC new for Sprinter

    Aren't they already? The big question is how many MB dealers will actually like seeing commerical traffic enter their place?

    Daimler Vans USA , LLC new for Sprinter

    Stop thinking GM v. Ford. It is close to the same as a sprinter - has to be in the market it is designed for. The sprinter type van I think has 15 different brands across the EU market that are competing with each other. You are thinking about the connect, which I think is typecasting the...

    Daimler Vans USA , LLC new for Sprinter

    Beef up? You haven't seen one, it is the same, no make that better than a sprinter. They have talked about a 10k gvw model which is a SRW, imagine that - nearly the same curb weight as your 2500 but can carry 1450 more weight.

    lawsuit filed for arrow employees

    So this may be not as good as it seems. By the time it makes it to court with the court costs are calculated and the lawyers get their cut, the employees may end up with a couple thousand and that's it. It may be a better thing if each employee actually files suit individually under the same...

    Daimler Vans USA , LLC new for Sprinter

    I think the market may be tired of the 'Sprinter Sprinter, who's got the Sprinter?' style of marketing that has gone on and should open up more opportunity for Fiat and Ford.

    Reefer Running Cost, how do you figure it?

    Thanks Dave, A chart like you are talking about was brought up but no one seems to have been able to find where to get it from and I haven't thought much of it, do you have one in electronic form you could send me?

    Reefer Running Cost, how do you figure it?

    I was asked this morning about the different ways to figure out the operating cost of a reefer. I explained how I figure against the money I need for my maintenance account and the drive time hours plus 12% of uptime for warm up (cool down) plus the cost of fuel into the tank (not Reefer fuel)...

    What doyou think Expediting will be like in 2010?

    John, Here is the problem, the ROI wont be realized for at least two year to three years out with what I am talking about. This is not about logistics management through new technology (like trend forecasting) but rather real time transaction and fleet management system. for example; if the...

    30-day wait for verification is non-sense

    Never heard of that law, here I have to give info on whether or not someone was employed and do it in a timely manner but I don't have to say anything beyond "yep he worked here".

    Some wish to destroy

    Actually we did have something like eight times the amount of combat troops on the ground but we can't forget the size of the country we were fighting. Our operations in the Middle East are still smaller than say North Africa. Well not really, the manpower is less than we had during the...

    Maybe Another Try?

    Even though this is a small event in comparison to some of the others but you haven't watched other presidents when something happened? I even think Clinton had the audacity to "wing it" with some events and did well with out staging the event to make him look like the messiah to assure the...

    Have a job but No Truck... HELP Please...

    I'm concern because I do not to see another failure. It does bring up an important question - why are you so h*ll bent on getting back into this business by owning a truck? If you haven't screwed up in the past, then you will have an easier time finding an owner than if you went to the "I need...

    Maybe Another Try?

    Yea ... right ... concerned ... I think he has shown the world that he had to get briefed, then had a speech written for the TP and then arranged a full press conference was about concern.

    Touring a 80 year old factory making model T's

    Thanks for posting the link. I understand Ford may release the color film of the Rouge in 1930, that is a cool film to see. It details a lot of his "green" projects and actually follows the production of a model A with details. It is all color and when I saw it in '93, it was really sharp...

    Cargomaxx vans

    I don't remember if this question was ever answered, what is the actual curb weight of the vehicle with this package on it. All we got was "The body weight is 2,120 lbs. for the Gas or Diesel unit. The shipping weight from GM is 4,873 lbs" (5,381 for the diesel) which tells me nothing except...
