    another dumb question

    The letter designations are in inverse proportion to the vehicle size: A is a minivan, (I've never actually seen one of those), B is a cargo van, C & D are small & large straight trucks, (not sure where the division falls), and E is a tractor/trailer. Additionally, C, D, & E may be designated...

    This takes the cake!

    I believe it would serve expediters very well to develop their own set of reaction drills, like: -React to sudden illness while on the road -React to an accident where you are seriously injured -React to a crisis at home that requires your immediate return -React to a truck breakdown in a...

    This takes the cake!

    Amen, Leo. (That's why I didn't think twice about sitting out the ice follies in Ky, a few days ago - no freight is worth risking your life. Situations that call for delays don't happen very often, so I felt no guilt about a late delivery, either.) Speaking of feeling guilt - I hope the...

    I am p**sed off, literally!!!or maybe litterally!!!

    My advice, then, would be to have neither food nor beverage in transition, when reading a post by Moot - the carbonated beverages burn like the dickens, coming out your nose!:D

    I am p**sed off, literally!!!or maybe litterally!!!

    The reference to a lack of humor was meant for the Customs officers, checking laptops for pornography - if they don't recognize a photo like the one above as funny, it could cause trouble, ya know?:eek: Phil made a comment once that cracked me up, something about waving to an official, with...

    Fazing out single drivers?

    There will always be a need for solo drivers in expediting. Sure, the carriers and owners would like to have teams only, but I'd like to have 2000 miles every week, and all easy loads, too - but it isn't gonna happen, and for the same reason: reality. Good teams can't be pulled out of a hat when...

    Look, a tornado...now what do we do?

    Coco makes an excellent point: if you have only seconds to grab whatever you cannot replace, you'd better know what to grab, and where it is. I haven't done the simple chore of making a list, even, of what I consider irreplaceable, much less attempting to secure it safely, and I resolve to move...

    I am p**sed off, literally!!!or maybe litterally!!!

    Gotta agree with Turtle: if you don't read the posts, you may be adding a comment that's already been made. and made again. And then, again. And yet, again. Nothing spells boring like repetition, and almost nothing kills a website or thread faster than boring. Since ATeam doesn't read my...

    Hi all!!!

    Hi, Chris, and welcome! :)

    What are the best areas for freight?

    Express1man: please don't get all defensive, when the replies aren't what you hoped for - the problem is that you're so new that you asked the wrong question, you see? (And yes, we were all there once, too, but some of us were more prepared, having found this site, read all the General & Newbie...

    The ratings are an option that can be disabled, if a member chooses. As Terry pointed out, it's not about popularity, but the value to the Forum, and the ability to opt out distorts the system, and defeats the purpose. Just my opinion, but if you can't handle the feedback, you really ought...

    Snow Man In Minessota!!!

    Alborado, I don't know about vodka - he lives near Minneapolis, and likes martinis, so I guess he could be home, and in a hot place, at the same time, eh? ;)

    Snow Man In Minessota!!!

    Col, it's currently 5 degrees outside (windchill of -11) I just fueled the truck, and am not strolling any further tonight than from the bed to the driver's seat! It took 25 minutes to start the generator, and after nearly an hour, it's up to 42 inside, now. It'll be toasty, soon enough, but...

    Snow Man In Minessota!!!

    Alborado: Moot is the last person on Earth who would refuse to help anybody - last time I was in Minneapolis, he came to the truckstop, just to put a bumpersticker on my truck, because he remembered me saying it had a "plain white box", lol. I think he misunderstood your post, is the problem...

    Snow Man In Minessota!!!

    Hey dere, Moot, how cold is it in the Twin Cities tonight? I just got back in my truck, after leaving it parked all day in Seville, and it was 22 INSIDE the truck!!:eek:

    I am p**sed off, literally!!!or maybe litterally!!!

    Urine is sterile, until it it exposed to air, which is simultaneous with exiting the body. At that point, it is both a biohazardous substance, and one of those 'bodily fluids' we'd all rather not be exposed to. Maybe the friendly approach has worked for Turtle, but I personally would not want...

    Bad News

    As he has every right to be - such delays are unacceptable. Having been on the caregiver's side of the desk, I can assure you that a proactive family is a benefit to the patient. You don't want to get obnoxious, but politely and firmly insisting that the patient's needs be met promptly, should...

    I am p**sed off, literally!!!or maybe litterally!!!

    You're braver than I am, Turtle! Or maybe more trusting of strangers? Psychopaths look uncannily like ordinary folks, though.....:eek: I would not confront a man about his disgusting behavior, for my own safety. I understand the problem of, say, a wrong truck number - but those of us who have...

    To ignore it, is to give tacit approval - please speak up!

    Seen it all ????

    I confess I was just a mite skeptical, the first time I was given a motel room, as the delivery address, but it's happened a couple times, along with rental storage units, and one exactly like Moot's, in Sunrise, Montana. My all time favorite, though, is still the ship in Boston Harbor -...
