    Very Disappointing numbers

    Dave, Thanks, some can't see it is all about the Benjamins when you come down to it. I think a better term to use in place of favoritism is Business Need. It seems to fit better because most of the time they do things based on Business Need, nothing else.

    The Federal Reserve, Friend or Foe?

    Ark, A quick history lesson about the 16th amendment; It was legally voted on and passed to the states by the congress in July of 1909, under the Taft administration. The states ratified by 36 of the states by 2/1913 and 42 out of the 48 by 3/1913. The background of the...

    Are you angry yet?

    Well Ratwell what can I say, this is the same BS that has been posted on the web and some of it is not valid or true. For example Bush pulling us out of the human rights commission is the right thing to do because it has focused on the United States and has a clear agenda that does not solve a...

    Are you angry yet?

    - Became president after losing the popular vote by over 500,000 votes with the help of the Supreme Court. So what? The case was decided because of ALGORE crying about it and up until that time, there was a premise that we had a right to vote in the federal election – we don’t. Oh and...

    Your credentials are only as useful if the company sells the services and captures the sale. I know others understand what I am about to say but for those who don’t, Dave made a very good point; What this means is very simply that a company like FedEx will shift customer solutions...

    Can You Answer These Questions?

    Now wait a minute, this is a good thing but there seems to be something missing. 1. How many cents per mile does fuel add to your total cost per mile? 2. Of your total costs per mile, what percentage is now attributable to fuel? These are two very valid questions but are these...

    Truck shortage?

    Vinnie, We are on the same page, I see the advantage of even a single driver with a tractor and this is where I try to lead people because of the overall versatility with a tractor.

    Truck shortage?

    Vinnie I will be blunt, as I have said in the past in different ways that if we keep promoting the Expediting lifestyle as easy living in a straight truck or van, we are cheating the people who want to move into this niche market. I truly believe I made two mistakes, one was listening to...

    The Federal Reserve, Friend or Foe?

    Yes I am on the road, right now in hot and humid texas soon to be back to somewhere to pick up something else and make more money. As for that crack about Jenny, look..... if you said that around my wife, I would have to see you in the hospital, she would just lose her mind with that one and I...

    Hedging and OIL, How is it related?

    Don't forget that we also compete with the EU for Diesel because we do not refine all the oil we use. We are not the source of the 'food' crisis but the EU is. AND also in comparison to China and India with us in the 20's, the difference is that our exports were three to one in the 20's when...

    Need opinion of exp.expeditors.

    Sorry to sound this way but why would you insist on being in WG? You can do very well without the hassle or the prestige. Surface trucks move just as much but .... never mind. Anywho about WG..... There is a waiting list, and the way it is supposed to work is (version one) that you are...

    Dodge Is Going To Fix Those Pesky Sprinter Problems

    Actually I didn't see that in their service procedures for PM on the newer Mercedes when I got access to some of their service lit, the SKL manual I have only mentioned oil change, not an oil flush. This is the right way to do it. I would think the people who service the $70k cars, the...
