    Cummings/DD/Hino/Mercedes

    OK here's a comment, What? TOTAL cost of ownership? I haven't heard that term used in a long time. It seems to me that it was used a lot in IT to justify things. Opps...... My God...... I better shut up or the ROI crowd will chime in to explain it to us. :p

    Heads-up when you decide to buy a truck

    First thanks for the clarification. Don't beat yourself up about it, I know of others that have done the same thing.

    Heads-up when you decide to buy a truck

    I am a bit confused. I think you illustrate my point of professional help a lot better than I could, your story raises a couple questions. 1 - are you running at all? If yes then 2 - why stop paying on the truck if you are running? Here is a real important suggestion that I don't see...

    How much does a dispatcher have to Invest

    I really appreciate that. :p I was hoping for the best for the state but it didn't turn out that way.

    How much does a dispatcher have to Invest

    Vinnie, I would say most have files, but not all. Beside, if the company is say here in Michigan, they don't have to have a reason to fire anyone, they can just do it - it is called at will employment. In Michigan again, about unemployment, the only thing that really disqualifies someone is...

    Anybody want to give odds on how long DHL will be around ?

    India Tripak has a deal with DHL to pick up the contents of the box on a daily basis. FedEx is one of several companies that use tripak. I think CC is the only division that uses them, maybe some of the supply chain owners do to. The thing that got me was ordering supplies, they always paid...

    USA Gas Iraq JC HC BO JV

    Are you sure he was a failure, I remember reading about him and some idea that WTC was brought down by the government. Funny he maybe right, you know that government does some weird things and he should know......

    this is amazing

    I bet you my truck that the book he is selling is the same one that was written about 50 years ago, OR taking directly from that book about producing Hydrogen gas. There are a lot of things that can help produce better mileage, but at what cost? The system describe by all of these guys are...

    Hypothetical Question(s)

    Yea, that's what I am getting at. Throughout the primaries, the names were in the news, so the chances of an unknown being on the ticket is slim to non-existent being on the VP ticket to begin with. The party would have to do some sort of damage control and knowing how they operate, they already...

    Cummings/DD/Hino/Mercedes

    Hino? They seem to be ok, drove one once wasn't impressed but again it is not about the truck anyway, it is about serviceability on and off the road. This is not trashing one brand but I am going to use it as an example. Great.... you got yourself a new nice shiny Hino, now what? You...

    Hypothetical Question(s)

    I would venture to say depending on how close that this happened to the election, the party may have to go with the one they selected to run. This is not like a state run election, Congress members are selected on the state level but a federal level election and really the only election that...

    Anybody want to give odds on how long DHL will be around ?

    Wasn't some large company looking at DHL? I heard a small bit on the radio last week about a possible sale but never caught the name. Yes Crazy, the Germans do hate our unions. The strength of the German unions in comparison to ours, very strong. They work with the companies, like the Japanese...

    Own Authority and a Leased Operator

    You can't claim it as a personal vehicle if it is used for commercial purposes. You have to keep track of personal mileage and subtract that from the mileage you accumulate during the year. - this is directly from the IRS.

    Something is wrong here!

    Senate bill S2910 is a bill that forces 100% of a fuel surcharge to be passed on to the owner of the truck. It also forces a disclosure of the charges in detail. It sounds all good and well on the surface but I see where it leaves the door open for rate adjustments to compensate for the FSC...

    How many are Pro-War?

    Let’s tackle Bush first. Name one president who hasn’t lied? He is the same as Clinton, who was the same as Bush #1, who was the same as Reagan and so on. Our government got away from a republic not under Bush, but under FDR. We were more of a socialist government under carter than we are under...
