    Now Phil, I know you have no disrespect but I am forced to ask it to remain open becuase it seems to be a good thread with two view points shared by a lot of people. AND I got to add this; The thread actually has a very good discussion with the pro/cons of luck and other business info for...

    Phil, Phil, Phil... Ok lofty is not the right term, I think celebrated would be better but anyway.... "How many times has it been said here in the Open Forum? Expediting is not rocket science." True, this is true, but as I said there are limitations that one has to deal with if they work for...

    Cheri, Maybe a rubber stamp would also help, you would be surprised what they can put on a stamp today.

    COE vs Conventional Cab

    Don't want to be a smart a** but a 110" cab has a 74" sleeper living space? right? The last one I looked at was a 110" midroof and that had 74" living area - there is I think almost 18" or 20" from the window to the end of the dash then the seats take up more room. Even though a condo would...

    OMG I think that T-Hawk said it best so far. But luck at gambling and luck at expediting and business is two different things. As I was told from this old man in Miami when I was a young kid, there are two different types of luck and not comparable; a gamblers luck and a business luck. He...

    Laptop 348$

    I heard people being interviewed that some Walmarts were selling out of them before the public could get them. A few in NJ and NY were letting employees and vendors (the people who stock the shelves for Coke and others) were buying them before they were put on the shelves.

    Will never stay in Fort Wayne, IN again

    RE: Will never stay in Fort Wayne OK, I would have told the McDonalds employee what makes them think I am an expediter? I don't know what the laws are in the FW area about loitering, but a business here in Michigan can't just throw up signs singling out an vehicle because of signs on it or...

    Retorical Engineering Question

    I have asked this question to a lot of engineers and they have different answers to the question. Why is it we, mankind can put men on the moon and create the Bugatti Veyron, but we can't get more energy out of a gallon of fuel. Why? If you don't know what the Bugatti Veyron is, check this...

    idiot

    He's an idiot. I have a lot of reasons for saying that, but adding that there is no democrat on the stage that is worth being president. The picture is not doctored, I seen three different pictures and a video all showing the same thing, the one from the Reuters seemed to be the best. The...

    Westboro Church

    As much as I hate (yes my feelings are that strong) this church, I question why are they even still recognized as a church, the IRS should pull their recognition as a church which means that everything is now taxable and if it is done before the end of the year is retoactive for the year - the...

    Kids in Restaurants

    I don’t have much sympathy for waiters/waitress’ unless they serve me well (take it as you will) and if they expect a tip, I won’t give it on the merits that they took my order but have to deliver but that is my restaurant up bringing – sorry. Well anyway, this is where I sympathize...

    how would you handle this situation?

    Well Truthfully I do have a little advice. If there is no 'need' for him to be around (paying the bills, helping with the kids, helping you watch the grass grow or what ever), just tell him "bye" - any cr*p, pick up the phone and call the cops. Don't argue with him, don't go down to his level...

    Saving Money By Extending Your Oil Change Interval

    RE: Saving Money By Extending Your Oil Change Inte Dave, The additional filtration has really nothing to do with the issues you mentioned, viscosity breakdown comes from heat and if the heat is serious enough the engine will need help soon anyway. I think that OPS1 is one of the better...

    how would you handle this situation?

    Arkjarhead I can’t tell you much in the way of advice because I don’t know what kind of relationship you all have with your inlaws. But I can tell you about what I did and how I handled my situation. Just to add this, I grew up in a traditional European home and my mother was not liked by...

    Saving Money By Extending Your Oil Change Interval

    RE: Saving Money By Extending Your Oil Change Inte Phil, I think that Volvo recommends a bypass system with regular OAs. I know that the EU versions of the truck has a longer oil change than here. I would really be concern with the company that would not feel cleaner oil and less frequent...

    Another important issue

    I was going to post this in the soapbox forum but I feel that it is too important to be there. This issue affects us more than the Mexican Truck issue and part of the tearing our sovereignty apart. I don’t understand where the president and the congress are coming from but being part of an...

    COE vs Conventional Cab

    flatbedin It is nice to hear about the International. I ran across a lot of them on the west coast in really good shape and cheap - under $15K. If FedEx would accept a '98 or '99, then it would be something to consider but alas they said 2002 maybe. Oh I did look at one in Texas last year and...
