I read a quick article about the Cleveland Indians and how some are demanding that they change their name and remove all references to American Indians. I am not one who wants to offend people but I side with the group who says that naming a school, sports team or even a stadium is a way of...

Well thats ... ok I guess. I like to hear about it, I didn't know about it but I did get followed on one of my loads by the customer - even knew who was in the car. Thanks for the response.

arkjarhead it seems to be gone, anyone want to 'fess up to the reasoning why?

That too..... :)

So Leo, it is a good story. I have written about the Typhoon "Louise" of October of 1945 about the commander of a destroyer who rescues the crew of a another ship and how they survived for days that this storm lingered. The hard ships that they went through in those days were amazing but to...

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower Well I saw one the other day, a flat bed on a FL70 chassis with a sleeper. Kind of odd but when you think about it, I do have a 10K payload capacity and it would be nothing for me to pull the box off and get a flat bed put on the thing. I...

“In the door-to-door, exclusive-use business we expediters are in, excellent customer service is what it is all about. People call expediters because others are unable to meet their needs. They call because of the excellent customer service we provide.†Phil, You could have just written...

As for the cost, figure out that it will take 4 to 5 hours labor to do a good job and you will need the batteries, the MAX fuse or Jumbo fuse and holder, the proper cabling and the proper tray or holder (depending on where you want them). I would say a good job would be at least $400 but I can...

Turtle, I pointed out that there is some sort of cheapness with the APU's on the market and they are deficient in the charging of batteries. I fail to see where a 30 to 60 amp alternator is sufficient when the sale of the APU is predicated on the idea that it can be used to charged batteries at...

I don’t know if you all missed this or are afraid of commenting on stuff like this because of the recent rash of threads that were misinterpreted (and disappeared for some reason) but you know on I-5 there was a major accident with three killed, one kid and two adults. It is sad that we have...

“I clearly sympathize with your situation.†Dave, I know what your say but to make sure there is no misunderstanding on my part, this is not my situation outside of the lack of communication I can attribute to FedEx. Otherwise, my situation is not what others would consider all that bad...

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower So..... should I rip the reefer box off my truck and put a deck on it?

Dave, Sorry for the format of the response. my opinion, the methods of operation and goals between Panther and Fedex are much different. Fedex is moving freight to their internal divisions for simple economics. Those have ongoing fixed costs that they as a corporation, have all the time. When...

RE: terry's and rene's piece on early day's of exp "...The key to (owner-operator and drivers) respective successes will be the continual review and modification of the business plans to keep pace with market trends and keep an edge on their competition." I did enjoy the article and it was...

"Wasted lives for ego maniac power hungry old men." Hum....Wasn't that the comments made during another war? Tallcal, I put the book in the truck and getting back on the road, looking forward to reading it. But I think that we can apply the lessons of other wars and other leaders to this one...

Letzrock, you're right, assumptions are dangerous. The problem that you may understand is that the press gave clinton as the only reason we had a falling budget and a projected surplus and a lot of people just are clueless and fall into that trap.

Phil, Thanks. I don't recall them making a box but like you I have a Kidron and am happy with it. As for the reefer unit, if you can get a carrier dealer to check it out, that maybe the best thing to do.
