    Want a new straight truck

    RE: Wonderful Fleet Owner:Want new straight truck ok If you drive a 2007 FL, then you really have a good source of info to go back to - the owner. But I wonder did he/she order the truck with the proper chassis length or actually had it stretched? There is a big difference between the two.

    More About FedEx Truckload Brokerage

    I am sorry Phil, your sales pitch is rather discouraging to me and a few others and it shows something about you don’t understand about resource management and sales. “FedEx Truckload Brokerage was originated as a way to bring new business into FedEx from new sources. FedEx Freight...

    Gun Control, interesting stats

    “In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. >From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.†Well this is sort of incorrect. Lenin started disarming with the Red Terror campaign in 1918 but used the Cheka during and...

    Nitrogen survey

    I can't do a real survey here but I would like to know one of two things; #1 - do you have nitrogen in your tires and how much was it? #2 - if you don't but considering it but cost is a factor what would you pay for it?

    Want a new straight truck

    Well if you are going to go for it all and get a reefer, a lift gate and all the other stuff and end up just hauling general freight, that is an overkill in the investment of the truck. In my case, I paid just a little more than I should have but I ended up with more in the long run because it...

    Snow

    Snow is not what you worry about, it is the slush and the ice that matter. #1 - Always be prepared. make sure you have some sort of emergency kit, candle, flashlights(plural)with extra batteries, a couple blankets and some food. The blankets may not be for you by the way. #2 - Make sure that...

    Am I the only one?

    "Latest stats are always a little dated and behind the real world, but as of the end of June 2007, looks 84% of US households have Internet access, with 75% of all US households having broadband access." I think that this is skewed, if 84% of all households are hooked up in someway, we would...

    Shamed by Newbies

    "It's not about the newbie (or anyone else for that matter) being luckier than us. It is not about us being luckier than others. It is about us, sitting where we are right now, doing our best to position ourselves for the next load." Luck!

    Shamed by Newbies

    Hold the presses...... Phil doesn’t believe in luck! Well from that long monolog, I am going to assume a few things about the ‘L’ word and you - 1. You are clairvoyant... ah.... I mean you are claircognizance. I would say that you have some sort of precognitive skills but truthfully if...

    Finding loads on my own...

    Getting an authority to operate is not just filling out a form, paying a fee and getting a number - there is a lot of work to keep everything up to date. Safety is the biggest issue and sometimes the biggest headache. Expect an audit in the first year (I hear this will happen in the first 6...

    Our priorities are messed up

    Why do we chase and deport former NAZIs but can’t chase deport invaders or terrorists? I think that some guy who was a NAZI is not a real threat to us, especially when they are like 80 years old and in a wheel chair – what are they going to do? Real threats to the country are invaders...

    Flags to fly at half-staff

    Correct me if I am wrong but I had to have a class on decorum and diplomatic standards and remember there are a lot of rules and one is flags don't get ordered half mast for anyone below an government official. Flags are supposed to be at half staff on memorial day for all who lost their lives...

    GPS Systems

    OK, you all didn’t sell me. I don’t see the difference between the use of the small proprietary navigation devices and a laptop or a map. It comes to a point where you look at what is more versatile tool for the buck, the laptop for me is the tool of choice. When you add the distraction...

    Are you a real football fan?

    I was listening to WSB in Atlanta this morning and heard something that is just unbelievable. The intelligence of people has been spiraling down to the point that thinking is no longer needed. It seems that the dogs that have been removed from Vick’s farm are all going to be rehabilitated...

    TOYOTA VS GENERAL MOTORS

    You really need to look at the history of the FDA and not the revised history. It always has been a part of the political process.

    Michigan, what a state!

    Well it could be true. I was told that she actually did say something like this but if you think this is childish, look at the laptop for schools program. I used to be able to driver across 8 mile road without stopping, Woodward and Telegraph all the same but now forget about it. I can point...
