Those signs have been there longer than I have been running. I remember seeing them in 2004.

>shouldnt be too bad for the rest of us, since ups still >outsources most of the "critical" shipments on panther >trucks anyway. Ah....and FedEx get a share of this too.

CONFUSED!! OK I am with mountainman on this one, did you pull into a cat scale to get a weight on it or did you just assume that it was alright? Not trying to be an a** about things but with a 14K axle and a margin of 1800lbs with fuel on board, putting things forward of the rear axles may...

What I find really interesting is this; "For the first time in the industry, customers have a single point of contact regardless of whether they're shipping a small package or a 1,000 pound machine part - air or ground, domestic or international. Customers now have a single call center, one...

Ok?! I thought that there was a safety report done in the 80's about the effectiveness between the three barrier systems and cables were lower on the list than concrete barriers? I know for a fact that concrete will prevent most cars from going through it but an SUV, or a truck is a different...

Steve, I had a lot of problems with the partridges in the box, so they made a good meal one day. I had seagulls in there but they made a mess of everything with the fish they hide in the box and someone suggested pigeons which is not an option. At one time I had the pear tree in the box but I...

HERE WE GO AGAIN!! FW, I agree with some of what you are saying but truthfully we are dealing with people who have no clue who enter into this industry at large and become sheep, and I am not talking about the ones here on EO but in the industry in general. They sometimes need a group to help...

T-hawk, The Duke lacrosse players are in a different situation, they were really not affected by the public opinion at all, they can rebuild their lives easier with the public but rather they were affected by the school and legal system screwing up their lives. I feel that in that case the...

RE: Dot in White Glove is NOT Leaving FedEx Custom "Whoa there...... you don't know this character, as a few of us do. Don't come in here telling anyone bout being thin-skinned. You know absolutly NOTHING bout which you are talking bout. Speak up when you're more knowledgeable about the...

Phil, Yes I meant four-wheel furniture dollies, sorry was distracted at the time I wrote the post. Thanks for the info and the link, I found what you are talking about which is on my to get list now.

Phil, I think that this subject and how to load a truck is something that should be part of a seminar at the expo. But to answer your question, here is what I have on board Several straps - I need to replace a few of them soon as I get the truck back home as regular practice Four yellow -...

RE: Dot in White Glove is NOT Leaving FedEx Custom OMG what a c*********** this turned out to be! How thinned skinned are some of you over a non-issue? For some who know who Dot is, good Dave just passed along some info. For those who don't know or don't care who Dot is - oh well, Dave...

bigjoep89 Thanks. I just send OOIDA an email asking them to contact Dreamer or Lawrence to arrange someone to come here and 'talk' with us about our concerns and questions. Let's see what happens.

OVM, they ain't talking about a $1M 'investment', they are talking about somewhere on the lines of $6M to 12M of the feds to cover everything from what I read. As for the word Investment there is no investment with government funded anything because an investment requires a tangible return to...

"I have some reservations about the power drain. I am considering the extra battery, but Espar wanted $700 to put in an isolater and battery. Seems kind of high to me. Any ideas. " $700 to do something like that? NO way. You can do it yourself without any difficulty. I think that you have...

Brings up the question of who's bright idea was it to put an 30 - 60 amp alternator on an APU? I would think that at minimal 100 amp or 150 amp would be used. Nothing wrong with getting a digital volt meter (one of those cheap $5 harbor freight specials) wiring up to the battery bank to...

Honestly I think Aaron was not on anything, as it was with Ruth. The issue for me is what is going on with Bond's trainer and the deal struck not to name names of the players who take steroids. The other issue for me is the arrogance of the guy and his attitude toward people and the press. I...

Grounds are very important but also if your truck has miles on it think about replacing the cables from the batteries to the started and the ground.

That is a hard question to answer. For me most of the time I haul a single pallet or maybe two but I have had the boxed stuffed twice, I mean shoring bars and decking all out and set up front to back for pallets to the ceiling.

"I see your point from an overall company view, but, lets keep it in the context of just the Expedited segment of these companies. Remember, FXCC and Express America are only a VERY small part of the larger companies whose Corporate logo they fall under. The revenue generated by the expediting...
