Not a big deal. I can resize them here with all these tools already. But regardless of the size, I cannot get a picture to attach to this forum. I've probably got something in the system blocking the script that does it. Slow and steady, even in expediting, wins the race - Aesop

As I understand it, Michigan wanted to quit taking garbage from Canada and other states, but they were told that that would interfere with interstate commerce (waste is an article of interstate commerce, and it is Congress that regulates interstate commerce), so they had to keep on taking it...

"We cant walk into stores,dealerships,parts places or what ever and get a price on something then turn around and say nope thats to high but this is what i will pay and not a dime more....." Oh, you'd be surprised. Maybe not in the not a dime more mode, and not as often at the retail level, but...

Yeah, the cruise control can't anticipate, it doesn't know what's half a mile up the road. Adjustments aren't made until it's too late, so you wind up losing much of your inertial speed to gravity and then it requires a significant amount of fuel and horsepower to overcome just the gravity of...

Wet wipes? You mean like baby butt wipes? Oh, no. For general cleaning I use the disinfecting towelettes. But for my face, I use [/i]Pond's® Pond Clean Sweep Cleansing and Make-up Remover Towelettes[/i], because they deep clean my pores and leave my skin silky soft and smooth. Infused with...

Good question. My version of the answer involves a wienie with no backbone who was afraid of losing a customer at contract signing time so they said, "Yeah, sure, whatever you want." And they then decided to short the truck for the difference. That's why I actually keep track of the...

>Recruiting continues to recruit and the fleet size stays >about the same. That's good news, is it not? If you have x-number of trucks and are doing an average of 1150 shipments a day, and then you still have the same x-number of trucks when you're averaging 650 shipments a day, I'm gonna go...

Caterpillar - good example of a customer who has been contracted to figure miles on Rand McNally miles, which I swear uses dirt roads and farm service roads though corn fields to figure distances. When a customer who is contracted a certain way calls in with a load, they already know how many...

The "livetvforpc" thing isn't really a scam, but it's scummy just the same. All they do is collect links to Web sites and free software that allow you to watch live streaming video, some of it TV stations, and then, for a fee, present to you those links. You're paying for their hard work in...

Well, I've never had a speeding ticket, but I'm not a slow-moving hazard on the road, either. I'll drive as fast as conditions allow, up to the speed limit, once in a while cheating a few miles an hour here or there. It mostly depends on surrounding traffic and how fast they are going. If...

With Panther, some customers use Household miles, some use PC Miler. What we get paid for is the number of miles on the QC load offer. I have been shorted just about the same number of miles that I have been overpaid for. I'll have one load that drives 40 miles longer than the offer, then the...

Slow turtle speeds, eh? Yeah, OK. :) On icy mountain roads, the slower the better, all the way down to not moving at all. On snow and ice, you're dealing with the simple physics of friction, inertia and gravity. You have to have the delicate balance of all three in order to stay on the road...

Chances are, if a shop has a nitrogen generator, they aren't going to use regular air instead. They don't make enough money off the nitrogen to use it as a scam. But, true enough, just like the oil, you don't really know for sure unless you do it yourself and you know that the generator is...

"you have access to Gartner?" Used to, but not any more. Not really. I used to manage a computer store, at the retail level, a satellite store of our main company, near the campus of Murray State University (go Racers!) that mainly dealt with pointing students in the right direction so they...

FWIW, a friend of mine owns a tool and die place where they do a lot of single piece custom work, and he ships 2 or 3 expedited shipments every week. He's loyal, in that he's been using FedEx for years, and no matter what I say or how good of friends we are, he won't call another carrier...

I've never been successful. Not even once. Tried Firefox and MS Internet Exploder. Nothing. Slow and steady, even in expediting, wins the race - Aesop

I'm sure the numbers are skewed. They all depend on who you ask. There are a lot of people who don't even have a land line anymore. Are they included in these numbers? I dunno. The Gartner Dataquest Survey that they put out in June 2001 showed 61% of US households (65 million) were actively...

Yeah, $5 a tire. Sprinter. Slow and steady, even in expediting, wins the race - Aesop

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. Those without access at all are not as likely to get it, 'cause they don't want it. Most on...
