    The best expediting company

    Leo once locked a thread because he felt that it would serve no useful purpose. For the life of me, I can't imagine the useful purpose of this one. And, BTW, my carrier fits the description of the mysterious, unnamed carrier that he's describing.

    C & M Good? Bad?

    I think,(I'm not under oath, am I?), if I started this past, say, Tuesday, I'd get my first pay the 22nd.

    C & M Good? Bad?

    They hold back 3 weeks in lieu of escrow. There are companies that do a holdback and have escrow. On the flipside, I worked for one company that had no escrow and started paying right away. Holdback/escrow is a very insignificant piece of the puzzle when considering a carrier, IMHO.

    Droid Amazon App-store doesn't work

    Based on my experience, limited as it is, that's not uncommon with apps. You may see it again with other apps.

    Moot Stewart's Holiday Decorating Tips

    Ya know Moot, when I first read your post my eyes kind of glazed over and I was ready to go all "Incredible Hulk" with a scathing all caps post. "WHAT IS IT ABOUT AN EXPEDITER HAS SWITCHED CARRIERS THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!!" But, I took a deep breath, walked away from the 'puter for a...

    who's happy

    I couldn't be any happier. I had a totally awesome day and evening at the race this weekend, and now I'm home for a week of riding my Harley. I'm gonna have a permanent grin like the guy in that "make your Little Willie bigger" commercial. Yep, life is good. I'm livin' the dream.

    Moot Stewart's Holiday Decorating Tips

    I was taken aback a bit by this frivolous post at first. Things have been a bit tense here lately, and understandably so. An expediter changing carriers certainly sends ripples throughout our industry. What will happen to expediting as we know it? With tempers on edge, can we ever be a happy...

    Well, revelry and celebration won out. I'm at Red Bud Track & Trail in Buchannon, Mi. for a day of great racing and an evening of partying and fireworks. Larocco's Leap, beautiful women on a hot day, cold beer, it doesn't get much better in my world. Oh yeah.......

    I'm in Romulus, Mi. at the Craphole Truckstop. As it gets into the afternoon with no word from my travel agents, the temptation to indulge in Independence Day revelry and celebration is, well, tempting.

    Droid battery pull

    I have an X. I do "power off" reboots from time to time, but probably not enough. Like Tenntrucker, I was told by Verizon that pulling the battery was a good way to clear up issues, but I'll try shutting it down more often to see if that helps. Thanks for the info!

    Another cool addition to the expo!

    You seem to be saying that if you put people in front of a camera it's not real. But, it's reality television!! It has to be real!! It's not like they can edit and delete scenes to create a storyline... I watched part of one of the first season Survivor and thought it was incredibly dumb...
