I think the theory is correct that some of us forget our high beams are on. Also, the corridor on I-77 that runs mainly from Cleveland, OH to Charlotte, NC (and beyond) is a killing zone for deer usually Oct-Nov and April-May may also contribute to the problem. However, blinding another...

In my 12 yrs of expediting, I' ve not seen or heard of this before, but I guess it's becoming more prevalent. Like most bad habits in our industry, it will probably will spread with the help of the "Radio Rambos".

Got behind a TT, 03:00 this morning, sb I-77 about 10 miles north of Beckley. Was going to pass him/her but then he/she blasted a nb 4-wheeler with a some of kind of powerful, portable light, I've seen in most truck stops. (12v model). I followed him for about 8-10 miles and everytime some...

We are steering wheel holders. We are paid easy money to do this. If any new product will make my business more profitable and make my job safer with less time involved, I'm all for it. We are not Indy racers, airline pilots, astronauts, etc. One expample of using the GPS is the...

I started using MS Streets + Trips in 1998. Back then, there were no turn-by-turn directions. Only a visional mark on a laptop map. How you got to your destination was your problem. I then upgraded many laptops along with MS + Delorme versions until early this year when I purchased a...

I am the resident expert (emeritus UPS expert). I've been doing their overflow critical work for almost 12 years. I've exposed wantabees on this site claiming to be "recruiters" and have explained UPS corporate missions even to those who would not listen. When UPS decides to fully...

I should add, also, that while you are legal with a CCW permit in one state, reciprocity may not exist with another(s). For instance, in Michigan I can carry with an Ohio permit as long as I adhere to their laws. Driving through PA, however, I cannot carry in that state and must disarm the...

I have a CCW permit issued by the State of Ohio for almost three (3) years. The cost was $175 for 12 hours of classroom lectures by both an attorney and a licensed police instructor. After passing written exams and range proficiency tests, you are then given an application to apply. In...

About 15 years ago, I made a drop in Wilmington, NC and the receiver gave me directions to the Naval museum on the river, if I remember correctly. There were 3 vessels docked for tours including a WWII aircraft carrier. Also, if anyone is a looking for a sub tour in Chicago, the Science...

TJ959: I too am a boat/ship freek. If it floats, I'm there !! One of my favorite runs was a pu in Philadelphia, PA to a freighter in Cleveland, OH which was docked for the winter about 10 years ago. The pu was some type of a pump repair manual for the freighter. There was only the...

Cash/lobbyists Are King With all due respect(s) to greg334 and others here that think that voting and calling our representatives will affect our political goals and/ideals, I applaud your energy. One lobbyist with deep pockets will have more influence on our elected officials. Sadly...

Phil: I use MS Money. At the end of the day I record ALL tansactions, either via cash or credit card. (90% CC). It takes little time, offers an incredibly accurate status of where the money for that day, week, month, year, etc., etc. had gone too. And, at the end of the year, it is an...

Leo: In all honesty. Were you investigating the poster's situation, or merely trying to embarrass the poster for your own personal gain with P2 ?? It is outrageous that any individual would inject themselves into another's opinion for their own personal gain. Do the right thing. Resign from...

I hit a deer on I-71 just about this time last year. Called the Highway Patrol to make a report for the insurance company. Submitted pix and the report and my insurance agent told me that it was covered under my comprehensive, rather than the liability, which means that the $3,700 damage done...

I attended an economics/labor mgt seminar in the early 90s. This was sponsored by Loyola Univ. in Chicago. The Jesuit professor that was lecturing said that the American way of life would change dramatically within the next 30-40 years. He pointed out that America, like it or not, is being...

I know there is no such thing as an "average week" in our business, but, over the past year, using a percentage basis, what would be your own individual (or team) breakdown. This is only a guestimate. (i.e., 75% wait, 25% drive) Be safe and busy.
