Nice post, Greg. Sadly enough, America is more concerned who will be the next American Idol. Be safe.

Where were you when you first heard of the tragedy of 9-11-2001 ?? I was on the Maryland-PA border sleeping at a rest stop in my van. When I turned on radio around 09:45 that morning, disbelief was my first emotion. Anger came next. What were your feelings ?? Be safe.

Vandriver: Your explanation makes sense. However, 90% of my run offers usually occur from my office in my house. So, it would seem to me that maybe the carrier(s) problems might be with the ever increasing demand put on the system. Anyways, thanks for the info on AT&T from Greg and Cheri...

Keep up the good work, Terry. I've gained much trustworthy information by reading Terry and Rene's posts over the years and their integrity speaks for itself. Having said that, for those that still don't get it, here is the problem and the solution to all expediting problems. Supply and...

RE: UPS Expedite name change...UPS Express Critica LOL !! Here we go again !!

I'm taking my grandsons on the boat on Lake Erie for some Walleye fishing tomorrow. Where are you and what are your plans ????? Be safe always.

RE: Goodbye Streets and Trips, Hello Street Atlas I've used DeLorme and MS Streets for years. I upgrade the software almost every year. In most cases I'll fire up both programs and see if there is any difference in the projected mileage. Most cases there is very little. Each program has...

Thanks for pointing that out. Don't know who Mary Smith is. I am a male living in the rustbelt. I like long walks on the beach, quiet times and my favorite color is green. Be safe.

As I stated way back when . . . certain individuals were claiming to represent UPS policy. I will reiterate: I have been doing expediting business with UPS for almost 11 years and what was represented here on EOL was somebody's ego outrunning UPS corporate policy. UPS is a great company to...

Hope every hard-working driver enjoys the Memorial Day weekend. I will be on my boat for a well-deserved weekend off. However, I will always appreciate and respect those that make our freedom possible. God Bless and be safe.

While delivering in Columbus, OH yesterday, a "D" truck with the logo of Linea Mexicana passed me on I-71. This is the second time in the same week I've seen their truck(s). Columbus' Latin American population has been growing at an extraordinary rate the past ten (10) years, and after doing a...

jasonsprouse : I think Cleveland will be the next Pittsburgh/Youngstown catastrophe. How sad that generations of your family spent a great deal of their hard-working life at the Brook Park plants, only to lose these jobs to a foreign country. Do you still live near the west side of Cleveland...

I'm surprised Ford's latest announcement concerning the Cleveland-Brook Park engine facilities hasn't been discussed here. Ford announced that one of the casting plants would be closing for at least 12-18 months and a second casting plant would be closing permanently. Being that I've never...

As I have posted earlier, in the past ten (10) years of dealing with UPS, when they want to get serious about expediting, they will purchase an existing company. This is how they do things. And, usually within 2-3 years, they will gradually replace the existing corporate staff with their own...

Where will you be for the Easter weekend? Perhaps it will be time to reflect for some. For others...it will have a different meaning. I will be home in Ohio, chasing my grandkids around the house until Monday. Be safe always.

Don't want to pile-on dodgerblue....but desperate drivers are a huge reason why cents per mile are not going to go up anytime soon. Try to negotiate a fair price with the company on a delivery, when the employer knows somebody else will gladly except the job in a heart beat. Sadly enough, the...

Rich: For the sake of clarity, are you now recruiting for Bolt? Be safe.
