    Hey!! No one likes a braggart! I'm still down here with a bunch of trucks that have been here as long as I have. The only time I delivered early at Claycomo was with new model parts that didn't go to the line. I've tried other times, but always had to wait.

    Oh, I guess every once in a while. I'm not really strict on that.

    Water can also get in when you get the truck washed and cause problems. I believe that's what happened to mine and I recently had the box cleaned out and new grease put in. Big difference.

    Did they have any suggestions as to how you would "force" them to take the freight? Claycomo is very well known for being strict on window times. I have heard of people delivering early, but it is the rare exception. Based on this story, I'd say you could blindly throw darts at a list of...

    So, you're saying I look like some kind of pudgy dough boy?

    General Motors

    Hybrid or electric, whatever you want to call it, so far it's the most common sense approach to an electric car. You can actually use the thing beyond the short limitations of a battery charge. But, yeah, way too much money.

    add straights to it.

    If there are secrets, they're being very well kept, because I've yet to find them after 12 years in the biz. It really is pretty simple stuff, get the freight at point A and take it to point B. The particular company you end up with will have its own quirks, but I would hardly call those...

    Vans and what are they?

    This too shall pass. Moot is a forgiving Deity. I drove a van for over 8 years and was never really pleased with the money I made. I wouldn't have wanted to support a family on it. There are van folks here who are considered successful that will tell you that having an additional source of...

    Requesting advice from Mac users...

    I've been telling the Hobo how much I like my DroidX, but he's really hung up on Apple. What do they call people like that, Fan Boys?

    Hi & Merry Christmas, Happy 2011 Year.

    The 1st quarter is traditionally a very slow time in expedite. You may want to use that time to read the archives here to continue your education and start thinking about jumping in around the end of March. Happy Holidays to you and yours and welcome!

    question for van drivers

    You will need to log and scale when hauling hazmat. A used van would be a great way to start as long as know what you're getting.

    World Ending?

    Yup, I just heard they're playing hockey in Hades. When I quit watching it was still 3-zip and they'd done nothing with the 3 turnovers they got.
