I'm seeing between 5 and 10cpm on most runs with cargo vans.

You can use your Comdata card at Wal Mart cash registers to get cash back. Also, same goes for debit cards. Debit cards from any bank can be used at Wal Mart to get cash back, without incurring any fees from your home bank. Using a Comdata card at Wal Mart will incur a fee from Comdata...

I'm with you Guido. I soooo don't miss this pseudo-babble. Carriers can reach a point where they are hamstrung by layers and layers of ever changing rules and policies. In an effort to please certain fiefdoms, efficiency gets tossed.

We, Americans, have strayed so far from the Founding Fathers vision for this country that I fear they would scarcely recognize what it has become.

Why would anyone necessarily assign a negative connotation to the term "propaganda" ... all governments and all political parties, including the present one, use propaganda everyday to shape public opinion. It is used to marshal support for public policy, legislation, foreign affairs...

Mr G..... what's wrong with anti-communism propaganda? Would you prefer pro-communism?

Lots of missing information here.... failing to get a ping on the qc could be attributed to parking too close to a building, thus blocking a signal. Or parking under a tree, or a dozen other possibilities. Or a dead battery. Red flags pop up when this goes unreported for several days...

We need the facts, all the facts, to make any determination.

A very impressive young man there, Layout.

bbrooks.... you titled your threads "Stolen Van." I am left to wonder was it truly stolen or just abandoned?? Huge difference.

Participating in a conversation by phone requires an incredible amount of focus and concentration. One might think it is passive but I am inclined to think otherwise. Today, I saw a young woman ( cell phone to her ear) blow right through a red light. I have often observed cell phone users...

While China has been busy growing and actually producing things, America has been living on a credit card. We are a spoiled bunch with a difficult future.

Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

News reports today state China is becoming very concerned about the security of American treasury notes. Seems they may be reluctant to loan us much more money. Wonder what happens to the U.S. economy when the money dries up?

... and yet, the two headed cat must be neutered. "Hand me the binoculars, the duct tape, the Vaseline and boxcutter" said a grizzled veteran from afar. "Must I do everything myself, or...

I'm not aware of hardly any carriers, large or small, going out of business. Seems those exiting are owner/operators. In expediting, the carriers are mostly non-asset based corporations. They are purposely designed to survive downturns in the economy. The O/O on the other hand, carries all...

I enjoyed several good years as a solo van operator with Panther. Some months ago, I became disenchanted with many policies I felt infringed on my ability to earn a living as an expediter. It became clear to me the carriers do what is in their best interest and I should do the same. I moved...

Sirius-XM stock rose 60% in one day about a week ago. The price per share increased from 10 cents to 16 cents. This uptick came on the news Sirius-XM would avoid bankruptcy (temporarily) as a white knight financier came to their rescue with an infusion of millions$$$. Of course, as a...

My XM radio is four years old and working fine. I don't particularly like all the channel lineup changes since the merger with Sirius. Signal acquisition hasn't been a problem. I hope Sirius-XM manage to continue for many years to come. It would be a dreadful loss.

I read a story today, out of Ohio, where a school district received nearly 700 applications for a job opening as a school janitor. There is only one position to be filled from a pool of 700 jobseekers. Perhaps some regions of the country will begin to rebound. I wouldn't want to be...
