I use Power Service and buy it at Wally World as well. It's a product that's been around a very long time and is trusted by many. That kind of product longevity and customer satisfaction is earned by maintaining quality. Hardly intensive research on my part, but I've never gelled up so I must be...

...for your business model.

USA Today went up to a buck. But wait, who cares? No one here reads it! Are you kidding me? That's some kind of flawed study that showed truck drivers don't read newspapers. If that's the case, then why do I frequently see empty boxes in the evening? Someone bought 'em... It seems to me that...

What numbers and studies say will depend on who does them. I've worked at a Ford plant and I'd question the 59 seconds of work thing. I also wonder about Germans and Japanese doing less for more. As for productivity, there's that and then there's quality productivity. Some companies call...

The reality I was talking about was the current economic conditions and how they relate to trucking. That's the same for us all. It certainly makes it tougher place for a newb to make a go of it, but not impossible. As an example, a newb could lease on with one of the carriers that has a...

Cheri, since he's publicly posted that he's not responsible for what he says, does it really matter if he says anything?

Rabbit, can you provide links to credible sources on any of this stuff?

My thought exactly when I read this a few minutes ago.

If some want to call it whining, fine. But the reality is that this is not a good time in trucking, be it the expedited segment or others. To tell noobs to "come on in, the water's fine" would be irresponsible. Some will still do well, some may even have a record year. That will be balanced with...

Could you have a rule about the size of the pictures so we can read all the words that go with them?

Jack, have you considered using the powers granted to you as a Moderator and deleting this post? You could pretend it never happened!

I dunno, but as I read your post your horses were standing perfectly still. They are supposed to gallop, aren't they?

True, you wouldn't look in this thread for that info. But, that doesn't mean there's harm in it being here. We've seen threads go off on tangents and that tangent used to start another thread. I just think Leo's seeking a level of order that's more than is needed. These are, after all...

Re: Fedex BR unit....i like it Excellent! You get it! Leo, can you tell us what the problem is with this thread going off on a tangent, like normal, real world conversations do? As long as it's not fighting and childish behavior, what's the problem? For the life of me, I can't see what...

I've never heard of the built-in inverter thing. What would the advantage be to that, as opposed to just generating electricity? Do you run the inverter when the generator isn't running?

"You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat, who carried on his shoulder a siamese cat." Does anyone know what the heck that means? I'm sure a chrome horse is a motorcycle, but the diplomat and cat thing...?

I think we can count on the Lions getting creamed even if the Titans have the worst day of their collective lives!

I'm spending mine at the J in Resaca, Ga. I'll be enjoying the traditional turkey and dressing in the comfort of my sleeper, and the note on the TV in the lounge says the TV will be switched to the Rose Bowl on Thanksgiving. No kidding, that's what it says.

Leave it to the Mootster to blend sarcasm and common sense in such an entertaining way. I'd like to make a request. How about a song done to the "Beverly Hillbillies" theme.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the Big Three have been PAID by the govament, and probably very well, for any work that they did? That would be us, the taxpayers, paying whatever it is we owe them for that. Puhleezzzeee... Most of us typing here have helped them by being cogs in the...
