Hi Rita, Sorry it took me so long to find your message. Yes we were on I-75 in GA on the 6th. We were on our way to Macon,GA from Phoenix,AZ with a thrust reverser for a jet engine that was in the crate you saw. After we delivered we went back to the Flying J to hang out for a spell. As...

I think thats great that the two of you will be attending Tim's funeral. I'm sure that the family will appreciate that very much. Unfortunately when we told our carrier that we would go back in service 12/21/08 we made a commitment to them and our customers to run until after the first of the...

For those wishing to send flowers to the family of Tim Hopkins, the family has requested in lieu of flowers that donations may be made to the : Timothy J. Hopkins Sr. Childrens Education Memorial Fund c/o National City Bank P.O. Box 218 Pickerington,OH...

In my earlier post on this thread I failed to mention that Tim had at an average of 4-5 D & DR units leased on with FECC.

The friend and fleet owner in my previous post was Tim Hopkins, Pat Hopkins brother. Anyone interested in reading Tim's obituary may do so in the Saturday 12/27/08 edition (online or hard copy) of the Columbus Dispatch newspaper.

Our commercial vehicle driving records (over 30 yrs combined accident/ticket free) are a testimony to safety and safety issues when it comes to can a CDL driver be trusted to drive safely without a speed limiter forcefully being placed on their (my) truck. No speed limiter here!!!

I think it would tend to clog up the injectors! LOL How much per pound are they paying for unrefined fat?

We got to our pickup in Chicago only to be met with a storage fee on the engine that had to be paid before it could be released. Nobody had been made aware of this when the load was set up! So of course we were not prepared to have the hundreds of dollars in CASH needed with us. After much...

Our carrier has a neat way of handling Canadian loads since was are to long of a tractor wheelbase for Canadian laws. They rent a tractor at the boarder and we pull our trailer with it or they hire a service to hook our trailer and one of us rides along for the trip in and out of Canada. That...

Shawna and I really like your United States Air Force Proud Mom in your albums! We (she) has a license plate holder on the front of our truck that says USAF Proud to be an Air Force Mom. Its a great feeling when people compliment that. We military parents have something to be proud of, our son...

Just as we settled in at home for the holidays this past weekend with family, little did we know what was to come our way or how quickly our personal plans would change! Our phone wrang Sunday afternoon and it was dispatch on the other end. With so many trucks in the fleet like ourselves out...

This morning we received a phone call informing us that a friend and small fleet owner had passed away unexpectedly overnight. He was one of the most honest fleet owners we have met. we knew him through our own personal business dealings with one of his family members in the past. This family...

I would sue the school board for at minimum the medical bills for your child if they are'nt already paying. Also go after the bus driver(s) and bus service for negligence. the only transporting of your child should have been by you the parents or an ambulance once the child was injured in my...

As drivers of commercial vehicles we are all targets for being blamed for damage to vehicles and property that we did not cause. Many attempts are made for you the owner of the CV or your insurance company to pay for the alledged damaged. Some states such as NJ are "at fault" states meaning that...

Our 2008 proved to be a very interesting one for us. The first five months of the year was a continuation of what would become the end of our association with our prior carrier. The beginning of June was the start of a new carreer with our current carrier. Based on that our 2008 went as...

As strongly as I believe in Capital Punishment, I think your point is an excellent one in this case. Reason being exactly as you stated "easy way out". I believe that Casey would suffer much more if kept alive and the cost to do so would probably be less than to execute her. Another thought...

Since many expediters on this forum make central Fl their home I thought would share this: Just a few hours ago a utility worker found what may be the remains of Caylee Anthony a half of mile from her home. Bones (skull with tape on the month), a plastic bag, and duct tape were found in an...

From the perspective of a T/T team, right now is not a good time. After the holidays and the changes in the White House take place, then I would watch the forum to see if the chatter indicates that expedited freight has picked up. Although we've been fairly busy, even we have a slow period...

My mistake Phil. I assumed by the above quote that was who Glen was driving for.:confused:

Swift? Is Glen running out of the Ocala,FL terminal?
