    New to the site - doing research

    I guess the first question you should ask yourself is, "What exactly is expediting, and how is it different from regular trucking, and what exactly do I expect to glean from these expediting forums that I can't from all of the other trucking forums that I've recently registered with?" Maybe...

    Verizon new data plans

    128 kbps is certainly slow enough to make you want it to be in The Soapbox, especially if you use it for more than 5 minutes. If you think 3G is slow, 128 kbps will make you want to throw your device out the window and slit your wrists for good measure. A high tech supper dooper fax machine...

    Has anyone done this at a truck stop?

    My Sprinter's interior thermometer... $8.66 at Walmart Has a magnet on the back so I can stick it on the side of the microwave. Works great. Uses a single AA battery. I use rechargables, and have only had to recharge the battery once in 3 years.

    Whatever happened to . . .

    RLENT hasn't logged in since this past Monday. Witness lost his Soapbox posting privileges after brutally and repeatedly abusing them. He can post everywhere else, though. But not being an actual expediter, and thus having little or nothing to say here, his most recent post was August of 2015...

    Roger Ailes is Out

    Gretchen Carlson and Megyn Kelly finally got around to doing to what Roger Ailes wanted them to do. He'll be walking funny for a while.

    Has anyone done this at a truck stop?

    Actually, that's the ambient temperature inside a small hole in the bumper facia just behind the front license plate holder.

    The Trump Card...

    The two funniest things I've heard so far while watching the RNC on television: "Fox News is fair and balanced." Hearing CNN's Don Lemon say, "I'm not a political person. I'm neither left nor right. I'm a journalist."

    The Trump Card...

    Speaking of setting yourself on fire.... Anti-Trump protester sets the American Flag, and himself, on fire. Hears, "You're on fire! You're on fire, stupid!" from a police officer. Police officer tried to put the flames out, gets assaulted by man on fire. Burning Man gets arrested by police.

    Why'd July to dispatch ??

    Deadwood has become kind of a tourist trap town, but it's still very kewl. Bill Hickok's grave site is worth a visit. He's buried right next to Calamity Jane Canary. It's at Mount Moriah Cemetery. Sheriff Seth Bullock's grave is at the top of the hill. Awesome view of downtown Deadwood from the...

    The Trump Card...

    His speech was very good, I liked it, too. I particularly liked where he called Ted Cruz a great orator, comma, who said some things that were misunderstood (which doesn't happen with great orators), and threw him, not necessarily a lifeline, but at least a damp towel to lessen the pain of the...

    The Trump Card...

    While not all that surprised, I was nevertheless amazed at how the GOP established elites, including the entire Bush family, along with Ohio Governor Kasich, can't keep munching on the pity party soup grapes, acting like a bunch of liberals who didn't get their way. Their time is over insofar as...

    Black Olives Matter

    Green olives are picked before they are ripe, while black olives are allowed to ripen on the tree. And just like people, green and black olives may look very, very different, but the nutrition found within is exactly the same.

    The Trump Card...

    It's official. Donald J Trump is the Republican Candidate for President. A year ago the Republican party's establishment, the pundits, the media, everybody underestimated Trump. That's just how out of touch they all were.
