    July in the land of Load One

    I know. My comment was a joke. :D All they have to do is go park next to an airport, open the side doors of the van, aim, fire and drive away. They could do that at O'Hare without even aiming.

    You should go to the Flying J and talk to some of the drivers. Then do it again on another day, but wait at least a week, otherwise you'll be talking to the same drivers. :D

    July 4th

    n 1781, Massachusetts became the first state to declare July 4 a state holiday. Fireworks are illegal in Massachusetts. That includes sparklers.

    Why'd July to dispatch ??

    Yeah, pretty neat, huh! :D I have no idea. There are allegedly 20,000 people living there, but I dunno where they are. But they have a violent crime rate that's 5 times the national average. Something like 450 violent crimes (rape, armed robbery, aggravated assault) a year. It is in the middle...

    Where at are you in South Texas? There may be some local stuff available down there. Anywhere along the border is is the worst for cargo van expediting, because there are probably 5 loads going down into Mexico for every one that comes out. That's why the truckstops in Laredo look like they're...

    Why'd July to dispatch ??

    Most nights, yeah. Fourth of July? Hard to say. Looking at the Dbacks Website, looks like there are a few left. Nosebleed seats for sure. Man are they expensive tickets out there. Field level $140.

    OUT AND BACK

    Those hours are gone whether you're sitting or driving. Hours are hours. Gone is gone. Who, exactly, are you giving them to? The answer, of course, is that you're giving them to yourself. They are your hours, do with them whatever you like. Oh, when I'm at home I have almost no freedom and...

    All the information a well-informed terrorist needs for a shoulder-fired FIM-92 Stinger.

    Why'd July to dispatch ??

    Gallup is a neat place, despite it being the most violent city in New Mexico. I-17 between Flagstaff and Phoenix is a neat drive, and it's pretty amazing how rapidly the landscape changes as you go from those mountains down into Phoenix.

    Delivery optimizing tablet

    Yes. Sort of. You can add a stop and place it in the order you want it to be. It's placement in the trip routing may or may not change if you add it and then tell the Garmin to optimize the route, of course. Garmin has the best maps for North American, TomTom has (probably) the best for Europe...

    Delivery optimizing tablet

    There are several apps that do route optimization. Road Warrior, Sales Rep Route Planet, Copilot GPS... Most Garmins will do it. I have the Nuvi 3597 and I can enter several stops by just adding them to my route without bothering to care what order they are in, and then use the Trip Planner...

    Portable Generator deals/for sale? Best a/c unit?

    Engine cooling is done via the heat exchanger (radiator) by passing as much air through the vents on the heat exchanger as possible. The radiator fan is on a clutch (engine driven) or on a thermostatic control unit (electric fans) so as to vary the speed of the fan, slowing the fan down when the...

    120,000 for a city delivery vehicle, sure, that's a good number of miles. But for expediting, you're just half way there.

    OK. you're gonna have to be really careful not to cross the SPAM line with your replies. Supplying answers and giving pertinent information is fine, but spouting advertising copy hyperbole mixed with a testimonial isn't gonna fly here in the forums. For example... What does that even mean? The...

    How Much Do You Really Make per Hour?

    I guess you could figure you hourly wage using only the time you are behind the wheel and driving while loaded, and the time spent getting loaded and unloaded. If you do that, you'll think you make some real money.

    Ad blocking

    Yeah, I know, and it's not only annoying, but it steals the bandwidth of capped phone users who are limited in what they can use. So it's rude and mean, as well. Youtube ads get blocked on the laptop.

    Net Neutrality is simply the idea that a data packet is a data packet, and the content of that packet should be irrelevant to the Internet Provider. It shouldn't matter if the 500mb you are downloading is a zipped program file, a lot of EO Web pages you're reading, Pat Boone or Metallica, a...
