    Greatest City to visit?

    I've been to San Fransisco twice and would go again in a heartbeat.(And, I'm not gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.) But I would like to do a long weekend in NYC sometime.

    Cargo vans scaling in Michigan

    I was wondering how that turned out Late. I think on a change like that there should be a grace period like there was with the log books. Written warnings for 6 months or something like that. A mass e-mail or something to let the carriers know would have been in order.

    Insurance

    Danny, good idea on lowering value. Gap insurance is a good idea for anyone that's upside down in a loan. But, if what your agent said is true, you would'nt need it as you would be setting a value they would accept. Could you have misunderstood something the agent said?

    Cargo vans scaling in Michigan

    I just heard that FECC sent out a message telling their vans to cross scales in Michigan. Anyone else been told to do so?

    Canada Got a question with a long story

    The ETA would just be so they can have it done in time, provided you're giving them enough time. PARS are done for the Port of entry you will be using. If you use a different one the PARS will fail. As far as truck ID, I don't know why they want that. I know of freight being transfered to a...

    Realistic Expectations...

    LDB's numbers are a good basis to work from, even a bit more. But, forget about the being home 3 days a week part. He could easily get by the house several times a week. But to be home 3 days a week will adversely effect his earnings.

    Wait a minute, are'nt we talking about the election that the Republicans unfairly stole from the Democrats?

    One to sing loud (& off key)

    Are you sure she was singing about Mick? He sang background vocals, but she has still not made public who it was about. Warren Beaty is another one that has been rumored.

    Handicapped drivers

    I've seen people who have visible handicaps doing this job and I have no problem as long as they can be safe behind the wheel. The problem I have are the people like the guy I went through orientation at TST with. He stayed at the same motel I did and we left at the same time in the morning...

    You have clearly back-pedaled here Raceman. You've gone from saying we gouge people that need the service we provide to saying it's worth the money. Also, the simple act of relocating the freight is not the same as it is in truckload or LTL. They don't have to get up in the middle of the night...

    Canada What's up with the new forum?

    Don't get me wrong, I like Canada. I miss breakfast and 12oz N.Y. strips for dinner at Billies on Dixie Rd. in Mississauga, north of the 401, 2 doors past the Husky. (How's that for a plug?) It's just the actual crossing part...

    Canada What's up with the new forum?

    That's what I thought when I saw it, but still a good addition. Since the first of the year I don't have to cross and, quite frankly, there's not much I miss about it.

    gas wars

    We offer a different service than truckload or LTL companies. When a company ships something for less than they can with us, they do it on the terms of the trucking company. With us, they get service tailored to their needs. They could have a truck at their dock within an hour, possibly less...

    Insurance

    I'd get another opinion on this because it really does'nt make sense. This situation would a bad position for an insurance company to put themselves in. You buy a POS for 5k and insure it for 40k. A lot of people would be tempted to take a crack at insurance fraud for 35k in their pocket. If you...

    Where Are Van Drivers

    I'm with those who say that there really isn't enough money in a van to support a driver and make what's left worth an owners time and investment. The talk of the demise of the B-unit has been going on since I've been in the business, along with the log requirement being imposed. Now, it's the...

    INFO ON DUI

    M A, a few with dinner and a short drive home is a responsible way to behave. You would have no problem driving in a competent manner and if you were to blow for a cop your numbers would be acceptable. It's those that are'nt that responsible that are a problem.

    One to sing loud (& off key)

    The burning question here is, how many margaritas will it take to get Cheri to sing. I'll make the first run to the store at the Expo.

    Daughters and Dads things to do

    I guess there was no real loser in that game. Unless you like a lot of onion and garlic on your burgers.
