    A History of Expediting

    I also think Phil is the right guy for the job, provided he takes off his rose-colored glasses and includes the bad with the good. Times can get tough in this business. Take right now for instance. Freight is very soft and there are a lot of trucks sitting. 2001 was not a good year and all the...

    INFO ON DUI

    Why do people use the word mistake in a situation like this? Mistakes are unintentional. When I misspell a word in a post, that's a mistake. I had no desire to misspell the word. When someone drinks and drives that's a choice. The "we're all only human" thing just does'nt fly here. I like that...

    van heat

    The VW gas fired heater was an option in the Beetle back in the day. The forced air heater in an air-cooled engine was lame, to say the least. I had a couple of them and there was no way to be warm unless you did expressway speeds for an extended period of time.

    Daughters and Dads things to do

    Congrats Thawk! Some say the quality of time is more important than the quanity with your kids. That's a lot of bovine solid waste from people who would rather do something other than be with their kids. If you can get in a position to get off the road you won't regret it. It's amazing how...

    owner lease purchase

    T-Hawk was just giving you sound advice and telling you the way he saw the situation. Your responce to him was uncalled for. If your with an owner you trust now, why not get a truck he is willing to lease to you and then work your way up to a nicer truck. You may consider this "bashing" you...

    FEDEXCC

    If you left the shipper with bad paperwork, that's your fault. It only takes a few seconds to go over the invoice and make sure it's complete. Why did'nt you do that?

    A History of Expediting

    Disagreements are very common here in the Forum. I think Ateam makes a good point in wanting to keep that under control as much as possible. I don't feel excluded as I, or anyone, could simply PM Ateam with any suggestion I might have. Self serving? I doubt it. After all, it's just expediting...

    Expediters Hall of Fame

    When the final product is put together, a tounge-in-cheek way to start it would be a salute to the caveman that first came up with the wheel.

    need a PM from a Nations Express driver

    I was usually paid on Friday in that situation, but not always. I agree with not worrying until Monday.

    Ford to close Norfolk

    Ford announced today that St. Paul, Mn. and Norfolk will be closed. I had heard rumors of St. Paul, but Norfolk surprised me. I would have thought an F-150 plant would survive.

    You know things are not good when a team in a D-unit sit. My friends who team at Landstar sat in North Carolina the whole week last week. I've never been this slow this time of year. I always thought Maryann was way cuter than Ginger.

    Daughters and Dads things to do

    My sons were in elementary school when I got divorced and there was a part of me that sort of understood why some men just take off. I'm glad I knew what the right thing to do was. They've become pretty decent men.

    Expediters Hall of Fame

    I'd just like to give a shout out for your inclusion of Jay Hobbs. In my short tenure at TST I found him to an absolutely honest, stand up guy. You knew you could trust him and that was really important there.
