    You're the only immediate expedite option. It might not really have to go out for a day or two. They can call other carriers to see if and when they could come pick it up. They could run it LTL. That's what I'm saying. Often it all depends on how critical it is, and/or how convenient it is. If...

    "The expedite shipment may be nothing more than a matter of convenience and isn't all that critical. So they go with the cheaper options."

    It may not affect you directly, with your conversations with your dispatchers, but when a single unit gets posted multiple times, it does indeed create capacity artificially higher than what's actually there, and that can only drives rates down. If you're the only van in an area and the customer...

    Guess ya just have to roll the window down before opening the door, or always park into the wind. It's already becoming such a ubiquitous issue on the Internet that it probably qualifies for Ford to issue a recall for stronger hinges and better support. Of course, just repairing them under...

    It's about 1325 miles, give or take. If your CPM is just 30 cents, you're netting 25 cents a mile, or about $330... for a 21-22 hour drive.

    Buying Tires

    Well, the five states with no sales tax are Alaska, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon and Delaware, so no sales tax there. Several states impose a small new tire fee, and most states have a small tire disposal fee, though. In Indiana, just like when you enter your DOT number when buying fuel and...

    It's the EO Court, which is a higher court, because people read this stuff and make decisions based on what they read. ;)

    Low prices are killing this month!ppl bending over like crazy!

    You didn't give it a time frame at all. You just made a flat statement that said the brokers are making more than the carriers and drivers combined. Could be once, could be all the time, could be anywhere in between. You also said, ". Brokers are loving it now a days..." so I have to assume that...

    Soooo, your only evidence that brokers actually make more than the carrier and drivers combined is.... because I said so. Got it.

    According to the Republican Party, that would be Trump. Rubio's the Republican candidate. Rubio takes the money and does what they want. Trump can't be bought. I'm still pulling for Bernie. Because Hillary can actually get stuff she wants through Congress and Bernie can't. Between Trump...

    I75 southbound closed ky

    If I were coming over on I-40 from Asheville heading up I-75 I'd be very tempted to use the wide-load routing and head up I-81 to Morristown and take 25E all the way up to Corbin.

    Recommend inverter?

    Weeellll, I'm not too sure about that. Granted, the Harbor Freight stuff is crap, that much is true. As for the ones found at truck stops, it depends. If you're a really big fan of the quality of RoadPro stuff, then the PowerDrive brand inverters are for you, because that's who makes them. As...
