Furball Bob? I like it. :D

For some reason those kinds of "prank" ads are really popular in Europe. Much more so than in America. There's even a name for it - Prankvertising. A woman in California sued Toyota over their Aygo prank commercial after she was convinced she was being stalked. Toyota settled that one out of...

Everybody. Light bulbs are designed with lifespan of a certain number of hours. Lifespan hours is reduced by potholes and rough roads, ambient temperature, installation errors (not properly secured, touching the bulb with your fingers thereby getting body oils on the bulb), and quality of...

T-shirt Week in KC. I get a call, "We have several loads for tomorrow. One with stops in Springfield and Joplin, one with two drops in Wichita, one to Lawrence and Topeka, one to Overland Park, and one to Olathe." They all pay the same flat rate. I can pick and choose, or not choose any of...

Your posts have been very informative and helpful. More than 40 posts in the thread, and yours are the only posts to offer any information and insight. Thank you. Your posts are the kind that people will Bookmark.

Not a lot, but there is some. You may have to sit a day or three. It's mostly oil services related, the odd pump or valve part. Some going to warehouses and some repaired and headed back to the oil fields. I've had loads from Odessa and Midland going to other parts of Texas, Oklahoma and...

There's an app for that. Seriously, they make rangefinder and height (and width) apps. How accurate they are depends on you. But many rangefinders for the golf course can be used to measure height. They rangefinder just needs a tilt axis or angle measurement. Cheap rangefinders (most of them)...

In years past it was pretty it was a pretty widely abused deduction. Starting in 2013 I think it was, the IRS greatly simplified the home office deduction. It still must be your primary place of business and used exclusively for work, but now instead of a complicated mess of percentages and...

In the same vane (vane, get it? vane) of weather, global warming and all that... and of the truths of the Graphtoons ...

But your post did not address the topic of the thread. The original question of the thread is "What is the FedEx Custom Critical load board?" and it's a question to which you have yet to provide any information, insight or answers to. Prolly should have said that, instead of suggesting that both...

I do love a good irony. So far in this thread all you've done is attack two members collectively without offering up any knowledge, insight or substance as to why. You say, "... while valuable in certaininstances it doesn't apply in this case." Well why not? Why doesn't it apply in this case...

Is this load board your primary way of getting loads now... or is someone trying to complicate the simple?

I should probably add that for every one of these loads, I'll have one did $1.30. And considering John reached into his left front pocket and pulled out some change and handed it to me for 2 days layover, it's OK.

It does when you consider that when he called me about the load he told me everything there was to know about it.... eeeexx-cept what it paid. :confused2:

Not only do yours and DAT's idea of a 'truck stop' not always agree, but clearly you and I have very different definitions for "decent." Perhaps in the future of you could be more precise in your questions and more exacting in your requirements, then any answers you might receive can be more...

We put in a perfectly good bid at 85 cents to the truck for Minneapolis to outside of San Antonio, and was blown out of the water by someone who bid it 68 cents all-in. I wonder if they even have any insurance at all. <snort>
