I don't know about that beaming stuff. I'm afraid I'd end up like Mel Brooks in Spaceballs with my butt on backwards. And, how come Kirk and Spock always had to go to the transporter room when they were always just beaming people from one spot to another?

Most of my work is done by the International dealer in Alpena,Mi. Anything I need that isn't on hand is there the next day. I don't know who their suppliers are, but they do a great job.

There's a mention in this thread that 3,000 mile oil change is a rip-off. It's appropriate for the way most people use their cars. 10 miles to work, 3 miles to the store, ect. This is the type of useage that is hard on oil. Certainly, it is overkill for an expediter. I go 6-8k on my...

Something north or west of Detroit would be great. I think the problem is the cost of the land and the taxes. That area has gone crazy in the last 20 or so years.

I did'nt know you could'nt eat them. Where is the profit in having them? When my ex and I moved to northern Michigan and our little 40, we bought 2 steers to finish and butcher. We kept a half for ourselves and sold to 3 others. We named them "Lunch" and Dinner" and put pictures of them on our...

Great post Leo! Way to start a fight!;-) Hilary? President? Canada's looking pretty good, eh?

I started with them the first of the year. I'm happy so far. I've had some good weeks and some bad, it is the first quarter. I, too, like being with a small company.

I started with a new company the first of the year and everyone I've met so far has been very friendly, except one guy. We were delivering at 0600 to one of our regular customers. We pulled in about the same time and he backed up to the door first. I walked up as he was getting unloaded to say...

The southern states can't justify the expense of the level of equipment needed for a couple of bad storms a year. I'm not defending here, just observing. In the late '80's I was going through Memphis when it snowed 5" and the town was almost paralyzed. In Michigan life just moves a little bit...

Bryan, no debt during the Bubba years? You must have heard that from that female, liberal, wack-job you listen to on the radio. Actually, you're confusing debt with budget deficit. We have had debt for many decades and will for many to come. Numbers can be easily juggled and that is how the...

RE: Need info on Expedite Companies based in the M TST is based in Windsor. They go that far east on a VERY ocassional basis.

The Sprinter has been around for a while now and I've yet to meet, or hear of, someone that has reached 500k and is happy. Or, even just reached 500k. My experience is that the higher the miles, the more unhappy Sprinter owners seem to be. There also seems to be the feeling that that engine will...

AARP has caused problems with any legislation being passed for more strict criteria in license renewal for the elderly. Think about that the next time a blue hair that can barely see over the steering wheel pulls out in front of you.

RE: Need info on Expedite Companies based in the M I've never heard of an expedite company based in Eastern Canada. It's also very rare that an expediter goes that far east in Canada. It does happen, but not often.

LDB, you say that vans will be logging in a year or two. Is this from a source or an opinion? I've heard nothing. It's my opinion that if it were going to happen it would have with the recent changes. I will be buying a van(or something) by the end of the year. If we are going to have to log...

I support OOIDA because they are the prominant voice for us in Washington. But it is tough to point at anything of significance they have acomplished for us. In fact, the industry has gone downhill since the association was formed. They were organized in the mid-seventies and the late seventies...

Made me think of Cosmo Craemer on the back of that fire truck. Too funny...

My E-350 came with Wrangler H/T's. I've stuck with them. I run 80psi all around, rotate every 40k and replace all 4 every 180-190k. I've gone to 200k but that was pushing it a bit. On the subject of a 6-banger, I've only met one guy that had one and when he got a new van he was ELATED to have a...

Danny, I have a policy through Brown & Brown for $91 a month. If you want, I will e-mail you some info on what it pays if you are off.

There's a grain or two of truth in most stereotypes. Recruiters are no exception. Most are decent people, but the ones you should avoid are out there. This is from experience.
