Peaking will get you a little bit more than 2 or 3 watts, mine modulates 25 watts. And, they also improve the reception. Even at 25 watts modulation, when the air is noisey you can't talk a great distance. But late at night and early in the morning when it's quiet, you can have a decent...

Mugg, most of the time expediting is a one-way deal. Sometimes it will take you to a place where you are likely to get a load reasonably quick. Other times you move empty to a better area. From time to time lately, I will be set up for the next day while I am on my way to deliver. I thought that...

I'm just curious if you test drove an automatic in a class 8. The only one I ever drove was back in the early 80's and it was a total piece of bovine excrement. But, I've talked to drivers who are using the new ones, drivers who thought they would never use them, that absolutly rave about them...

It's the web site you're looking at.

Since you have a cargo van, I strongly recommend mounting the antenae in the middle of the roof to get the ground plane that picbuc talked about. That's where I put my K40. Wilson also makes an excellant antenae. I have a Cobra 25 that is "peaked and tweaked" and it will talk 20 plus miles when...

It would, in part, probably depend on what your parameters for part-time would be. Some companies won't get involved in something like that because it would be too much bother to keep track of what you want to do and when. Others might be glad to have you do whatever you can.

I guess the Mayor thought that no one would get on a school bus. Do you think he just MIGHT have a problem in the next election? That is, if there is still a city of New Orleans.

All this talk about what should have been done by all levels of government. We're in a country founded on principles of self-reliance. On Sunday morning, if you had a functional auyomobile with half a tank of gas... OK, I guess I've said it enough.

I started my expediting career with them 12/98. I stayed with them until 9/99. They had too many vans then and they still do. I'm very busy right now, and many here also seem too be. Your story is very much like what I went through with them.

Expediting is a cyclical bussiness in the best of times. Right now I'm pretty busy. But... I think if you put half a dozen so-called "economic experts" in a room today and asked them what the next 6 months were going to be like, you would probably get 6 different guesses. With everything that...

My company says that it is not required by regulation. Many companies still want it done, I would assume to look good for the insurance company.

We've all heard the old saying that someone "did'nt have enough sense to come in out of the rain". Snipervictim, if you really read message 32 then you know I'm taking issue with those that could have left and chose not to. While I think that even the poorest people who live in a place like New...

Criticism can be constructive. When you see a man on CNN crying and saying over and over "Why didn't I leave?", you feel sorry, but criticism is appropriate. The human aspect of this tragedy would'nt have been as bad if everyone that could have left would have.

An edit here: I should have said much of what is being done is funded by the American Taxpayer. I should'nt leave out the Red Cross or private businesses such as Wal- Mart that are stepping up in a big way.

goodtude, what you see as "crying" and "asigning blame" is, in reality, a lively disscussion and that is what a forum like this is for. We all are "helping someone" and "putting up" by going to work every day and paying our taxes. Everything going on down there is funded by the American...

I think that was a shot at Teacel. Good to see you back on here. Sounds like life is treating you well from what I've read here the last couple days. You may not always agree with him, but you will know exactly how he feels.

Great post Davekc. Race isn't an issue here. Stupidity is. These people were warned, they should have left. If you choose to live in a city that is 10ft below sea level on the gulf coast, you know you are in harms way. The media would like us to believe ALL these people had no means to leave...

I've yet to hear any talk of the real important issue here: What about Mardi Gras?!??!

Just a few months ago 10 cents was reasonable. That was then... My problem is that the vast majority of my surcharges don't even approach that. I've been busy enough lately to get some doubles and that has helped. It was much better when doubles meant making money! Turning down any freight being...

We're being told that most of these people are so down-trodden that they did'nt have the resources to move. While watching CNN today I could'nt help but notice that quite a few people were smoking. Smoking isn't cheap. It seems to me that someone who can afford smokes and has their wits about...
