From Preacher's post on another thread "First, on Monday night / Tuesday morning, at around 2:30am I was rushed by ambulance to the hospital after having a heart attack. By 10:00am I was injected with dye up through my groin area and they discovered that I had a 100% blockage of my right...

To Kswish - Ken S. (Pardon the length) <I have noticed lately that more and more people are disappearing on this site. I used to come to this site on a daily basis seeking info about expediting. I dont get here as regularly but I get here as often as I can.> Ken, I have to begin my response...

Actually, most of my weird loads were in my pre-expediting courier days in the late '80's - early '90's where we would take anything that would fit in the truck.(In this case, my trusty Astro cargo van). *Got a load of a thousand pounds of frozen egg whites is cans out of central Ohio. The...

Check out Lucy Perillo at Pardon Services in Winnipeg, MB: www.bordercrossing.ca/pardon/about.html We've done a couple of articles about her and people she's helped. Jeff

No problem, Sounds like you've got a good one! I believe that true dedicated runs in expediting are indeed rare, at least those routes that are priced at typical expediting tariffs. I know that Teacel has had a few regular routes similar to yours, only with multiple stops. I interviewed a...

Thanks to Teacel for starting this thread! My folks emailed me this morning, they're safe in the Bradenton area. They say not much damage in their area. Glad to hear that davekc and RichM are doing OK, hope that applies as well to all other expediters in the path of this storm. Jeff

Slowhand, Yes, some of the companies have the clearances necessary for those specialized handling, government loads. Look for an upcoming article on Landstar Express America's "AA&E" division - Arms, Ammunition and Explosives. Jeff

redytrk, Oops! My bad! I thought you were referring to a news item I posted a few weeks ago about All-Types' recruiting initiative found at: http://www.expeditersonline.com/artman/publish/article_001740.html I should have looked more carefully at your post in which you referred to the...

[/b] redytrk, I think there might be a misunderstanding here about how they will "beat any competitors price". I believe that's directed toward prospective contractors and that they will try to offer competitive compensation in comparison with other carriers. Jeff

There's no doubt that Terry and Rene are great folks! It's also well-known that Terry is an experienced and knowledgeable expediter. But, have you ever noticed that he never seems to be there when the tab for the coffee comes around? And, have you ever parked your van next to him in the...
