    To team or not to team?

    Seeing a ‘hire alert’ for teams out of Chicago for UPS got me to thinking. Yes it is early in the morn and I haven’t had my coffee yet but I think I make a coherent statement. It is a fact that load offers have been in many cases getting to the point that many will not take them at all...

    Define Honest

    been there - done that. I would just not worry about it - some people are afraid to say anything and others don't like to say anything and may more don't know how to return phone calls. Not knowing who this person is, I can't say anything about him specifically. I recommend that if you go...

    Finnally, I can post this!

    After reading the article about the Mayoral race, not to beat up on the people of Medina but where are the ethics of the people? The only thing that he is good for is picking up garbage on the side of the road as part of a work release program. Oh I just realized he sounds like he is trying to...

    My trip to Wal-Mart

    What would you do? Just to tell you, I wanted to get this done once the first bolt was messed with. I have had to deal with a messed up vehicle before because I got p*ssed off at the mechanics and it took me longer to fix it than to deal with idiots to get is fixed the first time to my...

    Public schools, shootings and knee jerk reaction

    RE: Public schools, shootings and knee jerk reacti You know that violence in schools have been here for a while. I started to read a book published in the early 60's, “Crime and the Studentâ€. I picked up the book out of the free book pile at King Books in Detroit a while ago. Interesting...

    Need a qustion answered should go under Trucks but

    RE: Need a qustion answered should go under Trucks Check the negative or ground cables to make sure, especially the one(s) on the engine going to the frame. Many times the cable on the engine to the frame is bad and will cause this type of situation.

    I REALLY DID TRY TO SEARCH FOR THIS ANSWER

    It is really easy. I got the tools still in my van so I can't tell you sizes but first buy the fittings and get a tap (pipe type tap) and a drill bit for the size. I think I used a 1/4" zerk fitting with a pipe tread taper (they make straight threaded zerks), a 15/64" drill bit or maybe a...

    BTU

    Actually the higher the R value the better but there are some catches to that and how it is applied. You can use the pink stuff or use that Polyisocyanurate Insulation w/very thin aluminum sheet attached (also known as R-Maxx). I would also use the best and strongest 3M adhesive you can get...

    IS MY THINKING WRONG?

    David Said; "The 304 miles would have required approximately 14.5 gallons of diesel fuel. At $2.59/gal that would cost me $37.50. A FSC at 9cpm would have returned $27.36. I would have to absorb the $10.14 from my loaded mile rate. That makes my loaded mile rate drop from 80cpm to 76cpm."...

    Let's export capitalism!!

    After all the hoopla with Chavez, I read this article tonight, "With cheap gas, Venezuelans buy big SUVs" and thought it is just right for us to point out that his country folk are not thinking like he wants them to think. Also I hope they all get the pollution that they claim we create with all...

Well seeing that the...

    Hows the the new FedEx CC FSC program working for

    RE: Hows the the new FedEx CC FSC program working Well seeing some don't work for FedEx or don't get a chance to read other threads, the issue is that we as owners are now faced with a flat rate for the FSC, which translates into not getting 100% of the fuel surcharge and less money for many...

    LAPTOP USERS

    One user here. HP Pavilion ZV6000 (I had to look) Cost $800 - 50% off the retail price plus got a free printer (still in the box) when ordered through HP store. I bought this from HP because; Gateway did not have the options I wanted. Dell would not allow me to lease a laptop but I...

    New Express 1 Truck Lease Program

    I can not find my note book with all my class 8 stuff, and with my memory of late can't remember the name of the places. There is one place in central Ohio and one in Indiana that not only does streching but also laser align the frame.

    What kind of ad is this ?

    Sorry guys (and gals) here is where I criticize the author for his/her spelling and lack of intelligence to make an effort to make it look like a real ad. - NOTE - I admit to misspelled words, but I didn't write the ad and yes I have a dictionary, just didn't use it!

    Public schools, shootings and knee jerk reaction

    I read this article from AP, “Bush: Gov't will work to secure schools†http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061007/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush I am not really of the mind set that the government should do a thing. The idea of moving 28,000 kids form public schools to private schools really bothers me and...
