    Hot spots...

    The Grand Rapids area is a good area to get loads out of for many (not all) companies. It is also a good area for return loads with the right company. Some people feel that if you don't want to spend 6 to 10 weeks on the road you aren't worthy to be an expeditor. Frankly everyone is different...

    DH miles

    I'd rather invest a few miles in a shower than go through life in a foul haze. It's bad enough being an old chubby guy as it is. I don't need to broadcast my presence by aroma therapy. Vans tend to deadhead a lot more than the bigger trucks anyway. This year seems to be the poorest example of...

    BULLY PULPIT

    There is no excuse for that string of groaners. Business needs to pick up so we won't have time for this nonsense. Is it time for someone to say "its time to get back on target" yet????? I'm to sexy for my hair, my hair that's why it's trying to not be there, be there

    Sprinters

    I stepped out of a D truck and into a Sprinter about 15 months ago. My reasoning was that I was a single truck and I couldn't get paying loads and drive legal unles I did. In fact, compliant single D trucks sit as much as vans do. My reasoning was sound but the van market is SATURATED and then...

    BULLY PULPIT

    I have been trying to take a little break from this site but I just had to wade in on this subject. Unfortunately, in order for a forum to be a forum we have to have people of varying interests, experience and temperment for it to be of any use. Any group of people whether it be a church, a club...

    Illegal U-turn or vehicular homicide??

    There is no doubt considering the known facts that the tt driver was at fault for the accident.....but...... I have serious doubts that there are any blameless drivers out there. All of us have made mistakes. The only difference between us and this driver is that we got away with it. Everyone...

    Big Time First Quarter Blues

    I'm not as experienced as many on this site but after a little experience I made myself a few rules to follow. Number one on the list is never change companies in the first quarter. never never....Because 1. Your company looks really bad to you in the first quarter. How do they look when it's...

    I have no objection to someone who is ugly. It would be nice to have something in common with my nations' leaders.;)

    So Much for Trust

    I'm wth you Pappy. Lots of companies look the other way when they know you can't be running legal but you're on your own if something happens. Seems like a double standard to me. Many companies encourage cheating loggs but hang you out to dry if you get caught. Or better yet, dispatch wants you...

    Huh?

    The first time I ever drove one of those big ol bend in the middle trucks all by myself was in a blizzard. Grand Rapids MI to Tipp City OH and then back to Lima OH. Trucks were in the ditch everywhere. I had to pry my fingers off the wheel. Probably took 2 years off my life.

    RE: I need massive feedback from long-time cargo v I know of one company that seems to like the E450 cube vans but if you don't like it there you'll have a hard time moving on to somewhere else. The van business seems to be very tight now for the last year and a half but the money you're...

    What is happening to the British?

    No-one is like France. Not even a French Canadian. I would think maybe they are becoming more like an even more unconventional group. Californians;)

    Going to Grand Rapids, MI - YUCK!!!!

    I just looked you up on the profiles. This type of weather shouldn't be that much worse than what you're used to at home. Maybe just a little bit more in lake effect snow but not as much as some places like Buffalo. Go 30 miles west of here and they get some snow.

    How do you feel about back to back runs?

    This has happend to me before and I actually took one of them because I took it before I woke up enough to realize what I'd done to myself. Don't do it man. You're asking for trouble and it will definately eventually get you. ...TJ
