    How Dependant is Expediting?

    >good subject, i heard gm was going to make parts in china >and then fly them over here. They already do this for a few things. It is cheaper for them to have a plane load of parts shipped here than to have parts made here in the US and shipped by truck. The bean counters use the McNamara...

    New Web Site

    Guns and Expediters

    Thanks Terry I have a few more comments. I only warn some that are ignorant to the facts that affect all of us. It is the same old story that there is a “need” for specific weapons, primarily a firearm of some type to protect you and your truck. But a great number of people don’t even know how...

    Fatal Truck-Bus Crash in Wis. 10/17

    Sorry for the out burst but a few of you know how I feel about Buses. The driver of the bus should be brought up on charges (nothing less than murder), Chippewa Trails should be fined big time and the insurance underwriters should start telling these bus companies to put governors on these...
