    Garbage inspection, coming to your neighborhood?

    Very little in KY, as well. Louisville has separate garbage and recycling bins for pickup, though and have a pretty good recycling program in place. The recycling center opened up in town and it's been mostly grass roots word of mouth that have people recycling much of anything. They have a...

    Roof Heights

    The super high roof is a benefit if you're super tall. Or if you want to use it for an RV conversion. Some businesses I'm sure can benefit from it. But otherwise in expediting, the benefit is severely limited.

    Sprinter with reefer conversion

    No pressure. LOL You're not having to go down to 0 degrees or below, so both the V300 and the V520 should work just fine (assuming the van is insulated for that sort of thing). If you're out doing deliveries 4 or 5 hours a day, I'd probably go with the V300. If it's more like 8 hours-plus, I'd...

    Carrier Setup with New 3PL / Broker

    Yeah, there's a reason carriers and brokers don't make it brain-dead simple to sign on with them. They don't want to make it all that easy for brain-dead drivers to flood their ranks.

    Anyone use a camping tent propane heater for their Sprinter or cargo van?

    Most of the 12-volt appliances at truck stops (and at many RV stores) are just crap. The reason that coffee maker takes for-ever to heat water is it has to be a small enough amp draw not to fry the wires of the 12-volt socket. I think that one is an 8 amp (100 Watt) coffee maker. Bigger ones...

    Garbage inspection, coming to your neighborhood?

    There could be some significant due process issues if it's not all handled properly. But Seattle has already done a great job in reducing recyclables like cans, paper and plastic in landfills. The mindset just needs to be extended to biodegradables, as well. They did that in San Francisco...

    Multiple Carriers.

    Personally, I would describe it as more of a real sense of competition (between the carriers) and a false sense of accomplishment. :D

    Anyone use a camping tent propane heater for their Sprinter or cargo van?

    Me, blow a gasket? I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't, because I wouldn't mention running a 12-volt coffee maker off a cranking battery. :D

    You know about this, right? Ted Cruz has a pithy comment on it. Marco Rubio seems OK with it. Koch Brothers Plan to Spend $889 Million On 2016: Here?s What Else They Could Buy With the Cash - ABC News

    Carrier Setup with New 3PL / Broker

    Yeah, when you're signing up as a new carrier, if you don't already know where your loads are gonna come from, you've got a long row to hoe.

    That's actually the definition of, and her role as, a Fox News Liberal.

    Load1 (loade offer texts)

    Probably. But it doesn't really make much sense at Load One. At Panther we received load offers via text (and the QC), and while some people liked the texts, it was mostly just redundant. Load offers by text offered some benefit for those who were out of the truck, like in a restaurant or taking...

    Turbo express, canton, mi

    That's exactly it. Along with the "simple questions" we have unsubstantiated allegation of illegal activity thrown on. Like you said, if the allegations can be substantiated there are proper procedures and authorities to deal with those. Posting on EO is most definitely not the proper procedure...

    When you reach a knee-jerk conclusion without any evidence then and state no matter what they say later on it'll be BS, that's rabid ideological extremism. It's not emotional to say that. The only way in which it's personal is because you're the one who said it. Just because they have a motive...

    I don't know why I bother, but I'm gonna do it again... All journalism has a liberal bias. But having a liberal bias is not the same thing as disseminating liberal propaganda or in furthering a liberal agenda. Sure, you can cherry pick examples that show the exceptions to that, but they are...

    Emotional? No. There is no conveyance or words of emotion in that post, and no labels to shut down debate. Do you just pull random attack clichés out of a hat and toss them out there when you can't think of anything else to say? The reasons stated for flatly rejecting any alternative explanation...
