    Attention Minnesota Expediters

    Ummm???? Well, it certainly looks like some thoughts to ponder after reading all this.

    On a gloomy day with GM's woes, a bit of hope as stocks surge.

    Until they figure a way to pay for the cost of Obama's massive spending programs, anything you see now is only temporary. Should have listened to Romney last year year. He said then they should have cut the money off to GM and let them go bankrupt. Surprise! Look where we are at now, several...

    How Will California Budget Woes Affect Expediters?

    That is hilarious. I think the OP believes he is much smarter than the ones that may be reading.

    Attention Minnesota Expediters

    I heard it today on the news "And while you are twittering from afar away, people are reading the messages and then going to your home and cleaning it out".

    Attention Minnesota Expediters

    Just another reason of a long list of why I wouldn't have a reefer. Is the state paying for your time? Probably not. I would just be as happy if the ice cream to California arrived melted. And they wonder why they are broke? But, there could be a opportunity like Canada if someone wants to...

    need info

    Might have your hands full looking for a smaller carrier that can use your equipment. Most of the small carriers aren't very effective in utilizing a reefer straight with a lift gate. I think you are pretty much stuck with Panther, Fedex, or Landstar.

    Sensationalist Bias

    They need to replace that with another episode of "Deadliest Catch"

    Virtual Truck Stops

    I don't really care on the when. I am more concerned that it is done right.

    As GM goes so goes America

    Cars that are lighter and smaller, may not be the answer for GM. Unless they really raise the tariffs on imports. In 2010 South Korea and China are to debut there new cars that are 10k and under. What I see in order for GM to be competitve in a world economy is to start shipping production...

    I need your input asap

    I would certainly find that of value. Even more so with this Virtual Terminal madness going on.

    I need your input asap

    That was kind of my thinking until I heard some of those taped phone calls. OMG. Some people totally amaze me.

    I need your input asap

    In theory, I like the idea. For Panther to administrate it, would bring a whole host of issues to deal with. Everything from Elite loads (location issues), to just the plain jealousy factors. As they say, "in a perfect world". On the status change, that should be automatically sent to the qc...

    *&^%^ Speed Limiters!!

    If it is on a trailer, it isn't transferred out of the trailer. Like a sealed load. Only the power unit is switched. Customer still gets the same service.

    Still using Romulus as a transfer station.

    *&^%^ Speed Limiters!!

    I would agree. The only adjustment outside of having a "Canadian only" trucks is something that may be a reefer load. Still no big deal. Just pick it up with a tractor and transfer the trailer to the Canadian truck at the border. Nothing complicated. If the load doesn't pay enough to run it...

    *&^%^ Speed Limiters!!

    With auto and truck manufacturing pulling out of Canada, hardly seems worth the effort. As far as specialty freight, same problem. Just not enough up there to fool with. The Cat runs a seperate fleet of trucks up there, so for the moment, I hope they keep it that way. That seems like the logical...

    Why is it?

    I don't know Greg Can't imagine many of them feeling too "special" nowadays with some of the cheap loads I keep seeing them hauling. Couple that with a high dollar truck investment and....well ....you know the rest.

    info for the new maps

    The owners map is showing where the "virtual terminals" are. Not really sure if that is a final version or not?
