    sweet WATER

    Most of the time it is marked. We used the fresh water for showers and doing dishes etc. Anything for drinking or brushing teeth, we purchased water by the gallon at Walmart. We bought 5 or 6 gallons at a time and kept one in the truck and the rest in a outside tool box. They were roughly 50 or...

    can this truck be salvaged

    Some flooded equipment is salvageable. In your case with water running in the windows............no. Truck is basically totaled.

    Midwest Expediting

    I would always have a concern regardless of industry when I see a company operating under a handful of names. ATEX, Rush, Chase, Midwest Expediting, C.Chicago, Wholesale Expediting etc. They all have the same phone numbers or are one or two digits off. Doesn't mean they are bad, but would...

    Not to offend Big Cats but...

    You can't force independent contractors to wear a uniform. That is in direct violation of IRS rules with regards to determining status. Not the only item, but is listed as one of them. If a contractor wants to wear Panther logo'd shirts or jackets, they can be had at this link. Garment...

    Just Curious....

    They currently have a handful of their own trucks, but Ark is correct. Most of their expedite is done by Panther and a few others. They offer the service to their customers, but little expedite is actually moved on their own trucks.

    Obamma is Ahead in the Polls by a land slide

    No stories or BS here. Explain to me anything that Obama has done that would qualify him as a president? Again....nothing complicated. I have a open mind and could vote either way. Just looking at the obvious.

    new to expedited

    I think the subject did go a little off topic with a financial planning course. Wonder if he needs a 401k plan since he would be self employed? Better not ask. To answer the question put forth, yes there are companies hiring vans. Use the company guide on the home page and call their...

    Yes Cheri....the KW is far ahead of the FL70. Not sure I understand the concept of just a radio on the back wall of the sleeper? FL's usually have one in the headliner?. Maybe I don't want to know:eek: As far as 3 to 4 hours on a starter replacement, they must rebuilding on the bench as...

    Just Curious....

    Not really except for some short dedicated runs. I think they decided they couldn't do it as well as the Cat. They do have some nice loads every so often.

    Hey Cheri I thought you were driving a KW? Anyways, I would probably check with shops that are tied to the engine. If a Cat engine, go to a Cat dealer etc. Probably would be much faster. Possibly a KW or Pete dealer, but I would call to see how fast they could get you in It is a quick job...

    Another Freightliner horror story

    As I suspected, they appear to be consistent with the type of service they offer:rolleyes:

    Air con outage

    Truck isn't that old. Aftermarket parts could likely be had at a local NAPA or Autozone store. Only difference is watch for whether parts are new, remanufactured, or rebuilt.

    Good luck on the fishing and retirement. Always enjoyed talking with you. Don't be a stranger, and do stop in from time to time.

    Load boards

    Certainly one of the places a wireless card would be handy. Without it, you would have to copy and paste each state and drop it in a file for off line viewing. Could probably get by with just using the major freight lane states. Don't really need WY or the dakotas.

    Racist observation

    Is the following a racist observation? I have been following a lot of the midwestern floods as Grace and I have many friends in some of these regions. What I find of interest is that in the midwestern floods, I have heard no cries for money cards, free food, FEMA trailers, and guaranteed...

    Expedite Expo Expedite Expo 2008 - It's Your Show...

    Well....thanks to you. You put on a hell of a show. I actually like it better than I do Louisville. Easier to converse with friends, easier on my feet, and I don't need to see 100 grain hauling trailers.

    McCain may be the best pick of the evils , only because his reaction time might be slower:rolleyes:

    Take Care

    Bottom line is neither one has a clue with what to do with anything. It will be just a race with either one to who screws things up at the fastest pace.
