    Obama / Farrakhan Connection

    Dock high required

    It many times is the actual receiver. Quite a few places will only do dock high vehicles because they are union. Many union supplier/shops will only load a dock high vehicle. We have even had some request no roll up door vehicles. I believe that is because of the heighth and they likely...

    Roberts Express memories

    We use to have Ford's and they had a mega sleeper of 36 inches. They made a nice double bunk as one could use the sleeper and the other would lay across the front bench seat.

    Aluminum Cleaners?????

    We have had the best luck with Nightcreachers recipe. We do make a slight change to it. We cut a good dose of RainX into the mineral spirits before adding. This makes the polish job last longer.

    What looked and started like a good legitimate question got derailed by someone with a foot in their mouth.

    When is a D is better than a C

    That's funny. I have to agree that the 45 foot land yacht is what is needed for the camping trip.

    When is a D is better than a C

    Ateam wrote Money in the bank matters most to me. When we retire and go to buy a new sweater, the clerk will not ask for our ROI number. The clerk will ask for money. More than successful expediting is about the ratios, it is about the money. ROI is an abstract concept. Money is as real as it...

    OMG I am IMPRESSED

    It still needs a few tweeks but it is getting there. Having the information via the web has been a big plus. Once they get all the information up, I think they will be there.

    When is a D is better than a C

    Ateam As I said, Dave, we live in two different worlds. ROI is important in yours. It is not in mine. ============================== If return on investment means nothing in your world, I am quite ok with that as I have no vested interest. For the benefit of the new folks, I would advise...

    When is a D is better than a C

    Ateam quote "This flexibility (of how ROI is calculated) has a downside, as ROI calculations can be easily manipulated to suit the user's purposes, and the result can be expressed in many different ways. When using this metric, make sure you understand what inputs are being used...

    When is a D is better than a C

    It can be lengthy in detail, but for the purposes of a single post, I will try to summarize. Length may constitute boredom and the key points are missed. When I talk about ROI, I look at the percentage/amount of dollars invested, verses the return/risks on those invested dollars. Every...

    Unfrickinbelivable

    These kinds of posts drag on and on and they are never quite accurate. Panther dispatchers are not booking the loads that drivers see on their trucks. They are handled by another totally different department. And ......they are not on straight salary. Where do people get this stuff?

    When is a D is better than a C

    I would recommend a D unit, something that would carry 15K at least and something that is about 20 feet of cargo space (notice I am not saying box size). Lift gates are cheap if you don’t mind a used one but don’t get a reefer. So to answer the question, DO NOT LOOK at getting a truck for a...

    Expediting and Health

    Oh yeah. Diane made me quit my cigar smoking when we moved into the truck. Around the house it was OK. But in the truck's tight quarters, it would not be. Buy her a Cuban and smoke outside.

    swift gets raided by FBI

    Additional information is that they were charging $3900 for driving training if you didn't complete the course in 11 days. Need 50 drivers?..........bring in 100 and make a nice profit. Unless the school is tied to a accredited college, it always seems like there is some kind of scam. Just...
