    New $5 Bill

    You can almost get a carmel machiatto with three shots of expresso for that too. Only with that I get about two hundred miles. That must be about 2000 mpg.

    This just in

    I would imagine their point was to bring attention to the prices. In that, they succeeded. If they hope to bring the prices down, I hope that works. Let's all hold our breaths and see. :cool:

    This just in

    I am watching Fox news, and at this very moment, several trucks are surrounding the capital building in Washington, protesting the cost of diesel fuel. The footage they showed was mostly gravel haulers.

    Panther Drivers

    If you build it they will come. If you don't charge too much, they will come back.

    Most Bang for your buck in a Tractor Trailer

    I never drove a Century class Freightliner, so no comment there. It is not sexy, but I have driven several international tractors, and they seemed pretty much problem free. I have to vote hands down for the T600 Kenworth. It has a small cab which is great. It was well laid out. The quality...

    Rain-X

    I haven't used it on this van, though I used it in the past on various tractors, and I really liked it. I found that it was a good idea to clean the wiper blades first. It has been so long I cannot remember, though I think I used alcohol to clean them with. I think that stopped the black...

    Newbie? Oldbie?

    :D Yeah, I was born at night, but not last night. When it comes to expediting, I am still as green as that grinning guy up there. With the qualifications you mentioned above, I guess I can say I am an expediter now though, even if a new one.

    Fuel Mileage in Cargo Vans

    I have not been doing this for long, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn last night. You are talking about going across the country, and I think it is unlikely you will get many loads like that running solo no matter what kind of truck you drive. I am averaging about 1000 miles per week, and I see...

    A Coveted Compliment

    I think the only thing more rare than someone noticing the positive things a christian does is not noticing the negative things a christian does.

    Sex after death

    I thought she was going to say, oh Fred, you must be in hell. Funny rabbit tale (tail).

    How to get a load

    I have figured out a sure way to get a load. 1. Go to the thread called I am here. 2. Find out where I am. 3. Go somewhere else. This has worked for me twice now, so it may be a fluke(s). p.s. I posted this in loading dock, because this is where the jokes go. Still, it seems to me it...

    I Am Here

    I am waiting for a load in Battle Creek, Michigan. I am home. I am not trying to be home. :D

    What A joke

    I think Gregg was referring to the sarcastic order of the Buddhists.

    Newbie? Oldbie?

    I contributed to those statistics. My first accident was after I had a little over a million miles in a TT. Yes the ceremony is like a any other initiation, you go through the hazing like Animal house and then they tell you some deep secrets like what is ROI, then you run around the place with...

    Newbie? Oldbie?

    When does one stop being a newbie? What are you called then? Is there some kind of ceremony, or secret decoder ring? Maybe it is when you stop asking questions, and start answering them. I don't know cause I am a newbie.

    The Expo

    Thanks Gregg, I did not see the other post. I know I should probably look this up, only I have actually been very busy, so I will ask, when is the Expo? or better yet, where can I go read about it? If anyone thinks I should look this up myself, just don't answer.:rolleyes:

    The Expo

    I want to go because so many people from this forum seem to comment about it. Could you post some information about it? Like parking info, cost, etc.?
