    An open question to owners of unmarked van companies.

    Depends on how many posts you've set to show per-page in your profile settings. Yeah, but you've only been expediting since about June, and for a little while prior to 9/11. The longer you do this, the greater the chances of you getting questioned by security or asked to leave a parking lot...

    An open question to owners of unmarked van companies.

    I, for the life of me, cannot figure out how someone could read this entire thread, comprehend what they read, and conclude "nosy" as the sole reason for the concern about unlettered vehicles in this industry. Wow.

    The People Who Say Money Can't Buy Happiness Are Wrong

    Earning to money to make you happy is different than spending that same money in order to be happy.

    Wasps. Wasps are evil in and of themselves. They were either created by the Devil in a flash of brilliant giddiness, or by God at 06:30 after an all-nighter with a rack of ribs and jug of apple brandy.

    An open question to owners of unmarked van companies.

    Well, I would think the flip side of fear of the unknown is "fearless (or unconcern) of the unknown". Curiosity by definition is an investigation to learn more, an intense desire to know and understand, and isn't usually motivated by an unconcern for, or being fearless of something. But in any...

    So you're in a straight truck, and lettered. If you're running under your own authority, you're running under your lettering, no one else's, regardless of where you get your loads.

    Well OK, then. I stand corrected. FedEx has "much more freight" than anybody else.

    I know exactly what you mean. FWIW, after being diagnosed with high blood sugar with a very high A1c, and being overweight with high cholesterol, and smoking, the priorities were to get the weight down, lower the cholesterol, and get the blood sugar under control. Three months ago I weighed...

    An open question to owners of unmarked van companies.

    Well, having the FedEx name on the doors is what "lettered" means, so you're lettered. DOT/MC numbers is a DOT requirement for Commercial Motor vehicles, which most cargo vans are not. Box lettering is brand advertising. I was lettered at panther, with the lettering on the doors. The big black...

    Interested in subcontracting drivers for FedEx Custom Critical

    Sounds like all this guy wants to do is be a truck owner and have someone drive his truck. Kind of like a fleet owner, only with one truck. Not sure why he's so stuck on FedEx since they really don't have "much more freight" at all, but the process is the same regardless. You lease the truck on...

    Haven't see that question yet, but a drain is the pattern formed by streams, rivers and lakes in a particular drainage basin, where a drainage basin is the place where water congregates before finally it drains into some larger body of water, like a river or ocean. In the case of the Frank and...

    An open question to owners of unmarked van companies.

    Hey everyone, I might be carrying 2000 pounds of little metal stampings that even the people who stamped them don't know what part of the car they are used for. That's the same as the "less tickets" rationale. It's based on an irrational fear rather than in fact. How many times during those...
