Sorry, but I'll talk to you any way I want to. You don't get to be condescending to me, and then whine like a little girl when I'm condescending right back. Every post you've ever made to me has been either condescending or rude, and none of it provoked. Why? I have no idea. But until you learn...

They looked Asian. So they were probably from Japan, or China, or Seattle.

I think the parents should lose their kids and be locked up, because, you know, nothing happened. But it MIGHT have!

The Enemy shares a birthday with Roger Maris, Randy Johnson, Ted Kluszewski, Arnold Palmer, and Bill O'Reilley.

All true, and it wouldn't be much of a problem if it were just a one-time installation cost they had to absorb and/or spread out. The reality is, just the computer hardware and software alone can be a deal breaker for a smaller carrier. The computer costs are roughly the same for 20 trucks (even...

If they don't have a problem with Obama's caliber, there's no way they could possibly have a problem with Biden's.

What changes is the cost of doing those logs, and the cost of retaining them. Large carriers can better absorb the costs of installing the EOBR (estimated by the FMCSA to be $1700, which by all accounts is seriously on the low side), and of maintaining them, and of replacing them every 5 years...

Thanks for answering those questions. I'm not sure why the personal shot was necessary, but if I already knew everything, I wouldn't be asking the questions, now would I? That's great. But until you post for people how to get out of the box and what to do when they are there, it's just another...

Actually I don't. The assertion was that an O/O is more likely to do very well running with multiple carriers. It is that assertion that must be fully explained and backed up. It is a claim without any substantiation, and any such claim about anything can always be refuted without...

No, of course I don't have a magical device that let's me see the world of all expediter. What an absurd question. That's because you clearly don't understand the terms "responsible" and "merit". Responsible is giving people honest information that allows them to make the most informed decisions...

Yeah, like I said, his example doesn't really translate well to expediting. It may very well be the case in expediting that e-logs can make you some money, but I believe that if it is, it's a case of the red light thing where it just so happens that you get a load here or there where a few extra...

Depends on which carrier.

It can be kind of like hitting traffic lights. You can hit one light that causes you to hit several others, or get behind a slow fart a few miles down the road, whereas if you had had a green light way back there you'd have missed the other lights and the old fart. That one red light could cost...

I've been there twice, and will go back again. It's been a while since I was last there, 1994, when it just so happened that they had a live viewing of the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet as it slammed into Jupiter. That was kewl. They have a Space Shot liftoff simulator that will shoot you straight...

Are those 4 leased on with multiple carriers, or are they running their own authority and are in-effect a partner carrier with the carriers you mentioned? Who's authority are they running under? Please explain this super sekrit method of obtaining expedited freight. There are exceptions to...

Well, just a basic knowledge of aerodynamics should tell you that there will be an improvement. A Gap Fairing alone or Air Tabs on the side of the tractor can add 2% to your fuel economy. The same knowledge should tell you that ridiculous claims of 10-20% would be unlikely. The most notable...

The reality is, an O/O running for multiple carriers is NOT likely to do any better than those signed on with one carrier. They may do well, but that's hardly evidence for doing better. Multiple eyes looking for BFE loads certainly sounds better, but the reality it that all those eyes are...

Fleets who do not operate at all in California are getting trailer skirts. They certainly aren't doing so because of CARB. Some are doing it, along with low rolling resistance tires, nitrogen and/or pressure monitoring systems, and other improvements to be EPA Smartway Certified. Others are...

The best height for e-track in a van is on the floor, with the e-track flush with the plywood deck. You may want to supplant floor e-track with some on the walls, as a few loads can be better secured from the sides. But in a van, the vast majority of loads are best secured with straps on the...

For my money, the most honest three and a half minutes of television, EVER, is a test pattern, which you rarely see anymore.
