You could also go down to Home depot or Lowes and grab some pallets from the rear of the building and toss hem in there. I'm more interested in a picture of Star licking a pallet. Then again, the way the mind works, it's not much of a journey from "pallet" to "wood" to other euphemistic...

In Laredo, they celebrate Washington's Birthday for an entire month, from mid-January to the end of February (it's happening right now, this very minute!), because, apparently, Washington did soooo much for Laredo and Tejas. It is the largest celebration of its kind in the United States with...

I do. He clicked on a "Download Firefox" button and either did or did not realize he was downloading a beta version. It could have happened several versions ago. Once you've got a beta version installed, the automatic updates will be updates to the beta versions, not the release versions. For...

Regardless of the facts of the case? It's things like what? Things like a teacher making a mistake? That's funny. So, you pulled your kids out of public school because private school and home school teachers never make mistakes? Or is it because schools have milk available for kids who want...

Better to worry over it now, than regret it later.

48x48 is the maximum standard size. There is no one, single "standard" pallet size - there are several standards as defined by the ISO. The most common pallet size in North America is the GMA (Grocery Manufacturers' Association) pallet, which is 40x48, and accounts for more than 30% of the...

They very often are us? Surely you don't mean truck drivers. Truck drivers are, as a whole, a pretty funky looking bunch. :D I know several REAL Americans who have had plastic surgery. I also know an actress, who is naturally stunning, who walks the red carpet now and again who's never had...

The story linked is somewhat misleading and factually inaccurate about critical details, as is the case with many of these stories. The incident happened two weeks ago at an elementary school in Raeford, near Fort Bragg. The girl's parents, rather than dealing directly with the person they...

Someone needs to learn to drop the stupid KKK reference from a bazillion threads ago. It's out of place and out of context in this thread.

Least Agreement specifies 2 blankets for van, 4 for box and straights, and 6 for tractors. I already had 2 in there, as per the agreement (and as per what I've needed in the past), but now have 4 as per the QC message. I used to carry 4, but never neded more than 2 in a van, so I got rid of the...

Exactly. And that's the most probable reason. Panther doesn't give up control of its freight as easily as people may think.

There are lots of other reasons, especially in a cargo van or Sprinter.

Port Huron, where it looks and feels like Canada. It's cold, and it's gray, and it's never gonna end.

Cnet's got a good writeup on it all, the good, the bad and the ugly: Lightsquared-blew-it-and-heres-why/

As much or more money on the average than I made east of the Rockies. Longer loads, fewer swaps, more (bonus) money for the loads. As for Panther "logistics", they're much more than an expedite company. Just because you see "Panther" as the customer or the carrier doesn't necessarily mean they...

Might as well ask... Does Firefox 11 work on other sites without problems?

Didn't really take all that long to bang it out, but I didn't do it all in one sitting. But yes, at least so far this week, freight is really slow.

There was once when I was out there and after about 3 weeks I ended up with basically crap. But otherwise I'd go out there and spend 4-8 weeks west of the Rockies and do 2000 miles a week or more. Often it was in 800 or 1100 mile chunks, tho. Last year Moot and I practically owned the Plains...

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is actually a constellation of 27 Earth-orbiting satellites (24 in operation and three extras in case one fails). Each of these 3,000- to 4,000-pound solar-powered satellites (with battery backup for solar eclipses) circles the globe at about 12,000 miles...

Not every carrier is the same. I made a snotload of money out west with Panther. No one else out there.
