    TA /Bp Expedite king cards

    This is simply a new program that is different from the old program, especially with regard to vans at the gas pumps. It'll take a while before some of the TA locations even see a van try and use the program. Managers at TAs have a lot on their plate, and digging down into the details of a...

    WIFI on the truck

    No, you see it right. If you look at the map at full out-zoom, all you see are the cities with the 4G pushpins. If you zoom in a couple of levels you begin to see more 4G detail. Then, if you click the 3G button the map changes to show the 3G coverage. Click and drag the map around. You'll see...

    TA /Bp Expedite king cards

    Last time I talked to someone at TA about that, I was told that all TA locations participate in all of the same promotions.

    WIFI on the truck

    Well, that's the advertising selling point, but more of a consideration is just how good of coverage that fallback 3G has. Verizon has an astounding 3G coverage footprint, no one else even comes close. By the end of the year Verizon is set to be in 30 markets, twice that 6 months later, and 75...

    Suggestions regarding a cargo van !!!

    Yep. Make sure your shoestring budget includes paying cash for the van, and having five grand in the bank before you accept your first load.

    WIFI on the truck

    4G is still in it's very early stages, same as 3G was at one time. 4G should be much more widespread by the end of the year.

    my game plan.what do you vanners think?

    I take my odometer reading from January 1, subtract that from the current odometer reading, then subtract from that the number of loaded paid miles. The result is my deadhead miles. Cost per mile is cost per mile, and it costs to move the van whether you're going to pick up a load or going from...

    Fair Warning to White Glove Dog Owners

    Well, he wouldn't need Terry's consent for what he posted, but regardless it almost looks like the post was a back-handed plant, a calculated warning from FedEx (like the government, scare people into complying). The thread title is a definite attention-grabber.

    Fair Warning to White Glove Dog Owners

    FedEx trust those working for them? Not a chance. FedEx is and always has been about controlling those who work for them, whether they actually work for them or not. That attitude has begun for some time now to creep into Custom Critical. It won't get better before it gets worse.

    Calling all pet owners!

    Well, I don't want to bash the FECCers, as I do that often enough. I think that if you can read the carrier forums that you should be able to post there. The carrier forums should be a place where the primary topics of discussion should be carrier related, but they shouldn't be restricted from...

    Part IV: An Opposing Viewpoint

    The Supreme Court says otherwise. Of course, they also say you can take someone's land and give it to a private developer as long as the development will benefit the public in some way, even if it won't. They have taken a simple concept of separation of church and state, which is...

    Calling all pet owners!

    I think so. I think if you can read there, you should be able to post there. Just look at all of the threads in the General Forum that were started there because someone could not post to one of the carrier forums to ask a question or to offer suggestions or ideas. Read ebsprintin's reply. He...

    The Government and GPS Tracking

    These vans are an awesome tool for border control and for security at and around certain locations and even certain events. But, they are used for more than just illegals. They are used for detecting bombs and explosive materials, which makes them excellent for scanning vehicles before they...

    Wow..a whole 370!!

    No, not always. I know it's easy and popular to say that all laws infringe on someone's rights, but that's not necessarily the case. People don't have the right to harm someone else without consequences. They certainly have the right to harm someone, but they have to pay the price that society...
