    What is wrong with this statement? General Motors estimates that its health care costs add $1,500 to the price of a car - a cost foreign rivals don't have to pay because their health care is funded though government. At home, meanwhile, health care inflation is not just crimping profits; it's...

    What is expedite freight?

    arkjarhead Sorry, I should have explained it. Exclusive use is when a carrier provides a truck (van) to a company to move an item and that truck (van) will only go from Point A to Point B without stopping to pick up or drop off another company's items. For example I had a hard drive (yes a...

    What is expedite freight?

    arkjarhead, nope that is not what is meant by exclusive use but I see what you are driving at. >>expedite is exclusive vehicle use. I question this specific definition because of operating practices with some companies allow multiple pickups and delvieries made on behalf of more than one...

    Canada border crap

    OVM said “I guess you'll never get to see England either even the bobbies(cops) don't wear guns there.†Well they do have guns and have used them. England has been silent on their crime problems, especially the gun crimes that seem to be excluded from the press. The biggest thing that they...

    Carbon Neutral and all that cr*p

    Ok I am inspired by the Hollywood types and just finished watching Cameron Diaz on the TV talking about how important it is to become Carbon Neutral, so I thought about this for a while and realize that with the property I own and my friends’ property with all the trees we have planted on all...

    Bush -Gas - Imagration and Taxes

    Well Actually the law that says we have to pay does exist, not a falicy that many would like many to believe. The admendment was passed to allow the laws to be codified and these laws are in Title 26, Internal Revenue Code. Many of you don't realize that our tax system is unique in many...

    snow driving

    Steve, Maybe I mis-understood you, but many times a lot of these new drivers don't know their limitations which makes them very dangerous. One reason I am all for drivers licenses at 18 instead of 16(14 in some states for hardship cases) is that many kids have no clue about their limitations...

    Crooked drivers

    I can not believe anyone, I mean anyone would turn over a vehicle to someone outside of a friend, relative or employee without a contract. I have a lot of horror stories I can tell about equipment and problems that are directly related to the issue of a lack of a solid contract. Many people...

    2006 SPRINTER

    One issue that I heard about from D-C is the design of the mounting of the headlights themselves where they multiply the vibrations of the road that the bulbs take. I know that the van is not intended for the cr*ppy roads we have here in the states and a few things have been changed to reflect...

    Illegal U-turn or vehicular homicide??

    Well I got to say that the level of professionalism in trucking is sure low. After reading about this, I came to the conclusion that there are absolutely no mitigating circumstances where there would be a need to feel sorry for the truck driver. He killed someone because of his stupid judgment...

    Yep nothing more invigorating than having a 29,000 lb truck end up in the ditch during a snow storm because you can't see a d*mn thing out your windshield. Yep, you are the man, be proud. LOL S A F E T Y F I R S T

    The Three stooges on the dock

    Cheri, Between the two runs I got ten of the 'are you loaded yet' questions. Terry, I am not only dock high but also have the required height for the box. The only thing I could see was the inside height of the box, where the ones carrying the racks were higher. They too were lifted to the dock.

    The Three stooges on the dock

    Last night I had back to back auto loads (I jinxed myself by saying that FedEx doesn’t focus on auto shipments), the first being transmission parts and the second being a special tooling both for a downed production lines. The first one went as it usually does, everyone is working when I...
