    That wild and wacky Ike

    It starts off small, almost imperceptible. First, a couple of shad in the hurricane fence. Then, you find perch in the rosebushes, a flounder on the driveway. You notice a couple of starfish on the garage ceiling, while a crab scurries along the floor. You walk out the door one morning and, as...

    Cracked Windshield

    The research legwork comes from having two windshields replaced on the Sprinter. :)

    Cracked Windshield

    That's in 393.60 and the criteria for inspections, but there is a difference between the criteria for DOT inspection and the actual Out-of-Service criteria: For inspections...

    Escort Loads

    If you're going to post something on here that alludes to or references something that you don't want to come right out and say what is it, then why post about it at all? That's what PM's are for, IMHO.

    Couldn't find a "Media" tab on CDLofIt anywhere. In any case, you have to log in to view the forums or any videos.

    $0.68 per mile???

    And the cat ate the cheese and waited for the mouse with baited breath. Same disclaimer as above. :)

    A sign of success

    Yes, they do. The wheel wells aren't wide enough to allow for a 48" skid, so they must be modified to allow for that wide of a skid. A few have raised the floor to be above the top of the wheel wells, but IMHO that's silly since you lose the advantage of the extra height a Sprinter provides, not...

    how Long Before We SUBMIT TO IT?

    Don't kid yourself. Under Sharia law, men rule all, nearly absolutely, especially within a marriage. It's no surprise that the women in the domestic violence cases withdrew their complaints with the police and "agreed" to have the cases arbitrated by a Sharia Court. The men were sentenced to...

    Consignee Demands Up To 6 Hr FREE

    Actually, Panther is more afraid of making a customer mad over detention. Some get charged as much as $30 an hour, some nothing at all, but Panther's standard detention hit is $25. I've seen too many line haul bills with $25 stated as the detention charge should detention occur.

    Consignee Demands Up To 6 Hr FREE

    I would luv to get Panther to go with the detention that Con-Way had. 1-hour for a cargo van, $50 per half hour. As a result, we rarely had detention time. Once, twice a year. At Panther, where the detention pay amounts to bubble-gum and cigarette money for whoever has to pay, we get detention...

    The one on the shelves is the air intake for the Espar heater, and the one on the bunk is one of the heated air outputs. There's another output coming out the front of the van. Here's a bunch more pics: Shelves, insulation, etc. Some battery work under the bunk Misc...

    Romulus, MI - STop by and See The EO Crew Today!

    If I don't get a load out of here I may run over there. Otherwise I'll just sit here at the Detroiter and munch on the free WiFi, thanks to those nice folks over there at the On-Time Media Network.

    Panther Squuezing fixed fsc??

    The way fuel surcharges are billed to some of these customers would make you think the Three Stooges devised it all. One FSC for a van, another for a truck, everyone understands that, but some (many) customers have different fuel surcharges for weights, dimensions, where picked up, where...

    I never been soo insulted and embrassed from a shipper in all my life!!!!

    The Post Office will usually know where everything is, as well. I had to use them in Pearl, TX once, but I probably should have just called Leo on that one. :)

    You couldn't have really thought about it. No way, no how. It is quite impossible for you to have given this any rational or coherent thought whatsoever, much less "really thought about it." To wit: That's a lie. How DARE you take MY words, chop them up to change the meaning, then pass it off as...

    Its coming

    I knows some Jews, much like your rabbi friend, who are truly antisemitic when it comes to Zionists, I know some who think the Zionists aren't going far enough. Both are valid opinions. You yanking out a few examples of the former who agree with you is not proof that you are right. Sorry. It's...
