Yeah, it does. It's a test you knew was coming, and you dropped dirty, anyway. Carriers and insurance companies are gonna look at it as: One can only wonder what kind of stuff you would be doing when you think a drug test isn't right around the corner. That's not the kind of risk that most...

So, you pull out an Atlas and do the city to city routing, and not until you get to the destination city do you pull over, turn your laptop on, and plug in the address for the final destination into the GPS?

There ya go.

Yeah, that's what I wanna do. I wanna register for a gmail account in order to read that link. :rolleyes:

That's brilliant. I like it. Now, where to get some 1/4 inch galvanized hardware cloth...

I'm with you on the Meguiar's as it's some really good stuff. And the bug screen (even though I don't have one yet). But recommending a particular oil in blanket fashion can be dangerous. The benefits of long-change interval synthetic oil should be obvious, but you have to take into account...

I dunno, I paid cash for my first van, then put about 75% down on this one, which will be paid off in a few months. I abhor a car/van/truck payment. If you can get a loan at zero percent interest, great, but not many people can. I prefer to have it paid for asap, that way, instead of making...

"It seems like any other aspect of trucking." That's easily the biggest, and most common, mistake people coming into expediting make. The reality is, expediting is the least like any other aspect of trucking, particularly in a van. It's more like hunting from a duck blind than it is trucking...

Sure, there has been an increase in demand worldwide, but not to the level that we are seeing which would correlate to the increase in prices. Nor have we had a flat or lagging supply. Over the past two years where the graph has spiked, worldwide supply has pretty much kept up with worldwide...

Does anybody really think this kind of spike in pricing is a result of an equal spike in demand?

Well, yeah. Phone calls, local directions, GPS, maps, laptop, Google, experience, luck, you have to use it all. I get the new address from someone behind that front door, call it in to dispatch and they pay me for a stop-off, then I go to the new address and make the pickup or delivery. :D

"The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public...

You do realize that the quote that "nothing new under the sun" was taken from was all about the monotony, meaningless and futility of life, right? (Eccl 1:3-18 NIV) What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun? {4} Generations come and generations go, but the earth...

I gotta figure a GPS that talks to you and that you can look at at a glance is safer then driving around while looking at an Atlas draped over the steering wheel. The benefits of a GPS so far outweigh the negatives it's not even funny. The first day I had mine an accident happened a few...

The definition of reckless driving is pretty much uniform across all states: "Any person who drives any vehicle in such a manner as to indicate a wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property is guilty of reckless driving." And in most states is a Class-1 Misdemeanor, same as a DUI...

That's also the definition of a miracle.
