A Class C without an endorsement of some kind (HAZMAT or Passenger) does not exist. Without the endorsement, it's just a regular ol' operator's license. Requiring a CDL with an endorsement does several things. One, it forces the driver to make an effort beyond that of his regular license. It...

After I found how brutal Wal Mart is with their suppliers, many of which now supply Wal Mart via China, I don't shop there much anymore. The Wal-Mart You Don't Know | Fast Company

Just keep in mind that handheld or headset, the distractions have been shown to be the same. A headset keeps both hands on the wheel, but it doesn't lessen reaction times.

A jib is a sail on a sailboat. It's the one out in front there. :D

Oh, I know! Maybe someone could post another chapter from "Expediting Without Ethics: How to Steal Your Carrier's Customer List". That way we can get away from all these childish personal attacks and get back to what really matters. There was a mama mole, a papa mole, and a baby mole. They...

Yeah, I cover mine all the time, too. People think I'm sleeping all the time, but I'm just nekkid. All the time.

Net profit is gonna vary wildly between trucks and drivers, but what I do, at least, is it works about to be about a third is expenses (fuel and QC and insurance and stuff), a third goes to me, and a third goes to the truck (for maintenance and stuff). There's usually plenty left over in the...

No, I'm not still down there. I'm parked right next to you at the moment. :)

Usually it's a gross revenue figure, before any expenses are taken out.

LOL yeah. Good riddance. That guy was a nut. The team got one out of here, so I'm #1 on the Hit Parade. Then again I've been that way for 2 days now, and other trucks just keep on comin' in below me. They're gonna be here a while, I think. After being here since Friday morning, I figure I'll...

The return from NASA has been marginal? We dump billion of dollars into NASA and Iraq? In the 50 year history of NASA, from 1958 to 2007, NASA's total budget amounts to $419.420 billion dollars, an average of $8.559 billion per year. NASA's FY 2008 budget of $17.3 billion represents about 0.6%...

Yeah, to both. :) You need new shocks, man. It's beautiful here in sunny Laredo. It's only about 94 at the moment, humidity is way down at 39%. It's supposed to get to 103 again today. Every day it's been between 101 and 106. And people live here. On purpose. I wonder if they let you swim...

Oh, but it is. That right there is the biggest mistake people from other trucking sectors make when coming into expediting. There are people with 10, 20 years of genaraly trucking experience that come to expediting and suddenly find themselves utterly clueless. The last line is key - and wait...

Like shocks.

Suddenly, the term "jaminjim" has a whole new meaning.

Greg, as a fleet owner (of which I am not, BTW), you need something more reliable than a truck stop Internet connection, not to mention something that's a lot more flexible. You may very well need to access the net while waiting at a shipper or consignee, or in places where you won't find a TA...

I know for sure you can get silk tank tops at Bloomingdales.

The difference it will make is not in the pump price, but it gets our short hairs out of the grips of the Middle East. Stuff that may shock some people: The US is the world's third highest producer of crude oil. In 2006 Russia and Saudi Arabia, the world’s top two oil-producing nations...
