RE: Hows the the new FedEx CC FSC program working There is definitely a tendency here for many of the "regulars" to reply to the poster, rather than to what was posted. The text of a post is just that, and there is no reason to feel the need to color the intent of the text, or worse, to suppose...

The First Amendment doesn't apply here. It guarantees that you can say what you want, when you want, without any reprisals from the government. The First Amendement gives you the right to make your very first post to EO a negative one, but it certainly doesn't prevent any reprisals from the EO...

Espar of Michigan 9675 Harrison Road Suite 102 Romulus, MI. 48174 Toll Free - 800.837.3900 Phone - 734.947.0123 Fax - 734.947.0125

GR8DNLVR makes some astute observations. A table full of truckstop "regulars" is nothing more than a clique, a small exclusive group that does not welcome newcomers easily. EO often comes dangerously close to the same thing, and it's telling (and troubling) that this very comparison is made in...

You posted a private e-mail to a public forum? Amazing.

If you use an air mattress, plan on replacing it about every 6 weeks or so. Especially is you inflate and deflate it on a daily basis. Every time you inflate it, it stretches a little bit more, requiring more air to be pumped in. And eventually there will be tiny holes that will develop causing...

A missionary who would lie? Heavens, no. :P It's not like there will be any remarkable standout pricing difference in the other items, but, for example, when you buy an fuel pump, a portion of what you pay is to recoup the excise tax that the manufacturer had to already pay to the government...

I have a feeling that these are the prototypes that have the sidewalls removed so you can see what they're all about. Here's the Michelin press release on the new Tweel. http://www.michelinman.com/difference/releases/pressrelease01102005a.html

Yeah, well, just try to get on a plane carrying a tire thumper and a can of spray starter fuid. Do you have any idea what MacGyver could do with a tire thumper and a can of starter fluid? Well, and a paper clip? :D

Danny, mine was an E-350. The 11 MPG included all miles divided by all gallons used, in other words, that included idling time. I got about 17 or so highway, 15 or so city, give or take. The addition of an Espar heater made a dramatic difference, of course. I haven't found the Sprinter to be...

People drive me crazy when they talk about how good we have it here compared to the high price of fuel in Europe. "Don't complain about gas prices! In the UK they are paying $8 for gas!" The fact is, people in the US and in Europe pay the same amount for fuel, or more accurately, the same amout...

I got 11-12 MPG with the Ford van. With the Sprinter, it varies between 18 and 23, depending on how I'm loaded and how fast I drive, but overall it's right as 21 MPG. At $2.50 a gallon, it cost me 20.8 cents a mile to move the Ford. It's 11.9 with the Sprinter. That's an 8.9 cent a mile...

Nope, not confusing them at all. CCX had half of that building leased, and the city of Ann Arbor gave the NOW division (along with CCX) several incentives to lease the rest of that bulding on a long term basis. (I got those details a while back from Ed Conaway before he was promoted to the big...

Apparently, Bob Dylan hijacked Mike and Cyn's login and password.

Of course, it depends on how much you idle for heat. If it will take 15 months of cold weather use for you, then you idle very little. :) For those who idle all winter for heat, the typical (in many cases conservative) idle time is 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Some as much as 12 hours a day...

An Espar heater sure looks like a lot of money, but when you cost it out it pays for itself in 7 or 8 weeks (for most vans, anyway). Add in the cost savings of no engine wear from idling, and it's cheap at twice the price. No having to mess with propane bottles or whatever, the Espar will keep...

No, actually, I fully understand FSC, how it's calcualted in the various ways that it is, and I understand, fully, the point of view of trying to spread out the FSC in a more equitable manner. I understand the reasonings behind it, and the ramifications of doing it in the manner in which it is...

Well, I'll come right out and say it, then. Yes, you can do $800 a week. How's that? :D Some weeks it might be $600, some it might be $1200, but $800 is a good enough ballpark figure to deal with. Then, adjust it based on the variables you'll be dealing with. For example, instead of making...

Yeah, in a cargo van, you're talking about a 4' 2x4, and as long as the skid is close to 48", the wood will be sturdy enough to handle most loads. But an 8-foot 2x4, well, there's a lot of even light loads that would snap through that pretty easily. If the skid wasn't secured at floor level...
