Randy, where do I send my check?

Dear Made In Detroit, My intention wasn't to feed your ego with that post. But I will feed your ego with this apology. I assumed that most consumer electronics are made overseas. I threw in the Flint, Michigan just because. Buying American made products is not an easy task. Especially...

"Being an American means buying American!!!" Flint, Michigan: Home of the largest radar detector manufacturer in the world. Nice camera Mr. Motto.

Check out the avatar, the little picture in the upper left corner of post 6.

Don't trucks come with good old analog gauges anymore?

Is TerryanandRene's Express presently leasing on vans? At Con-Way the load offers always showed delivery time and then CONFIRMED Y OR N. If N (no) it was best to call. Especially on a Friday for a Saturday delivery. Same for pick up time. After one hour past the scheduled time detention...

I generally won't move my van for less than $100.00. I turned down a mini picking up 12 miles from my home and delivering Monday morning 10 miles from the pickup. It paid $74.00. I was OOS but they offered anyway. I agreed to haul it for $100.00. I was told they could find someone else...

A waist is a terrible thing to mind. Happy Thanksgiving one and all. Arf!

Truckergirl, a belated welcome to E.O. Yea there are some angry people out here. If you read through these forums you should be able discern who is giving valuable information and who has an axe to grind. Most of the members are willing to help others and offer to share their knowledge of...

Happy Birthday to the moderator of this forum that uses 1122 as part of their screen name. 11-22-??

I hope you guys don't get called in for a random drug screen tomorrow.

Broom, do you use a fuel additive with a lubricating agent every time you fuel. I haven't even seen a diesel engine in 10 years but I hear that this reformulated fuel is hard on injectors and pumps.

If you are the only truck available and the company committed to the customer, then anything is negotiable. You should be able to reach a mutual agreement on rates and any extras. If you are way out of line the dispatcher will cut a deal with an outside carrier. You have to find the balance...

The case of Nibblets also burned.

You say freight is down. Exactly my point. Would this not drastically effect the stock price of a company with a narrow market focus. Who would invest in a company like this? It's not like expedite freight is a cure for cancer. Like any industry the transportation market is volatile. A...

At the end of the day when I check my "box score" the only numbers of significance to me are ON TIME% and Safety%. For me both are 100% TOOT,TOOT! I provide safe dependable service. Isn't that what it is all about? As for the Big Stick they call refusal%: 11:00 p.m. Thursday night while at...

I would think that such a narrowly focused transportation company's stock would be a tough sell. Competing on Wall Street with such diverse transportation concerns as FedEx, Con-Way, U.P.S. etc. must be difficult to say the least. A down turn in the expedite market would certainly have a...

I do a combination of water in the sink and refrigerator defrosting. If I'm home Monday then I'll buy a fresh bird. We certainly don't need a visit from Sal.

Hey Bernie if you are still around forget the celery and get some postage stamps. I'm sure you could find a skinny chick overseas. If China doesn't pan out try Rowanda. Lots of skinny chicks there. Plus those skinny ones require less postage. Good luck Dude!
