RE: Expedited Frieght: New Industries and Location danielsf, Will your work be presented as a paper? Will it be publicly available or archived in a library where others might access it? If it is, I believe a number of Open Forum members would be intrested in reading it.

Diane, an attorney, agrees with RichM; provided that the facts of the case turn out to be in line with what is reported in this thread (media reports are not always accurate). You can be sure that a number of lawyers are already trying to work their way into this multi-year, career-maker...

Here is the latest update from Janice: Glen's surgery was a week ago today. We've experienced a lot of ups and downs, which is to be expected with any major surgery. Glen's been feeling a lot better yesterday and today, so we're believing that we're on the uphill climb. He has been moved...

RE: Expedited Frieght: New Industries and Location I'd be interested to know more about your research project. Is this for a college business class? What specific questions are you trying to answer? If we know more about what you are doing and why, we may be able to provide better help.

A five-fatality, 13-vehicle crash (actually a series of crashes) occured on the Florida Turnpike this morning. News video shows a straight-truck expediter was involved. Current news reports do not mention that driver or drivers among the injured or killed but reports are not complete. This...

Diane and I have driven trucks with both kinds of doors. Rollup is our choice for the reasons stated above and several additional reasons too. Regarding tall freight, with our carrier (FedEx) there ain't that much of it to worry about missing a load here or there. When we had swing doors, I do...

Glen called from the hospital around 12:30 p.m EDT today (Tuesday). He is making his calls with the cell phone Janice brings in. Glen sounded 100% better than when he called on Sunday. He was able to shave himself this morning. His vision has been blury and he is starting to read a little bit...

RE: FedEx Representatives Address Open Forum Topic My web site is a hobby. I plink away at at as my time and interest permit. There is no time frame for taking the blog concept live. Doing so means adding blogware to the site, which is a project not yet started. For now, I'm simply pulling...

Glen called me from the hospital around 1:00 p.m. EDT today (Sunday). Janice was with him. Glen said he has been moved from ICU to PCU and that the rooms are nicer there. I asked him how he was doing and he said, "Not so good." He complained of pain which he described as "burning inside." He...

Janice shared this on Friday: Glen had a rough night and today wasn't much better. For a while, we thought he would have to undergo emergency exploratory surgery. Thankfully, towards the end of the day, he began to rally. He is still in ICU and has had several blood transfusions. He...

RE: FedEx Representatives Address Open Forum Topic One additional thought, Mudflap. Instead of continually running my posts into the ground and attacking my motives, why don't you do something more positive instead. There are dozens of high-traffic venues online where you could post...

RE: FedEx Representatives Address Open Forum Topic Lighten up, Mudflap. People are allowed to change their minds. Regarding my personal, non-commercial web site, kindly note that it has numerous links pointing to EO and no links pointing to any other expediting site. I spoke to Lawrence...

Janice sent this update today (Wednesday): I just got back from the hospital. Glen was doing fairly well. He is still in ICU but may be moved to another floor tomorrow. He is uncomfortable, hungry and thirsty. Just before I left, they were going to give him ice chips - he was happy &...

In recent months, a number of topics have prompted a number of conversations here in the Open Forum. They include how FedEx Surface Expedite Network (announced at the 2006 Louisville truck show) will affect contractors and contractor pay, FedEx Custom Critical's plans to expand its fleet size to...

Looney2's post reminded me of a conversation I had with a former plumber at an RV park in Tampa, FL last weekend. Diane and I were staying there to rest up. This man was a company driver staying there too. He was there with his tractor, wife and pit bull. He was delighted to be out of plumbing...
