Think LBJ. Ooops! I should have read the whole thread before replying. I see Thawk nailed it.

I think that, so count me as a resident of Gooberville in the 2020 Census. When I see hazard lights lit, I think disabled vehicle, not disabled driver. When I see "specials" lit, I think, hey I've got a chance at a free game or two. I believe the minimum federal speed on interstate...

Barrack Obama: “You know, when Trayvon Martin was first shot, I said that this could have been my son." Moot: "You know, when I first read this quote from the President, I said, maybe Trayvon Martin is Obama's son. I want to see his birth certificate!" Barrack Obama: “Another way of saying...

I wish I had those tires. I could use a free replacement set before winter arrives.

A classic example of the blind leading the blind.

You mentioned in a previous post: "and dual wheels has not been an issue, as yet." If you're running a DRW unit, I would think that to be a red flag for LEOs. It kinda shouts...hey I'm over 10,000.

No gray area. The manufacturer's GVWR placard on the door frame rules. Different states have different weights on their plates for tax purposes. Until a few years ago my Minnesota tags stated something like 12,000 pounds. That was just a convenient tax category. I was still legally limited...

A 1500 series will severely limit his choice of carriers. Most carriers usually require a minimum of a 2000 pound legal load capacity. Can't get that in a 1500. I'm on record with my carrier for 2340 pounds with some built in wiggle room. About 90% of my loads are under 2000 though.

Exactly! I haven't seen a whole lot of media attention focusing on the 72 shootings leaving 12 dead in Chicago over the 4th. Where are Jesse, Al and Barrack?

You should have the owner get the GVWR de-rated from 12,500 pounds to 10,000 pounds. This can be done by an upfitter or the manufacturer of the body. Even when empty, you are required to log in your van since its GVWR is over 10,000.

This is true but, why is your acceptance rate so low? Why are you refusing so many loads? Are you on the structured fuel surcharge program? If you been out 4 months without going home, it would seem to me that you should be cashing in on that Precious Metals Competition. Good luck in...

Nobody cares if Blacks slaughter each other. There is no racial component (Honkey) involved, so no Hate Crime, therefore no national media exposure. No national media coverage means no Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc. to stir up some real home cooked hatred.

You can certainly bring your E-track closer together, flush mount it and load pallets on top of it. You may find that the pallets will get hung up and or snag in the E-track punch-outs occasionally. Also unpalletized freight won't sit flat. Try it and see how it works for you. You can always...

I'm with Turtle, mount the E-track so it sits slightly below the plywood flooring. Leave enough space between the two rows of E-track to accommodate those small, 4-legged steel parts bins that are common to John Deere and others. What are you currently using for flooring?

I saw Gaffigan live a few years ago. Very funny man and a great show.

My mama is long dead. Try again.

Why not help the original poster and the rest of us by telling us "where it's at", ya know?

JD, are you new to expediting? Do you turn down shorter loads because you are a team? Will you list some of the places you have sat for more than 24 hours? I'm surprised as a team you aren't getting more loads. I'm with Panther in a regular van, driving solo and often see teams load out ahead...

Nothing like using a picture of the stereotypical white, Irish gansta, complete with machine gun and ski mask. Must be a member of the notorious Chicago Gaylords.

The numbers are misleading. The 4th of July weekend was a long, 4 day weekend. I'm sure on a normal 2 day weekend there would have only been about 36 shootings resulting in approximately 6 deaths.
