    DOT violation

    I took Guido's use of the word "e-track" as being generic for any load securing system. Kinda like kleenex with a small "k" or jake brake.

    The ultimate noob question

    Could be much more. That was just my guess and an explanation of how I arrived at that number. Until a year or so ago, I was able to track pro numbers on Panther's website without limit. I am now limited to tracking only 5 pros per day. Back then, Panther was booking an average of 600 to 650...

    The ultimate noob question

    What larger carriers fall under the Sylectus count? How many Sylectus members lease vans/Sprinters that are also leased to other carriers?

    The ultimate noob question

    Excellent question! I'll venture a guess. Nothing factual, just based on my own experiences and observation in hopes that others will add their thoughts and observations. My last couple of years with Con-Way Now, the number of vans was about 200 and holding. The total fleet size when sold...

    Heart Attacks and Water

    Me too and the diet Coke, but I also include water. In the summer I mix powered Gatorade into bottled water. As your next door neighbor from the land of 10,000 lakes, I know water.

    Heart Attacks and Water

    I hate to be a buzz kill. The problem with coffee, ice tea and diet coke is they all contain caffeine and caffeine is a diuretic. You should include water in your hydration regimen.

    Thinking about Cargo Van.. Q's

    I agree. This would also allow you to see other vans and how the owners set them up.

    Omega-3 Supplements Linked To Prostate Cancer

    I'm 3 for 3, plus I have this funny shaped raised mole on my left arm. It kinda looks like a tire with wings. Anyone want to buy my van before I check out?

    Buying GASOLINE on T-Chek Card

    Congratulations Redytrk on your promotion to Van Expediter! It is great to see one of the pioneers of expediting work their way up from a truck to a van. What took you so long to make the change? I guess wearing that grocery bag over your head for so many years reduced the flow of oxygen to...

    Garmin getting retarded

    Won't that restore the unit to default settings? Could you lose "favorite locations" and other stuff?

    Garmin getting retarded

    To reboot a Garmin, with the unit on, slide the switch to the off position and hold there for 10 seconds. When the screen goes black, release the slide switch. This should start the reboot process where the maps load and you get to agree to Garmin's terms of use. I reboot mine every few days.

    Innocent Shoplifter - Eye opening article by Jim Klepper attorney

    I was expecting the article to feature our friend Zane, not driver Bob. Sticking any unpaid item in your pants, be it a candy bar or machete is inviting trouble. Since truck stops don't supply carts or baskets, make an extra trip to the checkout. Better yet, don't buy anything at a truck stop...

    You Know Me...

    7/7/13 Dear old pal Cheri, I finally made it to Chi and delivered 11½ hours early. No rookie bush league expediter could have did what I done. And I wasn't even in a hurry. You know me Cheri, when a delivery time is set, I get the freight there before the delivery time. The consignee said...
