I got home Wednesday night. Went to the Twins game yesterday. Babysat my 2 year old granddaughter last night. Got a load picking up Sunday afternoon, delivering in Bridgeview, Il Monday morning. The consignee is a direct mail outfit so hopefully I can get it unloaded by midnight Sunday and...

Just came across a new favorite quote: "I guess that is why I enjoy expediting. Kinda like standing in front of a giant roulette wheel." davekc

Two of my favorite quotes are from E.O. members. "Shane runs 70 PSI all around." scottm4211 "Embrace the mundane." mrgoodtude

I read a similar quote from a cardiologist in an article about dealing with stress. Rule 1. Don't sweat the small stuff. Rule 2. It's all small stuff. Rule 3. If you can't fight and you can't flee, then flow.

If money wasn't the issue, then don't worry about f.s.c. If you are satisfied with what the load pays, then it doesn't matter how the total pay for the load is packaged.

I delivered in Watford City, ND this morning. Gas was $3.80/gallon. On the other side of the state it was $3.30/gallon. In Dickinson there was a new hotel being built, Value Place. A large lighted sign facing I-94 stated: Opening Soon. $600/week.

Since you have extra E-track mount a length to your 2x8. It works great for pails and other small freight.

It's called vertical E-track because the slots are punched lengthwise and it is made for wall applications. I have a piece running the width of my van, on the floor, just inside the doors.

JP, if it isn't too late you may want to get a piece of vertical e-track for across the rear instead of going sideways with the horizontal E-track. I works much better without twisting the straps and gives a nice range of attaching points.

Put the 8 footers on the walls.

It was Leo that had some custom made. I don't recall the length on the ratchet end. Mine are 45" long and would work better at 20" or less. If you are putting E-track on the floor, go with the galvanized. Also, if you wouldn't mind checking on adjustable load beams with E-track ends in the...

Keelaghan credits Maclean's book as his inspiration for the song.

My experience and personal preference is just the opposite, at least with GM vans. I have had both swing and sliders. The hinges on the side swing doors tend to bind up after a few years due to poor design. One can drill a hole in each hinge and insert a Zerk allowing the hinge to be greased...

I would think that you would want the box to be able to move independently of the cab. A 26' box will be subject to yawing when loading or going down the road. If you plan on using the window opening for a crawl-through, there are boots made for pickup trucks that fit between the cab and a...

They do the hammer thing with license plate lamps also. Or maybe it's the directed-energy weapon thing, like the phasers on Star Trek. What ever it is, it makes a perfectly working light defective, resulting in at least a warning or fix-it ticket.

Happy Canada Day hosers!

I came across another cover of Cold Missouri Waters, this one by The Black Irish Band. I never heard of them, but good stuff.
