Recent financial reports from both XM and Sirrius are available. Short story: Both are spending more money than they are taking in, in an effort to recruit programming pull and expand their subsrciber base.

Bill Moore and his crew at TSI Western Star have made a lot of friends and even some new truck customers by being generator-service heros, and fixing problems that others seemed unable to fix. If you are having a string of frustrating generator problems and are about to give your generator the...

Congratulations to both of you on making a successful transition into expediting. A number of big rig drivers jump in and find the world of expediting to be too different from what they knew before. So too with folks who have never been on the road before. Additionally, the two of you together...

Insurance company investigators that interviewed me about the accident provided additional information. 1. The car driver continues to state that he is uninjured and allright. 2. The car was a company car. The driver was on his way home to Ohio when the accident occured. The truck was not...

phatTweaker, May I suggest an additional question? After coming to the forum to ask what the best solo-friendly company is, go to the companies and ask each one, what thebest phatTweaker-friendly company is? Don't try to sell yourself to them. There's a driver shortage out there. You already...

The leak may be behind the dash, or on the other side of the firewall (the wall between the dash and the engine compartment). The firewall has a number of pass-throughs (holes) through which wires, cables, hoses, and tubes go through. An old mechanic's trick is to use a length of garden hose to...

One thing you have going for you is your location. New Jersey is an excellent area for a solo driver. I know FedEx runs some regional straight-truck solo drivers in that area. It might be worth checking out.

Chet, After putting some miles under your belt as an expediter, it sounds like you have found your calling as a solo driver. I think that's great. It's always a pleasure to hear from someone who is happy in his or her work. Now that you know solo driving is for you, I suggest you look anew at...

Just wanted to add additional information we received from the insurance companies now investigating this accident. The car was owned by a rental company. It was a 2005 Ford Taurus. There is no question in my mind that that car saved the driver's life. The driver was wearing his seat belt. The...

Read the eight-page article "Introduction to Expediting" published here on the EO site. It is in .pdf format for easy printing if you wish to print it. Link: http://www.expeditersonline.com/downloads/introduction.pdf

We were in Slidel a few weeks ago for a delivery. Debris still strewn everywhere. Some stores like Cracker Barell open limited hours. A number of traffic lights still dark with stop signs in their place. Folks living in and around there have a long way to go to get back to what most Americans...
