Especially before boarding a plane.

I don't see that happening. Why pay expedite rates when LTL will do, unless you are willing to haul both loads for LTL rates. Panther and ABF Freight are two separate companies and I don't expect much intermingling of freight. I do see us getting some of their guaranteed TimeKeeper™ shipments...

I don't know about ABF reading this stuff, but the NSA certainly does.

You're welcome! Just pointing out that LTL carriers owning Expedite companies isn't a recent phenomenon.

You're welcome! I assume your interest stems from owning a Sprinter and a slopbucket gasser. Another way to look at these numbers is the gasser at 16 mpg would cost .20/mi. while the Sprinter at 22 mpg would cost .16/mi.

I was hoping someone would crunch the numbers I provided in post #9, ummmm, Scott. Oh, I forgot, he's lazy. I went back to 2008 up to yesterday and here are the results per year for the average price of gasoline vs. diesel fuel. GASOLINE--DIESEL 2008...

Here is a 10 year history for gas prices and diesel prices: US Retail Gas Price US Retail Diesel Price Chart

Hey what do I know? The Wizard of Oz and Sister Act are movies and movies aren't real. The "head" is from a television show and television isn't real and we are discussing this on the Internet and I'm pretty sure the Internet isn't real.

When you charge your house battery do you use the 12 volt power source on the Honda or run a 110v battery charger?

Why doesn't your "bigger picture and longer time frame" include the fact that the largest expedite carrier at the time was a subsidiary of a large LTL carrier? An expedite company that went by the name of Roberts Express was once a subsidiary of Roadway Services. Also during that time frame...

You did it!

Speaking of hard to read, actually this is just a minor annoyance as far as I'm concerned; Cheri could you please close your quotes with this

I don't see the George Bush likeness in the far head. The middle head sure looks like Jack Haley as the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz.

Like far freaking out mon! Thanks E-type Lady.

And a poke in the eye is better when compared to a poke in both eyes. I'm guessing now also, but my guess would be O/Os are less transient than company drivers. It costs an O/O money to pick up and move to another carrier. Why thank you, but it was intended to be a rhetorical question. I...

Not bad compared to what? I believe Landstar's TL divisions are 100% O/O and fleet owners. 30% turnover looks good next to an industry wide average of 90%. But, no distinction was made between O/O carriers and carriers with mostly company drivers like Swift. How does 30% turnover compare to...

Movies are reel.

Movies aren't real.

Two more words...COW MAGNETS.

Has anyone here ever seen an overweight UPS package car driver? I mean even slightly overweight.
