    Is Obama scared? Racist?

    Not anymore! . . . Recently the city came up with another new logo, reintroducing the raccoon, along with the oak leaf thing and some water stuff. I like it! .

    No more Canadian pennies..

    A long time ago when I was a truck driver, periodically I would find myself at a K-mart distribution center. While there, I would often hit the employee breakroom and marvel at the vast array of vending machines and what one could purchase. Everything from coffee to ice cream. On one...

    Expediter Wannabees and Newbies: Note These Quotes

    Con-Way Now had no fuel surcharge program in place in 1997. Sometime shortly after the turn of the century it was implemented along with the second rate increase. Con-Way's 3 LTL carriers had fuel surcharges as far back as the late 80's or early 90's as did most LTL carriers. In 1997 I was...

    Chipped windshield repair

    If I stay out of Montana in the winter my windshields tend to last a bit longer. They use a very coarse crushed rock, probably mine tailings.

    Looking to start an expediting company and need help!

    Let me get my calculator. Umm, 23 and 24 minus 19 and 20, uh, ah 4 years! You and your brother have owned rental units for 4 years, you now own 7 units and you have $100,000 in cash saved up. Sounds good! I have never owned any rental units, but I have owned two houses, but not...

    Chipped windshield repair

    I don't think I've ever gone 4 years without replacing a windshield. After 4 years, if it wasn't cracked and chipped, it would be too pitted to see through.

    Rent your car while on the road

    Jeez, I'm not that hard up yet for an extra buck or two. Why stop at renting the car, what about the house, the wife, the kids, grand kids, dog, lawn mower and snow blower. Hey how about an "all in" all inclusive, package deal.

    no love from the tractor trailer

    I drive a van and get the cold shoulder treatment from T/T drivers, straight truck drivers ( with the exception of Cher and HighwayStar) and many van drivers. Maybe its just me! I've got to ask you why you wish to seek acknowledgment from T/T drivers?

    My mistake! I didn't realize along with the rate change in post 9, the C Unit definition changed from 12' to 14'. Please quit with that "all in" crap! Sorry to unload on you. I believe this is the first time I've seen you use this term, but I'm sick of that term. It is way over used here...

    Scott you have keen eyes! Although Con-Way did offer an A rate, cargo wagon, I don't believe they ever had any leased on. I never saw one. The rate sheet is hard to read and since Scott didn't translate the rates for those of us with less than perfect eyesight, I will. B Unit Cargo Van...
