One hour and 55 minutes after receiving this Q.C. message: http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/51540-urgent-q-c-message.html I got this message from a different person: HELLO. JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU WANTED TO GO ON HOME TYME™ FOR UP COMING HOLIDAY OR IF YOU WANT TO...

Drove all night and made a 07:00 delivery. Crawled into bed about 07:45. Got a beep at 09:35. Fleet Message: WITH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND FAST APPROACHING WE WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO WISH EVERYONE IN THE FLEET A HAPPY HOLIDAY. THIS YEAR IS UNIQUE IN THAT THE HOLIDAY FALLS ON A SUNDAY...

So you're saying a Teamster BA has the power to fire drivers for refusing an overweight load. That doesn't even make sense. You gotta do better than that.

Then how did you end up leasing to XXXXXXXX? :D

I don't believe you have a point, at least not a valid one! In post #6 you stated: "...in face not having a union empowers the driver even more because the union sometimes gets in the way of safety." Again I ask how is this so? Please give some examples. Who is worried about overweight...

I agree with the union never standing in the way of safety. But I must disagree with the union never standing in the way of productivity. I was with a non-union LTL carrier and we were more productive because we weren't bound by some of the silly union work rules. Agreed! That's why I've...

How so? Any examples? Is it the Teamster Happy Hour Drink Discount Card honored at many layover hotels?

Why? If all other things were equal, the GM would have the advantage because of the long wheelbase. Ride and loadability are superior to the long box, shorter wheelbase Ford. Danny, what ever you choose, do the 1 ton version.

Wow, last night the All Seventies All Porn network was showing "Dutch Treat", starring American actor Johnny Holmes. Johnny plays Peter van Meter, a lovable, simple minded, bumbling traveling salesman who is constantly tripping over himself because he is blessed with 39.37 inches. Peter's...

Below is a great line from the article Rlent linked in post #26: US officials skeptical of Iran’s capabilities blame a malfunction, but so far can't explain how Iran acquired the drone intact. One American analyst ridiculed Iran’s capability, telling Defense News that the loss was “like...

Why should he be making C truck rate at minimum if it is not a C truck?

I wouldn't get too bent out of shape over this. It is exactly the reaction the architects want, outrage. Just like Andres Serrano and his "**** Christ". If people wouldn't act so predictably, nobody would have ever heard of Serrano outside of the small "**** Art" community. If you read the...

Isn't 102" the maximum legal width in Illinois?

Flotating? Is this tasty with butter and salt?

I'm pretty sure that's Panther's basic business plan; haul freight and make money. It's really not such a bizarre concept when you consider Panther is a freight transportation company. I know my basic business plan is haul freight and make money. If you are not willing or can't afford to...

While you may not be able to treat injuries with popcorn, it can be used for more than just a tasty, nutritious snack. Popcorn is absorbent. If terrorist were to blow up the Montcalm sewage treatment plant, pantyhose stuffed with popcorn would make an excellent spill containment device. If...

Interesting and informative article but I must take exception to the use of "Wind Chill Factors" in the article's title. The wind chill factor or wind chill index is mathematical formula used to express the feeling and effect that wind combined with cold air has on exposed human skin. It does...
