I realize that. My suggestion was for the OP to ask permission to load his truck himself with a pallet jack if the freight was pallet jack friendly. Personally if I owned a straight truck, when ever possible, I would load and unload with my very own pallet jack. Also before automatic dock...

2 cargo vans. I'm on my second one. Um, sorry I just noticed the question states trucks. No mention of cargo vans. WELL, EXCUUUUSE ME! Oh yeah, Ban The Van!

Do you carry a palletjack? Maybe asking to speak to a manger about loading your truck yourself you could have kept the load. Did they give you a reason for not loading a truck with a liftgate?

Just because you can do it doesn't mean the rest of the expedite van industry can match your pace. You are in the upper echelon of all expedite van drivers so your generalizations are misleading to shippers. Most shippers won't be able to find a van driver of your caliber on short notice to...

Last week I spent the night in a Walmart parking lot. Before going to bed I did a some shopping. I bought some oil and an oil filter, a new road atlas and a cantaloupe. I checked my receipt before leaving the store and everything appeared to be fine except there was no charge listed for the...

Probably for the same reason we haven't heard from our west coast friend here on E.O. since Obama was elected.

There is a Thermo King dealer in New Brighton off I-35W just north of I-694.

It started out as a means to bring attention and oversight to the banking and financial industry. It has mushroomed into a soapbox for just about any malcontent who has a grievance to air. While one may not be able to point to any one specific demand, I believe the general sentiment is one of...

I know nothing about Espar heaters but my best guess, based on the strange fan noise and being 7 years old, is that it is probably the fan bearings. Call Ray at Espar.

I'm curious as to how that plow trailer looks from behind as far as lights and markings. In the photo the snow appears to have a high moisture content and therefore isn't blowing around. It is also daylight. Could this trailer be seen at night from behind when pushing light powdery snow? If...

My first van I built the bed directly behind the seats and put up a bulkhead. That lasted about 2 weeks. I removed the bulkhead and bed and started over. I made an insulated split bulkhead with a crawl through directly behind the seats and attached the bed to the bulkhead. I prefer having the...

Thank you Mr. Brandon Loran Maxwell, another nobody with a blog and an opinion that gets linked because somebody can't express their own opinion. I wasn't aware that the Tea Party was in need of vindication but apparently Mr. Maxwell was. The way he portrayed the OWS crowd he could compare...

Great news! Nothing like putting a bunch of third world kids out of work so they can go back to eating bugs and sniffing glue in their spare time. Next thing you know Nestle will be encouraging third word mothers to breast feed. N-E-S-T-L-E-S, Nestle makes the vary best......... C...

One other difference is that the Volvo with the Cummins is in the shop and you are on the road with the Volvo with the Volvo. Sorry, I couldn't resist pointing out that glaring difference.

Wisconsin signs state all trucks over 4 tons must weigh. I have never stopped unless placarded. Until about 5 years ago Iowa had an 8,000 lbs. threshold, it is now 10,000 lbs. and again, I never stopped unless placarded. Michigan, who knows for sure. I never stop. Every morning I practice...

What were you doing in the HOV lane? Are you sure you didn't get "popped" for being in the HOV lane?

For what you are pulling and the low miles why not go with a single axle class 7?

If you are Catholic, a priest will you give you last rites for free. Hey, you asked for my thoughts.

That model is also quite popular in the expedite industry, especially with vans. Vans are a dime a dozen and carriers have no problem finding fresh meat to replace the ones that fall by the wayside. In my opinion there is no maybe about getting two skids in a van. If you can't give your...
