    Having a beer

    Here's another hypothetical example: It's a hot muggy Friday afternoon. You and Diane are at home. Your truck is in the shop for work and won't be ready until sometime late Monday. You and Diane have just finished your second cold Summit Pale Ale. You hear the goober next door screaming. You...

    Having a beer

    If one were to distill the spirit of the law to it's essence, methanol/ethanol and partook of this mixture while on duty, and lost one's sight because of the high methanol content, would this be considered blind justice?

    Help with finding the wight truck

    The Spicer 7 speed, at least the old non-synchro ones were bullet proof and pretty much moron proof.

    Pros and cons to a permanent sleeper

    Mschaefer, please define "permanent sleeper". I think there is some confusion. Turtle has a permanent bed with the whole Sprinter being his sleeper. Others have a walled off sleeper area. Personally I prefer the permanent bed and the wide open space of my tuna can when empty.

    What if there were no....

    As an O/O I would rather compete against fleet owned trucks vs. company owned trucks. There's always talk of fleet owners getting preferential treatment, and I'm sure it happens, but not to the extent company owned equipment would see. My entry into expediting is somewhat an anomaly. I...

    So much for security

    Leo, here's a low tech solution to a high tech problem. This video features the standard Trunk Monkey model. For just a few dollars more you can upgrade to the .45 caliber model. ‪Suburban Auto Group Trunk Monkey #4 - Thrown off a Bridge‬‏ - YouTube

    Bad experience

    I made the mistake of calling Panther to inform them that my alternator died. It happened about 22:00. I was about 60 miles and one international border from the consignee, with a 09:00 delivery time. Long story short, I delivered 2 hours late from the back of a roll off tow truck. Panther...

    Bad experience

    Never get Panther involved in a breakdown situation. Would you call your dentist with an alternator problem?

    What does the S&P downgrade Mean to us?

    S&P downgrade; our standards will be substandard and we will be poorer. That should make one feel moody.

    Was 9 Pallets - Now hauling 15

    The reason I asked about the floor length is the odd number of pallets you mention in this post. With approximately 2 extra feet to play with, you should be able to park the pallet jack in a pallet and still be able to close the door(s).

    Was 9 Pallets - Now hauling 15

    Lugnut, do you have any pictures, a brand name or a link to this system? Seems to me it would be a whole lot simpler to just install vertical E-track in strategic points along the walls.

    Was 9 Pallets - Now hauling 15

    Load up that Krautmobile and practice the Spinout On Curves Reaction Drill. I remember practicing the Spinout On Curves Reaction Drill with my late friend Jack. We rented a Sprinter and in stalled a decking system using clips that hooked into the horizontal E-track on walls, which in turn...

    60% + fsj + unknown fleet owner

    Now I feel like noob. I have never, ever taken an advance because I thought it was my money being advanced to me and not some form of magic money. Silly me. I think Cheri hit on this but I can't read Munchkinese.

    Was 9 Pallets - Now hauling 15

    The question was clear and concise until you added two extra paragraphs after the question. Kinda reminds me of the "Best Expediting Company" thread from a few weeks ago. If you really wanted a Yes/No answer you should have posted one of those E.O. poll thingies. To answer your question, NO...
