Interesting site. Not sure about the accuracy of the posted information though. Somewhere along the line I lost a kid. Not the one that got married, but the one that still live with us. Also the house I own is valued way more than the house my wife owns. She never even told me she had her...

Oooh, oooh, Moot wins the prize! GMC2011, I have never worked with Dunham, but have shot the breeze with some drivers over the years. You should really talk to as many drivers as you can before signing on. One's with at least a year with the company should have the most valuable information...

I went with the standard passport book. I don't recall having the option to get a passport card at the time. The card would be more convenient to carry and easier to use. Don't forget the F.A.S.T. card! Despite the "F" standing for free, this little card is definitely not free!

Here's a rare self portrait of Salvador, his refrigerator and his dolly. . .

Bummer! Little over a week old and you laid it on it's side. Good thing you were a chef. Looks like it is "over easy." Any damage should buff right out. . .

I think you got a pretty good grip on the situation. If you can live on nothing then go for it. This sounds to me like a regular delivery route. You are a wee bit short on details for most here to offer any valuable insight. You really should talk to some other contractors who have been with...

Jim, give this virtual chocolate sampler for a birthday breakfast. Everything from bite size mints to the giant chunk-o-chock-a-lot. . .

Before you buy a book on the secrets of expediting or go back into service, buy a map of the United States.

I'm not knocking junkyard shopping. In fact I've got a line on a slightly used driver's side seat for my van. It just seemed to me that used ignition wires was going a bit far. My first 100,000 mile tune-up I replaced the ignition wires with a set from NAPA. The cost was about $100 and the...

Maybe the objecting residents didn't want to dress up and play vigilante with some wannabees.

Holland has been a strong and successful regional carrier for years despite it's being acquired by TNT and then YRC. The article alludes to a strong fourth quarter as the impetus for hiring 1000 drivers this year. No mention of attrition. YRC should spin off or sell Holland instead of...

Yeah it sure does, but it doesn't have to. The first question on your list should be: Is expediting a wise career choice or should I just get a real job. My personal question to you is: Used ignition wires? Are you really that cheap and was that you dumpster diving behind the Cracker Barrel...

When you get the time to do the math, please let us know what Señor Helu is worth in pesos. How about euros?

Don't you own a Ford? Is it possible you are confusing wheelbase length with box dimensions?

Thanks Bruno. It is great to be mentioned among such a distinguished group of expediters. But the truth is if I thought anybody would pay for what I know about expediting or life in general, I would gladly accept their money and also question their sanity. But I wouldn't question their sanity...

Looking good Dennis! I've got a few questions: Any pangs of apprehension while cutting a hole in the roof of a brand new van? Does that material cut as clean and easily as sheet metal? Is the driver's seat OEM? Looks nice and comfy. Is there an inboard arm rest? Is that the solenoid on...

Oh yeah, nice looking truck xdtrucker!

He/she means a drom box, short for dromedary box. Other than a enclosed container, it can also be a drom deck. Which is a flat surface for freight with specific, legal height sides. These were somewhat common prior to deregulation that allowed for extra length vehicle combinations in some...

If I had vans running for me I would have a GPS cranial implant chip clause in my contract. You could charge drivers an extra fee as part of the sign on costs. You could do the implants yourself rather than send a driver to a clinic or hospital and save money. All you would need is the GPS...
