(add confused smiley face thing here) Up to a straight truck? You are confused my friend. I spent 20 years driving T/T to achieve my goal and reach the pinnacle of the trucking industry: cargo van O/O. Why would I regress at this stage in my life? You said all of your kids are grown expect...

I agree with eb. If expediting doesn't work out for you, keep the van as your personal vehicle or sell it to a tradesperson. I can't see working for an owner with a van.

Re: Annoying banter Count me as another member sick and tired of all this annoying banter. I log on to E.O. to view the advertisements and don't appreciate all this chit chat about band width and ad munchies. Talk to me Julie!

Seattle is 2° further north than Bison. I like Daylight Savings Time and I am currently building a side business involving DST. This business is based on the same business plan as the Chicago Climate Exchange. Instead of buying and trading carbon credits I buy and trade minutes in bundles of...

Speaking of "hoser"; I enjoyed your Canadien slang post but noticed the term hoser was absent. What gives, eh! As for turkeys, I have a friend who will be deep frying his bird this Thanksgiving and dumping the left over cooking oil into his fuel tanks. Instant bio-diesel. OPEC can choke on a...

Were you trying to lease a truck or get a loan from Innovative Leasing Services? How did you go about having them prosecuted? What are the charges? Why would this "slime ball outfit Penske recommends" pay to have 30 different credit checks on you? How can several different credit checks...

One can always find "proof" to support their position on the internet! Turkey Prices Hit Record Before Thanksgiving on Feed Costs - Bloomberg

Compared to what? I think one of Sir Isaac Newton's 3 Laws of Motion will support the 63 mph theory.

Did you deliver to the bus plant? I dropped there at 09:00 and went just north to the Wally World in Owasso.

In a FedEx only thread, IRT wrote: "I realy enjoy using the Eagle Eye system to look at live views of where I am picking up at and where Im delivering too. so I can see what Im up against." I think I might like to upgrade to the Eagle Eye system but I am not sure exactly what it is. At...

Greetings Iceman, someone is looking for you.

Looks like you gave up on the southern route. Where is Highway Star coming from?

Neither. I'm home. Did the snow thing yesterday, no sign of the sun. 8" of heavy wet snow. My daughter and her husband were here for dinner. I grilled steak and chicken breasts. Both bi-products of corn fed animals. Bought a Butterball turkey at Costco today for .99/pound. I'm number 2...

62% of the world's Muslims live in Asia. One could infer that many of these Asian carp are also Muslim. Oh crap, Muslim carp!

The reason Sprinters come with in the cab headlight adjustment is because when loaded with a 1000 pounds or more the assend drops causing the headlights to blind aircraft pilots. (insert smiley face here). Fords should also come with a remote headlight adjustment.

Can one purchase Green Giant Nibblets in a third world country?

So we pay a little more for food but more than make up for it with huge savings at the gas pumps. OPEC can stuff it! We got corn! Lots of corn! By January gas will be under a buck a gallon.

I'm with Panther and give them 100 inches for cargo.

Gas prices? What about the price of turkeys? My local grocery chain was selling Butterball turkeys for $1.59/pound. Outrageous! I live in the number 1 turkey producing state in the country. I have never paid over a $1.00/pound for a turkey unless if was stuffed, cooked and served to me by a...

The definitions of hotshotting and expediting have broadened and even become similar over the years. I often hear the term hotshot in relation to airfreight. This is usually freight that needs to be delivered as soon as it hits the ground which means it can't wait to be loaded on a route...
