Smarter than Hillary?

10 grand isn't a whole lot to invest to get into this business. It will provide a down payment on a new or used van, with some left over for setting it up for expediting and reserves. A van is a very small place to live in. Unless you two are real good buddies (same household) I don't think...

I like to cook Pop Tarts on the dash. After seeing Funsized's avatar I'm thinking about switching to Moon Pies for breakfast.

Nice van Jack! Are the extended sidewalls and roof made of fiberglass? Do the extended doors, latch and seal tight where they meet the new roof and side panels? Were you able to mount the QC in the cubbyhole above the cab and get a satellite signal? More questions to follow. Please keep us...

I'm sitting in Minneapolis. Need to go north. Yup I got to be on Bowstring Lake today. Short notice on my part. Realy The call I got wasnt. Time to cash in the investment and the time is now. Time to fish and time to cut bait. After All A deal is a deal. I got fish to fry. Its pay back...

Why not go with Kevmar.

I think it is specific to this refinery. Management and the union got into a peeing contest. Management implemented the facial hair rule and used the "safety issue" thing to back it up. The union said if it is about safety, then it should apply to all persons on the property. The refinery is...

Rides again.

Me too! Actually I like the Chicago area. Right now I am sitting in Elk Grove Village waiting for the consignee to open. Then it's over to Bartlett for a pickup. Most large expedite companies contract with owner/operators. As a contractor (not an employee) you would not be eligible for a...

When I did LTL P&D I had an oil refinery on my route. The guard would deny entry to me because I had a beard. Not a ZZ Top or taliban beard. Just a trimmed full beard. There was a poster hanging in the guard shack straight out of the military handbook. It showed sideburns trimmed to the...

One in the ignition, one on a key ring with other keys in my pocket and one stashed. I also carry a hammer in my wallet, just in case.

You may want to reconsider that practice. Highways are littered with binders, chains, tarp straps, load straps, winches, 4x4's, bricks, blocks, lumber, turnips and assorted debris. Most of this fell from open top trailers, not enclosed vans.

I say get rid of the vacationers and of course, ban the van. Freeing the industry of these two pests will level the playing field for those poor truck O/O's who will haul a load for the price of fuel and a hamburger. Gotta keep those wheels rollin'. Do the Mud Shark Dance. Keep moving or die.

Alex: "Streakn1" STREAKN1: "Who are Ruben and the Jets?" Alex: "Sorry, that is incorrect." Alex: "Moot." Moot: "um, ah...When did they come from?" Alex: "What the ??? No! Wrong answer. Alex: "Deville" Deville: "What is hypocrisy?"

Stay away from the Holy Water!

Do an EO search using the word "airtabs". You will find several threads on the subject.

When I replaced my old van with a new one at Con-Way I removed the dome, mounting bracket and wire harness. I was told not to cut the wire harness because there was a $150 charge for that. I'm not sure what FECC's policy is, but to be safe return everything intact or risk losing a chunk of your...

Happy Birthday Joe! How was your comedic debut? Any video?

I think California is bankrupt fiscally and morally. They don't need any help from Mexico. My son lived in Gaunajuato, Mexico for 3 months last year. He said Cinco de Mayo was recognized as a date Mexico defeated the French in a battle, but was not celebrated as it is in this country...
