My horse shoe and rabbit's foot have been working well this week.

I delivered in Bay City this morning and came down through Lansing. I was looking for you on I-69 because OVM said you would be heading to the Fort.

I say reinstate the van. Some nutjob is always trying to ban the van. This is a free country. America needs vans.

It's a shame that YRC will probably drag Holland down with them. Holland has been a top notch, profitable regional LTL carrier. Holland is somewhat of separate entity from Yellow and Roadway. Maybe they could be sold, if anyone is in the market for a union LTL.

Yeah, a pair of gray ratchet straps, a pair of gray cam lock straps and a pair of yellow cam lock straps.

I have E-Track on the floor and side walls. The floor mounted E-Track is secured with self-tapping screws and stainless steel bolts into or through the metal floor.

While it can be fun and informative to shoot the breeze with your peers and competitors, 3 days seems excessive. Myself, after a few hours of chit-chat would press north into the bootheel for introspective reflection and load offer nirvana. "I would live all my life in nonchalance and...

Thank you Dieseldiva and Rlent for exposing this slug.

I think you found where to begin. E.O. is a great place to start your research. I would recommend attending the Expedite Expo, but it is too late for that. If you already have a tractor, why not use it for expediting? Expediting is different than running terminal to terminal. More down...

For someone who is looking into expediting, has no prior trucking experience and isn't familiar with the term "truck operating authority" should probably stick to the basics. A student thinking about entering a pre-med program does not need to bone up on brain surgery at this point. Learn...

Here is a link that should keep you busy for months:Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Having your own authority is not something I would recommend to someone who is just starting out. Continue to research the entry level basics.

The title of this thread is: What happening with Panther??? Not What happening with TriState. Wrong thread my friend. At Panther, dispatch, customer service, safety and the swap department all get involved. That in itself should explain why it takes several hours. For vans a load over 800...

Ken, did you figure in the exchange rate? Are those cents metric, Imperial or U.S.

An inside delivery is when you physically move the freight from your truck to where the customer wants it. This could involve a dock at an office building and the customer requests the freight be delivered to an office on the 44th floor. Or there may be no dock and you carry or use a cart to...

And some folks do grasp the concept. They're the ones you are butting heads with.

Excellent advice!

Chef, I have noticed your frequent use of the word; sheeple. I looked up the definition on-line and this is what I found: Sheeple is a term of disparagement, a portmanteau of the words "sheep" and "people." It is often used to denote persons who voluntarily acquiesce to a perceived...

Dennis, read the above quotes and give them some serious thought. What you post on the Soap Box Forum has an effect on the credibility of your posts on other forums. Yea, I know you don't care what anybody thinks. But you've got good stuff to offer E.O. other than your one track political...

When I read Doug's original post and responded, I thought it was he that was the perpetrator of the hoax. I figured he was trying to yank somebody's airlines. Doug and I exchanged pm's and he certainly was mystified by the e-mail. Especially the fact that it appeared to have come from one...
