Bill my man, I think you will have to drop the tank before cutting a hole in the floor. But before you cut away you should know that G.M. solved the fuel pump problem. Either they switched vendors or the original vendor changed the design. I had a 1998 and had the fuel pump replaced at a Chevy...

I volunteer to try to explain this courier business. There is a solo expedite driver named Ives. He gets dispatched to haul a load of famous lithographs depicting American life in the mid 1800's from one art museum to another. The museum assigns a courier to ride along with Mr. Ives to...

mascots for drivers????? Like Wonder Woman or Bat Girl? Jeez, I just thought of a real funny one but don't dare post it. Bathroom/showers cleaned (how often?) Facilities (Family restrooms/showers?) Lighting in the parking lots (how much?) Security (off duty officers? fencing? mascots for...

I have never topped a trailer. I did get one all tangled up with pine garland While passing under the main gate of a Catholic women's college. It was after Christmas and the custodian told me to go ahead and tear it down. Saved him from climbing a ladder and taking it down. I once had a...

I saw my first SS gator a few months ago. Looked more like a giant snake with its body coiled and twisted and its head sticking up ready to strike. Wouldn't want to hit one of those with my little van.

Good luck guys! If and when you decide to make another change I will save you a spot in the "Special Needs Division."

"Over the half the Con Way trucks didnt go to Panther so the numbers add up." Bruno, if you live there and you saw it, then I believe you! Must have been quite a sight, 200 vans and trucks rolling down your street. A Con-Way convoy. I didn't have any facts or figures to back up my...

I have a hard time buying that one partner. Con-Way offered a $1000 to every contractor that signed on with Panther. No stipulations. Just sign on. You yourself said in another post that you would sleep on the floor for two nights if the price was right. Why not get in bed with a 2 headed cat?

Kinda makes one wonder why they spent all that money just to get me and Turtle! Jaminjim aren't you an ex-Con? We're special, we're special.....

I believe most loads that require a courier are WG loads. WG trucks are equipped with blankets, pads, straps and several rows of E-track. Some are even reefers. If the courier is riding along to keep an eye on valuable freight, what better place than in the box. Stop every 3 or 4 hours for a...

But Greg, I live in Minnesota. Austin, Minnesota is the corporate headquarters for Hormel. It is my duty as a good Minnesotan to support Spam. Even Spam Light! ya, you betcha ya.

When Panther bought Con-Way, Con-Way was at about 600 units. After the sale Panther's fleet was rumored to be between 1600 to 1800.

Excellent advice!

I did! It was a Saturday morning "mini" picking up at a LTL terminal. Place was locked up when I got there. After the first hour of waiting I QC'd dispatch to verify detention time. Shortly after 3 sets rolled in. I knew one of the drivers and he said the freight I wanted was in one of 6...

It certainly could be caused by something other than Rain-X. I have never experienced it, other than a black line where the wipers park after baking in the sun for a day or two. I clean my glass, at the very least, every time I fuel. I also clean the wiper blades about once a month with...

10-4! Does that mean you're buying?

Some people have the mistaken belief that the United States is the sole consumer of crude oil. As long as the global demand for oil remains high, the price of crude will remain high. Even if the U.S. produces more crude, why would that oil be sold to U.S. refiners for $50/barrel when the...

I find that Rain-X is a magnet for dust when parked. That is about the only negative I can think of. Besides it's rain repelling properties, bug guts seem to clean off easier. Even when baked on by the sun. Always apply Rain-X to clean, warm glass. Very clean glass! Even after having the...

The customer is probably on a 30 day if not 90 day billing. Do you really want to wait that long?
