There are plenty of expediters in your neck of the woods. They're just pulling log trailers. I at one time "expedited" pulp logs just up the street from you in Mizpah.

Roadee, some excellent advice has been posted here, especially Arlene's. Read her post a few more times and if you still want to do the lease/purchase thing then go for it. If you mind is made up then its a done deal. Good luck! Pay an attorney to read the lease and explain it. Let us know...

Currently -19 and strong winds blowing on the northwest side of Minneapolis. I have been out of service this weekend. Yesterday the Cat had me down for a Monday pick up going to Winnipeg. Just checked the website and found that someone else is on it. Scuse me while I chunk a brick!

Excellent civics lesson Pilgrim!

I carry bricks also but they ain't clothes.

Next weeks orientation should more than fill the depleted ranks. If not there is always another orientation and another group eagerly awaiting their turn.

To quote my brother-in-law: "When you are a male, the world is your urinal." I hear this from him on the first day of every canoe trip I have made with him.

If you ever get to Duluth, MN; the ore carrier the S.S. William A. Irvin is open for tours. The tour lasts about an hour and covers the entire ship. From the cargo hold to the luxurious staterooms reserved for special guests of the steel companies. I have toured the Irvin several times and...

Good advice, most of the things mentioned should be in every truck. You don't need to travel to Canada or Alaska to find temperatures in excess of -25 degrees. I have driven in temperatures below -40. Transmission was difficult to shift, steering rack was stiff and rock hard grease on the...

Idad, if you have been with Panther for 2 1/2 years you should know by now the game isn't played on a level field. I'm not sure it is even played on a field. Clear, well defined rules tend to muck up the operation. You are now passing through Nebulousville on your way to the Twilight Zone...

Clinton loaned her campaign $5 million. I assume with interest attached and rates higher than conventional sources.

Have any Panther People had trouble getting paid on multiple pros scanned together on 1 cover sheet. It is not uncommon for me to scan multiple pros and B.O.L.'s on 1 cover sheet and listing each pro number in the space provided. Recently I noticed I didn't get paid on 1 pro that I had...

Not many people take the time to write a letter of thanks or a complaint when dealing with large retailers. Myself included. Your story proves that management does read these letters and acts on them. Your letters even turned a profit for you! It pays to be honest.

Great story TJ. I hope the stream wasn't too deep. Sprinters don't have much ground clearance. I delivered to a farm in North Dakota. I had a contact phone number and called from a small gas station off the main highway. A man in a pick up truck met me and told me to follow him. I chased...

Bob, thanks for the info! I like being able to use the QC for board position. So far I think it is fairly accurate and easy to use. I can see how the board changes could negatively effect someone like Indydad when he is home. Maybe a phone call could get him placed on the Indy board. Lyla...

What's the word? "Viva la Mexico!" "We don't need no steenking log books."

Mike, are you taking a hiatus from E.O., expediting or both? If this is a mid life crisis thing, then go for it and enjoy. Although it was a mid life crisis thing that got me into expediting. Oh well. What ever you are doing have fun and keep in touch.

Prof, I have been told that the "P" isn't allowed on E.O. There is a member (pun intended) that finds the "P" word offensive.

I wonder if Indians (a.k.a. people from India) find it offensive that Native Americans (a.k.a. Early Americans) are called Indians because of an Italian sailor with poor map skills.

During the past 25 or so years many places and names have been changed to conform to the political correctness of the times. Usually these changes were instigated by well intentioned, ignorant, liberal white folks. They felt certain names were derogatory toward minority groups. Schools with...
