>I am still trying to figure out what he was talking about a direct drive trans is better than an OD trans, oh well I will have to dig for the answer. In theory a direct drive transmission will give you slightly better fuel mileage than a overdrive. The reason being that all power goes...

"After that, however, the goofballs chimed in, and what can I say? " You can say you are sorry. I feel you are attacking me and other members with that slanderous statement. Will someone please come to my aid and protect me from this mean woman. DD? Help!

"Now, cheap freight rates and the inflated cost of everything else is another story." Terry, I agree. My f.s.c. is keeping fuel prices at $1.25/gallon for loaded miles only. But I am still making less than I was 10 years ago. Greg without NASA we wouldn't have Tang or Velcro. So there!

Fresh, I really think you should consult with a transportion lawyer. I believe even private carriers need a DOT number and liability coverage. Would your friends insurance carrier cover you (you are not an employee of this company) in the event of an accident?

When I started expediting gasoline was under a buck a gallon. While doing the math to see if I could make a go of it as an O/O I used $1.50/gallon as a worst case senario. Man was I wrong!!!!!

RE: Laguna Burger, Laguna Indian Reservation New M Often times the little out of the way greasy spoon joint has the best food. Certainly a nice change from the coast to coast chain retaurants. It is even becoming more difficult to find regional food at truck stops as the chain mentallity...

Most of the after midnight load offers have been recovery or transfers do to a breakdown. Loads swapping out because of length of haul should be set up before the freight leaves the shipper. I can't understand why dispatch waits until the last minute to set these up. I have had a few load...

I have a question about QC logs. During the double nickle years I logged at 52-53 mph. After states changed speed limits I would still log a couple of mph's under the limit. That meant logging states like Illinois at 52 mph even though I ran 65 mph. How do you run a 55mph state. I am not...

"Freight is freight, but dead is dead. And I'm not dying for freight." -Tennesseahawk Excellent words to live by! Everyone should read and think about this motto and then live and work accordingly.

RE: Tired of everyone going I remember some know-it-all moron replying to a post about how to say thank you when someone flashes you back over with a rant about a blinker fluid shortage. How off topic is that! I googled blinker fluid and it doesn't exist. What a goober! I think this forum...

Turtle, in your Smyrna scenario you forgot to mention that the directions are a mess, the QC says deliver to dock 9 instead of gate 9, you are driving on Nissan Drive looking for a sign directing you to dock 9, while gate 9 is located way around the plant on Eunuch Springs Road. Oh yea, it is...

I hope they didn't club any baby lawyers. They're so darn cute!

Oooooh, wise guy hey. If anybody ever posts under the name Curly, it ain't me.

RE: Tired of everyone going Hey FtWayne, want a piece of me tough guy? I just pulled of the information super highway at exit 37. I am in a white Chevy van. I'm waiting for you. Just kidding! I am sure all will be forgiven if you give it time.

What a great thread! 60 mph, even though I am not a mod I will be watching for similar handles. You tipped your hand in your previous reply. Wow, I feel like a Hitler youth already. Greg, there you go disagreeing with Phil again. What is your problem young man! Cheri, it is a good thing...

Could we log in under other names and accounts?

I can't speak for all expediting serial killers, only myself. I chose a white cargo van because it offers more room than a car. Ever try to lug a 300 pound stiff from the trunk of a Ford Escort? Or lift one 4 feet into the back of a truck? Oh sure, one could always add a liftgate and reap the...

I would ask for some Preparation H and a lift back to my van.

So what would be the best way to treat painful rectal itch?

Rich has the best idea, but if that isn't practical combine both Leo and Ark's suggestions. At a truck stop drive through the lot slowly. When you find a parking spot, pull in part way and wait a minute or so and then pull ahead. Not only will the tires cool but so will the brake drums...
