I've noticed more and more Walmarts are putting up low clearance beams and NO TRUCK signs. I agree that the car alarms, bass heavy stereos and straight pipe motorcycles are annoying. But I don't miss the bull racks or reefers that cycle all night.

Con-Way supplied every O/O with a 3-ring binder with company name and logo on the cover. All permits were in plastic sleeves and printed on or affixed to different colored paper. The first page in the binder was an index, listing the order and color of the permit page. As permits expired, new...

RE: This has Cheri's (and others) name written all Just don't brush your teeth with it!

Below is a link to some thumbnail proofs of the I-35W bridge collapse. http://www.conphoto.net/collapse.html

Unless you are buying fuel year round in southern tier states I'm sure things even out. This week I have been buying fuel in Missouri and Tennessee where temperatures are hitting 100 degrees. Am I getting a little less bang for my buck? Probably! But wait until this winter when I am buying...

I live in Minneapolis and like Henry Ford said, I have choice of any major airline as long as it is Northwest. Sorry, I think Mr. Ford was referring to model T's and colors. Same principle though. Amazing how Northwest can emerge from bankruptcy a few months ago and now join forces with a...

Like FedEx, UPS chose to use the term "critical" in it's name. "Expedite" has become over used and I think "critical" better defines what we do as expediters. If you think about this long enough it may make sense.

I agree with Turtle, use a real battery isolator. I bought an isolator from Hellroaring a few years ago. No problems with the isolator or any of the batteries.

Turtle, have you ever been a wrestler?

Greg, with all that wood I hope you have a hammer and a box of 16d duplex nails. When I did city P&D for an LTL company my most used and valuable piece of equipment was a basic 2 wheel dolly. I used it not only for its intended purpose of transporting boxes, but as a johnson bar, shovel, pry...

There could be more than one of those rigs running around. I saw it exiting a scale from across the median. I guessed it to be a 28', but from that distance what's another 4 feet. I'm fairly sure on the sleeper size though.

I reported seeing a FedEx CC tractor pulling a 28' reefer with lift gate. I didn't get a good look at the tractor. The trailer is what caught my eye. But I believe the tractor had a 60" or 72" OEM sleeper.

Turtle, I agree with you, but it will be the media and the politicians that jump all over INFRASTRUCTURE CRISIS. It would be un-American not to have at least one national crisis to report and fret about.

Greg, I'm not sure what I am, other than mostly confused.

It has been a little over a year since Con-Way sold it's expedite division to Panther. I'm curious to know how many ex-Cons are still with Panther. If you left, where did you go? How long did you stay? Are you still in expediting? Please reply indicating whether you are an O/O, fleet owner or...

Thanks Jeff. My daughter told me to use Firefox and I installed it the other day on my laptop, about the same time the red lines started to appear. I was worried it was something in my coffee. About the same I noticed my wifi connection quit working. Any suggestions?

Several years ago a waitress who was born and raised in Ely, Mn and was working in a bar near the lift bridge in Duluth, MN told me the following joke... What is the difference between a Canuck and a canoe? A canoe tips.

My fist week with Panther I was laying over at the J in whiteland, In. I had been there about 5 hours when another Panther van parked next to me. He had delivered in Columbus and came up to Indy to layover. About 20 minutes into our conversation his QC beeped with a load offer, Indy to...

Try misspelling some words.

When I post a little red squigglely line appears under misspelled words. Right now the word squigglely is underlined in red.
