    GPS Causes Bridge Crashes

    The way New York does it is totally stewpid!!! The last time I went to Brooklyn I followed another truck out. He told me not to worry, he knew the best way out. I was going under bridges that were marked way lower than my box. My rear end puckered up tighter than Nancy Pelosi's face!

    Involved in, or caused by?

    Good post Charles. What I find funny is how I can go for quite a while with things going smooth, then I'll have 2 or 3 days where I seem to attract every idiot on the road. The suggestion in that other thread that more regs will make us safer is just laughable.

    Wanting to get into expediting!!

    42k is pretty good money. If your looking to improve on that, don't even consider a cargo van. It's doable in a straight, but no guarantee. If your not unhappy doing what you're doing for 42k, you may want to consider sticking with it. Do you get benefits on top of that? If so, I'd say it's a no...

    Currently running from Jersey to Chicago Heights for Monday morning. I'll probably hang at the Monee Petro Monday unless pre-dispatched.

    van line haul distance

    When I entered this biz 11 years ago, 2 things were commonly said about cargo vans. 1, that being subject to HOS was going to happen at any time, and 2, that they were going to disappear from the industry. Neither of these things has happened. With HOS having been through a major change, it...

    Nuvi 465T

    While GPS users know that the units can be stupid once in a while, my 465 earned a "most stupid thing ever" award this past Saturday. Going through Detroit southbound on 75, it wanted me to exit on Clark Street, and then get right back on 75. I'm not making this up!

    E250 or E350

    Guido, if it doesn't have a converter, then it's been touched. 5" seems like overkill to me as well. Your no where near running that engine truly hard, such as heavy towing. Those are the guys that get a benefit from that kind of modification.

    Whew... O.K.... I just need to take a deep breath, I'm still hyperventilating a bit. Thanks to this thread, I just met Moot. That's right, the Mootster!! The Mootilater! Mooty toot toot! As you may imagine, it was pretty exciting. He even let me hold his clipboard and sandwich while he...

    van line haul distance

    I don't think there should be any arbitrary, one size fits all rule. Leave it up to the individual, and whatever a particular load may call for. When dispatched at 45 mph, I was willing to run as many miles as they could come up with. There will be sleep time built in to a 45 mph dispatch. If...

    NASA to air live video of 'moon bombing'

    I watched it on Fox News. It was about as exciting as "Al Capone's Vault."

    Currently @ Toledo Freightliner. Deer are vile and despicable creatures. I propose we engage in mass venicide to rid the world of these oversize rodents.

    The World May End!!

    Could there be more shame in the world than to be a Redskin right now? I don't think so... Well, maybe if you were a convicted pedophile... No, I'm gonna go with being a redskin.
