    Cinco de Mayo

    En mi opinión humilde pueda fifth es justo una excusa para un partido. Está todo sobre margaritas. Cada uno se parece pensar que está sobre independencia mexicana cuando en el hecho, él está sobre la batalla de Puebla cuando el mexicano derrotó a franceses en el fifth 1862 de mayo. La...

    Need more fridge/freezer

    If you get one of the 12 volt things you find at the truck stop they are only going to keep anything you put into about 30 degrees below the ambient temperature (75 in sleeper 45 in cooler) not cool enough to keep food at safe temp.

    Percentage of night driving

    I have alway refered to expediting as the: "Five o'clock OH S%#T freight" it gets to be five o'clock and someone says "OH S%#T we ain't gonna make it to morning" And that is why we get the big bucks, because if they could wait until day after tomorrow they would just call JB Hunt.

    Rolling Hills and Passing

    I don't mean to be flip but the way I do it is I drive my truck and let the other guy drive his. If he wants to try and pass me and my cruise is on they can have at it but, if you can't make it pass me then that is not my problem. I use my cruise most of the time as it does improve fuel...

    Perfect time to ask this question

    Gross and net have nothing to do with each other. Some people have a higher tax bracket and some have more deductions also if they own their truck outright. So if someone tells you their gross you should be able to look at your own situation and determine how much you could net with the same...

    Yes, in order to get to the good numbers you have to have the surgery. But the kind is classified. When you need the surgery then you will know what kind. I just wish I could give you a full year of hard running numbers. Maybe next year,

    Mine is just DR and I also had surgery last year with drivers in the truck, if we had been in the full time revenue would have been higher.

    Talk about fast

    I am not sure but I think you guys are talking about 2 different cars. There is a Ford GT (MSRP $155,000.00) and there is the Ford Mustang GT (MSRP $35,0000.00) The GT looks like a race car and the Mustang GT looks like a Mustang

    This concerns panther people

    I am not with Panther but I would still like to comment. We are expeditors and as such load counts really don't mean much as most people call us because they didn't make the regular freight routes for what ever reason and usually what we haul is emergency freight therefore you might just get...

    Finish this sentence...

    Books on CD

    When I am home I check them out of the libray then record them on CD-RW, then when I am finished listening to them I can record over them. Some players will play them in MP3 format and if so you can use only one CD for a whole book. But test your player first so as not to waste your time.

    First time posting fears!

    I am with you wondering if anyone would like to hear my opinion. What I do is a lot of copy and pasting; I take my post and write it out in my word processor program and then do a spell and grammar check then copy and paste to the site.
