    YAYYY!! another happy camper at Load 1

    While I have always been a Landstar supporter, because of the agent based system, I assure you Load1 would be my only choice should I move back to dispatchers. They truly seem to have a well managed company! Congratulations with getting away from Panther and finding your way to the 2nd best...

    Driver's view recorder

    Circuit City isn't. The trade name was acquired by Tiger Direct. Best I can tell, unless you find a TD store, you will order that gizmo from the INternet .... I want one, but will not buy it sight unseen .... perhaps I can get by one the TD locations.

    HUH!! I Didnt know that?

    High value escorts, (nothing to do with wide loads), usually involves the shipper paying the additional fee. In the case of some government stuff, they send their own agents on the escort duty. (It's fun to work them to death, with co-drivers on a semi, and a cruising range of, say, 1200 miles...

    What happened to the header above?

    To the right of "Suppoert and Administration", the "thread header" is only allowing about 7-8 characters, then it inserts a line feed, I guess.... or .. it's the darn IE9 update that is messing with the format

    What happened to the header above?

    Gotta worry about something. (btw, not retired just yet, I still have a van to sell!) But it won't be long! Then I can drive down to Florence and hang around the EO offices all day ... that should be fun. (They'll probably want me to stop at Tim Horton's on the way in .... ) Oh, btw Jim, the...
