RE: homepage article on oil additives We looked at a 90 day report verses another 90 days with using it. Can't count the winter months because of using other additives that could provide misleading results. I am referring to using anti-gel in the winter. Also, the blend of fuel in the winter...

This isn't the place for the rest of this discussion, so if you feel the need to counter this lets you and I do it behind the scenes. You have my email address and/or you can PM me right here on EO, beings this is the only forum I visit these days. I agree. Lets keep issues with other forums...

It is sad that the actions of a small majority may have contributed to the deaths of many. FEMA, the first wave of LA. National Guard, and N.O. Police Dept. were not prepared for urban combat and sniper attacks. There were rows and rows of emergency vehicles prepared to go in, but were told to...

Rich is correct. I would hang tight alittle bit and see what happens to fuel prices ect. Davekc

RE: homepage article on oil additives Yes. We use Howes Power Cleaner. Helps on fuel economy and keeps deposits off the injectors. KW 300 has 500,000 and no injector issues. And they are the original ones. Davekc

This not correct. Budget cuts and a lack of attention to the levees has gone on for years =============================================================== Very true. This started in the mid nineties. Since the city of New Orleans is sitting on silt and sinking each year, the Army Engineers are...

Marty wrote Lea has been raising the fuel surcharge butlowering the rates they charge their custumers ======================================================== That is why the past fuel surcharge legislation was inadequate. It never did address the actual problems. As far as FedEx, you must be...

I agree with Gibster on this. The fact is everyone is either spending their time blaming, Bush, FEMA, or the fact that many are black and once again, many are pulling the race card. The facts will come out and alot has but not being reported. Why was the response so slow? It wasn't. Days prior...

I am surprised the US is getting the offers of help. As of yesterday, according to Fox News, the below are donating money or sending supplies. The latest largest contributor is Australia, with 7.6 million dollars. Other countries are, Canada Russia France.....who would've quessed Germany...

I think "W" is somewhat limited in what he can do. It is not like he didn't make an effort. When he wanted to open existing wells and drill in Alaska, every enviromentalist group and tree hugger threw a fit. Now we see the results of listening to these radical groups. The public has no one to...

Between high fuel prices and all the suffering that is going on in the coast, these kinds of issues are so far down the scale they aren't worth commenting on. Davekc

Just about any government approved carrier is in the "zone" somewhere. U.S. Express, Landstar, Panther, Fedex, they are all operating down in that region. There are many, many others as well. Memphis and Jackson, MS are becoming major staging areas for shipments down to the gulf region. Davekc

That is crazy. Especially when they don't tell you. You should be awarded detention time for the period you weren't notified. Talk about killing your income potential. Davekc

Bryan has a good point. Seriously, $30,000 in my opinion is too short to enter the field unless you are financing something. I am never a fan of financing truck purchases as they are a depreciating asset. That as it is, $30,000 available cash translates into a $15,000 truck. That doesn't buy...

What are you driving? 900 loaded miles per week sounds pretty low. Davekc

While I am a member of OOIDA, I am a realist and clearly see their limitations. They do wonderful things but at even triple their current membership, they can do little. As mentioned, when either there is a collective effort from the transportation industry or John Q Public starts getting...

The ATA is the same group that was against any fuel surcharge legislation that recently failed. In fact they spent alot in their oppisition to its passage. And again, this is the same group that last year said there was plenty of parking regardless of state available for all trucks. Yes, and...

Requesting information from another company is not likely to cause any litigation unless it involves the aquisition of that account or business (that is expedite specific) that is aquired through a relationship that the original carrier had. As to whether they are knowledgable to issues...
