    Phones Verizon unlimited data plan starts tomorrow

    I have Verizon. I pay $117 a month before discounts and taxes. $67 of that total is for phone service and $50 is for my aircard thing (5gigs). Switching to the unlimited plan and ditching my aircard thing for $80 seems like one of those no-brainer deals. What am I missing?

    When do roads generally stop icing?

    I usually hear that the other way around from big riggers on the CB. They often say: " I seen spry comin' offin' them tiars. Hammer down." Or: "I'm a showin' 33 deegrees, lets roll." What they failed to understand is the surface temperature may be colder than the air temperature. Also...

    Expediter golf cart

    The last safety director at Con-Way Now had a similar cart. His had a QC unit on the roof so he could send asinine safety messages while he waited for his 09:00 tee time.

    Advice for a cargo newbie?

    When Road Runner implemented the team only policy they probably kept current solos and let attrition do its thing. Why did your buddy leave?

    IRS Form 1099

    The "other" for me would include income outside of transportation such as my former chinchilla business, Grit Newspapers, Pet Gators etc. Detention, FSC, layover etc. are included as compensation for freight hauling.

    yep we need more pipelines!

    The following linked article would probably be a better fit in the Fake News thread, Black Lives Matter or Occupy Wall Street Now thread. It highlights some of the hypocrisy of these "feel good" protests. This is a thread about pipelines so here it is: Water Contamination Threat Rises At...

    yep we need more pipelines!

    Of course it's for profit. Pipelines are the safest and most economical way to transport oil and gas. Electric transmission lines serve pretty much one purpose...profit for electric utilities to get electricity to market. Would you purpose electricity generated from wind and solar be stored...

    IRS Form 1099

    I don't know! I started this thread to see if any other carriers were going this route. I totally believe everything Panther tells me without question but this one time I thought it prudent to get a second opinion. I will be meeting with my tax accountant in early March so he can clarify this...

    2017 Tax Changes

    While it is 2017 we are dealing with the tax 2016. According to an E-mail from Panther, actually the name of the sender was "root". I almost dismissed this E-mail as spam. Anywho, there is a new IRS rule about 1099s that apply to us. I will start a new thread concerning this rule.

    2013 sprinter heat not working

    I know nothing about Sprinters other than what I read here. My guess would be the heater core valve. How is the valve controlled, cable, electrically or vacuum?
