    Racism, Really

    At the beginning of the video Jay Fazya mentioned "metadata world wide surveys" no specific survey. My point is that people aren't always truthful when replying to surveys. As a junior high student in the Minneapolis Public School System we were subjected once a year to a survey pertaining to...

    Cargo Van's starting to log?

    You are absolutely right! One of Trump's original campaign promises was to ban vans from the nation's highways. He has since backed down on a total van ban. But effective April 1, 2017, all vans will be required to log. This bill is part of his comprehensive border security initiative...

    Racism, Really

    Being Irish probably didn't help either.

    Racism, Really

    This is an interesting and surprising video. One problem I have with it is Mr. Fayza quoting statistics from "metadata world wide surveys". The results of these surveys show that Western Europe and America are some of the least racist countries in the world. There populations are also mostly...

    Meet your replacement

    . I've met my replacement. It's a low tech chimpanzee. Expedite van driving is so easy even a chimp can do it and do it cheaper than some humans. Chimps are being used as dispatchers, but mostly on 3rd shift and weekends. So it's a logical progression that chimps will soon be driving cargo...

    Respect the TOE

    I have never run out of gas in my expediting career. I will admit to seeing the low fuel light come on in my Transit twice. This 25 gallon fuel tank sucks for expediting.

    The Curse of Oak Island

    I've fished off Oak Island on Lake Of The Woods a couple of times. Never did well and its a long boat ride from Zippel Bay. I guess that could be considered a curse.

    Espar diagnostics

    I'd go with xiggi's suggestion. I was thinking press the button with the 3 snakes that have the triangle heads. Then swipe the snakes left toward the fan thing to chop off their heads and then press an up or down arrow to take out the trash.

    Respect the TOE

    How about always fill up tank. If you don't have money for fuel you shouldn't be expediting.

    Storm Freight

    You don't need to be near the area affected directly by the ice storm. LTL schedules that were bound for terminals that were affected by the ice storm were held back. Freight should be backing up just about everywhere. I guess it will depend on how desperately customers want to get their...

    Millhouse logistics

    I don't believe any carrier has an incentive to lease on an owner that has such specific load requirements as you have posted about. I would think a small carrier that works only load boards would be a better fit for you. They are more apt to look for and book the specific loads you require.

    Storm Freight

    Has anybody picked up freight that went expedite due to the ice storm. I would think LTL carriers are beginning to get backed up and some customers may want their shipments expedited. Could be a good week for expediters.

    Millhouse logistics

    As for sign-on fees, I agree with Piper. Most carriers charge a sign-on fee. When I first started with Con-Way Now I paid for QC installation and decal application. Probably a drug test fee also. When I bought a new van they once again charged me for QC installation and decal application. I...

    Millhouse logistics

    Panther hasn't done that in years. They do keep track of loads accepted and loads refused. If your acceptance rate drops below 70% you will sit until they need you.

    Millhouse logistics

    I'm confused, again. Are you saying Millhouse fees are high and they come up short on load offers? If so, what exactly are Millhouse's fees and what are the amount of these fees? What carrier offers that? Are you dreamin again? Is this a sincere please and thank you, have a nice day or is it...

    Racism, Really

    This topic deserves a thread of its own. I know it was a reply to a Trump Card post, but this should get legs and stand on its own as a new thread on the Soapbox Forum. Turtle?
