x06col, I have enjoyed your posts over the years. Best of luck in your future endeavors! EO will not be the same without you TYPING.

Hey Rev, Is cool Breeze the brand name of that fan? Also could you let us know where you purchased it, looks like a good idea. Thanks for your reply in advance.

Have you seen this e-mail? Garfield on the oil crisis A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country. ~~~ Well, there's a very simple answer. ~~~ Nobody bothered to check the oil. ~~~ We just...

I like I 87 north through New York state to Canada.

I think the point about late night offers was not that they happen or don't. The idea was that under the new system the number of evening calls could increase, because you are receiving " load opportunities", rather than load offers. Does not seem to be an issue unless you are in a crowded...

Installed a k&n in a f550 7.3 diesel a few years ago, ended up replacing turbo, live and learn. just my opinion

I'am not one to set records with tire wear, I believe in having plenty of tread. My last Ford van came with HANKOOK DYNA PRO AS tires from the factory, and they wear like iron! 90,000 miles and little noticeable wear. However in the rear I always run a high traction tire, and can heartily...

Every day the questions are asked, how many miles can I run a week, in a van, in a straight truck, in a tractor, 1000, 1500, 2000, ............ ? The answers always are , it depends, on your carrier, on your location ,on your expediting sense, on the economy.............etc. I suggest that...

Most of us have been subjected to a delivery at a uaw facility, and know the score. Just think of the bright side of these new auto worker expediters, they will finally get a taste of their own medicine. Just my opinion

Industry problems, trends, and innovation have weighed heavily on expediters minds recently. Just for example look at the #1 most predominate topic on this forum. How your fellow expediter deals with his or her urine, and whether to impose your favorite pee etiquette in person or via third...

Original ideas in the truck driving world, what a thought! just my opinion

I find it very amusing when some post their concerns about retirees or people with another source of income expediting. THESE FOLKS ARE EXACTLY THE ONES MOST SUITED FOR THIS BUSINESS! Granted fleet owners do NOT like this category of expeditors because they require the needy and hungry...

Refreshingly different kinda fun to use once learning curve complete. Nice job!

I think Broom is correct in pointing out the time factor.The pay per mile, deadhead, and delivery location issues all are secondary to the amout of time that you have tied up your income generating tool, ( the truck). By accepting this load the truck can be used for little else except a cramped...

RE: Top 5 things you can do to make money with FED I wish I had five dollars for every time over the years, someone has posted a notification to the EO community, that they have had the opportunity to sit with dispatch, and how awed they are by the complexity of the job. What do you think we...

RE: Top 5 things you can do to make money with FED Humorous, when you get time how about sharing the top ten list?

Well it sounds to me like the toll collectors that try not to encourage you to take a receipt, might be making a nice little "bonus" each day. Perhaps the Turnpike commission might be interested in your story. I wonder about how well the attendants get paid every time I am short-changed and...

I also received this e-mail and was surprised that not only was there no mention of Custom Critical in the ad, but a strong sales pitch from Virginia Albanese as president and ceo of Fed Ex Truckload Brokerage. I see this as some of the others have remarked, that Fed Ex is trying to get every...

Good for Panther,less dog and pony show, and maybe more B loads will find their way onto vans. Just my opinion

I think the lady in this instance wins the debate hands down! After all this is EXPEDITE. Deliver quickly and safely then move on.
