    To earn points with the PFJ card, call the number on the back of the card and tell them you're an expediter. Only downside to it is that you hafta go in and prepay. After you do, you get points as well as half-shower credits.

    Come Join Our Journey!!!

    I'll give you a break from all the nonsense going on, by asking a question about something that actually matters: how is that truck working out for you? E.g., how's the fuel economy, have you had any problems, especially expensive bs-type problems, and so on. I'm thinking about getting one, as...

    Yup. 400 pounds into the danger zone. Even the illustrious T1N Sprinter qualifies for the hammer of Albany, by a mere 50 lbs :( It's a beautiful place to visit, but unfortunately New York is, in a lot of respects, a fascist state :mad:

    Yellow Ford, idling peacefully? Yup, that was me. Tonight, cannot idle because I'm in NYS and I was advised that it's actually a misdemeanor, in other words a crime, to idle!

    How many trucks/commercial vehicles have you owned in your lifetime?

    As an expediter, the Yellow Submarine is my first. In my courier life, I had a 1999 Dodge and a 1994 Ford. The Dodge was a money pit; the Ford was great until the tinworm killed it :(

    Cargo Van Insurance rates

    Dave Ramsey believes that the decision point for collision & comprehensive is, can you replace your vehicle by writing a check? If you can, you don't need c&c; if like me you cannot, then you do. Of course, if your vehicle is financed, you typically have no choice; you're contractually obligated...

    What Changed?

    And zillion-dollar lawsuits. Imagine if a news station reported a storm like this as no big deal, and some pretty teen died due to lack of preparedness. You'd have tearful news conferences, resignations, new laws named after the victim, the whole nine yards. And the lawyers would come out of the...
