A couple of days ago, when I was in SC, I mentioned to dispatch that I was planning on going to the Expo. Next day I got a load to Shelbyville, between Louisville and Lexington. Dropped off Thursday morning, and immediately got a load offer from Louisville to El Paso, pick up Thursday, deliver...

Which is more important, who wrote it, or what was written? If someone wants to post an opinion anonymously, that's their choice, and I'm sure they have their own reasons for doing so. IMHO, that doesn't make their opinion any less valid or unworthy of respect. I may not agree with your bumper...

As I have never even met him, far be it from me to speak for Terry, and I dare not presume to do so, but in all the reading that I have done on these boards, I cannot recall a single instance where Terry has actually defended anything his carrier has done or said. Above all else, IMHO, Terry...

From the original press release... http://www.con-way.com/PressClub/2006_RELEASES/06July24.html SAN MATEO, CA - July 24, 2006 -- Con-way Inc. (NYSE: CNW) announced today it had executed an agreement with Panther Expedited Services, Inc. for Panther to purchase the expedited freight...

Just found some good information here: http://www.getnitrogen.org They have some articles from various publications, as well as some videos that people should see. The videos are small, short, and one is of a Discovery Channel spot, and the others are of local news stories, one in Mentor and...

Oh, absolutely :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOzG7bBylRo

RE: Mexico-domiciled trucking companies Pilot Prog I saw one of them last week in Houston, on a tanker hauling flammable HAZMAT (didn't think to note the number), and another one 2 days ago on I-75 northbound in KY, a van trailer. It's my understanding that most (which may not be the case too...

I ordered 40 of them. That will give me 3 or 4 (I think) extra to cover screw-ups and for spares. I ordered them on blind faith, because OVM told me to order that many. :) $100 plus $9.62 shipping (your shipping may vary).

Where can you take a truck to get nitrogen in the tires? You'd think there would be a Web site that lists all the places that cars and trucks can get nitrogen. But, no. And the larger fleets simply have their own nitrogen generators or fillers. There are many tire dealers that do truck and RV...

Thanks for that information, Chuck. Great news, indeed. OVM, "I'd like to see that half shower credit also translate into a $3.50 cash + 1/2 credit= one shower" It does. Well, actually, it's $3.25 cash + 1/2 credit= one shower. Usually I have enough credits on there at any given time for a...

Yeah, the bottom line is, whether it's filled with air or nitrogen, a properly inflated tire will give better fuel economy and tread wear. However, there are a couple of important differences between tires properly inflated with nitrogen and those properly inflated with air. One is, nitrogen...

I ordered mine yesterday, so next time I'm home I'll install them and take pictures. Oh, sorry, wrong Ken. :+

Well, of course, I was being a little facetious (absurd, actually), just pokin' and proddin' at a few to stir it up a little. I just kept reading always, always, always from people, who keep on tossing the word around as if they don't know what it actually means. Always always means always...

Fuel prices are the same, cash or credit, however, if you do actually pay cash, they'll give you a discount. Just ask 'em. If you ask them why it costs more for credit card purchases, they'll tell you that is doesn't, but they will give you a cash discount. It's illegal to charge more for...

I usually buy fuel at the J, cause they give me free showers. :) Being in a cargo van I'll never buy 50+ gallons in one whack. It's more like 20 or so, 25 max (26 gallon tank). Unlike the others, at the Flying J the gallons keep on adding up, 15 here, 20 there, 20 more down the road, and every...

If it's off-center, then it's probably something with the hinges. Those hinges are a little goofy to begin with, and apparently a few people have had problems with them. I think I recall reading something about that over on the Yahoo Sprintervan group, maybe something in the DIY section, too...

Waitress (waiter, server, whatever) brings the check. Me: "I'll get that" My Friend: "No, let me get that" Me: "OK" I'm easy. :)

Shortly after this thread went up, and after I added to it, I got a run. It was 119 miles, picking up at 1730 and a scheduled delivery time of 0800 the next morning, 14 1/2 hours after the pickup. Knowing full well that I don't know anything, I followed the advice of those on here, especially...

On mine, there's a definite hole down at the bottom of the doors where they meet. The rubber strip doesn't cover down there like it should. It's not big, a pencil would be tight, but a fly can certainly get through. A half-inch square of weather striping should do it. Soon as I take the time to...
