Thanks for pointing out my spelling error. all shoots have been corrected! LOL Photos and info fowarded. Wonder if repairing or replacing one jet engine would have caused the financial demise of this driver's company?

Ever wonder why some drivers have to adhere to such strick oversized highway rules when others don't? Why do some get heavy fines when others don't for improperly secured or improperly marked loads? In the photo below is one such load that should have been required to follow the same rules as...

Well Taz, let me be the first to welcome you to our little community of friendly expediters that love to share ideas! I see and can attest the point you are trying to make here. Although I like others on this forum have heard nothing about JB Hunt leaving the industry, you do make a tangible...

I would not come out with great expectations, you may be disappointed. I would come out with a positive attitude and enjoy each day and what it has to offer. We've all seen the effects of a stale economy. But through wise business choices, and proper money management we've survived and even...

During my tenure with Midwest Coast Transport, I ran a dedicated foliage run out of Florida. The Biltmore was one of my regular seasonal customers. Most all of the indoor holiday plants placed throughout the house and outdoors plants placed on the porches and patios was grown in the Miami area...

Although we made it home for the holidays, we first thought we would be spending it down at Miami International Airport on standby for inbound jet enjines flying in from overseas. Its an awesome place to hangout and watch as the jets fly past and land. The Miami skyline makes for the background...

Guess after posting questionable photos here, I'm gonna become Ban Boy ll, The next generation!!! LOL Moderators and topless police, FYIO: She aint topless, just jerkn your legs!:p:D;)

Here it is Nov 2nd in the US Customs truck lot at Miami International Airport at 16:50 hrs. Wife just checked the on-board outside thermometer. 113 DEGREES outside!!! Yes, thats right. It aint broken. Others got the same readings. Fall weather, cooler temps outdoors? Yea right. Great topless and...

Being a volunteer fireman/first responder many years ago, and having worked several fatality (adult victims) fires during my tenure, they were the hardest to deal with. When a child is involved, it is especially devastating and heart wrenching! I thank God none of the fires I fought involved a...

I thought so, just making sure! LOL

Bottom line is this, no matter what response a current or former LEO provides on this subject, is it going to be the same intepretation as the next officer? The interpretation that counts is the one thats standing in front of you with ticket book in hand. If you disagree with his/her...

In reading Phil's Oct. 23rd, 2009 I noted that he refers to the T/T unit parked next to him as a "DR unit" rather than an ER unit as we were known as when we were leased to FECC. Since he refers to this T/T and others like it twice in his blog as being DR Units, it has me wondering has FECC...

FECC really wont be able to do much as we learned. Since its the first time registering the truck in Florida and the fact that you have not registered this truck anywhere before, and being Fl O/Os ourselves, I strongly suggest that you use Florida's default miliages for the first year's IRP. The...

Chefdennis, thanks for taking the time to read this important thread and responding to it. It took me a few minutes to go over to the links that I've now included in the original post. Us is every American that ever was, currently is, and in the future will be ordered to LIFETIME alimony by...

Moderators, Please make this a sticky note as it is extremely important and we need the help of the many members of this forum. Members, please read my thread "Proud to be an American Slave" in the Soapbox. This subject could adversely affect you or a family member someday. Thanks, Streakn1

If you thought slavery in the United States of America ended with the 13TH Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1865, think again! If you think your state's constitution can't and wont be broken by your own state and local governments, you better think again! If you believe you or a...

Reading Phil's comments brings the following questions to mind: 1. If the expediting industry continues to change and 2010 proves to be no better than or even less profitable than in 2009 for owners of these highly customized CR and DR units, what other options are availible as alternative...

Excellent question! In my humble opinion, with all of the bad press the trucking industry and drivers get on almost a daily basis, if some positive information you provided gets published or on the local/national news, is it not worth far more than a few dollars compensation? It helps every...

Did our first oversized or over-dimensional load into the city this past week. It was an interesting experience for us and we learned a lot about how NYC and its people deal with getting the large loads around their streets. The load began in NJ where you are only allowed to travel between...
