    Garbage inspection, coming to your neighborhood?

    One of the articles Turtle used as a reference mentioned how composting organic waste reduced methane gas. Specifically that San Francisco had "... the first urban food waste program in the country that has not only helped reduce the city's greenhouse gas emissions nearly 12% below 1990...

    Truck Refrigerators

    I have an Engel MD-14 refrigerator/freezer mounted next to the driver's seat. I added a top "extender", a piece of particle board covered with a piece of a cheap yoga mat. This gives me a larger, non-skid surface table top. I have the unit plugged into a switched, 12 volt outlet. This enables...

    Fuel surcharge cargo vans

    That's very commendable of you. What carrier are you leased to and how do they feel about you turning down loads that pay less than a $1.00/mile?

    Stairway To Heaven?

    Has anyone seen something like this? Both the passenger side and driver's side had these step extender things. Did f4f (I'm not short I'm people) ditch the Sprinter and get a large car?) It gave me something to ponder for miles. The miles have now turned into days. I'm going on vacation...

    If you can handle driving the poorly maintained p.o.s. roads in Michigan, even the Northwest Territories will be a piece of cake.

    Could it be the man with many names from Ft. Wayne?

    What is GVWR of the truck and how much does it weigh empty?

    I'm Speechless. I Got Nothing.

    George Zimmerman is truly the "American Dream" personified. After dealing with all that messy business in Florida he dropped the end three letters from his last name, grew a beard and opened a coast to coast chain of men's clothing stores. Maybe George could hire Darren Wilson as a loss...

    I'm Speechless. I Got Nothing.

    You could process it as another white cop shoots and kills unarmed, defenseless black youth. A grand jury fails to indict white cop. White cop is so overcome with joy he breaks into song on the way to the doughnut shop. There ya go. That wasn't so hard to process.

    Need advice on charging to hand unload my truck

    Not knowing what all is involved at the delivery it is difficult to price it out. I would think that $500 should certainly cover just about anything you could encounter. Good luck!

    Need advice on charging to hand unload my truck

    Define full truckload. Are you talking 20', 24' or 53'? Will you have help at the other end? Besides the hand unload will you be required to sort and segregate the boxes? Will it be an inside delivery? I get a flat $25 for a hand load or unload in a cargo van. I don't believe I have ever...

    Fuel surcharge cargo vans

    Thanks Bob. That's the info I was looking for. I realize that. The original logic behind the f.s.c. was so carriers wouldn't have to constantly change their published tariffs to compensate for erratic swings in the price of fuel. While Panther is still charging their customers their...

    That's what I'm trying to find out and why I posed the question. Bill Murray?

    Fuel surcharge cargo vans

    Not in my base rate. As I stated my f.s.c. has dropped. I want to know if overall rates are declining as the price of fuel drops. Bill Murray?

    Fuel surcharge cargo vans

    So are you seeing a reduction in your rates as the price of fuel drops? I should be directing this question to Bill or Murray. Bill Murray?

    Glass cleaner

    Probably not much difference. I'm guessing that the Formula 40 was one of their original products before branching out into the consumer market. Both products contain the same ingredients, possibly in differing quantities though. I grew up with this stuff. It works great and I like the smell...
