    I'm at the J in Indy doing a reset after a great week. I'll head up to Saginaw tomorrow for a Monday morning delivery. Being only 135 miles from the house I'll head home to do my civic duty Tuesday. Hmmm, anyone think I should "vote the bums out"? On the NY subject, I don't do Manhatten, but...

    the cargo van expediter

    Not quite... If a CV is seen swerving all over the road at 0430 and is pulled over, the officer will probably cite the driver for driving while fatigued and put him OOS. HOS doesn't have to come into play. Edit: I just re-read what you wrote and I'm thinking you meant illegal? Or, I guess it...

    Yeah, right. You probably don't believe in Santa or the Easter bunny either.

    How about a shotgun?

    It didn't scare me, but it does suggest some kind of therapy might do you some good. Or, on the other hand, maybe I need some help, because I've never even come close to wishing I was carrying a weapon. Not even for a fraction of a second. And I've been to inner city areas that are as bad as it...

    St Louis (Fenton)Chrysler plants

    I'm not so sure about that. Every time I've been to Honda, Toyota, ect., there's been other expediters there. Every time. The Big 3, (yeah, I know Greg), don't expedite anywhere near the way they did in the '90s.

    So I am truck shopping

    Mine's an auto shift, not automatic. I'm sure the gearing in my 6-speed trans helps with the mileage. I'm not sure what the numbers are on the gearing.

    Turtle's post is a must read for any newb, absolutely a sticky. As far as getting more miles, as a contractor you're at the mercy of the carrier. You'll get the miles they see fit to give you when it's your turn. When you deliver you'll go into the dispatch rotation and wait til you're next...

    Ticket prices slashed

    Sure, it's about medical services costs and what they bill the insurance companies. Hospitals and clinics, like any business, have costs of operation. They also have customers that pay and customers that don't. If I'm in the hospital, that $40 Tylenol pill just might be a bit less if everyone...

    Gotta love it!!

    I was in Orlando hoping to not deadhead out because, you know, it's Florida. I get offered a load picking up the next morning just north of Miami going to South Carolina. Awesome. I load the freight, get 40 miles up the road and the phone rings. Crap. Take the freight back. The only good news is...

    I'm at the TA in Branford, Ct. It's starting to get late headquarters... Hello??.... Edit: Sorry, didn't mean to go all IRT here.

    The problem with the choices we have in the voting booth is that the best of the best among us don't want to have to endure the deep investigation of their background to run. Everyone has a skeleton or two and the true talents would rather stick to the private sector and make some real coin...

    Which Straight Truck?

    I stand corrected. I thought they were around 12.
