Joe: It's hard to imagine you'd sell one of the best looking Sprinters in the fleet. Don't forget to put an ad in the free classifieds and let us know when the sale begins.

Waffle House...Now that's fine dining. Pork Chops; Eggs and scattered, smothered, covered, chunked, diced and peppered. Mmmmmm. TGI Fridays has a great pecan crusted chicken salad. Ruby Tuesday runs a close second with their grilled chicken salad. And lest I forget, Rene's cooking is among...

I saw a political cartoon this morning wherein a soldier reading a letter from home said to his comrade-in-arms, "Our congress sends their non-binding support" A rather sad but true commentary!

I can't vouch for the truck friendliness, clearance-wise, of the Garmin dash mounted products, my Garmin c340 has features that differentiate car, truck, motorcycle, toll, bus and non-paved routes. When in auto mode, foe example, I am routed to parkways. When in truck mode, I am routed around...

The dispatch situation, that you folks describe occurring at Panther, probably happens at every Qualcomm equipped carrier with two or more trucks. Consider the following example that has happened to many, if not all of us, at FedEx Custom Critical. I have felt your pain many times. You've...

Welcome to the EO forum, and welcome to expediting. It's often difficult to provide concise comments on some posts here because of the belief by many posters that their truck dealers and carriers should remain a secret. It is no secret that every advertiser and sponsor frequently visits the...

A popular bar had a new robotic bartender installed. A fellow came in for a drink and the robot asked him, "What's your IQ?" The man replied, "150." So the robot proceeded to make conversation about Quantum physics, string theory, atomic chemistry, and so on. The man listened intently and...

As Leo alludes, Federal regulators and carriers alike require log books that show a 10/10 drive/sleep cycle rather than the more desired 5/5/5/5. In order to operate in any manner that is not consistant with the regulations, drivers either maintain multiple log books, perform hurry-up log...

RE: How many of us are hauling at reduced rates an Rollin' You might try being a bit more specific with your own situation if you want folks to SHARE their personal info with you. If you had said: I am an (owner/operator)(driver) with ABC Expedite and averaged $x.xx in a (B)(C)(D)(E) truck...

Our best wishes for your friend during seriously trying times for him and his family.

RE: Panther A-Go-Go If you haven't already been there, check this site for appropriate questions for your prospecive owners and/or carrier. http://www.ooida.com/Swimming_sharks/help_list_owner_ops.html

Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and any Port of Entry. No longer required in Kentucky since they joined IFTA. Just because the sign says commercial vehicles and/or trucks enter scales, doesn't necessarily mean cargo vans. My State of Missouri defines a comm'l vehicle as anything with GVWR or...

Right on Greg and nice job displaying your colors. The Purple Promise lives on. Quite often, C, D, and E sized trucks have the excess capacity to safely and legally handle a few hundred pounds over their carrier's advertised tariffs. Standard cargo vans seldom have reserve capacity. When...

In my opinion. you should NEVER take a load that exceeds the maximum weight required by the lease agreement an owner signs with a carrier. Also you should never carry more weight than the GVWR allows for the safe operation of the van. The GVWR minus the curb weight is not your expedite cargo...

I can't imagime anyone tipping a mechanic; a good one is well paid. I occasionally leave a dollar in the shower for an exceptionaly clean shower; not often

Rene' has me schleppin all the time. 1. to carry; lug: to schlep an umbrella on a sunny day. –verb (used without object) 2. to move slowly, awkwardly, or tediously: We schlepped from store to store all day. –noun 3. Also, schlepper. someone or something that is tedious, slow, or...

BAMBAM: Since you joined the forum 13 days ago, you've mentioned your "other half", your "husband", and your "boy friend". For safety purposes, you should only bring along one at a time, particularly if you are logging your HOS. What company will you lease with? In addition to the forum...

I don't agree with the sanity of accounting this way but a response to the question asked is as follows. An expediter that maintains a 70% availability will be on call, on duty, or on duty not driving for 255 days annually. If the expediter nets $50,000, before taxes, he will have earned...
