RE: Tree hugging explained Similar conversations and rebuttals of Kennedy's outrageous assertions were aired on XM's Glen Beck program.

Pappy: You can have it both ways; take your music on the road and tell the bus driver he's no longer needed 'cause you're the new driver. Good Luck!

> Drove 11,552 ALL miles (IFTA) > Grossed $17,791.40 Are you saying the truck grossed or the driver grossed?

RE: looking for answers to a couple of questions t How do you contain and clean up a helium spill?

RE: UPS Expedite name change...UPS Express Critica It seems obvious to me that UPS is aiming to take advantage of the Custom Critical reputation and glean a few customers from the sole major competition by brand name confusion. These folks aren't just thinking about expediting they have the...

Any savings the carrier can realize by reducing the size of its workforce or the compensation to its workforce will undoubtedly be retained by the carrier. Not until such time as there is a critical shortage of owner/operators willing to lease on at the current rates will they consider an...

OK boys and girls, play nice

Not a snowballs chance; she's too well embedded in her district. Plus which of her radical constituants would ever trade her in for the one-issue Cindy?

RE: UPS Expedite name change...UPS Express Critica Gotta wonder what they paid for the consultants to come up with that original name!

There are many ways to do it but here's how I have done mine. I have two deep cycle (d-c) batteries installed in the rear of the van against the outside wall. I ran a pair of very flexible welders' cable avail from a welding supply shop such as Cee-Kay, (CK) from the van battery to the rear. I...

You should be able to buy a small 12v at any number of truckstops, WalMart, etc You can get some reasonably priced 110v LCD TV's in just about any size. TV/DVD combos are a popular way to go. Whichever way you go, an auxiliary battery will save your van battery for starting the van which will...

It can be done, even in a van. I averaged about 650 miles last Thursday, 350 miles on Friday, 0 on Saturday, 0 on Sunday, 72 miles on Monday, 32 miles on Tuesday and 450 miles on Wednesday. Therein is the life of an expediter during a typical 7 day period. During that period I grossed a bit...

A slip of the lip; I didn't mean to write in oil changes. Also note that I said unusual not un-used. I don't agree with the 750 mile example. If the owner is paying the fuel, that should include all necessary and reasonable deadhead. Where I think a driver should pay for fuel, during an...

Generally speaking, If I was an owner, I'd want the driver to pay all the fuel and oil. If I was the driver, I'd want the owner to pay. Expectations of the driver and of the owner are an important consideration. If the driver plans to go home every weekend or some other lesser unreasonable...

Without experience with a given carrier, not likely. If you can find an owner with a van that consistently grosses $100,000 and the owner pays all truck expenses and gives you a typical 40%, you would gross $40,000. We wouldn't want to guess your tax situation nor your requirements for...

One universal truth about expediting...FedEx Custom Critical people complain TO FedEx Cutsom Critical people...Panther people complain TO Panther people. We each seldom, if ever complain across companies. A couple of bad weeks mean nothing with any of our companies. The fact that 3 B loads...

These guys are the ultimate expediters. I watch and wonder why they don't run teams. Doesn't seem like they comply with HOS either. Looks like the guys making the most money without the danger are the guys in Lee's Garage.
