    90% fewer men

    Another screwball looking for that elusive 15 minutes of internet fame. Reminds me of that moron here on E.O. who would like to restrict the number of cargo vans in expeditng by promoting a "ban the van movement", even though he owns a van. Overdive Magazine, The Vice Of The American Trucker...

    California schools

    I like the very last line from the linked article: Textbooks could be updated within five years, likely after Mr. Obama leaves office. Is that California math or a veiled wish for more hope and change?

    Owning a cargo van

    . When Jimmy was a lad he and his sister had a Kool-Aid stand. They could charge any price they wanted and still make a profit. 3 cents a glass was profitable because mom supplied the Kool-Aid, C & H pure cane sugar from Hawaii, fluoridated water, pitcher and cups. No overhead or other...

    Owning a cargo van

    Instead of asking how much to charge a customer, sit down and figure out how much it will cost you! What are you paying for vehicle insurance, cargo insurance and liability insurance? What is your cost per mile for fuel and maintenance? What are your van loan payments if any? How much money...

    Owning a cargo van

    I would guess in the $1.70 - $2.00/mile range, depending on the customer. The more hands the load passes through before getting to the carrier, the lower the rate.

    Man leaves kids in hot car for hours, receives justice

    Yeah, saves the taxpayers money from potential lawsuits. The end results are the same though, the guy gets the snot beat out of him. Wouldn't it be better to get beaten by professional thugs in uniform than a bunch of drunk, rank amateurs?

    The dog days of summer: AUGUST!

    Approximately 5,000 expedite vans do go belly up each year. Unfortunately those 5,000 vans are placed by 6,000 newbies in vans every year.

    My 2015 Ford Transit Experience

    Hey hoser, we're Americans and we buy E85 because it is the patriotic thing to do. By using a fuel that is 85% ethanol, made from American grown corn, we are reducing our dependence on foreign oil. Why pay a foreign cartel made up of towel wearing terrorists exorbitant prices for oil? That...

    Where are Al, Jessie and the media?

    Where are Al, Jessie and the media? Which Al and Jesse are you looking for? The black ones or the white ones? Last I heard Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson were in Ferguson, MO. Two years ago when those kids in Texas died, Al and Jesse were in Sanford, FL. It really doesn't matter where Al...

    another newbie, another day

    "The wife", I said that once a long time ago and I still walk with a limp. Why not wait until after the baby is born and see what comes along. Daycare, especially for an infant will take a large chunk out of one's weekly pay. Sometimes it just isn't worth it for both parents to work full time...

    What does your screen name mean?

    I'm missing the obvious which isn't unusual for me. Especially when it comes to internet abbreviations. Cheri had to explain rolfmao for me. Now when in doubt I consult the Urban Dictionary and become even more confused. I plugged f4f into the UB and came up with twitter stuff which didn't...
