    The dog days of summer: AUGUST!

    Its hot freight until you get there and they don't start unloading until 08:00 and you are the 7th van in line.

    Hilary's speaking requirements

    Public colleges and universities usually fund speaking engagements, concerts, art shows and other live performances with "activity fees" that are part of a student's tuition. A select board of students or members of the student government decide on how and where these activity fees are spent.

    Hilary's speaking requirements

    Hilary really can't be faulted for the morons at colleges and corporations that are willing to meet her demands for a speaking engagement. Pilgrim has a valid point though, she should be reimbursing the American taxpayer for her purely for profit speaking trips. As for the chartered...

    Driver shortage

    So it will take a true driver shortage to occur before shippers change their policy to "if it fits on one truck, ship it on one truck"? Is this a great country or what! America, land of excess. What next, turning food (corn and soybeans) into fuel? Wireless phones and remote controls are...

    Driver shortage

    There has been a driver shortage for as long as I can remember. Um, let me rephrase that. There has been a driver shortage for longer than I can remember. If there truly was a driver shortage, driver pay would increase to attract more people to the profession or companies would have to resort...

    Air ride seat for sprinters

    Okay, I thought about it, more than once. Your statement above makes no sense to me. I have never driven a Sprinter so I don't know how they ride. Apparently the Pro Masters ride rough and at least one E.O. member is going to an air-ride seat. If you feel the need for an air-ride seat, go...

    LOS SCRUBBERS CONS

    Turkey Point, just south of Miami. I delivered there when I was with Con-Way. Nice load. It picked up in northern Minnesota in the dead of winter. I met Arlent on that trip fueling at the J south of one Beloit and east of another Beloit.

    LOS SCRUBBERS CONS

    I delivered in Beulah, ND this morning. Since I was in the neighbor I thought I would swing by the Basin Electric Leland Olds Station for old time sake. It has been almost 7 years and 6000 cups of coffee since my original visit. The place looked different. I guess the passing of time...

    The school solution

    I'm still pretty sure having armed eagles at every school entrance is the solution. Umm, what was the problem.

    How much to save for taxes

    Why not use the IRS calculator I linked earlier in this thread? There are so many variables it is difficult to give you an amount. For your first year much of it will be guess work. How much do you expect to gross? How many days (per diem) do you expect to be out this year? What other tax...

    How Not to Treat a Prospective Driver

    If a Chrysler dock door fell on my head I wouldn't be looking to drive a van for a fleet owner. I'd own a fleet of Pro Masters. I would remove the driver's seat in my current van and convert it into an office chair. It would be reupholstered in Corinthian leather with urethane wheels and gold...
