A thought just occurred to me. I have always lived close to the Mississippi. I was born in Fairview Hospital in Minneapolis on the banks of the Mississippi. I grew up in south Minneapolis, about 5 miles from The River. I lived in St. Cloud for 10 years on one side of the river or the other...

Bill lives on the RIGHT side of the river. So do I, by about 3 miles.

I've been in trucking most of my adult life. I started out driving tractor/trailers pulling dry vans, pulp log trailers, grain trailers, container/pigs and doubles. After years of hard work, gaining knowledge and experience, I made the logical career advancement to expediting. My...

...said the neighbor on my left about the neighbor on my right.

Your agent may be unaware that State Farm doesn't cover vehicles involved in interstate transportation. Presenting your agent with your prepared document should raise a red flag, unless he/she is a moron. If the agent does sign your document, make sure you haven't signed/purchased a rider of...

What Ekhedge said. I've got a Chevy with much smaller windows than the Transit. I used dark limo tint on the glass. I then cut two pieces of 1" styrofoam board and glued reflectix to the side facing the glass. My windows are hinged so the styrofoam boards are held by small bungee cords that...

Explain the string pulling thing. You are insuring a cargo van, right?

I have been insured with State Farm since I started driving at age 15. My parents had State Farm insurance. Our house and both cars are insured by State Farm but not my van. When I bought my first van for expediting I contacted my agent about insurance. I was told that because of the amount...

Good info Leo! What you posted are actually safety rules and not laws. The NRA rule #3 seems to be a odds with the topic of this thread though. http://sc-ems.com/preparedness/Weapons/NRA%20Gun%20Safety/NRASafety.pdf

♥like? I think?

Oooh, a whole lotta incomprehension goin' here. I will walk you through how I reached my decision to my reply (post#2) to the original post. I was scrolling through E.O. threads when I came upon this thread title: Target rich environment. I wasn't sure what a target rich environment was, so...

Re: Forget I bothered Truck Stop Restaurants by greasytshirt This made me laugh.

Thanks DST! Could you share some more info with us? Is this the Unicel CW body? 12 or 14 footer? What engine and rear axle ratio? Roll-up or full swing doors? Did you spec the chassis and box or buy as is? Is there anything you would change if you could? What was the empty weight before...

Using that logic, the whole article posted is irrelevant because we don't know who wrote it or their level of experience and knowledge of the subject matter. Someone at least had the good sense to not take ownership of this turd journalism. That is certainly a possibility. The more I think...

Same applies to pickups at LTL carriers. Having a pro number certainly helps!

Somethings to ask yourself before buying any van or Sprinter: What if the income isn't what I expected. Can I unload this van or Sprinter without taking a significant financial hit? What if the lifestyle isn't what I expected. Can I unload this van or Sprinter without taking a significant...

Cheri, read the comments at the bottom of the OP's link.These people walk among us, packing. Great ammunition for the anti-gun groups. The following is one of my favs: They should be sued for large sums of money for violation of the constitutionally protected civil right to carry firearms...

Has the Des Plaines Oasis been demo'ed yet? Some how the Elgin-O'Hare Expressway is going to connect with I-90 and I-294 somewhere in that vicinity.

You need to upgrade your maps. Even a map upgrade probably won't help at O'Hare. Irving Park Road has been re-routed and some of the intersections have changed. Last time I was there I followed my GPS instructions to some buildings on the south side of Irving Park Road, even though I knew...

Tell that to Harry Whittington!
