Thanks Amos for asking. Yesterday, I posted this under a thread started by Highway Star so I reckon it's appropriate to repost here. Thanks so much for the support, without which we could not have endured the news we just received this morning. Rene' has developed a kidney infection and the...

Congrats on the successful follow-thru on your situation. Your experience proves the desirability of a written contract over a hand-shake deal. Concur with the Col.; when the facts are accurate as best you know them to be, names are appropriate so that other members can make informed choices.

RE: Happy St. Patty's Day everyone. And, be sure.. Kim: Thanks so much for the support, without which we could not have endured the news we just received this morning. Rene' has developed a kidney infection and the surgeon has rescheduled her operation for Monday, the 27th, so now we have...

Congratulations Diver, it doesn't take much to realize how right you are if you can swing the buy-in expense and you've decided that this expediting thing is your calling. No owner is going to get rich on the return of investment he realizes from one truck, but as an O/O you get the added...

Thanx for the thanx. These zerks cleared up our rusty hinge problem. A warning to those of you who expedite too fast, you'll blow the letters right off your signage.

Here is a link that all transporters of hazmat, or persons who may be involved in or witness to a hazmat spill should be aware. The National Response Center is a 24/7 operation staffed by US Coast Guard personnel. It is the sole national point of contact for reporting all oil, chemical...

We have enjoyed a good working relationship with many hundreds of expediters over the years and have had close personal relationships with many, many folks, on and off ExpeditersOnline. But, now we're not surprised, but overwhelmed at being the beneficiary of so much love, so many positive...

Whitehouse Employee Builds Alternative Fuel Vehicle Volkswagen Passat Now Runs on Corn Oil Mark Seltzer, application services associate, IS, was an avid environmentalist looking for an immediate alternative to conventional fuel. The solution – converting his Volkswagen Passat to run on a...

I think the best help you can give the homeless appearing family in an auto would be to either help them get to a church or other social agency willing and capable of giving them long lasting help and support, or getting a social helper to the family. Most every truck stop has a ministry phone...

A 4 d-cell Maglite would help you see in the dark. If you think that maybe you might possibly be alergic to bee stings, that wasp and hornet spray will shoot about 20 feet. A tire thumper might be better than a bat or other implement not normally found in a truck.

The worst of the panhandlers are those that put on a ball cap with an expedite carrier logo and seek out drivers from that company to bum a few bucks til they get a run and an advance. Thinking they are family, of sorts, it's easier to help them than send them away. I haven't been stung by...

Roly & Bigg: Ateam and KW hit the nail on the head. I have often used the sports team/expedite carrier analogy many times, particularly in the early days of expediting. The driver who left our company always said he made the right move, even when nothing materially changed or his condition...

Thanx Dawggone. we finally got a knowledgeable reference with a name. The ambiguous laws of Michigan notwithstanding, it only takes one MSP Officer to make the necessity of entering Michigan scales a reality worth heeding to avoid the potential of a ticket. Thnaks to you and Late For Lunch...

My bride of 31 years is having a tough emotional time in her life as she strugggles with the recent surprise of a diagnosis of cancer. We've seen several physicians, oncologists and a surgeon, have had numerous tests, one exploritory surgery and she is now facing a major surgery next friday, St...

Tom: Some put lot's of info in their sig line and others choose not to do so. I notice you don't, perhaps for the same reason as many others. I think many folks are on-line infophobic due to all of the negative stories about invasions of privacy by on-line crooks or pleasure seekers. Perhaps...

One of the better expedite carriers with which you will do well on the east coast, in any size truck. That's my opinion and that's the truth.

Your payload capacity is less than 3700 pounds minus any added weight other than a driver and a full fuel tank. I suspect any additional revenue you might get for carrying more weight than design specifications allow would be offset by repair costs. Try advertising your eqpt in the free...

Capt: I don't like E-Track on the floor, but many others do like it there. It's always dirty in the slots and I'd worry about an errant skid nail or the broken leg of a 1500# metal tub fetching up in on of the slots too far forwad for a towmotor to reach. If you must, consider 1/2 inch...
