It sounds like you have some time on your hands, Bryan. You should get to work on my benefit party. C'mon, the Stones and Famous Dave's BBQ? It'll be a blast!

Yes, I do. That's why I said it. Duh... Instead of responding with a rhetorical question that you think makes me look silly, (you seem to be doing a lot of that sort of thing), tell me why I shouldn't believe it.

A happy holiday to you as well. You've touched on one of the problems with being in a cargo van. Vans loads will sometimes be offered to straight trucks. It may be at the request of the shipper or consignee, or it may be so the company can move a straight truck, a truck that is more valuable to...

I don't see Greg as being pro-elite. But, speaking for myself, my working class status goes very well with conservative views. I'm very proud that I provided for my family. Why would a worker bee like me need the government? I don't think I've worked for many "elite" people. The 2 months I...

..."hey guys, these Fudds are nothing but a bunch of girlie-men. He's already given up the rest of the gang. He told me where Doug is and where their headquarters is. Let's go get 'em!" Wellarmed throws the Fudd out of the truck and heads out to save Doug. They find Doug wandering around...

Could you explain how Greg's views are against his own best interests?

Does the UNIX Kernel repeatedly tell the other operating systems how lazy they are and how their "don't wannas" get in the way? (rim shot) I crack myself up... I like my son's Apple, nice machine. He does concede that the freedom from viruses won't last forever. Thanks Turtle.

(The following question is from a Windows user that doesn't know a lot about computers. Please respond to his question as gently as possible.) As the price of Macs come down and they become more common, won't they end up with a lot of the same problems Windows? Viruses and that sort of thing...

Gotta Go, I really think your getting a bit OCD about these Airtabs. You may want to consider a 12 step program. I'd just like to see you get a handle on it before you end up on the floor, curled up in the fetal position and begging for more Airtabs.

The discouraging threads you see here lately are due to the economy. While there are expediters that discourage people in general, that isn't what you see here. In good times, newbies are welcomed into the business. Of course, most of us will give them a complete picture of the biz that includes...

Wellarmed grabs him by the shirt with both hands and pulls him into the truck. "We're on to your scam, douche bag. You mess with Doug, you mess with all of us." Wellarmed suddenly stops, realizing he smells something. The guy crapped himself. Wellarmed starts laughing and gets on the CB to tell...

If that's the case, why spend so much time here? Why do we have a soapbox in the first place?

Tiger just said that he's happy with the way he hit the ball today. Does that smooth out any racial tension? Oh... Wait a minute... The ball's white. Never mind.

True, but last I heard, he's in prison.

Lots of time to post lately. Lots of time...

What a tragedy. My deepest condolences to the family.

That's ridiculous. It just doesn't work that way. O.K. Nightranger, you want numbers. I'm gonna throw myself under the bus here. My fellow EOers may want to throw me a benefit after this. I'd like the Rolling Stones to play and have it catered by Famous Daves. O.K., here goes... I grossed...

Dang!! I missed the "be very careful" thread. I bet it was really, really comical!

That's the important question. Why the concern with "actual numbers"? As you've seen from a couple of replies here, numbers can be all over the place. A lot of experienced expediters, myself included, are advising newbs to wait. I think that's the wise thing to do. Edit: I just saw another...

I also read the deleted post, and much of it focused on contracts being canceled in this slow period. That's nothing new. In fact, it really makes sense. This is a good time to rid the fleet of under performers, or contractors that are difficult to work with. It's even going on at the very, very...
