How so? Pertaining to what or who in particular?

I know just enough about a lot of things to make me dangerous, including expediting. Especially expediting! To do this right I'm looking at a gut job. I think I'll wait till I get a new van. If I can just get one more winter out of this one. I'd be glad to help you mess up your van. If...

Nixon and crew are beginning to look like Boy Scouts compared to this administration. The biggest difference between the two is one was a crook and the other is the Messiah.

Knowing a bit of the history between the two of you, that's a great line!

Did their health club deal fall through?

I've got switches for lights, fan, Fantastic Vent cd/radio and power outlets. Behind the switches is a nest of wires, fuse blocks and Hellroaring isolator. Every year I think about rewiring this mess but figure one more winter and I'll buy a new van and do it right. This one more winter thing...

Then don't look at the pictures of my mess. The batteries are in black plastic battery boxes with tops and are located under my bunk.

Until a few month ago I used a 12 volt Igloo cooler and a 12 volt Kooltron cooler. The Igloo is larger and I kept that up front next to the driver's seat. The Kooltron stayed in back. When at home I did the bottled water freezer thing. I would put 4 frozen bottles in the Igloo along with any...

It probably is true that they are grossing more per month than you. It's not what you gross per month that counts, it's what you bank after all is accounted for. More miles at a lower rate still means more miles, more fuel, more wear and tear on your truck.

Yeah, two. Day Is Done and Puff The Magic Dragon.

340k, no reason you can't see another 340k out of it. Today's gasers are comparable to diesels as far as longevity goes.

More like 350+ virtual trucks. You do what you gotta do. We all try and do what is best for our own little operations. At least you aren't whining about it.

So you were once a smut peddler. A Canadien Larry Flynt.:D

A fair profit? Seriously?

You're one of them if you run at a reduced rate. If you don't like .70/mile, don't take the load. If you don't like Laredo, don't take the load. Start a grass roots movement, one van at a time.

Yeah, I think he had about 800,000 on it before he bought a truck and gave his van to his kid. I don't believe it made a million miles, but it was real close before they had to put a bullet in it.

No, you wouldn't love to see it. It's a mess. I've got two fans, lights, outlets, cd player and other stuff all wired to switches in a panel by my bed. This stuff got added to over the years and is WOFC! I really should completely rewire my van. I run a Hellroaring BIC-95150 B. This...

Re: 1st geo hall of fame memeber I might. Any dude with a nice truck that ran for president would probably get my vote. You would vote him into George's Hall of Fame because he had a nice truck. I wouldn't! Was Glen Rice the impetus that caused you to notice expediting? I can imagine...

Entering this business well capitalized and being in it for a few years helps one survive the slow periods. Its kinda like farming. Good years, bad years. We deal with many forces that we have no control over. Too bad the government doesn't subsidize expediters like they do farmers for...

Re: 1st geo hall of fame memeber Ah, the power of the media. One of the problems that plague our political process.
