As a diabetic, I find this article VERY interesting: Weight loss surgery may cure diabetes in many cases | Reuters This could have a significant effect on not only expediting, but trucking as a whole. What do y'all think?

In your childhood you want to spend your birthday in a toy store; in your teens it's the mall. In your 20's you want to spend it in a bar, in your 30's the place to go is a nice restaurant. Once you hit 40, there's one place you really want to spend your birthday: alone with the one you love....

Not if they're filled with nitrogen....

Phil made that very point in today's blog post. He also stated that it was no longer a question of IF he and Diane were leaving FECC, but when. I wish them best of luck :)

So cool I made it my desktop wallpaper :)

What is it about firstborns, that they need to do this? My son did the same thing, they even had to assist his breathing for 30 seconds! And I, being an EMT, knew exactly what they were doing, so I was scared spitless! Thank God, 24 years later, all is well. I do think, however, that firstborns...

Supposedly most of the phone calls, etc. come early in the game, when your authority is still in process and you can't run yet. Is that true? I changed my voicemail greeting to inform callers that I do not accept incoming solicitations for insurance, IFTA, etc. When I get a call from a number I...

What a fun post to read! I grew up in that area, have been to the dealership in question to gawk at the shiny red cars several times, and I can imagine the fun Mr. Baker must have had on the twisty two-lanes between Rosemont and the PA turnpike entrance he would eventually have used to head...

I noticed that within the last couple years that Ford was rating so-called half-tons at really high GVWs, such as 8500 for the E150, 9000 for the 250, and 9500 for the 350 (Numbers approximate). I think that's to get the 150 out of the range of being counted as a passenger car for the CAFE...

According to Wikipedia, it's a village of 104 people, so a trip thru would be a quickie for sure.

"Dodge missed the boat they could have put their Cummins diesel in a van(that was a inline six I think) Old Dodge vans" If they had, the doghouse would have been 18" longer. The 360 in my old 99 came almost to the end of the inside of the doghouse. If it weren't for the huge redesign costs...

UPDATE: The beginning of this project has been pushed back one week to the 4th of August. Local police departments complained that they weren't given sufficient time to prepare for the huge influx of traffic onto local roads. I am not sure whether the Westbound closures will start on the 4th as...

A look at the specs will confirm that this is no Sprinter-killer. From the Australian website, I've learned that this van has a gross weight of 7040 lbs, the choice of two 4-bangers (gas, 151 hp/177 lb/ft torque; diesel, 109hp/ 191 lb/ft torque), 346 cu.ft. of cargo volume with a 135" floor and...

>You will have better oppotunities to sign onto this business by getting a CDL, it's not that difficult and it's a good first step to demonstrating your professionalism as a commercial driver.< That's what I figured; add Haz and Pass, and that would be a good start towards getting experience...

Hello all! I asked this question about a month ago in the Ask the Recruiter forum, but didn't get any replies, so I'll ask here. "I am considering getting into expediting. ... I have ... a 1999 Dodge B3500 van ... in very good shape. However, it has a couple minor problems: one is that the...

I am considering getting into expediting. For a year I have been doing a dedicated run from PA to NYC 3 or 4 times a week, and am ready to expand my horizons. Several questions arise, particularly about my truck. It's a 1999 Dodge B3500 van with 208K on the clock, a fresh Jasper transmission...
