Psychologically the consumer is supposed to believe that fuel at $3.99⁹ is a much better deal than fuel priced at $4.00/gallon.

I'm one that would disagree with you and favor Leo's position. It really doesn't matter what you, me or Leo thinks. The important thing is for the driver and owner to agree on specific terms and get it in writing before an extra pay situation arises.

Dolphin, would you share some of your experiences as a newbie to expediting? Newbies often seek advice from the experts, but some of the experts are so old and grizzled they can't remember the name of their carrier if it wasn't plastered on the side of their truck. I know of one grizzled old...

There you go, you get 100%. Now all you need to know is 100% of what.

I believe Brisco's point was that it is not only the general population that will over load a van (20 people) but expediters as well. If we could get President Obama to examine highway safety and ban the van, tragedies like this wouldn't happen.

Willlburrr, scratch my back please.

Exactly, and what many call gelling is actually waxing, since diesel contains paraffins. Does anybody run fuel/water separators on their trucks? Just about every fleet truck I ever drove had a fuel/water separator. Some were heated. Once a day drain off the water and a little bit of fuel...

You could call Driver Relations. They may change it from a Refusal to a Service Failure, if that's what you want. Of course you could end up getting dinged with both a Refusal and a Service Failure.

I go to where my best chances of getting load are. This of course is depends on who your carrier is. My first carrier had terminals in Des Plaines and Aurora which yielded some freight of their own, plus swaps. I found the TA in Hampshire to be a good place to sit. I was close to our...

The first thing you should do is find a carrier to lease on with, then look for a van that meets the criteria of the carrier and the job.

Fixed it for you.

I believe Bud Sleazig also blamed Giamatti's hemorrhoids on George Brett. Good thing Sleazig is a perfect asswhole.

Also, both the regular length body and the extended body come on a 138" wheelbase.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/03/nyregion/putnam-officials-keep-gun-permit-records-from-journal-news.html?_r=0 Here's another bit of gun control irony. After publishing the locations of all registered handguns in a 3 county area of New York, Janet Hasson President of The Journal News hired...

Add to that list the Kennedys, Byrds and Dingells, then think of the millions of dollars in pensions, etc. these selfless public servants have saved the American taxpayer because they held their seats for 40 to 60 years reducing the total number of pension eligible congress by their lengthy...

Excellent! Thank you Moose.

I'm not Lisa My name is Dani Lisa left us, years ago. Apologies to Dani and Jessi Colter.

Sounds like you are doing the CNH thing. Where are you entering Canada, Emerson or North Portal?

Thanks Scott! I'm disappointed with the "long" wheelbase option of only 148". I was hoping for 155" to 160", preferable 160". As for the inside height, I could live with 72", would prefer 74" to 76" and can't figure out the specs for the high roof. In the main body of the article it states...

Thank you Turtle for that glowing testimonial! Can I use you for a reference on my next job application? I like being considered an above average dumb-as-a-brick moron van driver.:rolleyes:
