You're welcome! I assume your interest stems from owning a Sprinter and a slopbucket gasser. Another way to look at these numbers is the gasser at 16 mpg would cost .20/mi. while the Sprinter at 22 mpg would cost .16/mi.

I was hoping someone would crunch the numbers I provided in post #9, ummmm, Scott. Oh, I forgot, he's lazy. I went back to 2008 up to yesterday and here are the results per year for the average price of gasoline vs. diesel fuel. GASOLINE--DIESEL 2008...

Here is a 10 year history for gas prices and diesel prices: US Retail Gas Price US Retail Diesel Price Chart

Hey what do I know? The Wizard of Oz and Sister Act are movies and movies aren't real. The "head" is from a television show and television isn't real and we are discussing this on the Internet and I'm pretty sure the Internet isn't real.

When you charge your house battery do you use the 12 volt power source on the Honda or run a 110v battery charger?

Why doesn't your "bigger picture and longer time frame" include the fact that the largest expedite carrier at the time was a subsidiary of a large LTL carrier? An expedite company that went by the name of Roberts Express was once a subsidiary of Roadway Services. Also during that time frame...

And a poke in the eye is better when compared to a poke in both eyes. I'm guessing now also, but my guess would be O/Os are less transient than company drivers. It costs an O/O money to pick up and move to another carrier. Why thank you, but it was intended to be a rhetorical question. I...

Not bad compared to what? I believe Landstar's TL divisions are 100% O/O and fleet owners. 30% turnover looks good next to an industry wide average of 90%. But, no distinction was made between O/O carriers and carriers with mostly company drivers like Swift. How does 30% turnover compare to...

Movies are reel.

Movies aren't real.

Two more words...COW MAGNETS.

Has anyone here ever seen an overweight UPS package car driver? I mean even slightly overweight.

As a Panther vanner I hope ABF terminals are available to us for swapping loads. I've run into too many problems with some of these towing outfits wanting to get paid. Does anyone know if ABF still operates a break-bulk off U.S. 30, just east of Ill. 394? ABF, Roadway and one other LTL were...

Dart Transit is using CNG tractors to run between Bayport, MN and Menomonie, WI. as mentioned in this article: Business I have also seen these tractors running in and out of the Target distribution center in Fridley, MN.

With just a little bit of tweaking we can turn your quote into a genuine IBT press release: ABF possibly putting LTL loads on Panther trucks meaning shorter miles for our union members.
