    Where to go?

    The move to Albuquerque doesn't make sense to me either, but who am I to judge .... Especially since the Rib Hut has $1.25 brisket burritos on Sat .. :) Sent from my LG-P999 using EO Forums mobile app

    Sprinter service and repair. Greenville, SC

    This is my backyard. Always good to have someone else in the area that works on Sprinters. Going forward my Sprinter will be under the direct care of The Doctor. He'll be moving on down to South Cackalacky this year.

    North Dakota Oil

    I've been up in that area a few times. Been fortunate enough to get loaded out. Most recently in Dec, got loaded out of Saskatoon. It's slim pickings ... so for those that are prudent, get your DH $ out on the load going in. It really does feel like a wild west boomtown. Economics 101: Something...

    NEW Cargo Van O/O, Do not want to be taken advantage of!!

    I run with Indy companies and it seems to suit me well ... I like the folks I work with. In regards to deadhead, 3 points: 1) We use a general rule of thumb, get compensated for anything over 75 miles. 2) DH doesn't just factor into the pickup, be careful where your delivery is ... I've been...

    On the Bible and Obedience

    Wow ...... I can't believe my first post is concerning the Bible .... well here goes .... AMonger I understand the point you're trying to make, but I disagree with how you're trying to make it. The main point in the Book of Daniel is NOT disobedience. In my opinion, it IS about being obedient...
