Con-Way Now had no fuel surcharge program in place in 1997. Sometime shortly after the turn of the century it was implemented along with the second rate increase. Con-Way's 3 LTL carriers had fuel surcharges as far back as the late 80's or early 90's as did most LTL carriers. In 1997 I was...

Or soccer balls.

I cut that one kinda close! Hope Karin had a nice birthday.

If I stay out of Montana in the winter my windshields tend to last a bit longer. They use a very coarse crushed rock, probably mine tailings.

Let me get my calculator. Umm, 23 and 24 minus 19 and 20, uh, ah 4 years! You and your brother have owned rental units for 4 years, you now own 7 units and you have $100,000 in cash saved up. Sounds good! I have never owned any rental units, but I have owned two houses, but not...

For all of Aristotle's captions.

I don't think I've ever gone 4 years without replacing a windshield. After 4 years, if it wasn't cracked and chipped, it would be too pitted to see through.

Jeez, I'm not that hard up yet for an extra buck or two. Why stop at renting the car, what about the house, the wife, the kids, grand kids, dog, lawn mower and snow blower. Hey how about an "all in" all inclusive, package deal.

I drive a van and get the cold shoulder treatment from T/T drivers, straight truck drivers ( with the exception of Cher and HighwayStar) and many van drivers. Maybe its just me! I've got to ask you why you wish to seek acknowledgment from T/T drivers?

My mistake! I didn't realize along with the rate change in post 9, the C Unit definition changed from 12' to 14'. Please quit with that "all in" crap! Sorry to unload on you. I believe this is the first time I've seen you use this term, but I'm sick of that term. It is way over used here...

Yeah, I should have stated that in the first post.

I guess the following proves your point!

A few years later the rates were increased as follows. I started out at 57½ percent of the published tariff and after 5 years got a raise to 59 percent. B Unit Cargo Van Minimum charge $127 1-99 miles $1.95/mi. 100-199 miles $1.83/mi. 200-299 miles $1.75/mi. 300+ miles $1.73/mi. C Unit 14"...

Scott you have keen eyes! Although Con-Way did offer an A rate, cargo wagon, I don't believe they ever had any leased on. I never saw one. The rate sheet is hard to read and since Scott didn't translate the rates for those of us with less than perfect eyesight, I will. B Unit Cargo Van...

Below is a rate sheet from 1997. .

I happen to agree with Leo. That should make his day. Over-powered radios walking all over everybody and bleeding across all 40 channels is just as rude as the straight pipes and jake brakes in a truck stop lot or the moron with the rap music cranked with full bass and the sheet metal is...

But its not yeller!

Here's one for you Kevmar. Its a Guy Clark song, Heavy Metal. Sorry, I couldn't find a video so you'll have to read the lyrics. Heavy Metal Some days I think this old machine is out to get me Some days she does what I tell her It's like dancing with a widow-maker forty hours a week You know...

That's pretty much my M.O. also, except I don't shave every morning and I don't comb my hairl
