    It's Sad What Happened at FedEx CC

    I guess in this post 9/11 world the bag had to go. Maybe you could bring it out for Halloween.

    It's Sad What Happened at FedEx CC

    Is that why your old avatar was a picture of you wearing a paper bag over your head?

    Hello just another newbie

    What they said and don't buy a 2500 series. Get an extended 3500 for this business.

    Buying a good used tractor and having the frame stretched, if done right, is another option. Or just buy a tractor and do the T/T expedite thing.

    For durability and better warranty coverage a class 8 is made for the long haul. Research this forum and I think you will find most would recommend a class 8 truck. Get a 10 liter in the 350 hp range. p.s. milk hauler?

    Don't buy a truck for sentimental reasons unless it will only be used for Sunday afternoon drives. A truck is a business tool and it's purchase should be well researched. Dig around here and you will find most members suggest a class 8 truck for expediting. A private carrier gig is rare these...

    Lifetime alignment

    The skeptic in me prevents me from hooking up with one of these national chain outfits and their lifetime alignment programs. P.T. Barnum's famous quote comes to mind.

    More value than just a truck…

    I'm with Phil on the "enjoying the simple life". I'm content with driving my little van around and with the money and freedom it offers me. (insert famous DaveKC quote here)

    What's Going On At Panther???

    Armin, if you were the holder of a Panther Precious Metal Priority Card you would have much quicker phone access to Panther Personnel. Even a measly Bronze membership would give you Bronze Priority. Of course the catch is that you must be leased to Panther to start earning your reward points in...

    Islamist cleric Anwar al-Awlaki killed in Yemen

    That's exactly how it played out, well except for the capture and trial part. In your scenario the end result is execution. You make mention of a trial but nothing about finding the poor slob guilty or not. So what is the difference other than saving a few bucks and some time? Like...

    Genius .... and Boobus .....

    That is exactly why the two-party system rules and always will as long as people buy into the notion that a vote for a 3rd party candidate is a wasted vote. Create your own reality and vote for a candidate you most believe in! You are only wasting your vote if you follow the lead of some...

    Little boy buying a doll for his sister

    A song made popular by Nina Simone and made even more popular by the Animals comes to mind in regards to my post and your "Like". Oh well, I tried.

    Cube Van MPG

    The problem with a DRW cube van, at least from a fuel economy perspective is, not only do you have two more tires adding rolling resistance, the box is 6 to 8 inches wider than a SRW cube which greatly increases drag. I would add a cab roof fairing first while further investigating the rear...

    Cube Van MPG

    Is the cube van in question a single rear wheel or dual rear wheel set-up? Don't you love a person that answers a question with a question? Ooh, that was two questions! Check with some cube van box manufacturers like Supreme, Baybridge or Rockport. They all put cab top fairings on their...

    Genius .... and Boobus .....

    When Ron Paul ran as an independent people bought into the idea that voting for a 3rd party candidate was a wasted vote. Now that he is running as a republican people are buying into "he's too old" line of crap. If you believe in the man and his platform, support him! Don't be swayed by media...

    Little boy buying a doll for his sister

    Then I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. Conflicting facts. It seems the media is always out to get the trucker. Too bad your local newspaper altered the story ever so...
