Back to the subject of E-track; Tech, what make of van do you have? If you have a stock Ford or Chevy get rid of the rubber mat. Floor insulation is a good thing but it also reduces your door height, which is a bad thing! With vans often it comes down to give and take. In the case of a stock...

Never even thought about it? Not even in your dreams? I'm sure at some point in your expedite career you awoke in the morning and realized you had a pretty good dream going. At first you thought the dream was about ... Then you realized the dream was really about owning and driving a van...

You missed two key words in my original post; had and former.

John, I admire what you have done and have never heard a negative word about you or your company. And while a company is what it is, change is inevitable. Ask any former Roberts, Con-Way or early Panther contractor about change. As your company grows, you as owner will need to hire more...

You may have read that on this very E.O. forum. I am one of the people who have it "backwards" and have posted my thoughts about this more than a few times. If you want to act and be treated like an employee that's fine. I do find it funny that you claim I have it backwards though! I had a...

It's the tremendous growth that eventually turns the best company into a monstrous meat grinder.

Yeah, Happy 4th! .

Happy Fourth Of July! . .

Thanksgiving? We still have Labor Day, Columbus Day, Yom Kippur, Halloween, Veterens Day, and Cheri's birthday to plan for.

And exactly why didn't you get the message? I guess I didn't get the message either. But I did get a really cool QC message and E-mail from some dude at Panther that mentioned something about the price of fuel at TA's and then quoted a piece Ronald Reagan wrote in 1981 entitled: What July...

FRIVOLOUS POST? FRIVOLOUS POST! WHAT IN THE SAM FREAKING HILL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! I'M TRYING TO OFFER UP A SIMPLE AND INEXPENSIVE WAY TO CELEBRATE OUR COUNTRY'S INDEPENDENCE DAY. Uh, sorry. I jumped the gun. I should have read your entire post before blasting you. Yeah, I guess I'm a...

Greetings and happy Independence Day gentle readers. Whether you are entertaining fellow expediters at a liftgate party, having a picnic lunch at a rest area, sitting in your van at a truck stop or sharing a bottle of wine with friends under a freeway overpass, beautiful homemade table...

Yeah, I was guessing about 75 pounds apiece for a tire and wheel.

Now you have! .

I'm guessing the DRW will add at least 150 pounds to the curb weight. So the net gain in weight capacity would be about 250 pounds over the standard 9600 GVWR. You would be gaining about 20" in width though. The extra width and 2 extra tires will reduce fuel mileage and increase maintenance...

I'M HAPPY! I'm also old! I'm home; my daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter spent two days and a night with us. I've got some time off, and while I'm not getting paid, I'm still F'in HAPPY!

I know you are being flippant but I think living in South Dakota where honesty isn't as rare...maybe you aren't quite as apathetic or jaded as other Americans. I would consider moving slightly west if my wife didn't have a good job and I wasn't further removed from abundant sources of water...

Congratulations Hoser you found one! It would be nice if the Duramax came with a couple of cylinders lopped off. I think a V-6 version would offer plenty of torque and horse power for the needs of expediters. Where did you find the air deflector and how difficult are they to install?

There seems to be a rumor floating around that the Minnesota government shut down. Governor Mark Dayton stated in a televised gubernatorial debate that if elected he would not allow a shut down of state government. YouTube - ‪Full Context of Mark Dayton Debate Oct 24th 2010‬‏

I apologize if my post may have disparaged the reputation of Canadian journalist Peter Gorrie. As you pointed out it was especially thoughtless of me to do so on Canada Day of all days! It is no longer Canada Day so: Hockey hockey sticks and pucks I still think Gorrie sucks!
