    Handicapped drivers

    I've seen people who have visible handicaps doing this job and I have no problem as long as they can be safe behind the wheel. The problem I have are the people like the guy I went through orientation at TST with. He stayed at the same motel I did and we left at the same time in the morning...

    You have clearly back-pedaled here Raceman. You've gone from saying we gouge people that need the service we provide to saying it's worth the money. Also, the simple act of relocating the freight is not the same as it is in truckload or LTL. They don't have to get up in the middle of the night...

    Canada What's up with the new forum?

    Don't get me wrong, I like Canada. I miss breakfast and 12oz N.Y. strips for dinner at Billies on Dixie Rd. in Mississauga, north of the 401, 2 doors past the Husky. (How's that for a plug?) It's just the actual crossing part...

    Canada What's up with the new forum?

    That's what I thought when I saw it, but still a good addition. Since the first of the year I don't have to cross and, quite frankly, there's not much I miss about it.

    We offer a different service than truckload or LTL companies. When a company ships something for less than they can with us, they do it on the terms of the trucking company. With us, they get service tailored to their needs. They could have a truck at their dock within an hour, possibly less...

    Insurance

    I'd get another opinion on this because it really does'nt make sense. This situation would a bad position for an insurance company to put themselves in. You buy a POS for 5k and insure it for 40k. A lot of people would be tempted to take a crack at insurance fraud for 35k in their pocket. If you...

    Where Are Van Drivers

    I'm with those who say that there really isn't enough money in a van to support a driver and make what's left worth an owners time and investment. The talk of the demise of the B-unit has been going on since I've been in the business, along with the log requirement being imposed. Now, it's the...

    INFO ON DUI

    M A, a few with dinner and a short drive home is a responsible way to behave. You would have no problem driving in a competent manner and if you were to blow for a cop your numbers would be acceptable. It's those that are'nt that responsible that are a problem.

    One to sing loud (& off key)

    The burning question here is, how many margaritas will it take to get Cheri to sing. I'll make the first run to the store at the Expo.

    Daughters and Dads things to do

    I guess there was no real loser in that game. Unless you like a lot of onion and garlic on your burgers.

    It's just frustrating to be gouged for something we need. If the rise in price kept the status quo for profits you could understand it. When the rise in price produces record profits you just feel gouged.

    Expediters Hall of Fame

    Maybe exclusive use and schedule set by customer should be qualified or have an asterisk. Exclusive use isn't always needed to meet a time definate need. Customers can sometimes get a bit unrealistic with the times they need. They need to understand that we can't be putting ourselves at risk for...

    Canada Canada Truck Governors

    I think the "all trucks operating in Canada" part of this is going to be a very hard sell. Someone that runs out west is not going to want to castrate their truck that heavily.

    How stupid can parents be

    I've seen drivers with their left foot on the dash and reclined in the seat. It's a car, not the lazy boy in front of the tube.
