    What Van For You?

    LDB, you say that vans will be logging in a year or two. Is this from a source or an opinion? I've heard nothing. It's my opinion that if it were going to happen it would have with the recent changes. I will be buying a van(or something) by the end of the year. If we are going to have to log...

    OOIDA

    I support OOIDA because they are the prominant voice for us in Washington. But it is tough to point at anything of significance they have acomplished for us.

    cargo van

    My E-350 came with Wrangler H/T's. I've stuck with them. I run 80psi all around, rotate every 40k and replace all 4 every 180-190k. I've gone to 200k but that was pushing it a bit. On the subject of a 6-banger, I've only met one guy that had one and when he got a new van he was ELATED to have a...

    What's The Best Solo Friendly Company

    There's a grain or two of truth in most stereotypes. Recruiters are no exception. Most are decent people, but the ones you should avoid are out there. This is from experience.

    Are you prepared?

    A great example of why witnesses will give conflicting accounts of an incident. In the few seconds it takes for something like this to happen we can observe and process only so much.

    Greg, a guess on the question. Could it be an expediter on day 3 of waiting for a load during the 1st quarter?

    Any air leak should be checked out. Minor leaks are'nt a big deal, but they sometimes become major leaks.

    log books

    It is my understanding that you only need whatever the most basic form of a chauffers license is in your state for a cargo van. You must upgrade to get Hazmat. Some carriers require a CDL.

    If Your Gonna Do This

    Sounds like your a political partyist to me. There must be a governmental agency that cracks down on this type of discrimination.

    hazmat

    While that is impressive turnaround for a government agency, they can't beat the draft board. (Yeah, I'm THAT old.) I had my draft card in 2 days!

    Thank You

    The auto companies outsource the vast majority of their logistics. In the case of expedited freight, National Logistics Management is one of the biggest players. If you have your own operating authority you have to deal with them. It's much easier for them to let a logistics company deal with...

    Super Bowl Sunday and the World

    When you leave the small core area of the stadiums, Greektown, ect., what do you have? Not much. I'm glad that the majority of the time I just drive through. A bummer for me is that after a 30-plus year run, the Supercross moves from the Silverdome to Ford Field. I've heard the stadium is...
