Good luck!

Great news! It's about time the U.S. exported something to Mexico other than jobs. This should improve our trade deficit numbers.

JJ, if you are financially unprepared, wait until you have the money before starting out on any business venture. Again, if you are financially unprepared odds are you will get to see your very own company go belly up.

I've got a gps for that. It even has it's own little "Go Home" icon. Cargo Van Independent Contractors: -Needed for expedited operation. -Dedicated Lanes-Predictable Utilization. I see some stiff in operations: "I predict a 70% chance of utilizing any one specific van at least once a week or...

Would this include running in below zero temperatures, during the middle of the night, in rural Iowa with less than ⅛ of a tank of fuel? Welcome to the intermediate idiot years of your expedite apprenticeship. Rural Iowa? That's redundant and a waste of virtual ink.

There was a time when I would spend an extra 2-3 cents per gallon for good old 87 octane, alcohol free gasoline. The price difference between straight gas and 10% ethanol has become to great to offset the slightly higher mpg, provided you can even find non ethanol blended gasoline.

That's because you started with a Dodge van!

Zack, here's a link to a 2009 E.O. poll. While it doesn't answer your question, it does give you something to strive towards, "grizzled veteran." http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/35288-how-much-experience.html

Then a newbie is one who makes the same old stupid mistakes and an intermediate idiot makes new and different mistakes.

Zack, you asked for nice, I gave you nice. Now you are asking for specific, I'll give you specific: If you have to ask whether you are still a newbie or not, you're a newbie. Me, I'm sticking with intermediate idiot.

Conventional wisdom would say that applies everywhere. I was amazed that walleye would bite on minnows when all that hook free food was available. These fish were stuffed full of mayflies yet still had room for a minnow. It's all in the presentation! On Minnesota lakes the mayfly hatch only...

I've been doing this 14 years and like to think I have finally graduated from newbie to intermediate idiot.

There have been a few years where MNDOT used snowplows to clear mayflies from the Wakota Bridge, I-494 over the Mississippi near Stockman's Truck Stop. I had a great weekend of walleye fishing in northern Minnesota during a mayfly hatch. Every walleye we caught was full of mayflies yet they...

You've been in southern Louisiana too long, you.

Only if your version of reality conflicts with their version of reality.

Maybe GM realizes a problem with this particular pump but doesn't want to go public with it.

Good deal! I'm of the belief that the more fuel in the tank the more that fuel can absorb heat from the pump. A cooler running fuel pump is a happy fuel pump. And a happy fuel pump may outlive an unhappy fuel pump. I don't know if this is true but for me it's another reason to keep the fuel...

Lucas pumps on a Ford? A friend had an MGB and a Austin Healy Sprite. He hated Lucas parts. If you have ever had any experience with Lucas you may find the following link humorous:Lucas - Prince of Darkness - Lucas Electrical Humor Jokes

Last night I called Panther and got the typical:"your position in the queue is two. Average waiting time in the queue is two..minutes and forty..seconds." . I of course continued to hold. After about 7 minutes I heard this message: "we are unable to answer your call at this time. Press 1...
