If it is so slow why am I seeing *lots* of expediter trucks out there? Not looking to start any wars about slow vs. hot but man I am seeing a lot of hot freighters out there. In the last 4 days I have seen 5 FDCC, 3 P2 and a Landstar as well as 3 others I could not get a good enough look at to...

I was wondering if EO has a policy on photo sizes in the forums? Several times of late somebody has posted a photo in a huge format making it a for real PITA to read the subesquent posts in the thread due to having to scroll back and forth line by line. Limiting photo sizes to something like...

The floor in my Big B is starting to get crumbly for lack of a better word on the top. Everytime I have to drag a skid out I find more and more little dry splinters all over the place. The floor in my Morgan box is 1" Apitong and is laid in two pieces. Is there some sort of treatment I can put...

After all the good (not to mention important) discussion about costs on these here forums of late something mentioned twice recently caught my attention. This was the term 'working for the truck'. With tax time looming and much to-to about money/revenue/etc it seems to me this question is just...

After reading the thread about seats and knees I was wondering if anybody here who suffers from knee pain has a favorite remedy (creams/icee-hot pads/OTC pain meds/etc) they would share. Since I got into my new van my knees have been so much happier but after sitting for several hours they begin...

Husband comes home from work to find his wife packing her bags. "Where ya going?" he asks. "I hear that hookers in New York are making a thousand dollars a night" she says. He runs off and grabs his suitcase.... "Where do you think you're going?" she demands. "Well," he replies, "I just...

What is the per diem rate for the 2005 tax year? Also, what qualifies for use of this? I know if I am home or running local for the day I cannot claim the diem but if for example I go on a longer trip that takes me away for two days (overnight one night) can I deduct 2 days worth of diem or...

I have a run going into Kentucky tomorrow evening and after looking at mapquest it recommends using the Hal Rogers Parkway. Is this a truck restricted road? -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

I took a skid to Richmond, VA today. The forklift operator was very rough in getting the skid out of my truck and for lack of a better word 'rammed' my bumper hard at least three times before he got the darn skid off me. Any how I looked and didn't see any damage other than a scuff on the paint...

The husband comes into the bedroom and puts a glass of water and two asprin on the nightstand at his wife's side of the bed. What's this? She asks. I don't have a headache. A big smile slowly spreads across his face..... -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

Well I just last night got back home from a run to the Detroit area. I am presently leased to Dynamex in Baltimore and they could not find me *anything* in the way of a back haul. So I am wondering what if any options I would have to find a return load. Does anybody 'trip lease' freight these...

I am planning to sell the house and pull up stakes this spring and am looking at Dayton Ohio as a new area to live in. Is this a good spot to have as a home plate? Not sure if I will be chasing the freight with one of the big expedite carriers or not but ya never know. -- Mike N

So those of you out there with either the Express or Savana with gas engine what is your average fuel mileage? -- Mike N

Was looking in the Washington Post a week or so ago and saw a Panther II ad under 'drivers' in the employment section. You guys got some local gig out here in the east going on or just covering all your recruiting bases? Curious as I live in the MD suburbs of Washington and am looking to move...

I am having a water problem with the Morgan box on my GMC. It is getting wet around the wheel well boxes and allowing some of my cargo to get wet. I need to fix this ASAP. I was wondering what would be the best way to approach this. I was thinking of silcone sealant around the top and bottom od...

So after seeing the thread on diesel additives are there any favorites among those of us burning unleaded gas? Whatcha got? -- Mike N

Well I finally got out of my trusty old Astro and bought a nice used 2001 Savana 3500 with a 10' cube. Wow what a difference. I am happy. http://www2.twmaster.com/truck/DSCN9408.JPG Now to get some E-track installed. As soon as dispatch found out I had this bigger ride they sure put it to...

I just purchased a nice used GMC 3500 with a 10' Morgan FRP body and need to install some cargo management equipment. I would like to install E-Track both close to the floor (per another post here on EO) and just under the existing tie-off rail. Since the body is fiberglass reinforced plywood...
