Larry, you make some very good points, some I'm sure other expediters are concerned about as well. I agree with you, but might add - I'm not sure we would see a price or freight implosion. That is, freight dry up, or rates completely go down the pooper. And I guess I look at history for my...

Great post, Phil. Anyone that has had anything to do with sales in any way has somewhere along the line heard 'If you're selling on price, someone is always going to out bid you, you're going to lose your customer'. You have to sell the value and benefits, and not be scared to ask for what it's...

I wonder if the fuel in the area you're talking about just isn't as refined as at other locations. I've only seen cetane ratings on a few pumps, how do we know we're not paying a nickle more a gallon (let's say) for fuel that is a lower cetane? When I used to fill my E350 Extended Ford Van with...

We're with Leo. We run Power Server Cetane Boost in our Cummins and notice 2-3 MPG difference in some rare occassions. It's the Power Service in the silver bottle, not the white. And use the one large bottle at about every fill-up. I know I didn't believe the MPG increase either but Donna was...

Hey Raceman, What's your opinion of the shine on the grill? We've thought about one but it appears more satin than chrome.

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would...

We agree!! We grab a bottle every time the truck comes out of the shop with paw-prints all over it. It really works at getting grease out of the old paint pores on older, less waxed vehicles. Hard to believe it's at the dollar store! Their marketing plan must of really failed. The Gibster

Has anyone ever tried to reupholester the reclining bench seat in the AA Sleeper 96" incher? Can the seat be replaced with something from an RV application? And can you even get the whole thing out of the doors without taking the sleeper off the frame? All thoughts/info welcome! The Gibster

Kraig, we had ours recently done at Piedmont Peterbilt in Greensboro for $150. They advised us about 100,000 miles (+-) after the reman. The other posts are accurate, depending on who you ask, it's 'around . . .', or 'about every . . .'. The Gibster

One week in Portland Or, but it was thanksgiving week. The next year (same carrier) one week in Sacremento. We called, they moved us to Salt Lake City for 4 more days. Then .20/mile to move to Minn/St Paul. ... we're no longer with that carrier. The Gibster

Have been using them since Oct of last year and like them alot. The fuel savings has been hard to track, we installed rear centramatics, new rear shocks and new steers at the same time. We also went into winter diesel and Howes about the same time. I find that if I get a little fuel savings...

Terry, You know all of us would miss you both but if you decided to hang up your keys and start a Cancer Survivor Support Center, just think of all those who would be as blessed by knowing you as we have been. What an inspiration! .

Everytime I look in the mirrors and see an LED blink twice and then go out, or have to repair a headlight in a blizzard, or roll it into the shop Donna and I immediately remind each other - we put 12 to 16 THOUSAND miles on this truck a month. Most folks don't put that on their cars in a year...

Not to be personal, but can you give a BALLPARK figure of what the repairs to the box came in at?

LMAO!! I did that in one Hood area and blew my Hooterflapper Valve right out of it! Had to get out my left-handed spangley wrench out to fix it. Painted myself 50' of flightline and zoomed outta there. That was close! Try putting about a quart of straight ammonia in it from a grocery store . ...

Stand tall Terry, this thing is beatable. Salute to you, cards on the way for Rene. Gib and Donna

CaptMike, when you figure this one out please, please post your results. There has been many posts of late that discuss different GPS units, and after all of them I'm still scatching my head! Check the archives. I got a Cobra 1000DLS handheld for christmas to use on our acreage, with intents of...

And don't forget about the 'disinformation' or 'misinformation' that we hear on the tv and radio - it may make your jaw drop or anger you. The publishers and creators of the story or so-called event are testing the waters to see how it will play out with the voters. In other words not only do...

I received this letter from SIRIUS yesterday!: Dear Valued Customer: Thank you for recently contacting us to express your point-of-view regarding FOX News. At that time, we were still in discussions with FOX and working diligently to come to an agreement to be able to continue to...

Man Reddog, there are so many variables involved in that question - the right rig, the right carrier, the right owner, your driving/maintenance/work schedules . . . and then on top of all that will freight, or more accurately profitable freight be available? We drive D unit husbandand wife team...
