A word or two on what is not being said about Ruppert Murdoch « eddieleaks.org

The recent hijackings by escaped prisoners in Kingman, AZ has gotten me to thinking about our panic button. Why? For a while there we had a crack in our QC dome and a couple of times when we got a truck wash our panic button was set off. It was how FDCC responded that got me to questioning...

Next time yous stop by the kiosk at either TA or Petro take a few minutes to fill out an application for their new card which combines points. I can't tell you how many times we had shower points at the only truck stop that wasn't in that town and we didn't need enough fuel to get the points...

Laidover in Ontario, CA for the 4th of July we rented a car and headed to Newport Beach on a whale watching excursion! And, while we weren't fortunate enough to sight any whales, we did run across a large pod of common dolphins and some California sea lions basking in the sun piled on a bouy...

About a month ago we were home and I went in for an eye doctor appointment. My prescription changed and I picked out a new pair of glasses and prescription sunglasses. These are the best sunglasses I have ever owned. You can see in the early morning light or just before dusk. You can...

The best way to get all your newbie questions answered is to go the the Expedite Expo on July 23-24 in Wilmington, OH. The reason being is . . . that no sooner than you get 1 question answered it will surely prompt a new question and not everybody will have the same answers. There will be...

This past weekend we got laidover in FL. So, we headed on down to St. Augustine, rented a car and took in a very special B&B. Later we would learn that we would have been better off just parking at the J and calling a cab. Once we got downtown we were able to take one of the many tours on the...

DougTravels was banned from this website because he had a different political point of view than the Right Wingers on here. This is a country of Freedom of Speech and his freedoms are being silenced by the right wing moderators on here. I say reinstate DougTravels because this is not a...

Well, finally we got laidover with a decent load picking up on Monday. We'd been told that we could get into State Parks and that the people that told us had never been turned away. I finally convinced HoneyPie to take me fishing at a State Park. So, we researched it on the web and found...

We're sitting here in Oak Grove, MO laidover. We've only had two crappy load offers all day and there are a bunch of trucks in front of us. I kind of think we'll be sitting here all weekend. But, at least there's a truck show going on here. There must be 50 Hot Trucks here. If you're in the...

My honey and I love Vegas! Love it! We had a run to the Salt Lake area and delivered and what were our layover options? Los Angeles! So, of course, we went to Vegas Babee! We got a decent load offer for pickup Monday, which meant we had all day Fri, Sat, and Sun to play. We decided...

that is the question. Whether it is better to make yourself available for all qualifying loads . . . or, only those that are WG.:rolleyes: You know, I've heard it both ways . . . Some say, that they want to see everything that is offered and take the power away from FedEx; yet, Others...

Gripe, gripe, gripe. It seems that so many people have abandoned EO and the ones that remain are on a ***** fest. Now, I could sit here a gripe and complain, but that would get me 1000 miles from nowhere. A bad attitude will take over your whole being and while you may not notice it...

You know em. We all get em. They're the ones that just don't make sense $ wise, DH wise, time wise, etc. You turn em down on the C-Link, you turn it down a second time, then you get the inevitable "can you do me a FAVOR?" call. You have the sweet voice asking you why you turned down that...

Today I ran into a couple of E Unit TVal drivers. They blindsided me with some garbage about Expediter Services (the Red Kenworth D Trucks), my owner getting preferential when it comes to getting the better runs (ie., to California, etc.). There was nothing I could say to convince them...

You know, I hate to discourage anyone from pursuing their dreams, but if you're thinking about coming into the expediting business, now is probably the worst time most of us have ever seen. It took a while longer than other areas of the economy, but it seems that the recession has finally...

We have been having a great time storytelling. If you've never contributed to one of our stories, please feel free to do so. All are welcome. Or, perhaps you just want to read the thread and LYAO! Believe me, we spend a lot of time doing that as we're figuring out how to screw each other...

OK, Doug is complaining that he is bored. We had a lot of fun for a couple of weeks exhibiting our creative writing abilities (or inabilities as the case may be). So, we are going to start another Storytelling thread, only this time we have to have rules so we don't get in trouble with any...

Has anyone else been noticing a substantial difference between what C-Link and the VRU say what has been going out from an express center? We're sitting in Louisville. Yesterday VRU said 11 Cs, 4 (I think) Ds - C-Link said 4 Cs and 2 Ds. The same thing is happening today. What's the...

After a year of expediting, and being with each other 24/7/365 we have run outta things to talk about. Heck, I know when he's going to the bathroom, and sometimes I'm in it. So, he and I (no, honestly, it's mostly me) play pranks on each other to keep things exciting. Poor Pie. Anyway...
