Is anyone having problems with their Qualcomm today? Especially FedEx people?

I ended up being stuck at the scales coming into Colorado today for a while and I got a chance to talk to one of the Colorado’s safety people while they search a couple trucks in front of me for drugs (pretty cool show I must add and the guys got pinched). We were talking about bridges...

I’m here in Denver tonight and drove here (over 75 miles out of my way) to use idleaire because of the heat, I deliver Monday morning and wanted to get a good nights sleep and relax one day. I had a fun day! Well i get here and turn myself around to look for an open spot and they got the...

I sat in SLC with the temp being 100 degrees, sweating in my truck but walking across the parking lot entering the truckstop dry. I sat in the desert in Africa when it was 115 degrees in the shade for four days. But I never was in the Middle East in the desert carrying gear...

Is there a real reason for this? LA gas - $3.22 per gallon Detroit gas - $3.52 per gallon

I just read 300 pages of the 1000 plus page of the Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007 and got to say this is a bad thing for all of us. This is not going to be just test voted on today but the senate will force passage of this bill later this week as fast...

I got an email from someone asking about this and wonder; If such a thing actually exist? And Does anyone actually do mail runs or have done mail runs outside of expeditng mail? A long time ago, I worked for a company who did air freight of mail during the holiday seasons with DC3s...

I know that a few dispatchers and other company employees peruse this site and a few pick up on some of the things we say but after meeting a fellow EO member yesterday and discussing a really touchy subject for some of us (last item in the list), I decided to post what I think are some rules...

I am watching local 4 - the Offical North American International Auto Show Station (Big deal) and they are all over the Ford/Toyota talks. Well after reading about the 'whistle stop' tour of Ford managment to promote their product and tell everyone about Ford, I figure that they are not going...

I read the article "LAWSUIT UPDATE: Judge sets trial date for Landstar case" http://www.expeditersonline.com/artman/publish/article_005197.html and wonder if this is a good thing.

The other day I got a load from Roanoke Virginia to Naples Florida – paid really well (even with the DH out of Florida) and I didn’t have to spend Thanksgiving on my butt staring out the window or in the rain or in the cold weather for a few days, I could drive. Well after driving all day...

Do I have to say anything else?

I think this is a great thing but I find this really odd. This gives a great edge in regards of contractor relations and selling the company to both customers and contractors. But I am confused about the problem that this would have with the IRS and the Department of Labor. First the IRS...

Seeing a ‘hire alert’ for teams out of Chicago for UPS got me to thinking. Yes it is early in the morn and I haven’t had my coffee yet but I think I make a coherent statement. It is a fact that load offers have been in many cases getting to the point that many will not take them at all...

.... on effect high temperatures have on fuel costs After reading the article, I have to ask what is the reasoning behind a law to allow established standards to be changed. I don't agree with the ATA and surly don't think that the public should be forced to accept any changes that would give...

OK this is not a FedEx Bashing thread. Has anyone else had problems with the VRU and the CLink giving out inaccurate info? I am in the great state of Arkensaw, Little Rock to be precise. I paid homage to Clinton and tried to book an appoinment with his massage parlor but they were booked till...

After hearing for a few days that Ford will lay off 75,000 workers, I find out today the package they are getting is outrageous. Just mentioned the retraining allowance, the health care and a separation pay is upsetting. I bet our great governor of Michigan will also kick in some more stuff that...

Have you seen the new Panther ad on the EO home page? It took a while to load, bad connection here at the Pilot. Well talking to my wife during the loading of the ad, I moved my cursor over the ad to read the news. at that time she put me on the speaker phone. when the ad came up and roared...
