    Expediters On Television? You Bet!

    Lawrence: You may just find yourself with more crowd than capacity, & have to turn some away! ;) Now I'm wondering how early I need to be, to get a parking space..

    Let me be the first

    This could become the first forum members go to, after "one of those days" - but, where's the bunnies? You advertise bunnies here, but there isn't a bunny in sight! Not even a photo of Teacel...What's up with that? :7

    Backing into Docks

    Ever since I read the joke on the Loading Dock, about President Bush being told that several Brazilian soldiers had been killed, & he wondered how many that was, "brazillion" is a favorite word of mine, lol. It cracks me up, anyway...:7

    Be ware of the Petro in Atlanta, Ga

    I remember that Petro - they had a security guard posted inside, he stopped me as I headed for the rest room, saying "Only drivers are permitted in this area" I showed him my CDL, & never went there again. I figured it must be a bad news place - and QT is much nicer, anyway.

    UPS and FEDEX

    Wow - I thought the shirts were a joke, but if FedEx & UPS really did merge, maybe not!:+

    Training

    I second that emotion - thanks for being a vet. Good luck with the training, & please tell your wife that she's welcome to send a private message to me, or Linda Caffee, or CoCo, if she thinks we can help. And while you're training her to be a good & safe driver, please don't forget that you...

    FrtSha8ker, I found out about the $1.99 a month deal - when I added a home phone, which is SBC, but they wouldn't give me the lower price, because I'd signed a contract for a year on the Freedomlink. I figure $20.00 a month is cheaper than anything else I found, and I also get a discount from...

    it is election season, and I hate it.

    That's exactly what it is - litter on a stick! x(

    Canada Returning to the U.S.

    I don't see the point in sealing the back & side doors - if there is no wall between driver & cargo, it isn't sealed. Unless they seal the driver's door, too, and that's going TOO far, even for Homeland Security! ;)

    Canada Can't check PAP's

    If it were REALLY user friendly, they'd have one-stop shopping, lol. But it is getting better. :)

    What Van For You?

    The availability of parts & service for Sprinters, or more accurately, lack of same, is what made up my mind to pass them up. That's an issue that will be resolved when there are more Sprinters on the road, but we can't exactly use a loaner while waiting, so I don't see it as a great choice just...

    FLLET ONE TRUCKERS ADVANTAGE

    Dhalltoyo: I thank you for the wish that I have a great holiday, and the help in achieving it by providing a few fireworks to get it started, but I have to say, with all due respect, that the error is yours. My comments, although appearing after yours, weren't directed to you - the OOIDA number...

    FLLET ONE TRUCKERS ADVANTAGE

    Even if my OOIDA membership doesn't save money at the fuel pumps, I still think it's money well spent. The magazine Landline has good, useful information, and, as Leo says, they are working on our behalf, not the industry giant ATA. I think they deserve our support.

    Good Luck to all

    Raceman, I understand where you're coming from, but please pop in & pop off, too, whenever you feel like it. Friction isn't a bad thing - whether it creates heat, or irritation, or just makes us think, it's not gonna hurt us - & it may even help. As long as we keep it civil, we're all big...

    Welcome back Teacel!

    Welcome! It's probably going to be like the old curse for you: "may you live in interesting times", but, you knew that already. And still agreed to do it, lol. Thanks - & here's hoping you enjoy it as much as we do. :D

    What kind of forums do you want?

    Dreamer, & of course, the rest of the Mod Squad: I like it! Electronics is a good choice, I wouldn't have to hear my son in law the cybergenius laughing when I ask questions, lol. People who have knowledge sharing with others is a GOOD thing, a real win-win situation. And I like Unorthodox's...

    gettin' online

    Jeez, my laptop is a year old, it doesn't need a card or antenna, all I do is park behind a motel that offers Wifi, or Starbucks, Panera, etc - there are lots of websites like Netstumbler that list places with free Wifi, and get online free! I paid $20 a month for SBC's Freedomlink, which has a...

    Questions to ask and answers to get before accepti

    RE: Questions to ask and answers to get before acc Just like in a marriage, you try to find a division of labor that takes advantage of each partners strengths - one is good at routing, the other can back up to the dock faster, one is good at sounding professional on the phone, the other has...

    Backing into Docks

    There really is no substitute for experience - the more you do it, the easier it becomes, once you've found that focal point to guide you. You use a focal point to center yourself in your lane when going forward, right? [I keep the centerline of the hood on the right edge of the lane] only it's...
