Cash. I never use fuel cards, and never have except when I worked as a company driver. I used to use com checks, but that was years ago before I saw the error of my ways. I added up the cost, and it was around $1000 per year. For years now I just take my ATM card and draw $600 "expense money"...

Do your research on the engine. The Cat 3126 is not what I would want in an expediter. Take that into consideration when pricing. Do a search right here on EO, and you should get alot of feedback about tha engine, from those who have had experience with them.

Though I rarely comment, I DO read all of your tax advice, and appreciate the effort you put into it to inform us all, and answer questions. Thanks, Frank.

Here´s a suggestion. Go to one of the companies that offer training, like North American Van Lines, or Swift etc. There are many companies out there that have paid or inexpensive training. Take thier course, and learn how to do it the right way, and then work for them for awhile. You´ll get...

I wouldn´t. The cat 3126 seems to start having problems about the 300k mileage mark. They are expensive to rebuild. Allison automatic in a road truck carrying weight, is also dicey. I had a 3126 engine in a D unit, and I´ll never own another. There´s alot of comment and info on that engine if...

A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say the following: "Emma come first. Den I come. Den two asses come together. I come...

For what it´s worth department. There was alot of press concerning Mexican drivers coming into the USA a few months back. I was in Mexico at the time doing some r&r, and I tuned into the Mexican TV network news. At the time, the Mexican president was making an issue of the NAFTA agreement, and...

MPG, you´re scenario is largely theoretical throughout your rant. You seem to be pushing the panic button, and trying to draw parallels between the industry you are in, and expediting. There are some, of course, but not many. The only real parallel is that both indusrties are constantly faced...

MPG...What ARE you drinking???!! I want to buy a case. Here´s a couple reasons for you. You would need to work 600 hours a week just to get started with all the things you´ll be doing, plus a bank of manned phones to field all the inquiries, not to mention fielding the loads you have to bid on...

You´ve just outlined the basic principles of "free market economics" aka "CAPITALISM". It will continue, but you paint a negative picture, and neglect to explore the opportunities that will be available in the future.( there will be opportunity). Remember 10 years ago, there was no "expediting"...

We learn something every day!!! This next little entry you have probably repeated some of these things many times. A little History lesson... Did you know? In George Washington's days, there were no cameras. One's image was either sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George...

My generation just might have been lucky. I had a drug problem when I was younger, but I turned out all right. Take a look and see if this rings a bell I was drug to church on Sunday morning. I was drug to church for wedding and funerals. I was drug to family reunions no matter the weather...

Why do you drive the unit size you drive? I see alot of owner operators making changes in thier equipment these days. Most, that I have run into are downsizing to B or C units. Some are going larger. All my years in expediting, I´ve only ran a D unit, but am considering going to an E. The...

While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance."Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official round these...

OLD VERSION The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or...

You may know they've released John Hinckley from the mental facility for unsupervised visits to his parents home on weekends. For those of you who may be too young to remember .....John Hinckley shot President Ronald Reagan to impress the actress Jodie Foster. This is such a nice letter...
