    Load Acceptance Rates Included in Ranking

    I asked one of our esteemed executives why we haven`t had a rate increase in over 20 years. (Express has one nearly every year). His response was the competition prevents this. So you mean we have to maintain our high standards and still meet the price because of Penske yellow rejects.

    Load Acceptance Rates Included in Ranking

    What scares you the most on the road?

    I lived in Dayton In the I75 development stage. I remember the great debate about which side of the river it should go. The wrong side won, resulting in that killer curve near downtown. Now after nearly 50 years it has been straightened somewhat.

    About that "Cincinnati Chili" Heard on Cincinnati radio WLW I think, that its not really chili at all. They say a Greek migrant was unsuccessful in selling his home style soup until he started calling it "Cincinnati Chili" (You can have it)
