    Cargo Van Will we be able to work through Coronavirus?

    I used to. But I changed out my fridge for a 12v Dometic cooler-type fridge, and there went my place to set the printer.

    Cargo Van Will we be able to work through Coronavirus?

    I saw someone else grab the front of their N95 mask to remove it. Let's just hope the mask wasn't covered with the virus.

    Cargo Van Will we be able to work through Coronavirus?

    Good tip. Except I din't have a printer in the van. And I mail something maybe 3 or 4 times a year.

    Cargo Van Will we be able to work through Coronavirus?

    Not really. I tend to sit outside the convenience store (or wherever) if there are too many people in there. The numbnut customers at the QT in Wichita are all acting like there's no virus issue. I had to go to the Post Office to get a stamped envelope to mail in the rebate stuff for the...

    JUST GOT MY CARGO VAN

    Let ME recap for you. Some lame-assed justification for spamming isn't going to magically make it OK to spam here. You wanna buy an ad, call the office. On a side note, don't insult everyone here by trying to get people to believe that he moved his business to an apartment building two years...

    JUST GOT MY CARGO VAN

    I think that'll just about do it on the Filic spamming. SAFER Web - Company Snapshot FILIC EXPRESS LLC Physical address is an apartment in Phoenix, and the mailing address is an apartment in Louisville.

    Ford Transit Midroof vs Highroof

    Unless you're really short, you want the high roof just for comfort.

    Any Bolt, Express-1, or Load - 1 drivers here?

    Based primarily on the math of pro numbers, and offhand comments from dispatchers, is say currently, with the virus issue, loads are down about 50%, maybe a tad more. The rates are indeed all over the place. They're probably averaging right around 80 cents for a van.

    Cargo Van Will we be able to work through Coronavirus?

    The plasma treatment won't be a widespread treatment. That will only be used on the most dire cases. But the anti viral treatments are probably going to be the ticket. Chloroquine looks like it's helping to tamp down on the body's response, which is what's really killing people, but there's at...

    Cargo Van Will we be able to work through Coronavirus?

    As Ed Harris so eloquently said in Apollo 13, "Let's work the problem, people." "I don't care what something is designed to do, I want to know what it can do." These are wise words for any crisis. Guessing, blaming... none of that helps, it isn't productive. You have to focus on, and work...

    Trevor Noah is not funny. He's never even been in the same room with funny. That video is amusing, because those kinds of blatantly one-sided clip collections usually are, but where's the video showing the liberal media saying the same things?

    The Trump Card...

    Just in the last couple of days I'm seeing more people wear them. Friday morning in West Memphis I went to Walgreens to pick up some hand sanitizer (haha just kidding, they don't have any) and I got there about 45 minutes before they opened. Forgot about the Central Time thing. So I waited...

    The Trump Card...

    It would be kind of a stupid example to set, though. Trump is living in a viral bubble where he doesn't go out in public, has been tested twice for the virus and he isn't infected, and everyone who comes in contact with him must first be tested for the virus. So there's no reason to wear one...

    The Trump Card...

    I don't even know what you're complaining about (other than the generic Orange Man Bad). Are you upset that Trump probably won't wear a mask in public, even through he isn't going out in public? Are you upset with the President because the Surgeon General finally caved and had to walk back his...

    Cargo Van Will we be able to work through Coronavirus?

    I'm not making my own hand sanitizer, because I just so happen to have some in the van. I've always bought 91% rubbing alcohol I figure I can dilute it myself if I need to. I mostly use it for detail cleaning of stuff. If I were to make my own, I'd use 91% or 99% alcohol and mix it to keep...

    Cargo Van Will we be able to work through Coronavirus?

    LOL It's 60-95 percent. !00% alcohol won't work, as you said, because it evaporates too quickly, and you need at least some water in there for the alcohol to even work (solvent and surface tension). Numerous studies have shown that 60% alcohol will kill almost all bacteria, and viruses that...

    Cargo Van Will we be able to work through Coronavirus?

    If I had to guess, using minimal information, I'd say freight is down at least 50%. But there is fright moving. I haven't heard of any issues moving between states. Supplies like hand sanitizer, Kleenex, wipes, those are pretty scarce right now. Easier to get those than N95 masks, tho. At...
