    Hotelier Looking For Some Advice

    I should have noted that setting up a deal with an LTL carrier may require you to provide transportation for the drivers to and from their terminal. I do see LTL tractors parked outside hotels but I also see passenger vans shuttling the drivers back and forth. Hey, you could buy a van and I...

    Don't Mess With Texas: Part Deux

    You won't be displaying that Turtle smirk when you get put into shipping container and sent to China. Operation Jade Helm is for real! It is named after the woman who is directing it, Jade Helm. Not a very original name for a military operation of this magnitude. Jade Helm is the daughter of...

    Why is s-e-x in the swear filter?

    Evil Swiss Army Knives

    The TSA took my Swiss Army Knife from me at the Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport. They did give me the option of finding a place to mail it from. I declined and told her to take it home for her kid. A few years later departing from the Orlando Airport I noticed my replacement Swiss Army Knife in...

    Why is s-e-x in the swear filter?

    It should be fixed? That's a rather weak assurance and poor attempt at assuaging us. Assuming the proper assembly of assistants are assigned, the assault on this assorted mess should begin immediately. Excuse me for being overly assertive but this is an expedite site and I can assure you we...

    The Worst Road Contest...

    Most northern tier states have seasonal load restrictions in the spring for certain roads. I know Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan do. I would guess New York and the Northeast also restrictions. Being in a cargo van I don't pay attention to seasonal road...

    Wow! Welcome back JP. Just because you haven't been expediting is no excuse not to check in occasionally. I just reviewed your excellent tutorial on installing a Fantastic Vent. I will soon be hacking a 14" square hole in a new van roof. I thought I would brush up on the install and re-read...

    From the linked article: "Policies that were set in place back in the 1930s, the 1940s that set up the redlining were also setting these other cycles in motion," says the Steven Woolf, the center's director, "where you have generations of illness that are actually being passed on."

    I have delivered many loads to Dickinson, Wattford City and points north. Pretty much all over ND. South Dakota, not so much. Most of my pickups and deliveries have been along the I-29 corridor or the Rapid City area.
