    Has anyone converted a school bus into an expeditor?

    In the Sixties, Ken Kesey and his friends converted an old IH school bus into an expediter. The custom paint job on the bus and their unprofessional appearance didn't sit well with the general freight shipping community or law enforcement agencies. A poor on-time delivery record and high...

    My 1st complaint on my new Promaster

    I hope it wasn't all that chocolate frosting on your birthday cake that mucked up the DEF system.

    What to do with those roof mounts?

    I left mine on. The Fantastic Vent cover is forward of the QC mount so removing it for aerodynamic reasons isn't a factor. Besides it makes for a nice spare wheel chock carrier. Kinda like those safari Land Rovers with the spare tire mounted on the roof. .

    I know nothing about the company but I do like their motto. "Get it there or be square."

    You knew that. What did you think I was going to do with the 4 grand you are giving me for my Chevy.

    The trains should drown out the noise from the asswipes with the straight pipes and Jake brakes. Sleep well!

    GasPods

    Are any E.O. members using this product on either their personal car or expedite vehicle? The GasPods appear to be an alternative to Airtabs. Perusing the GasPod website, most of the technical data seems to be anecdotal. Not much scientific data other than a couple of pictures of some really...

    Moving up...

    Part of "servicing the customer" and "get what you pay for" also involves supplying the right size equipment at a competitive price. why pay for a 53' trailer when a 24' truck will do? My personal belief that for expediting or what expediting once was (door to door direct, exclusive use) a...

    buy LDT/MDT - moving house - am I nuts?

    Price out PODS or ABF. You can do it on-line. ABF also has the POD type containers. I would think this way would be easier and cheaper than buying a 15 year old truck for $10,000 to $12,000. Where would you park this truck after the initial move? Would you sell this truck after the permanent...

    Moving up...

    I've often wondered why a shipper would book an expedite T/T and pay expedite rates. Why not deal with a large truckload carrier that runs teams or has the ability to relay the trailer. If you are pulling a 53" dry box, aren't you competing with the large TL carriers?
