No updated satellite positions from the time it shut down last night to when I hit the ignition this morning. My old QC would go to sleep and then wake up every few hours and send my position.

Boot-up time for my MCP 50 this morning. .

Not the MCP 50s that Panther puts in vans. Mine will stay on for about 50 minutes and then goes comatose until it gets a jolt of volts from turning on the ignition. While in this vegetative state it does nothing. It neither sends nor receives signals.

I've been hearing of a driver shortage my entire professional driving career. I believed it to be hype from trucking companies, shippers, unions, driving schools, the Broccoli Growers Association and the railroads; to get more drivers in the pipeline and keep wages low and union ranks full...

There is or was a company call Armadillo Express doing the same thing, although I haven't seen their vans for a few years.

Sounds like a Phoenix International to Toyota load.

Flying J BRF, WI?

Gary, If I had a cargo van or Sprinter to do a lease/purchase you would be the first person I would take adv, um, call.

Here's part of another interesting ad for an expedite company. I blocked out the name so as not to upset an advertiser. Aaahoo! At **** Logistics Express, our attention is placed on the individual, not volumes and numbers. In business since 2007, **** Logistics Express has experienced...

I guess there really is a driver shortage.

That's a good thing, right? Thanks for reporting back. It sounds like you found the job you were originally looking for. Hope it works out. Keep us updated.

The patient suffering from Ebola in a Texas hospital has been identified as New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey. Harvey had been rehabbing in Liberia following Tommy John surgery last year. He flew into Dallas to visit Nolan Ryan. The CDC isn't sure if Mr. Harvey contracted Ebola while in...

Hello. Anybody down here? I noticed there hasn't been a post here since mid July. I thought I would come down here and clean the place up. I dusted, emptied and refilled the litter box. We should be all set for October.

I hauled a bundle of 14' overhead door track from a Roadway terminal south of Chicago to a town in Wisconsin that was about an hour from my house. It only stuck out about 2'. I ran a strap from one side wall E-track to the other, going around the outside of the rear doors. Had it not been for...

In my opinion this Hyundai is the nicest looking van of all the Euro-style vans or North American slop buckets. The article states the H350 has a load capacity of "up to 3,086 pounds". Apparently the "H350" designation doesn't equate to the U.S. 350 or 3500 for a "1-ton".

I once used a fire extinguisher to put a drunk roommate to bed. He had dark curly hair and mustache. When the dust settled I was looking at a roommate that had aged 40 years. Today he looks much like he did that night. It was a rare glimpse into the future.

Those are decent rates...for a van.

Welcome back! Short retirement. More like an extended vacation. I would like the matching set of gold plated wheel chocks, the ones with the inset digital clocks I gave as a retirement gift returned please. Better yet, send them to Mr. and Mrs. Layoutshooter. I'll cover the shipping charges.

Do tell...

It is nice to leave any career on your own terms. Good luck to both of you! If you ever decide to get back into expediting, your years of experience driving a straight truck should help qualify you for a gig in a van.
