    The right idea!

    You could add the following to your sig-line: Taking out the Garbage is my Speciality. Oops, someone else is already using it. If you want to avoid being accused of plagiarism, delete the second "i" in Speciality and you should be good to go.

    Phone Wait Times

    My personal best is 72 minutes shattering my previous record of 38 minutes. http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/40752-hold-record-shattered.html

    Jeff Jensen 1-28-2011

    I never met Jeff but talked with him several times on the phone. The voice! He had a great voice. We were talking about music once and I asked him if he ever did any singing. He said he was a drummer but never sang. What a waste, he had a great voice! Are any of his radio spots available...

    Cargo Van winter tire's?

    Please keep us updated. Are the snow tires new? I'm curious as to the mileage we as expediters could expect from a set.

    Cargo Van winter tire's?

    That's not true. As Fastman pointed out, snow tires, or at least most snow tires are made of a softer compound. While the lugs and deep grooves on snow tires aren't of much use on ice, the softer compound gives them a great advantage, traction wise, over all-season tires, even in extreme cold...

    Wisconsin Scales

    For what its worth. This summer Wisconsin changed the signage prior to the entrances of weigh stations. The old signs read 4 Tons. The new signs have been upped to 5 tons. Not that I ever stopped, except when placarded. .

    is expediting only use of cargo vans?

    Straight Shot Express also has company equipment. Call or better yet go visit both companies if you live in the Cities. It certainly is more sensible to drive someone's truck to see how you like the job. The pay will be less but so will the risk and investment. I've been doing the van thing...

    Yeah, political correctness way out of control. Note the raccoon in the upper left corner of the city's logo. .

    is expediting only use of cargo vans?

    Not exactly, why? You sound (read) shocked and surprised. The real name is Coon Rapids. The city is a post war suburb named after the rapids where the Coon Creek meets the Mississippi River. Coon Creek got its name way back in the Red River ox cart days because of the abundance of racoons in...

    Connecting a second battery

    Reading through the following link will should prove to be both informative and confusing. Personally, I would add two batteries instead of one if you can afford to do so. OVM mentioned paying a pro to do the installation. Great advice if you aren't mechanically/electrically inclined...

    is expediting only use of cargo vans?

    Greetings Debra. Are you looking to own and operate a cargo van as an independent contractor or drive one as an employee? I live about 20 miles from Rogers, MN where River Side Logistics is located. I know nothing about the company other than what I found on SAFER and seeing one of their...

    Driver shortage

    I talked with a friend and former colleague from Con-way Freight last night. Apparently there really is a driver shortage and it is even affecting the LTL segment of trucking. He said the Minneapolis terminal is short at least 20 drivers. They are farming out city P&D work to local trucking...

    It is Septemeber...where R U?

    Welcome to expediting and sleeping at Flying Js. Those sprinklers will definitely get your attention. I've parked over them more than once. Sometimes I will get out and look before backing in or I can see from a distance if the grass is splayed out, indicating a sprinkler head. Other times...

    Our job is protecting Muslims

    Folks, please step back. Let me through. Hmm, looks to be a classic case of Turd Journalism. As the young lady above in the Sven and Ole Pizza T-shirt correctly noted; there is no byline. Typical of most Turd Journalism. Even graffiti artists take credit for their work. Turd Journalists...
