Technology at its finest

Many folks put two rows, fore and aft, on the floor. I have mine on add-on walls at floor level and at 16". I should think no more that 2 feet above floor. Remember, for optimum securement, you want to secure the pallet and the freight on the pallet

I don't know about Bolt's New England opportunities but FedEc Custom Critical and Panther do well in the New England area. The area bordered by Albany south to Harrisburg to Delmarva stay relatively busy. One of our carrier's consistent top performers drives a T/T out of southern CT. One...

If a gun toting teacher with a permit had shot that 14 year old before he had a chance to off himself, she'd be facing a life of misery, in and out of the courtroom. Criminal and civil suits would follow her forever.

I'm having trouble with that two hands on the wheel thing. Must comm'l trucks all be automatic trans or would you start out in 13th gear? How would you turn on headlights at dusk? There's gotta be more to that story if there's any truth to it.

The 40 virgins just might be catholic nuns with M-16s

Truckload and LTL carriers base their profits on stuffing a truck full of freight from one or more customers destined to one or more locations or consignees. The bigger the truck, the greater the opportunity for maximum return on investment. Expedited freight, on the other hand, is generally...
