It does and it doesn't. It makes good business sense because it keeps the customer happy. It makes poor business sense because UPS Freight (formerly Overnite) isn't set up to service customers directly outside of about a 50 mile radius of their terminals without interlining with another...

Does that mean you don't have a reason? There is a significant difference in power specs between the standard 3.7 and the 3.5 EcoBoost. The biggest difference is in the torque and the rpm range where it peaks. 3.7L 275 hp @ 6000 rpm 260 lbs/ft torque @ 4000 rpm 3.5L 320 hp @ 5000 rpm...

All I really wanted to learn from this thread was if others could confirm what I was seeing and if anyone had specific knowledge of this. I do know that the recent contract between UPS and the Teamsters had UPS raising starting wages and agreeing to more full time positions. I was wondering if...

I'm reporting this to Deputy Sheriff Leo. You used a naughty word cleverly hidden in that map. We don't need your stinkin' pile of feces posts where youngins' might see it. You need a 6 month vacation.

A well respected and distinguished E.O. member brought to my attention that a thread I started had a short run and was locked/closed. I checked. Sure enough there is a big old padlock on it and a sign that reads CLOSED. The thread title is: UPS Linehaul. I read through my original post...

As long as there is 3 skid and less freight, there will be a need for cargo vans. Most shippers aren't willing to pay for a larger vehicle if it isn't needed. Of course if T/T and straight truck O/Os are willing to haul small shipments at cargo van rates then there will be no need for vans...

Soon you will see my van up on blocks in the front yard, right next to the old refrigerator. One more thing for the neighbor kids to play in.

A ladder rack on the roof and some empty beer cans on the floor would help you blend in. Also painting your QC dome yellow and adding a brim will make it appear to be a hardhat forgotten on the roof.

I'm pretty sure when Eleanor was running the country she shared some top secret stuff with Franky and Lorena.

Hey Rags, you got a copy? How bout a internet check? Is this thing puttin' out?

Recently I noticed a huge increase in the number of small, unknown carriers pulling UPS 53 footers and pups. Did UPS negotiate some concessions from the Teamsters concerning road drivers and outside carriers? Has anyone else noticed this?

What type of trouble is GM having with deliveries to dealers?

How low is really, really low? Did he run it to the point where the engine starved for fuel and stalled?

Its not so much Islam, although that was the main group mentioned in the article, but the failure or reluctance to assimilate. Until very recently the U.S. was considered a "melting pot". Most immigrants felt it necessary to learn the language and customs to survive, integrate and get ahead...

It is the very last line that I found most significant. "Although society changes, he says, it must not be "interchangeable with any other form of society."

America likes to follow the lead set by European countries. I wonder if this will catch on here? The Netherlands to Abandon Multiculturalism
