Hanceh: Who are you? do you know me or Rene'? Do we know you?. Send me a PM and introduce yourself.

$31,500.00. WOW! You could've bought a new cargo van for that price! Congrats on the perseverence and the good find; we trust you'll enjoy the adventure and be well rewarded with a great ROI.

HR: Pleased to have met you last month; I trust you got a decent load out of CIN for your effort. The next time you're in or near Green/Canton, call your Contractor Coordinator and ask for an invite in to talk to her/him and also ask to sit with a dispatch agent for awhile. Your request will...

Hanceh: I deleted your question because I could, and because I didn't like your surly attitude nor your sarcasm toward me in other threads. I started to send you a private message but decided it wasn't worth my time. So Hanceh, who are you, what is your affiliation with trucking in general...

Steve Steven Stephen: Your timing is near perfect. You should be able to get all the answers you need at the Expedite Expo this coming Friday and Saturday at the Roberts Convention Center, Exit 50, I-71, Wilmington Ohio. Bring your truck along and talk to several of the expedite carriers'...

Some, if not many, or maybe even most of our carriers built their "on-time" reputations by being on-time every time. Indeed, that is what high dollar, specialty expediting is, or at least was in the good ole Roberts Express days. Our one and only customer, our lessee, for those of us with...

The July issue of Landline magazine has an article where, on page 59, it discusses Canadian weight limits on wide base tires. The article states that, while they are permitted in all territories and provinces, they're limited in most provinces to 13,200 pounds per axle - significantly less than...

OVM If you paid $100 for your airtabs, you will have your investment returned in 1205 miles if your figures and my guesses are accurate. My tabs were a gift, so I'm ahead in fuel savings since the day I installed them. We can't afford not to have these money savers, even on a van.

More T-Chek You'll get a card and some blank drafts in the mail. You can't use it yet, but you'll be encouraged to set up your own pin as soon as possible so that you'll be able to use the system when it becomes active on August 20.

Some of the T-Chek program highlights for those who haven't gotten their mail. Discounted fuel at the Flying J. Fuel at cash price plus a $0.0275 per gallon discount. Comdata transaction fee is $1.00; T-Check fee is $.50. No charge to load card. No fuel receipts for the carrier when using...

Is it possible that your doors are sprung a little and that is the cause of your not-so-tight seal. I had a similar problem with my, smaller thn a Sprinter, rear doors. I opened the door, pushed out on the top and pulled in on the bottom and after a couple of tries, I had the door repositioned...

Most of us reached adulthood in a reasonably normal fashion, after living thru Alice in Wonderland, Aesop's fabled Fabels, The House of Seven Gables, all manner of ghosts and goblins, and even the seven horny dwarfs. I think our progeny can handle a little witchcraft, however devilish it may be.

RDH: many of us use 1/2" ply as it's enough and keeps the weight down. If you place a 30" +/- ply down the center of the bed, fasten the e-track to the floor on each side, then a 6" +/- ply on the other side of the e-track. You should do ok. Self tapping stainless screws thru the floor will...

Expediting by lease to a carrier is a touch and go business; that's just the way expediting, as we commonly know it, has been for many years. We have fixed and recurring expenses that accrue even while setting still. By turning down a short load today, you'll need a longer load tomorrow, and...

And 4 days later, Fastcharlie became the 4000th registered forum member. Congratualations to Lawrence and EO and a hearty welcome to Fastcharlie for helping to achieve this milestone on the Expedited Freight Information Center.

Teflon: Have you resolved your delivery problem?

We have been towed three times, that I can recall, while loaded enroute to the consignee. Our experience has been that our carrier has paid the tow bill from the point of breakdown to the consignee. Our paid miles stopped at the point of breakdown and we received no revenue for the miles being...

Anyone at the TA in Canton?

If 60 cents a mile is an accurate price, and you are getting the usual 60% of gross, you might not earn enough for a good lunch. For every 100 miles, you'll likely have 75 loaded and 25 empty. That's $47.50 to the truck owner. If you get 60% of that, you will gross $28.50 from which you may...
