Not knowing the answer, my first question would be "with what country's currency are you computing my compensation?" On the second note, I'm with OVM. The Sprinter will be a better entry level machine with which to learn the biz, especially crossing the border in a commercial vehicle.

A similar scam is called a "drive down". As you come down a merge lane, or otherwise signal a lane change, a scammer will slow and wave you over and then speed up and allow you to hit him/her. The scammer will deny ever waving you over and insist you failed to yield as required.

Turtle: Thanks for the oils seminar. Very enlightening and useful info for all, particularly for the Sprinter owners.

Like you said...it's a rumor; it's without substance at this this time

Pappy: You can have it both ways; take your music on the road and tell the bus driver he's no longer needed 'cause you're the new driver. Good Luck!

RE: UPS Expedite name change...UPS Express Critica It seems obvious to me that UPS is aiming to take advantage of the Custom Critical reputation and glean a few customers from the sole major competition by brand name confusion. These folks aren't just thinking about expediting they have the...

Any savings the carrier can realize by reducing the size of its workforce or the compensation to its workforce will undoubtedly be retained by the carrier. Not until such time as there is a critical shortage of owner/operators willing to lease on at the current rates will they consider an...

OK boys and girls, play nice

Not a snowballs chance; she's too well embedded in her district. Plus which of her radical constituants would ever trade her in for the one-issue Cindy?
