I think Moot is onto something; however, if we buy no more vans, the auto industry will suffer further and the fate of the auto manufacturers, then NLM, then Panther will be sealed.

RE: teams vote for each member One vote per member on the EO polls

No moderator edit is necessary because these are the well written factual comments that all of us can use. Good luck on your next APU; you're bound to get many comments here.

Welcome back to EO and back to good health. We trust you won't be eating much jello in the near future.

Aside from the fact that singing or playing music on a CB radion violates federal regulations, it is likely more annoying to many dozens of drivers times those that do it, or like it. Advertising is also illegal. Prosecutions are probably rarer than the complaints. Announcing that you aren't...

Let's just hope that the winner of this free truck is grateful for all of the truck's free attributes and can modify the sleeper to suit personal preferences, just like would be done with an "off the shelf" sleeper or truck. You could always replace the big speaker with a small speaker and...

My back-up plan is to use a spotter with two-way radio. Seriously, This is a good topic, with good advice during these ify times where expedite carriers could easily reach critical mass and some of the smaller carriers implode, or, a large one or two, for that matter. I'm sure we each have an...

HI JIM

Yo Dave. Waiting and actively persuing are two different things. Having applied, but hearing nothing over the past few months may cause a person to fall through the cracks. There have been managerial changes in White Glove Division in the recent past so some of the corporate memory is long...

Bam: What man wouldn't want to have dinner with a woman with clean laundry. I'm gonna have to start hanging around the wash board.

Consider that FedEx Custom Critical has a passenger policy that may allow your wife to ride-along if you purchase the insuranec they would require. She would not be allowed to drive unless she was a CDL holder and recognized as your co-driver after you satisfy the carrier's driver policy...

I agree with the Colonel on this one. I also believe that, over time, we are each equally the screwee and screwer. It just so happens that when we get the sweet end of the stick, we have no idea if another driver was negatively affected. We smile at our good fortune and head for the pickup.

I was damaged twice where I received a reasonable price for my down time while repairs were effected. I sent a letter to the other party's insurance carrier, explained my gross revenue, fixed and variable expenses. I subtracted the variables from the gross and asked for, and received a pro...

For the benefit of on-lookers in this thread, I'll take a stab at a lay explanation of the System that FedEx Custom Critical uses to determine the most appropriate truck to dispatch on any given run. Several years ago, the carrier purchased a chuck of software that they converted to the...

I can't speak for Panther drivers, but 2400-4000 sounds more like a potentially achievable range than an average. I can share the FedEx Custom Critical published averages, for a large straight truck (D), for the past few years. These numbers are the total miles in a year divided by 52 weeks...

get a Holiday Inn Priority card, buy a few more ten dollar breakfasts, a couple of more beers and you can earn enough points to pay for a room with a real shower.

Now that thar's funny!

RE: What do owner's expect drivers to be able to d Here's a near worst case scenario. A driver pulls into a scale-house with a burned out headlight, a trooper places the truck out of service until the headlamp is replaced. Assuming the driver has the required spare lamp, I think it would be...

Don't keep us in suspense, Leo, who's Betsy Ross?

I think RichM might have seen to the reason your claim was refused. The Workers Comp folks might think that your war injuries were the primary contributor to your passing out and resultant injury. They also might have viewed the fact that you have a color deficit condition, that only allows...
