    Ace E-Manifest

    I think your best bet would be to ask the U.S. Customs folks at Buffalo, Sarnia and Detroit. They will probably give you as many different answers as the folks on this site will give you. Lately, there have been threads on here that have differing opinions as to the need for <10,001 vehicles...

    I make certain to never brake, accelerate nor change lanes when on an overpass or a bridge, during rain, snow or ice.

    HD TV

    We put it carefully in the back and had a neighbor help me hang it on the wall in the house. You asked about in the house, not in the van. I have a small Audiovox flat panel TV/DVD player in the van. Speakers are either wireless headsets or through the van's factory speakers.

    CEO of FEDCC

    Having given it some thought, I think there is an interesting story in the way that Lawrence went from expediting as an Owner/Operator to the mega-web'sters that he and his staff are today. This little thing we all call the EO Forum is but a small part of the On Time Media empire that Lawrence...

    Leaving expediting

    I suspect his contract is, or is like, a lease to buy a vehicle and if he walks away from the deal, he loses all that he put into it. On top of the lease, he is paying the owner of the van $1000 monthly for the privelege of their business relationship, kinda like a franchise fee. Panther-art...

    HD TV

    We've had a 42" plasma for four years and never regreted the money spent. I plugged it in during the weekend of Superbowl and was immediately impressed with the clarity and visibility of each blade of grass on the field. My set is actually a monitor with digital/HDTV capability. I have a 6.1...

    Thinking about becoming a fleet driver.

    Rootie: Many folks visit EO, ask for advice and then move ahead and sign on with an ownerwithout heeding any of the advice given. Pardon me if I'm wrong, but I sense you are one of those folks that are more interested in the number of miles you are likely to drive rather than the myriad...

    Getting perscription on the road

    I do, and you can also, take your bottle of pills to just about any pharmacy in the country and have it refilled, if refill option is available. I use Wal-mart for my scripts because my insurance info is on their computers and transferring the prescrition from one store to another is a snap...

    Starter continues to crank W/Key OFF

    Sounds to me like the dealer has no clue as to how to fix a problem so he is jury-rigging it so you have a temporary solution to a continuing malfunction. Kind of like a little novacain on a broken leg...feels good for a while. If Mercedes had wanted a cut-off switch on the starter, they'd...

    I was involved in a beta test of the Qualcomm telephone about two years ago. The fone was used in concert with the Mobile Communications Terminal(MCT)in our trucks. We would receive a run offer simultaneously on the QC fone and the MCT. The offer appeared on the fone in the same format as the...

    The Cost of Doing Business Being Self Employed

    I don't know whether to thank you or critisize you for your lengthy thread. You seem to have enjoyed your 30 years in the transportation business, then you commence to remind us of the idiocy of the manner in which we leased expediters and those expediters with their own authority conduct their...

    I've yet to see a UPS expediter.

    Those trailers are like package dumpsters; they drop them off in the morning, the shipper fills them and they pick them up in the afternoon.
