Congratulations...could this be another EO forum member?

In a former life, when I commuted to St Louis, I had an arrangement with a nearby church that allowed me to park there for a monthly 'donation' I paid about half that charged by the commercial garage. Perhaps a similar arrangement could be made with a Chicago church, particularly one with a...

It's not a trucking company thing, it's an employer thing. Your work history, credit history, driving history and criminal/non-criminal background all provide a prospective employer a measure of your character and potential as the type of person with which they would like to have on the...

RE: Need recomendations for required cargo control Depends. What types of freight does your carrier typically haul? Do you habdle a lot of pieces where you'd need a two wheel dolly? Will you need a specialty dolly. Rachet straps and cinch straps are always required. A couple of D rings for...

We often chill at the mall at the intersection of 90 and 290. Good eateries, shopping and just plain lurking.

During the past couple of years I have observed my Garmin miles, Odometer miles (less fuelin n eatin stop miles) and Qualcomm run offer miles to be inceredibly close, so close, plus or minus, that it's a non-issue with us. As mentioned above, the law of averages usually settles things...

Subject: Professional Athletes Speaking Out... 1. Chicago Cubs outfielder Andre Dawson on being a role model: "I wan' all dem keeds to do what I do, to look up to me. I wan' all the keeds to copulate me." 2. New Orleans Saint RB George Rogers when asked about the upcoming season:"I...

This thread started out asking what makes Panther the largest company. Essentially, was it fleet size or revenues. It doesn't matter whether Panther or FedEx Custom Critical is the largest, or that they carry freight that started out as general freight. Each company, in it's own right, is...

I was out of service for 28 days during your July thru November timeframe and received 31% less revenue during November than in July as compared to your 23% reduction. Fuel costs less so FSC is less. My van receives far less FSC, as a percentage, than in July. Another reason for the reduction...

A Marine colonel on his way home from work at the Pentagon came to a dead halt in traffic and thought to himself, "Wow, this traffic seems worse than usual. Nothing's even moving." He notices a police officer walking back and forth between the lines of cars so he rolls down his window and asks...

These "hot Shot" folks often carry cars, boats, small RV's, boat trailers and the like. Quite often this is one-way work, but the savvy drivers have a network whereby they serve regular customers coming and going. Some are truly indepentent and others are leased as independent contractors with...

Too Tall Turner From Tennessee, (may he RIP) was a 7' Roberts Express O/O and Express America driver.

Nice plate Joe. Any other good ones out there, beside joe and mine of course?

Please save us from the good people. The definition of work places within that Ohio law includes vehicles with which work is being performed. I sure hope the police don't just narrow in on freight hauling trucks, but also include police cars, construction vehicles, all government vehicles...

Moot: If you bring the laptop along the mouse should work great in the van. hehehe

As the brits would say, "that's a bloody good idea"

RE: 16' box truck, door opening/deck height? comfo Your wood decking, if needed, wood for sleeper is 100# minimum. E-track, straps, load bars, CB, office supplies and a fixture to stow them, another 100#. You and your wife a gentle 300# +/-. Clothing for a couple of weeks, laundry supplies...

RE: 16' box truck, door opening/deck height? comfo Just a guess. Your cutaway may have a GVWR of <10,000 but your curb weight will be about 7000+ after you outfit it for driving, sleeping and a co-driver. If I'm right you'll be limited in weight to less than 3000#. I'd suggest you take your...
