Very impressive, 21cExp. You take the paid tourism aspect of expediting to a high level. Diane and I like to think we have seen the country. Reading your post, I realize that when we leave expediting, we are going to wish we saw the country with the effort, perception and insight you do.

Re: New Blog: Looking Booth Ways! That will be a good blog to read, but I did not know John went both ways.

For the same reason that when you are working on your truck and drop something, and there is a 50 percent chance it will roll down the storm drain, it will roll down the drain 100 percent of the time.

The post was not "in sarcasm." I'm simply calling it like I see it. Rude? That was not the intent but if it comes across that way, so be it. No one is going to lose 100 lbs. who eates the food Blizzard describes and talks about eating as much of it as he wants as often as he wants. Call it...

I'm not one to give up so easily. Translating hours of service logs into music is intriguing. Yes, a single day's log might not produce much but it might be interesting to see what happens when you play a few days in a row or use two instruments to play two days at the same time. This would not...

You're either going to do it or you're not. Your posts talk more about food than weight loss strategies, revealing where your mind and heart are, and leading me to believe that you will not lose the weight. Your fat will likely get you before you get it. Indeed, it has a major head start. Sorry.

But if you tell, it won't be a secret any more.

I don't know why it took ten years in the business for this question to come to mind. I've looked at logs thousands of times. For expediters who are musically inclined, has it ever occurred to you to view your logs as music? They could be transposed, could they not? There are four lines that...

I agree, and the same is true for each person's present circumstances. Few domains in life get more personal and more individual than health and fitness. What someone is right now and wants (and does not want) to be in the future is as unique to the person as anything can be. But the bad news...

Given that choice, I would have taken the Michigan load too. El Paso is not always difficult to get out of, but when it is, you are a long, long way from any other express center. Look at the map. If you were in El Paso and needed to deadhead someplace else, where would you go and how far would...

That's all true, but I don't see a lot of world champion body builders and best-shape athletes lining up to be truck drivers. This is not about them. This is about government entities, insurance companies and employers increasing their control over your body and, if you are overweight...

Maybe, but that's not the point of my post. There are lots of ways to lose weight without joining a fitness club. For overweight truckers, it may soon become essential to lose that weight.

Most EO Open Forum members have at least heard talk about how medical standards for truck drivers may change. This news story, "CVS Pharmacy Wants Worker's Health Information, or They'll Pay a Fine," is not about truckers but it illustrates a developing trend. People in power are increasingly...

That may be true but it neither does it mean that the person saying no understands or cares about what was said.

[/LEFT] Linda, This is not the first time you have had direct contact with Ms. Ferro through your Trucking Solutions Group. And it is not the first time expediters here in the EO Open Forum have voiced important opinions about the FMCSA and how their rulemaking processes and rule changes are...

This article is about health care insurance challenges for people who retire early. It is also applicable to people who leave jobs with benefits to become self-employed expediters.

I do not know this club or the people who own it, but a look at the club web site and its Facebook page tells me that these club owners have it going on. You are right about the parking. While the size of the club is smaller than many AF locations, Wadsworth is a small town and small towns do...

New bumper stickers for the Mayfield fleet: Dave Mayfield, CSI; Keeping Lot Lizards Honest

I did not see this. It was reported to Diane and me by the man in question. He sleeps in the nude and cares deeply about his truck. One night, while he was asleep in his truck sleeper, another truck backed into his. The bump was enough to jolt the truck but the damage was minor. Either seeing...
