CoPilot Truck, a related product, shows most streets in Manhattan as truck-legal routes, which they are if you have a local delivery or pickup and use the local streets to get from a through truck route to your delivery address. But if you are using non-truck routes to just move about, you are...

I'm sorry. I don't catch your meaning. What do you mean by "comfortably numb in your career?"

EO runs the expedite section at MATS. The EO get together is there. Networking is easy to do. Move from booth to booth to introduce yourself and exchange cards. Stand in one place and strike up conversations with people passing by. There is a good chance they will share your expediting interest.

I don't see any alcohol listed on the Listerine label.

Does IronCondor refer to a favored trading strategy? Just curious. Welcome! Bummer about your back. I hope things work out well. Regarding your plans to start a new expediting business with your wife, you did not say why you wish to do so. What draws you to expediting? The shakeout is...

Our problems are over! See article.

Cerberus is a money management company -- some would call it a hedge fund -- with $27 billion under management, 7.5% of which is attributable to Chrysler. The Chrysler investment is a big loser for Cerberus. I believe the negotiations Cerberus's well-connected people had with government...

Have you thought about not using shelving? When acquiring equipment, our philosophy was: if we need it once, we will probably need it again, so buy it. It has been a long time since we needed to buy anything new, but the approach produced a larger collection of equipment than you see on most...

In good times and bad, the EO community is an important part of our lives. The conversations we have here help us feel more at home on the road. May peace, prosperity and good health be yours in this holiday season and the year to come.

Emphasis on "former" cop. From news reports, it seems the Utah State Patrol dumped this guy because he no longer made the grade. The first people motorists called when this guy was on the rampage was the police. It was the police that brought him to bay before the guy shot himself in the head.

I do not believe that blame for the crisis of choice (housing, financial, automotive, employment, etc.) can be fairly assigned to any one person, business segment (wall street, mortgage brokers, insurance companies, speculators, investment banks, savings banks, etc.), political leader, political...

The weather has been tough the last few days across large parts of the U.S. and Canada. Here's hoping that everyone who wanted to get home for he holiday's was able to safely do so.

Thank you. Looking at your linked source, you make my point. The source bills itself as the "Headquarters for the Conservative Underground." Skeptical here. This is not a source I would rely on to tell the truth about a complex situation. It is a source I would rely on to tell its truth and its...

Flying J in Chapter 11? Wow! I didn't see that one coming. From the article it sounds more like a short-term cash crisis than a long-term, terminal debt burden. I don't expect to see the Flying J truck stops closing their doors. I think fuel, showers and that yummy food will still be available.

Because the implication is also clearly made, and to this reader, the implication is more convincing than than the qualifying statement of "just guessing." The implication is consistent with other posts made by the writer. It is a common theme among some in the political spectrum. It...

1. What REALLY went on? 2. If an ordinary man on the street like you knows what REALLY went on, does it not stand to reason that most any other interested person could know too? What would a payoff accomplish? Let me guess, you know but cannot tell because powerful forces behind the scenes...

Only in an America where the competency of government has degenerated to that of a corrupt banana republic, and the people let it happen by re-electing the same clowns over and over again. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for an evil and evil is what you get.

Current temp at home is -15 F. Winds are calm. The truck is plugged in and the house is warm. We are home for Christmas but my heart is in Florida. I do not like the cold.

"In control" means different things to different people. Broompilot did not elaborate on the "In Control?" title he gave this thread. It seems to have something to do with net worth or the true value of material goods. IRT offers what "In Control" means for him. Our property-free, debt-free...

Home is two rooms and canoe storage space we rent on a relative's homestead. The arrangement is maintenance free for us which frees us to stay out as long as we wish. Our housing costs are rent payments, not house payments. Rent is fair market value but because we rent such little space and have...
