    Dry run and Dwell time

    Dry run and Dwell time

    When you say "we" who do you mean? It could mean a change from dwell time that begins when you check into an express center to dwell time that begins when you deliver, wherever you happen to be. "Time from Last Load" could begin immediately and the clock could pause while you were out of...

    E-Book reader, anyone?

    Diane and I made our selection at a Best Buy store where the Kindle, Nook, Sony and at least one other e-reader are on display side by side in a special display placed at the front of the store. We could hold each device in our hands to guage the look and feel. We reviewed the product...
