    Rene' and I believe in miracles and we are so pleased that you and your family have experienced a great outcome to a terrible experience. Our very best wishes for a full recovery and a return to normalcy for all concerned. Terry and Rene'

    Tri State's No Forced Dispatch Rule

    I would venture a guess that every expedite carrier has a refusal policy whereby an owner or driver will be penalized to some degree for refusing loads. Highway Runner's carrier seems to be among the harshest with a 12 hour out of service for refusal policy. Other carriers will send you to the...

    A Barrel of Monkeys

    Prof: In addition to securing the drums to the cross brace, I would lay a length of 2x4 across the tops of two drums, fasten a ratchet strap to the deck, thence across the top of the 2x4 and fasten other end to the floor e-track and honk down on the strap.

    Louisville Truck Show Stats

    Rene' and I each wished it could have been 80,293 in attendance, but can there be any doubt that EO members and the Expedite Experience drew a fair percentage of the total gate? Kudos to Lawrence and the EO staff, and the EO sponsors and advertisers that make expediting an experience. Terry...

    THE HELL TEST

    A 139 indicates I personified the life of a sailor in the orient, the south Pacific and elsewhere. What's a young man to do when surrounded by a bevy of Asian and Polenesian beauties.

    Birthday! What Does Your Birthday Mean?

    We don't have a lawn; we live in our van, down by the river.

    chevy 2500 fuel milage.

    My 2000 Chev 3500, 5.7, with turtle top still gets 15 mpg after 550,000 mi. Every 100,000 I've replaced plugs, wire harness, distributer cap and coil. Short of a good tune-up, you might review your driving habits to see if a fuel saving could be gained there. Got a teen-ager nearby that might...

    auxillary battery

    Moot: I'm using a couple of 600 CCA deep cycle batteries from COSTCO. They have a pretty good return policy and they're cost effective. I've always replaced them both at the same time because any fault in one could prematurely degrade the other. I have no scientific data to support this...

    Engineers' Conversion Table

    Engineers' Conversion Table This is pretty heavy scientific stuff......converting units: 1. Ratio of an igloo's circumference to its diameter = Eskimo Pi 2. 2000 pounds of Chinese soup = Won ton 3. 1 millionth of a mouthwash = 1 microscope 4. Time between slipping on a peel and smacking the...

    Rene'

    The power of the positive thinking and prayer by so many of our fellow EO members and others in the expedite community has surely contributed to the successful surgical removal of Rene's cancers. The initial pathology report of two removed axillary lymph nodes has indicated that the cancer had...

    New FedEx service

    On the surface it actually sounds like more freight opportunities, because of customer retention, by the provision of a menu of products that can meet the needs of any customer. Since the time that Roberts Express was acquired by FedEx, Custom Critical has pretty much been operated as a...

    auxillary battery

    I can't answer your question regarding the cause of the alternator failure, but I can tell you that I have a 135a alternator in my chev van and it's charging two deep cycle batteries thru a solenoid. I recently replaced the alternator after about 500,000 miles. I've had three other vans with...

    New FedEx service

    I think the 50% increase in freight for FedEx Custom Critical that Teamcaffee said was in regard to freight in the area of the FedEx hub terminals and not nationwide. All of the FedEx Operating Companies in the Surface Expedite Network (SEN) will stand to gain market share when this initiative...

    New FedEx service

    Targard: Look at the bigger picture than that which you posted. If a customer calls FedEx Custom Critical for a quote on moving 4 skids cross country and his budget can't handle the $7000 price tag for a door to door, time sensitive shipment, he'll likely call a "cheap freight" competitor and...

    Rene'

    RAtwell: Thanx for asking and praying. All our prayers have been answered; the issue with her kidneys is resolved and she'll be operated on at noon, Monday the 27th. I'll post the news of a successful operation when we get her home after a brief stay. The dozens of cards and letters Rene'...

    Paying for service or breakdowns

    The last time I paid attention to their policy, FedEx Custom Critical would load, upon request, up to 40% (30% for vans) of the trucks run revenue onto the owners Comdata account, after a load was picked up. Any requests to advance more money than the 40% would be considered on a case by case...

    heel4you: In addition to redytrk's suggestion, tell us the name of the company to which you are leased, so that our members can advise you on their interpretation of your company's Qualcomm features. Terry

    Deciding who to run for/with

    Try asking your owner for a reference needed by your next owner. Perhaps he'll then get off the pot and give you a truck. If he gives you a reference, you'll know where you stand.
