Yo Dave, Whatcha doin' in the median. Did the four wheeler in the background stop to help? Great looking cover LM, looking forwar to the real thing in my PO box.

Well said Preacher. Count me among your followers who agree with your position. The Salvation Army has long been one of my favorite charities due to their high value deeds to a great number of people and their low overhead. Terry

I just received my annual Road Warrior Club Card which provides a 15% discount for food and beverage at any HMSHost travel plaza on the following turnpikes: Atlantic City Expressway, Maryland TPKE, Delawar TPKE, New jersey TPKE, Florida TPKE, New York State Thruway...

NB: I've thought of the rollers in the past, particularly after seeing the setup at FEDEX terminal in Indy. I discounted them for a van, as the thickness of the floor would leave you a little short on a 4' tall skid. My urethaned Baltic Birch floor is not slippery because I spray silicone...

RH: Done. Thanx for the heads-up. The Major want to get back in the biz. I sure hope someone signs him. Terry

Geo: I've had better performance from two chevys than from two ford power strokes. So far, I don't have the faith necessary to invest $32,000+ for a bare bones Sprinter. Of all the 'honest' comments I've seen and heard, the pro does not outweigh the con for me. The Sprinter just hasn't proved...

that clears it up for me

A BLONDE woman goes to the post office to buy stamps for Christmas. She says to the clerk, "May I have 50 Christmas stamps?" The clerk says, "What denomination?" The woman says, "God help us. Has it come to this? Give me 6 Catholic, 12 Presbyterian, 10 Lutheran and 22 Baptists.

You'd think the Driving test, Hazmat test, air brake test, drug test alcohol test and need to memorize regulations from each of the states would cause the elevation of our status to, at the very least, semi-skilled labor.

Tom's post is one of the best I've read in my short tenure at this site. Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa. I have long held the belief that each of us promotes our respective company in the best possible light during frequent "truck stop coffee sessions". Heaven forbid that anyone would admit to have...

We've bought three vans since 1992 and had each of them outfitted with a high-top after purchase. The first by the now defunct "Malibu Van Conversions" in St Louis and the last two by "Osage" in Linn, Mo. The initial cost ($1800, $2200 and $3000 successively) and slight loss in fuel ecomomy...

When my German wife (yeh, Rene's a German) does something foolish, she often reminds me with one of her favorites: "that's why we lost the war"

Preacher: Congrats on your choice. Sounds like a no-brainer to me but it begs the question...is a hotshotter a professional:-] Good luck with the venture

what is the flat rate for the various sized trucks? If it's not at least the equal to the average pay of your revenue miles now, will any benefits offset a lower payment? I suspect a carrier would only go the flat rate method of payment if they realized a cost avoidance or a cost saving for...

Vegas: We've been in a van, leased to the same company, since 1989 and we've done as well as we need, financially and lifestylewise. Your specific question can't be answered as asked, because we don't know your requirements. How much money is enough? How much time at the house do you need...

Be sure to tell her "I meant it the nicest possible way" Terence

I had two of these workhorses, '92 and '96, and averaged slightly over 18 mpg on each while most of my contemporaries averaged 22+. The reason, I believe, for my lower than avg fuel ecomomy was my addition of an after market high top, 3 1/2 sheets of plywood, two large deep-cycle batteries and...

Jimbo: We haven't been to an auto assembly plant in quite a while so I can't answer you specific question for the problems today. In the past we've not had a problem with auto folks unloading us in order of our turn. We occasionaly find a non-ramp situation at other companies and if we can...

WWE: I Didn't say the average skid was 48x48x48. I said a cube was described as 48x48x48 and that a standard B load was two cubes. Perhaps I should have added "or equivalent" because we often get pallets of cartons taller than our opening of 47". With the customers permission, we breakdown...
