Having driven the truck Rich drove for ten years, I hope he does not get the bends when he climbs into the tricked truck for the first time. Just kidding. Have fun, Rich and Congratulations, Lawrence and crew!

TeamCafe, I was not talking about you personally. Please do not take my post personally. My point, made badly it seems, is simply that if accountant A looks at a tax return prepared by accountant B, there will almost certainly be tax-strategy alternatives that accountant A can present that...

Great Falls, Montana. In service, waiting for a load offer. Delivered here yesterday (Friday) from central California.

It is always best to have an accountant that you feel comfortable with. It is also the case that most any accountant can do better than another by looking at a prior tax return and re-doing it in a way that treats expenses and deductions differently, but still legal. Depreciatiion calculations...

Thank you, RichM for sharing this information. Partners in Business is one of the best online resources there is for people seeking information about truck business planning. The price is right too. Online, it is free! The publication is jointly published by Overdrive magazine and American...

Anytime anything new emerges into a field of endeavor, or a shift in a way of doing business occurs, the established players tend to say it is not a threat. It is human nature to resist change. Pooh-poohing changes as they occur before your eyes is one form of that resistance. Virtually...

Murphy sure can make things >worse, but I always keep a positive attitude, and know that >eventually things can get better. Things can also get worse, in which case a positive attitude will make you one of the happiest people to ever fail at expediting. And in your case, you are not just...

I apologize too. It was only after we were assured the Panther drivers were OK that I commented on Rich's liability item and I was one of the first to express concern about those folks in a post of my own and in this thread. Nevertheless, I was insensitive and apologize.

Received from Janice today (Thursday). Unbelievable! Glen is home now. He was probably released a bit too soon, but he has stabilized, all IV's had been removed and medication can now be administered orally, The other piece of good news is preliminary findings of the biopsy indicate the tumor...

RE: Expedited Frieght: New Industries and Location danielsf, Will your work be presented as a paper? Will it be publicly available or archived in a library where others might access it? If it is, I believe a number of Open Forum members would be intrested in reading it.

Diane, an attorney, agrees with RichM; provided that the facts of the case turn out to be in line with what is reported in this thread (media reports are not always accurate). You can be sure that a number of lawyers are already trying to work their way into this multi-year, career-maker...

Here is the latest update from Janice: Glen's surgery was a week ago today. We've experienced a lot of ups and downs, which is to be expected with any major surgery. Glen's been feeling a lot better yesterday and today, so we're believing that we're on the uphill climb. He has been moved...

A five-fatality, 13-vehicle crash (actually a series of crashes) occured on the Florida Turnpike this morning. News video shows a straight-truck expediter was involved. Current news reports do not mention that driver or drivers among the injured or killed but reports are not complete. This...

Diane and I have driven trucks with both kinds of doors. Rollup is our choice for the reasons stated above and several additional reasons too. Regarding tall freight, with our carrier (FedEx) there ain't that much of it to worry about missing a load here or there. When we had swing doors, I do...

Glen called from the hospital around 12:30 p.m EDT today (Tuesday). He is making his calls with the cell phone Janice brings in. Glen sounded 100% better than when he called on Sunday. He was able to shave himself this morning. His vision has been blury and he is starting to read a little bit...

RE: FedEx Representatives Address Open Forum Topic My web site is a hobby. I plink away at at as my time and interest permit. There is no time frame for taking the blog concept live. Doing so means adding blogware to the site, which is a project not yet started. For now, I'm simply pulling...
