This was my first Expo, and I was thoroughly impressed. Not only was it much bigger than I expected, it was much more organized than I expected. It was a genuine treat and a real honor to meet Lawrence, Jeff, and Dale, as well as the other great people here from EO. I tip my hat to you all.

Power Service's Diesel Kleen got a significant boost when Wal-Mart officials said it contributed to a small improvement in fuel economy when tested in their fleet of more than 7,000 tractors. In 2005, Wal-Mart pledged to work with truck makers to double the fuel efficiency of its trucks from 6.5...

Actually, Rino linings are more rubbery, things don't slide all that well on it. A Line-X lining is harder and slicker, and things will slide around on it much easier. Rhino’s Tuff Stuff goes on cold/low pressure and will have that “cottage cheese†or “rain on the windshield†look, and...

On my old Ford I had that Shimmy, Shimmy Ko-Ko Bop. Installed new shocks and that Shimmy it went stop. Monroe Reflex Shocks and Struts Monroe Sensa-Trac Shocks and Struts Monroe Gas-Magnum Shocks are all warranted for life when used on private passenger cars and light duty trucks under...

They claim it right there on their ad on the Home Page of this site, as well as in their ad in the latest Expedite Now magazine. Greg, maybe they're including all the companies that Fenway Partners controls, like RoadLink, Greatwide Logistics, Targus (laptop accessories), Easton Bell (helmets...

It was fun meeting Lawrence and Jeff, and listening to Terry's best Public Address voice over the loudspeaker (hehe). Oh, and I got to meet 2/3 of Team Caffee!!...Bob and the dog. :D

I installed Koni shocks and struts on my Sprinter. It's detailed, along with a ton of unrelated stuff, here: http://www.expeditersonline.com/dcforum/DCForumID16/1814.html Problem with Monroe shocks, which are good shocks, is that have to be replaced about every 60,000 miles. Koni's are...

LOL No. Music major here. Go figure. I dunno. Scientists have shown that the moon is moving away at a tiny yet measurable distance from the earth every year. If you do the math, you can calculate that 85 million years ago the moon was orbiting the earth at a distance of about 35 feet...

I've found that, for the most part, you really don't want the freight sliding around all that much. hehe I was gonna use plastic for the deck, but I've seen plastic get pretty chewed up, too. A small pebble or piece of metal that falls under a skid, for example, can make a real mess out of...

Well, first thing you should do is insulate it like crazy. Plan on about 5 days to do it. Yeah, I know. Then consider a Fan-Tastic Fan Vent or some other type of air vent. Then concentrate on the freight side of things. E-Track, plywood deck. Do you want e-track on the walls? Carry a couple...

"...therefore, there was no invasion of privacy." Maybe not, but it sure violates the spirit of it. It is clear that he did not want his real name associated with that user name, for whatever reason. He certainly has that right. It's more than a little disturbing that a moderator would do this...

I dunno... unless hanceh's real name was already publicly available to all EO members, well... I mean, did Terry or another moderator, or moderators, do a little research and put the two together, and then post the name? Thaaaaaat's a dangerous slope. :'(

It's just a load. <shrug> There'll be more where that one came from. Other than when I took off to do the shelves and other stuff, I rarely am out of service and take time off. I figure the information and knowledge gained at the Expo will pay me back far more than running the 1472 miles would have.

A couple of days ago, when I was in SC, I mentioned to dispatch that I was planning on going to the Expo. Next day I got a load to Shelbyville, between Louisville and Lexington. Dropped off Thursday morning, and immediately got a load offer from Louisville to El Paso, pick up Thursday, deliver...

Which is more important, who wrote it, or what was written? If someone wants to post an opinion anonymously, that's their choice, and I'm sure they have their own reasons for doing so. IMHO, that doesn't make their opinion any less valid or unworthy of respect. I may not agree with your bumper...

As I have never even met him, far be it from me to speak for Terry, and I dare not presume to do so, but in all the reading that I have done on these boards, I cannot recall a single instance where Terry has actually defended anything his carrier has done or said. Above all else, IMHO, Terry...

From the original press release... http://www.con-way.com/PressClub/2006_RELEASES/06July24.html SAN MATEO, CA - July 24, 2006 -- Con-way Inc. (NYSE: CNW) announced today it had executed an agreement with Panther Expedited Services, Inc. for Panther to purchase the expedited freight...

Just found some good information here: http://www.getnitrogen.org They have some articles from various publications, as well as some videos that people should see. The videos are small, short, and one is of a Discovery Channel spot, and the others are of local news stories, one in Mentor and...

Oh, absolutely :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOzG7bBylRo

RE: Mexico-domiciled trucking companies Pilot Prog I saw one of them last week in Houston, on a tanker hauling flammable HAZMAT (didn't think to note the number), and another one 2 days ago on I-75 northbound in KY, a van trailer. It's my understanding that most (which may not be the case too...
