    More CSA Blues; This Time Affecting Major Expedite Carriers

    Terry's title is Field Safety Liaison, which is exactly how you stated it in the thread you started in 2010 regarding a fair warning to White Glove dog owners. I believe Terry does a pretty righteous job not only being a face for FedEx in the field (in which is otherwise a mostly no-face-contact...

    No Home Base?

    There are only some insurance and investment products that are not open to the general public. Everything else is. Been with them since 1985. I know a certain retired Coast Guard fella who also used to drive a cargo van, that's been with USAA since 1967. Strong, well-run bank. Doing my...

    Pet transport

    MissKat does it or has connections, I believe. Either a pm to her, or to Bruno. I'm sure has her digits. Sorry to hear about the diagnosis.

    Huh? He left $600 on the table, and bent over backwards to save face....for Panther. I think he did his job....and then some.

    Laredo/Mexico

    We drove across, in Laredo, en route to Monterrey in 2006. The other poster's got it right....no place for a solo gringo.

    Replacing Mercedes MB900 Engine in M2-106

    $22,303.84 Downtime of 47 days.... that costs, too. My advice: Find a Detroit shop, not FL dealer, and order it today. No, scratch that.....YESTERDAY. Most of our downtime was waiting for engine to arrive. Let me know if i can help further.

    If even the badge lickers defend thus, America is dead

    For the most part (and I have a tough time saying it), I'm with Monger on this deal. One of the benchmarks of any law enforcement agency's use of force policy should be something along the lines of a one-plus-one theory, which usually starts out with verbal or visual identification of an...

    FEDEX CC White Glove D unit.

    Fair enough. Let's do this: You came here looking for advice. Two years after you pull the trigger on this deal, will you come back and share exactly how it's gone for you? If this truly is a place to learn, how about sharing what has or hasn't worked for you with some FedEx CC experience...

    FEDEX CC White Glove D unit.

    Not sure I'd lay out that much cash or borrow that much money unless you have gobs of it to burn. Not trying to be a jerk, but i'd learn tons more about the business first. You're splitting the revenue pie lots of ways in a niche you know little about. You could get hurt real easy, financially.

    Hot but fun.

    Took ours last night onto Lake Michigan off Grand Haven. Grandson landed his first king; granddaughter landed a nice steelhead. Fish or no, sure beat a good day's work. Sunset on the big lake made it all worthwhile.

    New Exctr. rules and F.S.C.

    To be fair, I don't think a 'southern' layover has ever been an option in the western provinces. Edmonton delivery was always an Edmonton layover. That usually was no good, unless we started pulling oil tankers. It was explained to us once that pricing for those customers had that built in.

    mbe headaches again, 3rd time

    Don't count on it. Ours is in the shop for that issue plus a few others now. Our reman engine's warranty is 100k/one year. Picked it up 1/19/13. Warranty should be finished in a little more than a month from now.

    California Scales and prepass

    Well, somewhat. Just opened a letter from Prepass on Friday about this very issue. The algorithm changed from CSA to the changeover to CSA-ISS (?), which raised the company score enough to guarantee a red light every time in Cali now. A couple other states changed also, but not to 100%. If i...
