>3. A well-defined set of goals that focus our efforts and >explain why we are out there in the first place. Whoa Phil, sometimes you have to deviate from the script. Try adlibbing more often. It is just life after all.

Hey Cheri, It's a roadrunner not a loon! Keep trying. But I still like the loon. I mean roadrunner.

The "gold standard" pallet is a 48" x 40" four-way pallet. This is the most commonly used and traded pallet. Those blue CHEP pallets are 48 x 40. Many shippers use their own size pallet. 3M uses at least 2 odd size pallets. Some shippers use any P.O.S. pallet they have laying around. So if...

My uneducated guess is that about 70% of Panther's business is within the United States. The remaining 20% to 30% is Canadian with a majority of that being inbound to Canada. My first week with Panther I was parked next to another Panther van that was under the no Canada contract. I had been...

I didn't realize Sprinters were so light. My Chevy tips the scales at 7100#. It might be time for a good cleaning and a diet.

I somehow got on for free at the J in South Beloit, Ill. I have had my laptop for about a month so I am still experimenting. Some hotels, bookstores, coffee shops and Mcdonalds have free access. Cheri is an expert on free wireless accesss and lurking. I'm sure she will add to this post when...

Another nice thing about credit cards is that the holder is only liable for the first $50 of fraudulent charges. So don't get sucked into buying insurance to protect your card.

The following information is at least 10 years old so I don't know if these devices are still on the market. Oil drain plug with a spring loaded valve and nipple for tubing used for taking oil samples. Secondary oil pump that pressurizes the engine sending oil to the top of the block before...

What's all this talk about mackerel 8?

Maybe the blue twin is the red twin I saw in Montana with some oxygen problems.

The industry standard is 48" long x 40" wide. This is also called a standard 4-way. Three 4-way pallets turned sideways will occupy just over 120" or 10 feet. Be sure to have a chain or tow strap to pull the pallets to the rear for unloading.

My Swiss Army Knife. Now the TSA lady has it. Corkscrew and all. so sad. Oh well!

I'm no lady but I do listen to books on cd. I even listen to "ladies" books like Janet Evonvich's "Stephanie Plum" series. I get all my books on cd (previously books on tape) from my library. I'm home often enough so it works for me. Even with a 3 week check out time and a 2 week renewal I...

I agree with hedgehog. If you can manage money then find a credit card that pays you for using it. And never carry over a balance.

RE: Why is ATEAM the only member you can't post fe Bring back the Bobble Heads!

Yeah, what they said! What ever happened to that short lived piece on bobblehead dolls. Seems like a good time to revive that one.
