    How much time?

    Excellent! Thank you for everyone's responses. LDB, I missed saying that the skids would be like 4' tall also, so that's the piece you're missing, sorry. :o Nightcreacher, what would you charge according to your summary? Sounds like I'll be looking at $1200-$1500 (in USD of course, which...

    How much time?

    Can anyone tell me an approximate length of time it would take to move 360 pallets (standard size, stackable, not heavy) from one location to another location one mile away? I'm assuming that would be 9 truckloads of 40 pallets each (20 spots stacked)? Assume that the forklift driver on each end...

    Reading the Help Wanted Ads on Expediters

    MissKat, I'm sorry to hear about your misfortune. With all due respect, you seem to have taken eb's post the wrong way. I was very interested to hear your answer to it. The reason is just as eb states, for some reason, it seems, at least to me, and now I see that at least one person sees the...

    If you want governent HC this is what you risk getting..

    This thread is not about 'ending a life', it is about a failure to bring someone back to life. We do not kill people over here just because our healthcare is available to all. We do pay for said healthcare, it is not free. Doctors are held to a code of ethics, just as they are over your way...

    If you want governent HC this is what you risk getting..

    I believe DNR means exactly what it says, 'do not resuscitate', if you die (stop breathing, heart stops, brain dies), we will not bring you back to life.

    Feedback: LDB's Experimental thread

    To me, in my mind, it seems a little rude and crabby. It's kind of like saying.. hey I only asked you for a one-word-answer as to which truckstop you prefer, but you idiot, you went and added in your two cents, which I'm totally not interested in! OTOH, I can see why people might want that...

    If you want governent HC this is what you risk getting..

    I think everyone should stop jumping on the media band wagon. We don't know the whole story. There could be many (valid) reasons as to why this happened. People should know that things are just not as bad as some would have you think. The medical practitioners here are ALL about people's...

    Will you be hiring your drivers as employees or contractors?

    60 / 40 or 40 / 60 ??

    That just sounds nuts to me. If you're going to pay for accounting services, you might as well pay for someone who knows the business without having to learn it at your expense, or farm parts of it out to other experts who you could have farmed it out to yourself. Perhaps you won't like her...

    As with all things financial, and like I have said many times, one must be sure they are comparing exact apples to exact apples. Is Guido using the 'empty miles' provided by his carrier on his settlement statement? Or is he using the actual mileage from his odometer? Two totally different...

    My diet progress...

    Hey this is really cool! And I have a great idea! There are so many of you it seems.. all doing different things with the same end goal.. How about starting a 'group' or something.. with 'before and after' photos.. and a description of the diet you're on, or that you did to achieve the...

    Hey Col, nightcreature is looking for a Co. Can you imagine? Two hard-to-get-along-with men (aka curmudgeons) in one truck! :D

    my game plan.what do you vanners think?

    I must admit I find it quite amusing to read all the things that people pretend don't exist, or pretend certain things are not really an expense of the business, so therefore, don't count it. Others count things into their business expenses when they're clearly not. When we really WANT...

    WIFI on the truck

    I hope you get a trip to Canada so you can check it out before your month is up! On the bright side.. when I used that technology (just over 2 years ago), I found that I complained a whole lot LESS about my internet speed, even though I was anticipating it would be worse than DSL or cable. I got...

    WIFI on the truck

    I couldn't see anything about Canada coverage. I would like to check out whether things have changed (they probably have), but I used to have that kind of 'portable internet' and it would work anywhere... except it worked as a cellphone would... I might have been able to connect, however I'd be...
