OK here is my 2¢ NOTE, I am not a lawyer so don’t take this as being 100% correct. Contact a lawyer if you are unsure. Here is what my lawyer told me a while ago about a similar problem I had. If you did not sign it, you can not be held liable unless your actions result in a loss of business...

I am sorry if I am opening up a can of worms here but I have to post a reply. Look Whitewolf53, you are right that some should give some aid to us, but it will never happen. There are a lot of reasons for it, mainly because no one can afford to do so except the EU and they don’t want to help...

I have been trying to add a post to this thread and the other FSC thread for a while and I am really frustrated because of all the interruptions I have here at home. Look it is simple, any strike will hurt us. This is not the 1970’s and we ain’t the teamsters. Companies are unforgiving with...

Maybe I missed the answer to the question “If a o/o's contract doesn't specifically state that he should get the fuel surcharge, is it legal for the company to keep it?” Well here is my take on it. What is in the contract goes, outside of that there is no contractual obligation to give...

OK here is some advice. First is make sure you know what your load of all the devices you have on the inverter, how many WATTS the fridge, microwave and TV use separately and put them on paper. If you have only amp ratings, multiply that by 120 and it will give you watts. Don’t multiply that by...

RE: Will outfitting a Sprinter hurt load oportunit I thought I would have to build a complete movable bulkhead to use the space in a sprinter, but when I ended up getting my GMC CV, it dawned on me that I need only be concern with between the wheel wells when it comes to a load. So to add to...

MTRINC I just started in this expediting adventure with a cargo van and I really enjoy it. I too am planning on moving up to a D unit 8 to 12 months out, maybe longer and I plan on stretching a class 8 because of the longevity and economics of the vehicle. I have one on the sidelines (so to...

Well I have a cargo van and after considerable thought and planning I decided just to copy a successful design so I am building a bunk styled after Terry and Rene’s rig. Diesel Docs design gave me a bunch of great ideas about equipment I didn’t even think of. Terry and Rene have a solid floor...

Crazynuff, I don’t have any problems except Pilot and it is irritating. I do have to go through the DOT # thing at Shell at exit 156 on I-69 but I have been doing that for years with them when I go down to Indy and I always fill my pick up truck there. I will try the speedway gift card, every...

>I'm looking at a system for my new truck that has video >cameras and will let me monitor the cargo box, passenger >side, behind the truck or forward and also videotape if I >want to. Does that qualify for an exemption? I think if you would market it it would actually qualify. You know...

I was going to do this the first time I was back in town but my wife had me running too much before I went back out. Well I took everyone’s advice about how to get this all started the right way and now I am an expediter. I want to thank everyone for their help and comments, both negative and...

Yes and No. You probably already know how projections work and how to read a financial statement so please don’t be insulted. The idea is to figure your overall cost per mile for all operating expenses based on your actual mileage. In doing so, the Fuel, tires, and maintenance are considered...

They actually make a kit to renew the windshield. It has a pad that attaches to your drill and a really gooey paste. I used is when I was a fleet manager and it really worked well. I also used a highly refined alcohol to remove any thing that was on the glass for the cars that didn’t need...

Could you just imagine if the Congress went back to the tax structure (not the rate of course) of pre 1943? Maybe it is stupid to think that the complexity is really the problem not the rates? Please no consuption/goods or national sales tax. Actually what is fair about a tax?

some advice and my IT story Hey, IT? QA in IT? WOW Sorry for the long response. I hope this helps you but you may already know some of this so please don't be insulted. First as one IT professional to another, slow down. Unless you worked in the Pharma industry, you were most likely working...

Another informative and entertaining post I think that everyone has some very good points here and I want to add my opinion in. I will write this quickly. sorry if I am repeatitive. Business plan – yes needed. It shows your seriousness about becoming a business owner and your willingness...

Joer I have to add something about this. I used to arrange new car purchases for people, some who were elderly and I had to add pedal extentsions on the cars for the 4'8" ladies. The one thing that is really needed is some sort of surface that will prevent boots or shoes to slip off. just...

What I don’t get is the fuel distribution system that has the prices being raised after the fuel is in the ground. I argued with a station owner when he was raising the price of fuel just as I was paying for it. He admitted that the fuel in the ground was already paid for but because the...

>He may have Sleep Apnea, but if he does wouldn't that >disqualify him from driving? Just wondering? I don’t think it would, I haven’t read anything about Sleep Apnea in any regs, but I may have missed it reading too much. If you getting a full nights sleep and still feel tired, go to the...
