There is nothing sad about it, oh well more plants closing less work for us. Look if Ford is to survive, they have to do it without the top heavy manufacturing processes. They already use some of the Japanese/Asian manufacturing in Europe, but can’t bring their manufacturing process up to...

You know I have to defend Phil sometimes, he has a lot of good stuff in his posts but there are a couple things that bother me every once in a while like now; Phil’s statement; “It is also true that we've run just three loads month to date and we've probably earned more money in that time...

Cheri, With all the miles I put on vehicles, I only replace front wheel bearings once – 1973 dodge van because of failure but I have restored a lot of cars and know that it is not easy to screw up a pair of bearings. The thing that comes to my mind is that they did not clean the spindle or...

Sorry to pee on your parade but I got to add something here. You all know it is great to hear about the history of EO and some of the world of expediting, but got to tell you a quick history, two maybe three pages is really the best thing and have the hall of fame people tell their own story...

Outlandish, ok - I guess. Mr. smarty pants, wow thanks! By the by I have been on the road and back already. It is slow and I am trying a new thing today – doubt it will work but got to try. Well for the sake of everyone I am going to only reply to the budget stuff and move on. Ok the...

Well my truck idled a lot – too much for me but I had to stay warm. I got used to idling the truck in January, but because it would go into a cold engine cycle, I would eat up fuel. I figured that if I was 250 miles or less from home, it was cheaper for me to go home than to sit over the...

Leo, T-Hawk - point well taken. Well I got to tell you, telling them would not be on my list of things to do when my van is inspected in November. If they ask, well I guess I deal with it when the time comes. I still am undecided what to get - big honkin 12 volt batteries or eqaully big 6...

>Clever idea! You might want to get cleared with FedEx >before undertaking this project though. Thanks for all the replies. Moot, that is going to be the big problem, I think this may be something where I ask and get 10 different answers.

OK I have a bit of a problem with weight and want to add a pair of batteries and a/c. this would add 150lbs onto my van and put me over the weight restrictions I have with FedEx. After searching EO for the thread discussing the 400 lb exemption – which I could not find – I decided to...

Moot, you answered why, “most states registration fees increase dramatically above the 10,000# thresholdâ€. It is all about the Benjamins.

It is not whether you agree with me or not, my question is simple; do you support people breaking the law and all the problems related to looking the other way when they do or would you rather support legal immigration where these people get a fair chance to make a good living in our country and...

I read the press release yesterday about the new planned mission to the moon to crash a rocket to kick up dust to examine if there are water particles below the surface of the moon. This is the second attempt at this, with the first being a $125M failure. Mind you that in 1961, President...

I honestly think that this is a perfect illustration of two sides and their differing opinions. Tallcal101 you are so wrong. It is our war, there is no such thing as your war, his war or my cat’s war – you belong to this country hence you share in the responsibilities for it equally as a...

I get all kinds of different questions from people when I stop about what expediting is and what I actually do. I tolerate some questions that are dumb and try to help them out but a lot of times I give a smart a** answer. What company do you work for? Mind you I am next to my truck that says...
