Cub, sorry to hear things didn't work out for you. Wish you success in your current and future endeavors. I consider that I've been doing pretty good - considering that it is January (my first in the expediting business) Last week wasn't so hot - I only had two loads - but it wasn't...

Echo .... echo ........ echo ....... :)

Well I dunno about "don't need no stinkin' contractors" .... Word I had (as of a few months ago) was that the growth of the Fedex Ground system had evolved to a point where it was cannabalizing Fedex Express' core business - overnight package deliveries. Word was that Ground had hit Express...

If you have a "Heater Booster" on your Sprinter, it is an Espar Hydronic unit. It is located, just forward of and below, the starting battery. You can tell if you have one by looking into the left front wheelwell and seeing if you can see a small squarish muffler - that's the Espar's exhaust...

Terry, Were you stationed up there ? Kodiak ? I had a friend that I went to highschool with, that was stationed on Kodiak for awhile, as well as in Oregon somewhere before he retired. I spent some time up there on a factory trawler (the Browns Point, Golden Age Fisheries) ...

Yeah I caught it at some point last year ..... totally insane ! I'd have a hard time driving it with myself at the wheel .... let alone trusting someone else .... alot of people down there don't have any other choice tho' I guess.

It's holding at a steady 9 degrees here just south of Akron. I changed my oil & filter last night .... that was a real treat :( ..... open quart of oil, tip it up so it pours in and run back into the house while it drains. :D I gotta go do the fuel filter in a little bit .... hopefully the...

Well our scenario was ..... none of the above. We purchased the vehicle (for commercial purposes) out of state, in West Virginia. We had the option of the WVA dealer charging us Ohio sales tax ...... or not ....... since the State of Ohio only requires that any sales tax that is due be paid at...

Nothing the matter with being honest .... in my opinion it's the only way to operate ..... but as a matter of public relations pushing the fact that you are small and have limited resources isn't the thing you ought be sticking under the customer's nose. It just isn't good PR - you are far...

Any particular one ? :D

I came home to Akron from Indy last night .... was the closest I've been for the last two weeks and I needed to do some truck maintenance. Now I just gotta get off the couch and do it. :D The temp is 20 and it feels like 4 with the wind. :eek:

Maybe you're calling the wrong recruiters or wrong company. :D

Hmmmm .... Obsidian ...... that sounds like a good cup. Does it pour - or do ya hafta scoop it out ?

While this is generally true - particularly if you leased to a carrier - it is less true perhaps, if you have your own authority - since you are getting a 100% of the revenue - as opposed to 60% or thereabouts or a per mile rate that represents less than the total invoice for each haul. I...

As I posted in another thread, last week (first week in service after the holidays) was my highest-ever since I started back in March of '07. Probably more the luck of the draw than anything - right place, right time. This week has been slower - only one run so far - but it was 743 miles. A...

In Ohio this may be dependent on the specific title bureau you go to - when we registered the Sprinter they wanted a valid, signed copy of the lease - not just an MC number. FWIW.

Doesn't require a CDL, doesn't require scaling (generally, depends on the state) and logging. Go over 10,000 though and you have to log and scale - even if you don't have a CDL.

Yeah ..... well said Terry. Ark - there's a freakin' world of difference :D ..... I think the max tow capacity on pre-07 Sprinters is like either 3500 or 5000 lbs. IIRC, the '07's have a 7500 lb capacity (may depend on specific model and equipment) I have a 1 ton Dodge RAM 3500 with a...

Heck yeah !!! :D I just took one from Charlotte, NC to Knowlton, QC (aka Lac Brom) about an hour east of Montreal this past Wednesday. It was my birthday - so it was a nice "present" from Dispatch. It was pretty funny .... the following day I was heading up I-87 to the drop and got to...

..... high-altitude bombing practice ? :eek:
