Heya Moot, Thanks much. Yeah ....... I been wunderin' when these guys were going wise up and go to felt ....... someone oughta pass a law ..... On the ceiling, yup it's in the long term plans to finish it off. I've priced a factory headliner which is what I would like to use - but it's...

Here are a couple of photos of the "finished" product (is it ever really done ?) I'd been meaning to do this for some time but had some computer problems that prevented me from editing the photos so I could upload them. These were taken after I had ran a couple of loads so unfortunately the...

I'm just starting so I have no prior year history to base anything on. I started on March 16th (a Friday) and got one load that week. The next week I was out of service some and only ran on three days and my revenue almost doubled. The week following I ran three days and my revenue more than...

That's a sweet setup. The only thiing I would recommend adding is an E-Track holder for the TP. ;)

Moot, ...... you are a hoot. :7

Maybe not Jack. I pulled into the Speedway by our house (Akron, OH) last night to fuel up and diesel was $2.899 ........ well, $2.799 for me - using my prepaid Speedway Fuel Card (you can purchase them at any Marc's Discount Store - it gives you a 10 cent discount on fuel - either gas or...

Do I know of any problems with Sprinter engines ? Well, sure. Would any of them keep me from buying one ? No - since none of them (the problems) are really significant. We have three in the family - our 2006 and my son's 2004 and 2006. Their respective mileages are 11K, 60K, and 150K I...

That sounds completely assbackwards to me. Ahhhhh ....... yeah ...... That ain't the way it works where I'm at ..... the B-Rate is good to 2500 lbs and 2 skids .... after that it's C-rate. Like JohnO says ..... the minimum rate ought to be what your truck is classed as, unit-wise ...... but...

I run local in Northern Ohio and regional expedite (Midwest) for a small expedite company based in the Akron/Canton Ohio area. No routes per se, but there are some regional runs that our company makes on a daily basis. Like Rod I often return home after a run (but not always) since our...

With the 5,000 lbs. freight limit FedEx has for C units, we have no worries about customer freight ever making our front axle too heavy. Phil, Let me see if I understand this correctly - are you saying above that because you are classified as a "C unit" at Fedex, you never get loads over 5000...

Danny, I think the link you provided is for the Chesapeak Bay Bridge .... you may want to recheck it.

I don't know why anyone would tell you off - you are attempting to take some responsibility for another in your profession - before they end up killing someone. Nothing wrong with that in my book. We all would do well to remember that any industry, organization, group etc. that fails to police...

Diesel fuel won't rust stainless (due to the inherent nature of stainless itself) .... it might corode it however (sulfur content, possible acidity, etc. etc.) On the otherhand diesel fuel is a hydrophilic substance, meaning that it attracts water - so it will attract moisture that could cause...

Hey Moot, Well done !!! .... now can I have your autograph ? ;)

Hmmmm .... the same guy that wizzes in the pool that he's swimming in ?

Hey Jeff, What are "dims" ?

Congrats guys !!!

Cheri, It's interesting that you mention that. In the accident I referenced previously the 17 year-old that was driving the other vehicle had a cellphone in her hand when I walked up to her vehicle to check on her condition. I don't know if she was talking on it while driving or not but from...

It absolutely does - it's from the Smith System - in fact it's the core principles it's built around. The wife and I got several days of Smith System training when we went thru our training for Fedex Home Delivery. The data and the principals actually blew me away - I was so impressed and...

Terry, I understand what you are saying. Your last post then begs a question or two: Is the price quoted to the customer always based on the cheapest vehicle available to service the load ? IOW, are the C/S reps aware of vehicle availability for the load when they make the quote ? If...
