Layout, I thought it was funny, no big deal ... happens a lot to me.
I'd find it funny too, [if it happened to me, not you], but I have to back Joe up on this one: he isn't one of those snobs at all.
Now, if he'd just delete those duplicate posts....
I ignored Steady Eddie when he infiltrated "the yard" last weekend. How was I supposed to know it was him?

I did just delete another one. I sure wish I knew what was causing that. I delete them when I see them. Thank you, I do NOT want to ever be thought of as a snob. It is just NOT my style.

Oh never thought he was a snob, it was just funny how everyone vacated as soon as I parked. I can't even consider Phil a snob, he and Diane have been cordial and inviting to talk to.
Actually Layout, if some of those tighta** employees in green would send you an electronic copy of FedEx's image manual, you can get any embroidery shop take the correct image from the copy and put it to cloth, it has been done by one of your great contracting cohorts to their nice LL Bean shirts.

I wish I could get that. I could do a LOT better job than what we have now. I don't know about Bean, they tend to cost a WHOLE lot more than they are worth. Of course the mark up on clothing is AMAZING. Clothing is where most stores make their money. 100% mark ups, or higher, are the norm. Columbia makes some nice shirts too. Dabluzman used to, or still does, do embroidery. Maybe he can work out something with FedEx. I would rather buy from someone I know anyway.

Yeah, Bean is OK. I was not happy with the cut on the last few shirts I bought from them. Columbia fits me better than most. I am NOT a fan of cotton shirts. In summer I like VERY light weight fishing shirts, caped vented backs to stay cool. I don't do well once the temp gets much over 65. 70 and I am ROASTING!! In winter a nice, light weight micro-fleece. I don't know why FedEx does not allow this. Not my call, I do what I have too. They don't ask my opinion.
I would think Sprinter or Cargo Van, the fact he say's he's loaded at 1750lbs has something to do with the a lack of offers he's getting.

Oh ... so you are a slave?
You can wear anything you want (meaning material wise) as long as it fits into the program you have chosen to be in. Having custom made shirts and pants (not expensive once you locate them) seems out of their reach if it fits the style in the manual. The style isn't their exclusively, I think that place in Wynadote has FedEx style shirts on the rack.

thanks for getting this back on track. dan, it is time to pare down what isn't needed. i am surprised e-1 would allow a sub 2k# sprinter? just WHAT do you have in that truck?
No, I am NOT a slave. I meant getting just the name strips. It is spelled Wyandotte. That is the city next to where I was raised which is Riverview.
I'd argue that applies to all size of vehicles, not only the true expedite (van) class
You would not have to argue much as I would tend to agree, however because it is so much easier to wander unaware into expediting with a van than with a more costly truck that is more likely to be inspected and with which log books are required, the phenomenon is more pronounce in the van arena, is it not?

Pssssst BTW Dan......Sprinter ball joints nearly never need changing unless you rip the boot and get dirt in them.....taking it easy doesn't really help....
Phil....Yes it is more pronounced down here....unskilled, little investment, little to lose....

Rockeman will love anything these days, now that he got rid of that bad honey and sore tooth. It's gotta be fun out there again.
