We are in the KC area, waiting till monday to take the truck in for service. Had a great load from KC to Miami, but that deal fell thru, kinda bummed, was missing the warm weather after spending almost 2 weeks in texas.

KC has always been good to us...better then St Louis actually..

Just a thought but does EO have window stickers?
I always wonder if the expeditor I am passing is an EO member.
It would be cool if I could look for an EO sticker on the drivers side window or the back of the truck.

I would buy one.

Sure would, might be a really good addtional income stream to help keep this site going. Hats, etc, as long as the stuff is reasonable in price but still provide for some profit. I would be looking for the sticker for sure. Layoutshooter

WE too are in KC TheEnemy, down at the "J" in Peculiar. I want an E.O. Sticker too. Layoutshooter


Hey Layout, we were at that Peculiar J on friday afternoon, fueled up there, but ended up having to get a room till monday morning cause we can't run the van for too long without it leaking too much coolant from the leaky water pump. Monday morning its going in the shop. I remember seeing a nice shiny FedEx truck in the corner of the parking lot, by the frontage road, but didn't know it was yours. If I knew, we would have come over and said hello.

Had a run to Laredo and was hoping to spend the weekend there (WARM WEATHER) of course got a load right back out headed for Michigan. Nice miles, but I bet instead of warm sitting we'll get cold sitting LOL

We picked up a load in Newton, NC on Thurs and delivered in Woodhaven, MI Fri morning then took the truck in to Interstate Truck Source for a PM and to have some things checked out. We had only planned on being there a few hours at the most and since I had driven all night, I was looking forward to getting to the nearest TS for some much needed sleep.

Unfortunately.. the best laid plans often go awry. They ended up having to replace all of the fuel injectors and we spent 8 hours sitting in the drivers lounge. :( When we finally got out of there we went to the nearest TS and took a 3 hour nap, then DH 70 miles home where we have spent the weekend. Still in service and hoping for a load tomorrow.

At least our truck is running like it should and our generator is working again. :D

WE too are in KC TheEnemy, down at the "J" in Peculiar. I want an E.O. Sticker too. Layoutshooter

Unless they've run out, EO has bumperstickers, like the one featured under Dreamer's neat little zippy van on his sigline.
Bumperstickers are available wherever EO has an official presence, like the Expediters Expo in July, and their office in Florence. Not sure about the seminars - Lawrence?
Mine got too sun faded to read anymore, so I need a new one too....
If merchandising is being planned, I'd like to see a round EO logo sticker, like OOIDA has - easier to put on a window, ya know? :)
