I hate the country, all those animals walking around un-cooked.

What are the hours?

It looks like the location is correct; please check the GPS Tracker.

Show hours today is:

Noon till 5:00 pm

Rob you must have looked at the truck when I was driving North on Dixie rd. I should have take 401 to dixie but I stayed on the QEW, that is why the truck showed there.

BTW thanks for your advice the other night but I cleared Customs in about 30 seconds with no problems.

RichM · May 30, 2007

Tomorrow (Thursday) the truck will be at Bellview Ontario,exit 538 off 401. It will be shown at the local F/Liner Dealer.

But on Saturday the truck,me and our esteemed founder of EO, Lawrence will be in Green Ohio at the FEDEXCC Skills Challenge event. This event is always a lot of fun so if you have the time stop in. Panthers and the rest of the expedite herd can stay out on the street and look,LOL.

Actually I think it would create a lot iof interest and be a lot of fun to have all of the Expediting companies participate in a skills challenge against each other. This could be sponsered and judged by members of the EO staff.

Hats off to FedEx, for sponsoring such a win-win event - I've often wondered why more carriers don't. It sounds like such a fun way to improve the skills we use, and I just wish I could do it, too. Um, what exactly does it consist of, anyway? :+

Saw the truck parked today, tried to get around to see it, but it took off just when I got there. Had to overshoot anf turn around and I flashed the driver to pull out but it didn't move all that fast.

Are u sure it's an expedite truck??? It took way too long to get going and to the next intersection. On the advanced green it was a snail! Needs a couple more chipmunks under the hood.

Hopefully get there tomorrow

I, for one, am looking forward to the skills challenge. I will probably shine in the freight fingerprint event, placard application derby, creative logging, and the fleet message ignore-a-thon.

Remember it started life as a Mack Tractor. With the Super 10 Transmission you have to double clutch going up from gear to gear which is why it is slow off the line,but once it's moving it pulls quite well.

Wait Terry, what about the "sleeping in a jostling bunkathon" It's kinda like riding a mechanical bull,(only you're in your P.J's). My favorite would be the most indisernable phrase,(or mutant noise),made while sitting straight up in bed as you're having that dream that you're falling asleep behind the wheel. Or, how many times can your phone ring on the way to the consignees before you stop answering it pleasantly,(or at all),?
