The last time I was in the computer room in the driver's lounge in Buchanan, the mouse pads had that same logo, only it belonged to another company...I think they might have "borrowed" that big red E....by the way, I have 2 friends in vans with Tri State, both moving today and yesterday..I would be moving but I'm down for repairs...
Highway star I do have a pair...I'll post a pic of em...Mine are better than Kens...Mine are Blue Orange and White...lol

First off.....are you sure this "friend" of yours is telling you the truth? Secondly, this sounds like a discounted load to me...which is NOT unusual .My own trucks occassionally haul discounted loads for both TRI-STATE and for FECC. Thirdly: do you and your "friend" know all the FACTS in regards to this "...20 lb freight with 90 CPM..." .....such as, were there any vans available for pick up; did the customer request a straight truck; what were the dimensions of the freight; etc?"
Also....do you have PROOF that "......the cargo vans are starving...?" I know MANY van drivers and none are "starving".
Lastly.....what's up with your "..thank-you TRI-STATE.." comment? You're not even on with TRI-STATE anymore......and as memory serves me, you did ALOT of slamming TRI-STATE when you were on with them.

It's NOT in TRI-STATE's, nor ANY expedite company's best interest to 'load around the vans onto straights' just to keep the straight trucks busy. Here's a FACT to disprove this claim: I recently had a truck on a board with several vans. the VANS got loaded BEFORE my truck...in fact, my truck sat for 2 days before getting a load outta there. So, if this were the case of straights getting loaded around the vans, then why did the VANS get loaded BEFORE my straight truck??? Rumors are just that, rumors.
Yep those are my party shorts...i'll have em with me if your lucky one day ya'll might see me wearin em lol...(p.s) the Chicks dig em'

Yeah, well ..... it coulda been worse: he could have actually been wearing 'em
One this morning at the J, One Sprinter came in later today.
Some folks don't like the big decals. They do not like the idea of having it show up when they take'em off, due to they jump from company to company. I have mine, Ken also.(for now).
Some don't have anything at all on thier vans, nothing! As others take thier numbers off so they don't look like a newbe. I had one team ask me "is that your real number?", they had none.
The big E shows we drive the paint off...kinda like it.

At first, it looked like he was wearing them and bending over. It caused a waving the arms in front of your face and yelling "No! No!" kind of reaction.
