Yep when I read it, it seemed the trooper did not mind the people cruising between 70-75 in the 60. What does that say about the law?? I have never been pulled over in SC. and would be unhappy for being pulled over for doing 58-60 which is my cruising speed, in the right lane of course. I...

I have talked to a couple mega fleet T/T drivers and they said the shipper info pops up on there log book all they have to do is enter a BOL# and commodity. Don't know why the fed has does not do this as it would be easy software programming.

Most broker agreements state NO DOUBLE BROKERING. But some carriers just want to break the rules to make a couple extra $$. Some get caught and the org shipper/broker will no longer use that carrier, wish they would get caught more often if you ask me. Then you have the carriers who have...

I agree 100% It won't let me do all caps but I am shouting this at the top of my lungs

Just a suggestion but my 02 Chevy had sealed beams and I stored a spare light (in the box) under the hood between the battery and the evap box. Fit there perfectly and never gave me a problem. I get what you are saying about no room in cab area. I just don't want to see ya get pulled over...

Cableguy will learn when he gets a ticket for defective equipment. I have been pulled over (many years ago) in a T/T in the middle of the day for a headlight out (it was raining) and the officer said if I can change it now I won't write ya a ticket. I carry 2 high and 2 low beams plus spares...

Phil you know the answer, some of these small carriers do not know how to price themselves and they bid way to cheap on the freight. Or they get tired of hearing drivers complain and bid cheap to get them rolling. Those that know how to bid on freight only get awarded the loads when the...

Great response Greg, could not of said it better myself. Those that run for no money do not have the money to by a new unit every 3 years. Maybe some of you drivers/owners (ALL SIZE UNITS) should think of that next time before accepting substandard rates.

Ok you are just using old labels as U.S. customs does not use the wand on PAPS labels since 2009. You do not have to use paps labels. The number on the label is what you are giving the broker and then writing on the cover sheet. I make my own manifest number up as PAPS labels are a waste of...

How do you use PAPS. The U.S customs have been using the A.C.E manifest system for well over a year now. You are told not to put PAPS labels on the cover sheet or on the BOL and proforma invoice. When was the last time you crossed on PAPS labels alone with no cover sheet??

I am thinking they are not leased on drivers, because one simple call to there carrier they would have a answer. They are probably those that went independent and think they just need a PARS sticker to go to Canada. They are also the ones that lower the cross border freight rates (when they...

Get them powder coated then clear coated, I am having mine down by one of my customers in Poughkeepsie, NY. They specialize in military coatings for corrosion resistance, heat load and friction reduction. Ain't cheap but it is less than buying 4 new rims and these will out last most fancy...

Shame people will run for that in a Str8. Probably had to bump it up so they don't continue to loss contractors. Aren't sprinters making that kind of money over at load one?? Just some food for thought.

I have I-Pass, TxTag and 407ETR so as you can see I believe in non stop tolling. I would only pay for Prepass if I was leased to a carrier that had a good safety record. If they had a bad safety record there is no way I would spend money to possibly be red lighted more.

There is a few places I park that have outlets. All you have to do is ask the manager on duty, worst thing he can say is no. Sometimes I slide them five or ten dollars depending on how long I will be there. Most times they do not charge me. I even do it at customers if they are holding me up...

If I go into the restaurant or grocery store for the sole purpose of using the restroom. Then I feel I should buy something even if it is just a bottle of water or a small bag of apples. People have to clean them restrooms and like all business they need money from us to pay them. Stepping...

They change it every so often.:rolleyes: I know back in 2010 I looked it up and it said class 1,2,3 outbound only and it had time of day restrictions to. The rules I posted earlier are the current rules. Its NYC it may change next week :eek:

Home depot is buying a hole bunch of used ones, so customers can rent them on site to use. Now harry home owner can rent that cube or 26' Penske truck to take home there goodies. Very smart for Home Depot, they used to use contractors like us to drop off the supplies. Now Harry can do it...

From PANYNJ site: Commercial Vehicles Commercial vehicles in classes 4, 5 and 6 (four-, five- and six-axle trucks) are prohibited from using the Holland Tunnel. Please use the Lincoln Tunnel or George Washington Bridge instead. Commercial vehicles in classes 1, 2 and 3 (two- and three-axle...

Depending on where I have to go I cross Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Williamsburg bridges and come out one of the tunnels (usually Holland) in to Jersey (free outbound) or cruise up the FDR :eek: if I need to head up town. This is in a VAN or course.
