    Sweet Cop Car!

    Every cop I've talked to prefers the Crown Vic over the Impala and the Charger.The Impala is gutless and the Chargers roof is a killer for tall officers.

    Bad brake job, have some Q's..

    If you got new drums they are generally coated with a cosmoline type substance,to prevent rust.This has to be washed off prior to installing them.If its left to "burn off",then your brake shoes could become contaminated,and/or your drums could overheat.Take it back and ***** until it's done...

    air compressor

    If you don't have a drier,you may have spitter valves,which sometimes stick open.Keep an eye on them,too.

    RoadCheck 2009 ,June 2-4 !

    Westbound I-76 scale near Lodi.There is usually an OSP officer there that does not know how to measure brakes.Got me 3 years in a row.Each time my road service found no problem.Rest of the time,this guy usually works Akron.

    Where to park

    I've worked with guys that just love truckstops,and stopped there for everything.Perhaps your co driver is one of those,although he didn't have to act the way he did.Personally,I can't stand truckstops and avoid 'em whenever I can.

    It may be a cable coming from the shut off solenoid.Sometimes they can bind or just freeze up.

    old drivers

    I find it curious that insurance companies will insure 2 week wonders at Swift that kill someone every 12 days,but not experienced drivers.

    Diesel Fuel or?

    The International dealer on Gilchrist in Akron has a service truck with a sign on the back that says "Powered by waste oil" or something like that.It did seem to smoke a little more,and I also wondered about the legality.

    8-2 Logging

    The only way this works is if you take 2 hrs sleeper time in the 14 hr period,it does not stop the clock,however.Then you can do 8 hrs in the sleeper when you are finished.IMO it does not gain you anything.

    Sorry, I'm out of hours!

    Bus drivers operate under the old rules-!0 hrs driving.no restart,etc.The press is treating this like "work rules" or "union rules".Nowhere has anyone said it's FEDERAL rules,so naturally the public stays uninformed,and blames the driver or union for this.Maybe she should not have left the...

    Opinion on Company getting Plates 4 Tractor??!!!!

    Just remember,if the company buys your IRP plate,they own it.Should you leave,they keep the plate.Then you have to go thru the registration process all over again.
