You attacked me, with no facts, as soon as I began posting here. It was interesting to see how you replied to suggestions that you are a little less than perfect. "GASBAG!" Again and again. What have you ever contributed to this forum that has a positive value? And in that vain, I was just...

I started driving for a fleet owner almost 3 years ago. I worked my way into my own paid for truck. My goal was to be a fleet owner. Since I started fuel costs have nearly doubled. The cost for a new truck has nearly doubled. And our rates have not increased one cent. Ok, maybe a little...

Huzzah to Jack Berry! Just bag up that bottle and carry it in to a toilet, use a little bleach to rinse, an' der ya go! My girlfriend even has a fancy designer label bag for me to carry her jug in, bless her heart. If ya can't wait to get inside, pee in yer jug and carry it in, don't pee on...

Here in Indiana Toyota and Honda build plants in rural areas where their wages seem great but undercut union wages by at least 30%. Connect the dots, sports fans. The "38 billion dollar loss" by GM is mostly due due to a "one time only"accounting change. Funny how they announce that and the...

I haven't, yet, had a problem sending multiple PRO's TS or TF. For the first time ever, I have now been informed that if you are the first half of a swap load you must include a BOL as well as pass one on to the second half of the swap driver.

This one may get your imagination going, the company is Sportsmobiles. They do Sprinters, Fords and G M's. There are lot's of ideas here, not specifically for expediting, but some cool stuff to look at and play around with "when you have time". I don't have a link, just type...

Gregg, Didn't I see you on the intersection holding up a Ron Paul sign?

In general terms, your post was spot on. Since you referenced OVM's post attacking me, I took it as "piling on". You recieved an unsolicited personal endorsement from a driver to me a couple years ago, I've always remembered that and have accorded your posts with a degree of trust. You just...

So the answer to the question is...YES, it is an unannounced Panther policy. Turtle hit all the nails quite squarely about WHY this is not good to withold driver's pay without telling them, so no need to address that again. So now I feel I must speak to the Ontario Van Man ( and the...

Is this the new unannounced policy with Panther? I took two weeks off over Christmas, when I ran my first load, there was no load advance. I called dispatch, they asked me if I took two weeks off, I said yes, and was referred to Safety to restore my load advance. More so, MY PAY WAS HELD...

Hey thanks all. The lights all came back, immaculate illumination maybe? Must be a short, I'll dig around when I can when I am somewhere above 40 degrees. I was calling Alumibunk about eight months ago, is that when they were moving? About the same time my Freightliner dealer called about A/C...

Lost all sleeper functions, can not find a fuse box for the circa 1998 Alumabunk sleeper,you know the one, about 60", a lot of them out there. The frickin' heater and A/C already quit, and Alumabunk says they don't have replacement parts,but I would like some lights in the sleeper. OBTW...

Good for you JB. Be patient this winter, it is a whole 'nother world with a co-driver on board.
