Hi can you tell me more about the battery thing? I am picking up my Hino in a couple of weeks and may need to tell dealer to change out batteries? We are getting the auto shift but have been told the 6th gear has been engaged on the auto now. So hopefully power and fuel consumption will be...

What I would be interested in knowing is why your numbers can be destroyed in one day/nite, and take months to rebuild? The ratio doesn't seem proportionate. I asked dispatch and they didn't know. For example, Friday I deadheaded to Chicago in hopes of snagging a decent load for the weekend...

guitar guy, read the posts in "Why do You Do This" and you will find some insight. Good luck Dianne

I second all the posts! I came from a highly stressed Job in semi-white-collar America. It took me almost a year to calm down and go with the flow after I decided to leave the corporate world. I enjoy my solitude. Sure I miss my family and friends and miss some events that I wish I hadn't...

Hi Vanman, I had the tranny serviced, fluid, filter and all. It now still chatters some but not nearly as bad as it was. My friend Dan said his stopped also with both the filter and fluid change. He says the filter housing is so small and the filter is very small as well and was poorly...

I consider it fun to try and decifer what a person is trying to say. Not all of us got straight "A's" in grammar, or English. Have a little tolerance for your fellow humans. Someone truely versed in grammar is usually a wiz at figuring things out..... As for directions, yes, that IS...

Cherri, would you mind saying how much your home ATT DSL service costs? Your monthly connection fee for internet is great! Just wondering if we'd be further ahead with the service at home. At present I just sign up for a few months at a time at FJ's wifi but am limited obviously to using it...

Why not just design a POP-OUT for your sleeper? That way you wouldn't have to go outside....lol Well why not? they do it in campers??? I betcha someone will come up with one to increase living space and then we'd NEVER haveta go home!! Dianne :+

I really wish they would at least go back to the 5/5 split. To make the logs work, teams have to do 10/10 which IMO is the worst way yet to log. Teams that get a load late in the day, and unless you can nap or sleep on Q, (I cannot) the first to drive must drive the most dangerous hours, thru...

IMHO there is NO excuse for a "stinky" driver with all of the mcdonald's, rest areas, truck stops to clean up in....even if you have no time for a shower, the bathrooms have soap, water. A stick of deoderant is cheap. C'mon people, can't cha stock some wet wipes, a bottle of water to rinse the...

Personally I do not mind being called honey or sweetie or whatever. I prefer that to being talked down to or condesended to. I like when I am called by name also. Even on the QC when they use your name it seems more personal. I try and remember the dispatchers names as well and thank them by...

My concern is will the members of the council truely represent what many of us are concerned and frustrated about. I.E. why there are no standards established and it seems everyday is a new "rule", procedure, etc? Ok let's look at Sprinters for example, one day the freight will be oversized by...

Forgive my ignorance I am not that comp literate but would someone please explain just what "blogging is"? I hear this all the time but not quite sure what it's all about, care to enlighten? Thanks in advance....;0) Dianne

That stand at diesel boss is nice. The one I saw at PJ's is more practical for us because it has up to 3 brackets to include the qc, a laptop and an XM or Sirrius radio or GPS device. And with all it is 122 installed. Dianne

themagicoen, well whatever the outcome, I applause you for standing up against an owner who doesn't want to pay. He will have to have some convincing evidence to uphold his decision not to pay you. I am so tired of hearing the stories about owners who literally screw people out of their...

Well it's a beautiful story just the same...I have a mentally handicapped brother who is loving and the light of my sister's and my life. Just a little attention to any of the clients at his group home is always appreciated and the return on investment is priceless! Treat them with respect and...

Heard a rumor today about Panther in line to sell to UPS who wants an Expedite co, similair to FECC? Anyone else heard this or is is just another BS rumor floating around?? Thanks. Dianne

Hi nice set up, what does the bulkhead slide on? I built a bunk behind the seats and can push it up and bungie it when I have 3 skids. I installed a frame and would like to create a sliding bulk head, some info on that would be great thanks! Dianne

>I wish FedEx did this, I think it is a great Ideal Dave. As far as I have heard FECC does do this in fact regulars on here were or are still part of a council. Terry and Renee right folks? Dianne
