    Vehicle Stats

    I just did a stats check for last year, and this year and they have all our runs listed as Surface Expedite and none under White Glove. Anybody know the reason? WE are a White Glove truck and do mostly W/G Loads.

    Tractor to straight truck conversion.

    Thanks everybody for all the replies. OK # 1 we upgraded our unit last year and bought a new SB 310+ So the California EPA is not an issue. What is the issue is the 10 year 'rule'. Our trailer was built 4/02 an titled as a 2003. That is what I thought the FED was going to go by. I'm...

    Tractor to straight truck conversion.

    With our temperature control trailer nearing the 10 year old limit we are thinking about not replacing it, but going into 'semi' retirement and converting our tractor into a CR unit. Can anybody give us some advice on who we talk to about how to go about it? Right now we have a 132" ARI...

    Qualcomm running behind.

    The new Qualcomm as far as I'm concerned is junk. We have missed load offers because we turned down the volume of that annoying voice. The light telling you you have a message is...what about 2mmx3mm? I guess they just didn't think incomming messages were all that impotant. I could go on and...

    Speedco is really getting bad service

    I have been using Speedco for many years and use them for almost all my oil changes. About the only time I don't use them is when I need an oil change and there is not a location near where I'm at. I know that they might charge a little more (to tell the truth I've never really check cost...

    Flat rate for tractors

    If you read the first paragraph, they are saying the REASON for them to recruit and start this 'fleet' is that every weekday they miss opportunities because they 'have no nearby truck to service our customers' Then they have to 'purchase the service of outside carriers'. Read further and they...

    Purple no more

    We too have been with the company since the Roberts Express days. I'm not on this forum (or any other trucking forum for that matter) very much. I just checked it today after being on vacation for a while to see if any was saying anything about the company trying the millage trucks......again...

    I remember when..........

    I remember before TRIP PAC's We would have to mail our papers threw the post office. We were only allowed to use the blue P.O. Boxes and not the drop off boxes at truck stops.

    Speedco - Vehicle Inspection

    I've always liked SpeedCo for my oil changes. The bays are always clean and neat and you don't have to wait all day. They all ways seem to be looking to a way a make an extra buck from you though, as if the oil changes were not enough. I had to put a label on my air cleaner 'Do not remove...

    First Post, introduction

    Linda: Thanks for the kind words. I'm sure that the two of you have helped way more people than us. It is refreshing to see your optimism. We're in Sacramento for the long holiday weekend. We rented a car and are going to play tourist for a couple of days. Later, DR W

    I remember when..........

    I've read nearly all the current threads in here and had to chuckle to myself when I read about one drivers complaint about the minutes that he was on hold wait to talk to a dispatcher. It is not my intention to flame that driver for the comment because he makes some good points in today's...
