And if you think 89 is beautiful coming up from the south, try it from Ogden to Bear Lake and catch 30 there all the way to I-80. It is curvey and follows a river up into the mountains. A bit of a long downgrade commin into Bear Lake but gorgeous. We have some accounts in Ogden that go east and...

Dave Sorry, I wasn't exactly all worked up but sometimes get a lil irritated lol. I just post on my personal expreiences and from talking with my other friends, here. Of course there are people that have different ideas on what slow is. Yes, it is not as busy as last year at this time but as I...

I must say that this ongoing vendetta by a couple of posters against FECC is getting a lil old. I don't say that FECC is perfect or for everybody but they have treated me well and I don't plan on going anywhere. I realize that being satisfied and enthusiastic about expediting here is a very...

Shucks, came out all screwy again, well, guess I will give up that project. Gotta get on over to Sacramento for a load in the morning

One thing that has always irritated me a bit is always hearing that there is no freight in Calif. Its true that there are a fair amount of short runs and up and down the coast but there are plenty of runs back east if you play yer cards right. I just ran the whole west coast at 5:30 PST. Here is...

I never have been able to figure why some people seem to have a knack for being in the right place at the right time or are just lucky? In my 6 years at FECC I have always done well, even in 2000 when we had the glut of trucks. But I am also very proactive with the VRU and don't hesitate to move...

Anyone who has a DUI conviction needs a ministers permit to enter Canada. Ten years ago my brother and I took the ferry from Seattle to Victoria, BC. Immigration ran a licence check on him and found he had an old DUI. We spent the day in the ferry building waiting for the next ferry back to...

For more info on gps411 try www.metroexpressinc.com. They utilize the technology and you can learn more. They say they are lookin for contractors but the only rate I saw was $1.00 a mile for tractors.I didn't see what they pay straight trucks. One interesting thing i saw was that customers can...

I believe, recently Canada relaxed some of thier DUI standards. If you're DUI is over 10 years old you may not need a Ministers Pardon, but if you do it could take about a year. You can call Canada Border Crossing Services at 800 438 7020 and tell them you're situation and they will advise you...

LDB and Trucker Matt. You guys are on the right track. This policy change was not something done over an internet post. I talked with contractor relations and they say the negotiating had gotten out of hand recently. Some drivers are never satisfied and try to get more money for every load...

We were just informed today that dispatchers can no longer negotiate rates. Although I rarely ask for higher pay on runs there are some with d/h and all that are just not feasable. I only see this as drivers getting higher refusal rates and more loads going uncovered. I have no idea how many...

Hmmmm this thread a bit on the morbid side. I have never hauled body parts but have hauled a lot of HIV and Hepatitis viruses out of Chiron in Emeryville, Ca. To the airlines for shipment to research labs in England and Germany. Now for my Pres Bush story. Last summer i took a load of audio...

Ok Rich Its a picture of a billboard at a Shell station advertising fuel prices Regular.....Arm Plus........leg premium.....first born

I don't worry too much abot price right now. Good to get that 11 mpg. The only concern is that rates don't take too long to adjust. I was also truckin in 73 when I had to get in 2 hour line to buy maximum 50 gal at a time. Shortage really sucks. Shippers gettin off real light here in US compared...

I too was just informed Thurs that I was not allowed to re register in Okla. I am now hustling to get my registration transfered to my home state of Calif. I also received a letter from Oklahoma Tax Commision today stating " Terms of owner/operator lease agreement do not meet Motor Vehicle...
