zomg! its INTERWEBZ! Get it right! :D

Sat one day in San Antone and 3 in Houston last week, The whole time we saw two load offers and both were <75s.

I have a 22 foot box. I've needed the full 22 exactly once this year so far.

cool poem.

Seeing you all talk about what the co driver can see makes me wonder if you all are using the same (new) c-link system we are using. Theres no having to log in, he sits (or even kneels in the middle) goes to messages, selects message and reads it. The screen is already available for ME to...

I dont know that I can do that given that I dont own the truck I drive. Does that matter?

please explain, thanks!

Phil you bring up a good point. I actually had a load that turned out to be a delivery requiring a liftgate. FDCC had to pay a WG E unit several hundred dollars to drive 43 miles and take the load off my truck.

somehow I dont think the owner is gong to appreciate the tailgating aspect if i approach them about paying to have a liftgate intalled. :D

just wondering if it would be useful to have a liftgate/palj setup if not a wg member?

well done. :)

some ideas; 100% fsc goes to whoever pays the fuel. this is standard practice. for better mileage, team slows down. best way to increase mileage. low rolling resistance tires, hi flow exhaust, turbo3000 are mechanical means to look at which will help.

My caps are chained to the tank interior. :cool:

I'm confused. Come to think on it, you are too. Are you under the impression the bad guys congregate in one spot waiting to be bombed? No, they are an insurgency just like the VC were and in fact the current bad guys are known to have studied Vietnam in rather some detail. They live amongst the...

I have rather excellent insurance but only because my wife works for a major university and not an expediting company. I am hoping the new health care reform thing makes it possible for many/most truckers to gain insurance at a reasonable price. I shall sit back now and watch (with great...

I too am glad they are finally paying attention...but I would bet its more due to the 900 lb gorilla that just showed up called Pilot/Flying J than anything drivers complained about.

I'm with Phil, at least so far as the Fed is concerned and it even seems that they call me BECAUSE I'm at home and they feel like I've been there too long. :D

Perhaps you have purely academic reasons for asking this. If not...well don't run heavy. Get yourself and everything you take on the road with you, fill the tanks, go scale. Subtract that from your GVWR and you know your useful payload, and there is then never an excuse for being heavy. Showing...

I lease through ES for FECC. Is there even such a thing as company drivers in this business?

The only thing it takes to do this properly is common sense and a well developed sense of paranoia fueled by the knowledge that if ANYTHING goes wrong at all either the authorities or your carrier (or even both) are going to try and hang it on you regardless of actual fault.
