Hi all, I am adapting my XM to use in my house. Rather than buy the 120v to 12v female lighter adapter I want to use alligator clips to connect to a supply I already had (for a HAM radio) using the male lighter adapter it came with. I cannot recall however on the lighter adapter whether the nub...

Every time I get a wild hair and just for a fleeting second I think about getting my own authority (but I would do it with 18 wheels and not 6) I get my permit book down and just kind of thumb through the two solid inches of permits and other assorted paperwork that would be my headache and not...

Lockridge said yesterday the wheels came off the merger wagon.

Well Mr DeMoss has done a very good thing. Now if another few hundred thousand donors would follow suit perhaps the schoolyard name calling will stop and actual dialog and work can occur.

Having just recently spent a couple days in Laredo and McAllen...its like being in a police state, Border Patrol and other various LEO's thick as fleas. No way would I ever go into Mexico in a FECC truck, feeling like I had ROB ME NOW pasted all over.

In my rather limited experience the answer is a whole hearted YES. The difference in how I am treated as a FECC driver is worlds apart from when I was trucking.

Yes...a WHOLE 8 hours. :D

T/A Laredo. Been here 8 hours and no load. :( Is it a freight vacuum?

woot, gotta go, headed to Laredo. **** and I left my sun tan oil at home! And all my shorts are dirty and I only have sweats to wear.

At the Omaha J. Sitting...and sitting...aaaaand sitting. Ok I've only been here 18 hours, and I DID turn down a load to Eugene. And had two offers I didnt get. I don't sit well. If I wanted to sit I would go back to a desk job.

I read all the time, bought quite a few books at the Detroiter back in my SNC days cause the operating center was next door. Its closed now Ive heard. The OC, not the Detroiter. Anyway I read history, historical fiction, Science Fiction, Clancy and Dale Brown type stuff also King/Koontz...

Ahh ok. My co driver at Schneider had the laptop Delorme setup going on. I liked the large screen and all, but it seemed about 25% of the time it had never heard of the address we were headed to. Im greatly interested in the Rand unit and had planned on getting one until I found out about the...

Dang Joe, 3? You use them at the same time?

Why let it drop when you've gone this far with it?

I'm not an owner of a Hino but I've talked to a fellow who owns one when we did a freight transfer. Basically his words were : Nice interior, crappy truck, non-existent service.

How can sucking all the blood from your upper head and sending it to your lower head keep you awake? :D

Although I am totally new to this side of trucking I have to say that if this the 'slow' season I would never have known it if I hadn't been told so. Looking forward to the 'busy' part for sure.

I'm wondering about what the best set up for my truck is going to be. Used to see the truck mirror mounts for sale in the truck stops, but now that I'm wanting to buy one I can't find them anywhere. I don't know if this is due to the economy or the merger but I don't want to buy a radio until I...

Not gonna quibble over the econ numbers, they are mixed but seem to indicate some slow growth. What I WILL absolutely criticize (to the shock and amazement of certain of you) is this 'Commission' President Obama just put together to 'fight the deficit.' Some of the most determinedly and...

I delivered to Grand Rapids at noon Wednesday. Sat for 24 hours and got no offers. I've never been available for more than a couple/3 hours with no offers before now. Called dispatch, who thought it was really weird I'd had nothing considering I was the only D in the whole state. Gave it a bit...
