I like the T/A's but I just placed the one in London, OH (I-70, x 79) on my poop list for A: having numerous employees being stupid far above and beyond the call of duty and B: They were hassling drivers and actually had TWO trucks in the lot during the big snow storm early this week...

How is this new QC mounted in the truck? On the dash?

If I am reading your intentions right when you say these things then I would have to judge you as a manifestly UNSAFE driver and your apparent 'push through at all costs' attitude is gonna get you or someone else hurt. I can tell you three things about carrier policies regarding chains...

The decision to shelve the shuttle fleet and build the new manned ships was not made by the Obama administration. It was made during the previous one. Its not a decision I am happy about either, I wouldn't want to depend on Russia for my phone service, much less regular access to ISS. It is my...

Hit the house for the night on the way to Dayton tomorrow. More snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hooooraaaay :eek:

I fly an E-Flite Apprentice...sometimes I even fail to crash it.

Outstanding post! I can confirm that FECC has indeed begun rollout of the new QC system. Our orientation class was the first, that was the week of Jan 25. We did not get it installed because ES had not signed the new lease on it yet. We ran into a classmate who had to take the training and he...

Sitting in Decatur, Il. Going to WI Monday and delivering in OH Tues. Saw horrendous accident in eastern MO last night along 36 a bit west of Hannibal. 2 rigs, 2 vans, 1 car involved. Never went above 45 from there to here. Exhausting drive.

Well we are golden. We didnt have to take the new QC training cause we arent getting those yet and from what I heard thats good as apparently still major bugs. However anyone considering buying that Rand gps should wait...FedEx is integrating GPS and truck routing into the QC, along with...

And yet we survive all this nastiness. My prime interest is military history. Just read a book on British Submarines in WW2. The authors' submarine has had an equipment casualty which resulted in any sort of washing, brushing teeth etc being strictly forbidden as there was only water for...

Your gross you said was 2600...I think you meant 3600? (18x2=36) Also...does your wife have a CDL and are you gonna have to upgrade yours to drive a D unit? What's that gonna cost? Also...are you planning to dive right in and buy your own vehicle (very bad idea)? Or drive for an O/O till you...

MegaTrux...does anyone else think thats the most absurdly juvenile name for a trucking company ever?

This happened to me in a Century S/L. There was a whole list of code explanations and troubleshooting procedures list on the back of the visor, and one of them was to reset the computer. I did it and the gauges worked correctly again. So...take a look on your visor back or at the manual and see...

Johnnie's neighbour had a baby.Unfortunately, the baby was born without ears. When mother and new baby came home from the hospital, Johnnie's family was invited over to see the baby. Before they left their house, Little Johnnie's dad had a talk with him and explained that the baby had no ears...

The kindergarten class had a homework assignment to find out about something exciting and relate it to the class the next day. When the time came for the little kids to give their reports, the teacher was calling on them one at a time. She was reluctant to call upon little Johnnie, knowing that...

Juju...perhaps I misspoke? I've actually lived (briefly) in Rapid, and I have to admit I fell in love with the area, and Spearfish Canyon and trout fishing on Rapid Creek. But...there just isn't much available economically unless you are a casino worker or some other kind of low wage service...

Ahh so you did. You are very kind and not nearly the meanie OVM has been saying you are in HIS pm's to me! :p

Well we are driving for an owner, we get 40% of the truck and pay zero expenses. I think it's right to say that a good part of the judgment on whats a good run depends on: How much it pays, where it is going, mileage...and something people don't say at all, but what day of the week it is I...

Oh I know, like I said I was (literally) asking for it! :D

Bah, some of you came here thinking I wrote this? HAH! No, YOU are going to write it (I hope). Maybe it's a great thread and gets stickied. In the other thread Greg mentioned running from BFE SD to Chi at just above cost. I got the impression he thought that was bad. Seems it would be good to...
