There's a difference between speaking to someone and confronting them. If anyone is unsure of the difference, don't do either. :D If you're sitting in you truck and out the window you see someone dumping a bottle of what you assume to be urine on the asphalt, don't bolt out of your truck...

A Knoxville board and a White Pine board, another great example of two boards where there should be one.

That's your word against theirs, and you'd lose. Calling into a carrier is dicey enough, as it's still your word against theirs. Anyone can make stuff up and call it in. The noting of a wrong truck number can have significant consequences for the other driver, especially when you post that...

The confusion, and frustration, comes from them not properly defining the boards, and the board boundaries. You could be on three boards that do 2 loads a day, or you could combine those boards into one that does 6 loads a day. Same thing. But, they didn't do it that way. Not even close. Panther...

My momma alwayuz sayuhd, Obaaahmma is lack a box of chocklits. Ya never know what yur gonna get.

I have always scanned one pro per cover sheet, for that very reason. It eliminates (sorry, what was I thinking?!?!) slightly reduces the chance of confusion on their part. I got one in there now where they got the cover sheet, the shipper's BOL, and the POD signature from the PRO Bill, but they...

Overpriced for what you get. They use their own mapping data and routing (PC Miler), but it's still not as accurate as the data used by Garmin, Tom Tom, Mapquest, DeLorme, Google, everyone else. CoPilot does have HAZMAT routing and truck-specific routes for height, weight and length, so in...

I, for one, would be happy to assist you in step-by-step instructions on how to use the Ignore List. You can add someone to your Ignore List and poof! Instant Out Of Your Face. Good job on killing this thread, by the way. It used to be a fun thread.

It would be a real stretch to classify the initial post a negative attack or a public scathing. The post was full of questions, asking for help or advice, not public attack, and far from controversial. And except for those who have resorted to the usual lame personal jabs and attacks, the thread...

It's a standalone unit about the size of a shoe box. It's a mini diesel engine, got a glow plug and everything (the gasoline model, not so much). It's connected to the fuel tank and runs off that. It's mounted inside the van, usually behind the driver's seat, but it can be mounted anywhere. Mine...

It would be a Garmin, absolutely. Having said that, I wouldn't refuse a free Tom Tom, either. Lowrance is tops on the boat, both for navigation and sounding. Magellan always seems to be a day late and a dollar short, and with inaccurate maps (which is a bit of a puzzle, since they use the same...

Woot! Woot! Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, Boy!

Wow! Four girls and a Hummer. Life's good. :D

Ah, yes, here in the South, where we can pronounce the word "egg" with two syllables. On US 641 half way between Murray, KY and Paris, TN there is an antique shop. Out front there is a sign that reads: Antiques Made While You Wait

Those who advocate the use of a laptop and something like Streets and Trips are almost certainly those those have never used a standalone GPS unit, like a Garmin. I used to be one of those people. A laptop GPS unit works, and it works rather well, but it pales in comparison, not even close, to a...

Absolutely not. I'm the one that said that, and I wasn't referring to anyone in particular. Ah! That explains the sudden readability of your posts.

Orientation "failed in this case" and was "not absorbed by the driver" is the same thing. Whatever happened in orientation, it didn't work with this driver, for whatever reason. What are you disagreeing with, exactly? Perhaps the notion of who is responsible for ensuring the driver absorbed the...

I don't need to re-read it, I comprehended it the first time through. I'm not stoopid. Yes, I can say that Panther is responsible for his sitting that length of time. He refused an offer, the responsibility is his. He refused a second offer, the responsibility is still his. He was placed OOS on...

Dunno. When he was placed Out-of-Service by dispatch, how much time went by before someone called him and informed him of that fact? Why didn't the further training/discussion happen at the time he was placed on the SC board? This is a 24/7 business, whatever Panther can do Monday through...

Sure, I'd be happy to... uhm.. I... Hey! Sheesh! You wanna proclaim it all again, or do you want me to point to where you proclaimed such experience? Make up your mind. Okay, here: AND There's more, but that should refresh your memory. Yeah, I do. That may be how you see it, but that ain't...
