Does anyone have specific information on how to receive and start implementing these scanners ? Are they available now ? Or only to beta testers ?

I'm going to jump on the Purple Promise Happy Bus. No more trip Pak box, and easy scanning of Canadian and Safety paperwork. Faster pay will make me happier too. Now lets get the Folks in Green to send us specific info on Load Ops. In txt message form.

There are NO answers to that, only questions.

I find the the acronym "SCOTUS" strangely erotic.

My opinion is that a Carrier dealership is your best option, but I believe T/As and Speedcos will do an oil change on them.

Now I have to cut a drain into the cargo box of my straight, cool find !

You can also see why the publics perception is so bad by people watching at a truck stop.

My post regarding the easy break I took for dinner was an illustration for my teams normal mode of operation. There is certainly going to be far ranging implications for the trucking industry as a whole. Like some of stated it has nothing to do with safety, but everything to do with dollars (...

Here's an idea... Start weighing drivers at weigh stations ! The drivers...not the trucks !! As Dylan sang, "Slow train comin' round the bend"

Connecticut to Missisauga, tomorrow morning.

I stopped to make dinner in our Team truck yesterday. Logged off duty, ate, went to the restroom, and bought a coffee. I'm not trying to be a simpleton here, but that off duty time was close to an hour, and it went by fast. In our situation, and truck, I don't think these new rules are going...

Xiggi, the post is a joke, OP is referring to medical bills, scratches on camera, and hard to remove lens. He then references the last photo taken by said camera, and its a bull at full speed about to crash into the OP and his camera. The set up is too long for the marginal humor. IMHO. What...

Our team has gotten those inside labor/non adjacent/ extra labor - loads as well. I think some of the older, more mature husband / wife teams turn them down. We accept them for a great rate,and a lot of times they turn into a piece of cake. But not always. I remember unloading a semi trailer of...

I'll throw in my two cents worth. I'm a short time newb expediter. Three years with same truck/owner/carrier. I came from being a business owner that lost it all starting in 2008. I can honestly say that I enjoy the work and lifestyle, and I am thankful that I found this situation. I'm making...

I enjoy being treated as a number by my big carrier. They don't know my name, until a random drug test comes up. No special favors either way, just business. I like it that way. I reserve the warm fuzzy feeling for my SO and my cats.

Ateam, Great advice as usual. I'm still pretty green as a 3 year veteran of expediting, all in the same truck, carrier, and owner. It seems to be working for me as I still enjoy it. It's going to be even better with the creature comforts the new truck will offer. That being said, I also...

I'm thinking Crossfires for drive duals and a monitoring system for the steers and tag. I don't think you can use a wireless TPMSystem with the Crossfires , can you ? I mean that's what the Crossfires are for, and the valve stem has no place for a sensor when the Crossfires are installed.

One of our recent loads had an unmarked LEO escort, and a rent a cop to watch our truck all night . We were able to enjoy all that Brooklyn has to offer. On a serious note, in this instance the customer paid for all those extra requirements for their HV freight. We were able to log off duty. As...

Speaking of weather... I use this paid app called hi-def weather on my iPhone. I use it daily and one of the great features is that it loads the image very quickly ( iPhone 5).
