Just got off the phone with one of my drivers in Wis. He ran a mini, got a first out and was gonna drop down to chicago. Driver Relations told him a new policy (actually an old one that was changed) states that if you leave your board to go to another, you will no longer carry your 1st out with...

under these circumstances I pay the deductable but it would be a very cold day in hades befor I let you park there again. Next time you pay ;)

Based on our experiences with border crossings, the charges mentioned would not bar him from entering. Felonies, drug charges and assault or other "violent" charges will. Best bet is to contact your customs office and ask these questions in a "hypothetical" manner. A few minutes on the phone...

As a general rule if you wreck my truck and it is your fault, you pay the deductable. If not and the other drive was uninsured I pay the deductable and settle it in court. Hit a Bridge, You pay. Graffit? Not enough info. Was the truck parked in what you knew was an unsafe place? Was safer...

WOW I missed a great discussion here. I am an animal lover from way back and a single thread with cats dogs seals and monkeys is not to be missed. (oh and I thought porch monkeys, yard apes, curtain climbers ect where children). But this whole Cat thing really worries me. I live in Gaston, SC...

Driver relations was as stunned as I was and promptly removed the refusal. But these 2 examples seem to be part of a growing trend. Alot of the new dispatchers seem to get "stuck in stupid". While there are many good dispatchers at our company, I dont seem to get them much anymore. I understand...

My truck in South Dakota got a load offer at 12:30 yesterday to pickup in Nashville, TN @ 1:30 but the driver couldnt get the rockets to ignite so dispatch hit the driver with a refusal. Where are they finding them these days?!?!?

I read this thread and find myself looking at the way I have been doing business lately. I am 2 weeks from breaking even and a week from going under and have been that way for a few months now. I dont plan on giving up. But I can feel the sting of the words I have read here. Some have been...

My drivers buy their fuel so I have no "rules" But I do recomend that they observe the 20% as suggested above. This has been working quite well for them. I tell them before they climb in my truck that a computer generates the empty moves and suggested moves and these should only be considered if...

Ok, as stated above, you need to first check out the forums. Most recomend the last year in newbies and I think that is the best place to begin. Then contact several companies for the pitch. just as swift and werner are different so are the fed, the cat, and tristate ect. But it doesnt stop...

I would like to thank you for making me spit my rum and coke all over my keyboard hehehe

My guys and I pretty much figured no EM when the weekend came without the usual QC message. we put in for hometyme and I got lucky (130 miles from home) one of my trucks got within 150 and I brought a driver home to SC with me and drove him to miami in the car from here. (took mom to meet her...

you might be an expediter if.. instead of beep beep beep your alarm clock says "Attention! A new important message has arrived!"

wesson doesnt go well with whipped cream and christmas M&M's but chocolate syrup does and can get bout as slippery and clean-up can be fun if properly done :)

Got my little 170 miler yesterday for a 7 a.m. delivery today in st. marys. Deadheaded to fort wayne and sure enough another little on 167 miles to deliver at 2200 tonight in romulus (which is loaded down with trucks). Looks like another week under 1000 miles. :o

Last year on the Snoquami (spelled wrong I think) I was pulled into the scale as part of the "chain awareness" blitz. All S/T's were being stopped and most ticketed and shut down. I was not aware of the extra set rule and got a ticket for $186 and because you cant be on the pass without the...

I left akron about 5:00pm running back toward seville on 76 and at about the 8 1/2 MM that curve was covered with ice and a dozen cars and a parkinglot lost it. I heard it on the radio just in time to jump off at the 9 so I missed it but they were still sliding off the road when I got out of...

nah I was on my way to Akron to get this little 170 miler stopped in the fuel stop to grab smokes. I was just hanging at pather to get a windshield in the F/L before my drivers got outta class and get a couple thing done for my brothers trucks but you know how it goes, there are no "quick...

yup thats my "bad hair day hat" lol lost the hat after I found the shower lol. I am thinking turtle had a red hat and jacket but he is tough to get a mental picture of from his posts so I cant be sure. (I kinda had this anthony hopkins in Meet Joe Black image of him in my head but nobody...

I, too was there today with a team I had in orientation and must have seen both of you and didnt even know it. PICTURES PEOPLE!!!! lol but Brono I think I have you pegged. Did you have to go to the bank this afternoon? Perhaps saw a truck you thought might be one of yours?
