    "Yes, It's torture"...

    I agree. His testimony and the questioning by two members of the committee shoots down the torture argument.

    "Yes, It's torture"...

    Perhaps, you might be interested in testimony before the House Judiciary Committee. To wit: Power Line - Eric the infallible? part 2. Secondly, you might be interested in Obama's dilemma on how to handle two recently captured top Al Qaida operatives in Pakistan or as President Obama says...

    Downsizing the boards???

    Virtual terminals, virtual truckstops, pretty soon it's going to be a virtual business. Somebody's been playing too many video games in Seville.

    So what's left for those of us with reefers?

    Anybody had any luck getting any premium pay backhauls past the "no meat, fruit, or vegetable" crowd? If so, what was the product? The possibilities are getting truly slim. I have done a few flower/shrub loads, but other than that I can't seem to find anything that suits Elite's fancy. Any...

    Downsizing the boards???

    I like that: virtual wasteland. It kind of has a ring to it.

    Downsizing the boards???

    Considering the number of loads per week, they might get the number below 60 to 70. The appropriate number might be closer to 25 "hot spots". Maybe they will settle on one board near Romulus, Mi. :D

    What's Panther's trailer washout program?

    I do pull a reefer. There wasn't a Blue Beacon between me and the shipper. This shipper has turned away some of our trailers because of specks of dirt in the trailer. Never happened to me, but I did have to do a recovery at this shipper because one of our driver's had a dirty, smelly trailer...

    What's Panther's trailer washout program?

    Somewhere I read - QC message or Drivers manual - that we had a provision for two trailer washouts per month. Has anybody else seen that or am I just making this up? The reason I ask, I just got turned down for a trailer washout. I was told that if the trailer needed to be washed out I needed...

    Gen Set repair

    Anybody had any luck with getting your gen set repaired? Rather than just replacing the gen set with a new one, has anyone had the core rewound, the diodes replaced, or whatever needs to be done? I have a Comfort Cab System which uses a Mechron Gen Set. This is the second time I have had a...

    need tires

    We've used Tirerack several times. You can research tires online and have them delivered to an installer near you. Takes several days between order and delivery to installer. What I found works really well is to call their customer service number. One of the guys/gals will walk you through...

    Here's a fairly exhaustive list of available load boards

    Most of these load boards are oriented toward tractor trailers. However, you may find some that help with ltl loads. Some are free. I was just checking out Freight Matching Load Board, Truckers, Brokers, Backhauls, Ebay Shippers. It is a free board. Seems to have many of the same loads...

    Serpentine belt heads up

    I lost one a while back. I always carry one now. The truck is not happy without that belt. I'm glad you made it to a dealer.

    GPS, Garmin 780

    You can get the 880 for $499.00 at HSN. You can get it on ebay for a little cheaper. But that's about the best I have found.

    GPS, Garmin 780

    Leo, I am looking at the Nuvi 880. It adds voice recognition. CNET did a review and were really impressed with it. Consumer Reports says it is the best unit available now. There is a website that is dedicated to GPS units. They gave the 880 a thorough testing. They also were impressed...

    If you need help finding backhauls, I may have found a solution.

    You know, I tried that approach. I have internet access, a laptop, and a printer. Here's the problem I found. In today's environment, you can't print out a list of potential loads, start driving, and then call the brokers for the loads. Unless the loads are really paying below average rates...
