Ok, question for y'all. For a sprinter/cargo van what are the rules and regs for hauling haz-mat? I was told we could haul up to 1k#, I have also been told there are no requirements for us. Do we have to placard? if so for any? over a certain amount? Do we then have to scale? I have hauled...

Was noticing the other day that the attitudes have seemed to be getting better. After the layoffs it seemed like you could not crack a joke or say something other then business when getting a call. Now it seems things have gotten back to the way they were. Whether its load planning or customer...

Anyone else listen to the call on saturday? Was pleased to hear the numbers on Auto loads we have had. Was pleased we are still showing a profit even if it is not as large as it once was. The item that discouraged me the most was in regards to the Mac-19. I do not agree that a CV can not see...

Have I missed something or did I just run into the wrong crowd today? I was driving northbound on I-77 today thru WV. Speed limit is 70mph. Not sure what the minimum is but prolly 45 or 55mph. Anyway, I had my cruise set at 62 just like always (thats the sweet spot) and as most of you know...

This thread is intended mostly for teams that are van or sprinters, but others can comment too. When running as a team on a long run what is better? To switch drivers often or for longer periods of time? We are talking about runs that don't have ample time either, Runs that are hot and you...

Was contacted earlier today from another E-1 driver and he filled me in on a little bit of news. He told me that you could go into the Bolt Express web site and you can find yourself and other trucks in the area. When I finished my run I got online and tryed it and he is right. Now I am not sure...

Go Spartans What a game. Detroit and Michigan really need something to cheer about and we have it with Tom Izzo and the spartans. Not sure what they pay Izzo but he is worth every penny. There was a part at the most critical time and one of his players made a bone head play and he didn't...

Was just curious as to how many still use their CB Radios. I have been doing this since nov/07 and have never come across a situation that I felt I should have had one. I grew up with them in the house in the 70's and couldn't stand them. I would assume they are mearly for entertainment this...

Got home early today and decided to take advantage of the nice weather. Did the normal maintanence. Oil, filter, fluids, tires, etc. Got to cleaning the inside and low and behold stumbled across a passanger. Here was a dead mouse. I remember hearing one time what I thought was a mouse 6-8...

Have you called your congressman or senator today? For everyone who complains about something political the best thing you can do is call and voice your opinion. Whether you are right, left, male, female, white, black, brown, red, yellow, gay, straight. Does not matter. I challange each one of...

Ok I am going to go conspiracy theorist here. It has been my observation that they keep us on an average. Lets say I have a really good week then the very next week I am sucking canal water. Also within the same week if I start the week strong more times then not come wed. or thur. I sit for the...
