One other thing, I was a good salesperson, but I absolutely HATED it, which is why I consciously took a 40% pay cut to buy a truck and sign on with the Fed.

Taking your "salesguy" and putting him int a cargo van to haul is a horrible waste of resources. Any semi conscious fool can drive a van around, almost NOBOBY can cold call a business and line up new sales. Also, once a customer is lined up, you have to keep making love to them or like a wife...

I was a salesman of various products for about 10 years. I worked for big companies and small ones. A few good companies but most were crap. Having said that, Salespeople DRIVE business. Without salesman no business can can grow or even exist. Very few salespeople are good at sales. My...

Re: Those of you that have 05-06 engines. What are your plans for California next yea Unfortuantley for me my truck is domociled in CA so they can enforce it on me. Havind said that, CA will do it until I is challenged in FED court. Of course there is no guarantee the court will uphold the...

Re: Those of you that have 05-06 engines. What are your plans for California next yea Constitutionally CA cannot impose regulations on out of state trucks. Its known as reciprocity, its the same as tinted windows. CA can't enforce wndow tint laws an AZ cars visiting disneyland Sent from my...

I think we can all take away from this case what a bad idea it is to punch somebody in the face and slamm their head in the ground repeatedly because they just might be armed. Anyway I think Zimmerman is going to get railroaded, and its a travesty. There is absoluty no reason to believe this...

I never felt particularly welcome at FECC headquarters either, in fact quite the opposite. Having said that, I don't really care. My general impression is they feel us drivers are a nuisance. I agree with them. I think us drivers are a nuisance too. But they do pay on time and generally keep me...

Re: Those of you that have 05-06 engines. What are your plans for California next yea It desnt seem to be getting enforced. I was just in CA, and thre are jsut as many locally owned old NON DPF trucks as before. I'm sure they realise enforcement would be a total disaster for the economy as a...

07 hino with ally 3500RD with 890k miles, no external filter. I have changed my fluid and internal filters every year. it seems to shift better now than it did new. When it was new it used to bang and clank alot. For the last few years its been real smooth.

They work as adbertised. 20 degree drop from ambient. So they are basically useless Sent from my SPH-D700 using EO Forums mobile app

Just imagine a 5 minute yankee pot roast. He also cooked rice in it, and potatoes for whipping. The microwave ones are made from a thick heavy plastic.

When I was a kid my dad had a microwave pressure cooker. It was pretty cool. It worked like a charm, but we only cooked a couple of things in it. Pot roast, shredded taco meat, sloppy joe, It sure took the boiling time out of shreded beef. It would disintergrate a chuck steak in about 5...

18 accepts and no actual loads would **** me off as much probly more than 24 td's in a row!!! But I think I would figure out which agents were "jacks" pretty quick. I also realise ATeams experience is not "typical" it is in fact "A-Typical", but he's still pretty informative. I doubt I'll...

I started the switch to LS twice and both times I gave up because their new hire paperwork shuffle is a total mess. I have had many challenges with the changes at the Fed, honestly I sometimes wonder why I'm still here. If it wasn't for the flat rate system, I would have blown out with Phil...

Your revenue is too low. Could be many reasons why, but that's the deal. My wife and I stay in service all year, unless maintenance takes us out, we take 2 mos off at home, usually around april for taxs and such. However the rest of the year we hit it. The 1/3 breakdown of revenue is true in...

How long will it take for the carriers to build in 30 minutes eta for every 450 miles. I can just see 6 mos of frustration explaing why it now takes an hour longer to complete an 800 mile trip.

CSA2010 is much ado about nothing. I wouldn't worry about it unless your such an uprofessional andillegal operator your score is so high you should be broomed anyway. Having said that, I'm not planning on buying another truck and hopefully will be out of the business all together by next year.

BBB is a waste of time. They are mainly just a mrketting outfit of blue stickers that say BBB on them. In tdays world best bet is Yelp, Google maps reviews, and RipoffReport.com. For this amount of money I would do all three. Most states have "Mechanics Licensing" or "Automotive Repair Bureau"...

Also the economy is smaller, Its been a while since I checked but I believe GDP is still below where it was in 07 Sent from my SPH-D700 using EO Forums mobile app

"Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" by Dee Brown, is an excellent book on INdian vrs US conflicts. I have it on Audible it is a very behind the wheel listen. In the ole days Indians didn't tell lies, not because it was considered immoral but because it was considered cowardice. Only a coward won't...
