    No BOL

    I agree Raceman, but as I said earlier, when your bringing on drivers or O/O who can't figure out how to read a map, what do you expect. (Well, maybe the map example was a bit much, but you know what I mean) The biggest problem with calling Dispatch, is, alot of the people working there don't...

    PONDERISMS

    Great stuff, but there seems to be a "Death" theme here.

    No BOL

    If the driver you're doing the swap with would read their Driver Handbook, they would know that the BOL and any other paperwork should stay with the freight. I had that problem several months ago, and I had to get my book out and show the driver I was taking the freight from, what it said. Their...

    EZPass

    I use EZPass, and I love it! Since I live in Ohio, I registered through PA. Entered all the information online, and they sent me the transponder in the mail. I use the credit card method. They have my CC number on file, and charged it ($35.00) to begin with. As I go through toll booths, the...

    QC #8

    The only info on the Macro 8, that valid information, is the miles from the city listed, and the average run. Please keep this in mind, I was told that that average is for the last 21 days, not the last week. As for the "unit" info, no one can tell me when that is updated, so it's worthless...

    GPS System

    I'm on Raceman's band wagon on the MS S&T program. I have not used the CoPilot program/system, but I've heard lots of comments about the speed of the updates, and lots of other "issues". I'm running in a cargo van, and I use MS S&T on a laptop, and I love it. Works great everywhere I've been...

    Canada PARS USE REQUIRED

    I was set up, so if you crossed less the 5 times a year, with frieght, you just had to fill out an A8A and see the broker. Are they going to do away with that, and make every company that moves freight across the border, get a PARS number?

    Landstar and Qualcomm

    Nextel has the same tracking feature also. Only problem is, if your cellphone is on your belt, you may not be tracked as well as if it where laying on the dash.

    I crossed the border 3 times last week. Twice in Windsor and once in Sarina. First crossing was from Columbus to Leamington. Crossing time was about 30 seconds. Second crossing was from Toledo to Cambridge. Crossing time about 2 minutes. Third and final time was Erie to Windsor. Crossing time...

    Bumper mounted generator

    I was at the Flying J in Stony Ridge last week, and I saw a cargo van, I believe it was a Landstar Express driver, with a small generator mounted in the center of the front bumper. What a great idea! With an electric start, that puppy could be run while your moving down the road if needed. Just...

    Pizza buffet

    Just a quick note... While I'm at home getting my van worked on, (body work from my deer kill late month), we through the family in the car and headed to try Cici's Pizza in Beavercreek, Ohio. If your in an area that has one of these, it's a great place to get a quick, cheap meal. It's buffet...

    RE: Greetings From Ditto! I'm just glad they have Canada Day and close everything. Keeps me from crossing the border at least once this week. I've been up there so much, I think their going to ask me to obtain duel citizenship.
