Guessing used to work when Larry and I ran for P2.

Sign me up... when's the first meeting? Let me know and I'll have Laura bring her newly acquired "table" for drinks (read above). LOVE YOU HONEY!!!

Oh yeah, just so that Jim knows... we run for E1 and not P2. I know it sounds like we got a demotion, but oh well.

So, since you were there. I would have you know that we were very prepared. Didn't have the fuel filter, but we had the tools to fix the filter... and BTW, it worked. We don't wing it, when the time comes to take action, it's taken. End of story. And FYI, there's a set of chains that we...

And if she's laughing at it... then it's pretty @*#&$(@# funny!!!

We drive it for someone else. He's a good owner, but that's not the issue. I also posted something about these same issues in the thread 2006 Hino (at least I think that's what it's called). Those pretty much cap my frustrations... but they aren't limited to that. Personally (and Larry don't...

As we sat, it was nothing for the temp to get down to a balmy -40F. Yes, that' a minus in front of that 40! However, Power System advertises protection to -40F. So that shouldn't have been a factor. We do have a generator, but that won't help keep the fuel warm. Bottom line is, that when you do...

Here's something to chew on... Laura and I were in Fargo, ND. We had some issues with the fuel gelling after we did everything that the techs said (anti-gel, etc). We called HinoWatch to let them know that the truck was frozen, and since its still under a warranty, to ask what they suggested...

I'm going to think of a really good and clean way of putting this... Are you outside your mind??? Actually, our owner e-mails us a copy of the newsletter now. But it's the fact that they put out a newsletter that directly affects the people that do the work, and don't give it to them. We do...

We tried that before WWI. Whatever we didn't do there, could have cost us more than a merchant vessel and the threat of someone helping Mexico to take back California (OK, like it's not theirs anyway, but that's a different episode). Point is this, if the only thing we do is nothing, then...

That would be entirely too easy. And, I think that the higher ups would have a coronary if they heard that there are actually things that the greater masses of their drivers (sorry, Value Providers) don't dig 100% of what the company does.

The thing, OVM, with our carrier's driver's council meetings is that no one knows when they are unless they are invited. Then the only way we find out is thru a watered-down version of the minutes in the newsletter. WHICH THE DRIVERS DON'T GET!!!

Easy killer. I got the Critter name on lockdown. It's easily rectified though... cash or check.

And that's the way it should be. Whatever happened to when they actually take care of you BEFORE making sure that the freight is taken care of. Otherwise, the world has turned absolutely for the worse.

Or better yet... how about this. Since I'm going to guess that almost everyone in the corporate world is going more and more PC with their company beliefs and terminology (like how Express-1 calls us "Value Providers"... Give me a freaking break!!!), why not send the dispatcher in question to...

That maybe true, but the way I look at it on one hand, is that if it's legal why complain? If you aren't breaking the law, then why would they have a beef with it? All the times I've had my logs checked, they haven't said anything about how I'm showing a 34. If they did have problems, they ask...

Well stated. I wish I could say that we all were getting the miles, in whatever vehicle. Fact of the matter is, that's not always realistic. There have been weeks where we've run upwards of 4200 paid, and others where we've gotten maybe 1000-1200. Freight goes up and down, just a matter of where...

The best I know is that there are quite a few companies that offer anywhere from .80-1.00 for Sprinters. I'm sure ours is at the top of that, but I can't be too sure. PM me for the companies, I don't want to throw anyone under the bus.

We're in Fargo, and it's about -15 air temp. So yeah, it's cold... minus the snow. So cold, in fact, our truck froze up. Waiting on the tow now. Dress in layers? Only if I'm staying outside for a while... which I should have done earlier. We fiddled around with the fuel filter trying to get it...

I was in the sleeper, but had just woken up. No, he didn't check mine, but I've only had that happen twice.
