JJ, really consider if you need a co-driver. I know a couple of solo surface drivers that do over 100k per year (D Unit no lift gate % pay) and one T-Val that easily clips that. Is it worth the risk? The safest place in the truck incase of an accident is that left front seat...the worst is the...

OVM, do you remember what brand/type of oil you had in that Honda when it wouldn't start?

Thanks for the Christmas wishes. This is the first time ever me and Dear Wife won't be together during this season...she is baby sitting grandson in Miami and I am on a run in Columbus, Ms. So with a great smile I say; MERRY CHRISTMAS---BACK @ YOU Bobby & Paulette! :o

...and DOT will check! I had mine checked at an Indiana scale. They have a chart they use to calculate what the cold pressure would be when checking a tire which has obviously been running.

I found this article to be helpful and informative...it also gives good reason to keep up on your pressures and understand how speed effects tire load. This is non-technical with good illustrations. Hope you find it as useful. Bridgestone Commercial Truck Tires

Looking at it closely, it still looks like they are comparing two 'Day Cabs" not sleepers.... Now here is a comfy sleeper; or if a Team;

According to NTSB; "The NTSB undertook this study because of concerns about the safety record of single-unit trucks and an interest in identifying countermeasures to address the risks posed by these vehicles. One of the concerns is that single-unit trucks are excluded from some safety rules...

So according to the link, signage is not required if the fire extinguisher is..."securely mounted in a conspicuous place..." Thanks for the link!

That Team that got the violation could have it removed if there isn't a specific regulation...did the Officer reference the reg in the violation? We received a violation for a different issue in the state of Washington, Fedex determined the violation was incorrect, challenged it and won. The...

10 years with same Carrier, different division.

Gee, can tell you haven't been to Dundee lately. The current most exiting thing in Dundee is waiting for the paint on the Old Mill wall to peel! :cool:

Not sure it would be. If you are offered a load eg; 10,000lb .69pm and suddenly they up it to 1.32 per mile when you refused the first offer, was it really offered at contract rate in the first place. I think it is safe to say that a typical 'D' unit reefer/lift gate cost around .84cpm +- .15cpm...

Your post brought up an interesting discussion. A suggestion was made that if you counter an offer, you should state; "xxx.xx OR CONTRACTED RATE WHICHEVER IS GREATER." Your post has caused to surface the possibility that if they are not sending out contract rate and if you counter less than what...

FEDEXCC has recently advertised on this WEBSITE for TT drivers to go immediately in the WG Division pulling reefers...did you not contact you CC about WG?

Not much else to tell, it was during the time FEDEX was trying to get the fleet to convert over to flat rate. Connecting the dots, it seems like a good strategy to make flat rate appear as a more attractive alternative. ES has gotten many privileges that other fleets owners and O/Os didn't. ie...

....HERS :cool:

We just pull up to the house on the concrete driveway and plug into the power pedestal. Full hookups plenty of room and a 36' wide gate.

In case you missed it, "Layout, not sure about TVAL but in surface, ES had/has an arrangement where if one of their trucks accepted the low ball offer, it would be adjusted to a pre-agreed rate...ie two trucks side by side get the same 1.05pm offer, ES accepts and it gets adjusted to 1.39, if...

ES has set up an "EXTRANET" much like FEDEXCC's so you can check your numbers. So far no other Fleet owner has been given access like ES and they seem to be the only one with the huge advantage of pulling data city by city up 400 mile radius and last 90 days per truck type; straight vs 53', dry...
