Folks, before this spirals out of control, I'm going to lock this thread. This is not censoring, this is not taking sides, this is heading off a series of replies that I feel can have no good end, and has no need to be further dragged out. The fact is, in any forum, as in life, there are...

Chuck, I'm sure everyone has their favorites. Road Kings are good mics, but having tried most of the mics out there, I prefer the Astatic 636L Noise Cancelling mic. Above all, with this type of radio, you do not need to run a power mic. Don't fall into that trap. A power mic usually will...

Terry, You both will definately be in our prayers. I'm also moving this thread to the General Forum so more visitors will see it. I know not everyone check the Laoding Dock as often. Dreamer Forums Administrator

Hey Fuzz, As others stated, generally it is a urine test. They will be looking for the presence of any and all illegal drugs, especially pot, crack, meth etc. Also, one test shows them if you have taken one of the chemical 'strippers' that supposedly cover up drug use. Make sure to tell...

Great stuff here guys, and it got me wondering. I know there are tons of tourism books, sites, etc out there, but most of them are geared towards auto traffic. Does anyone know of any such resources that would list 'truck friendly' tourism opportunities? I know we have the Layover forum...

Sad thing is, it's not always just that guy on the end. I've seen a couple wrecks where it was drivers pulling out of a spot, and swing too soon hitting the next truck with their trailer overhang. I wonder if it's because guys are used to having their wheels further back, and forget about the...

I took the liberty of moving two posts to the Loading Dock. These types of posts should be there, so that the other forums can keep flowing in the manner they were intended. Keep in mind to keep it civil gentlemen. Dreamer Forums Administrator

I agree with you Raceman, it's totally ridiculous. However, I must brag a bit here on my kids. My son and daughter, now 16 and 19, are VERY aware of trucks, and how to drive around them. I hear them talking to their friends who are about to get THEIR permits, etc... to always give trucks room...

RE: FedEx CC quarterly newsletter Gentlemen, I think it's best we lock this thread. We've heard both sides, and obviously both see it a different way. This obviously seems to be headed towards a court case, and we need to leave it between the parties involved. Trying to advise one or the...

I'm getting ready to start the process of mine here in Ohio also. Hopefully it doesn't take as long as they say. I'll probably do a brief write up on the process once it's done. As Rex says, the first step cost $94.00 at www.myhazprints.com, luckily I'm not too far from a fingerprinting...

Everyone has given great ideas here. One thing I actually picked up from an RV show is having a bunch of small bungee cords. You never know when you'll need them, and you can get them cheap at Walmart or anywhere. A good way to store them is on a piece of 3 inch PVC pipe cut to length...

This is probably the kind of person who will be on here the day he is fired talking about how that fleet owner sucks, his trucks are junk, etc. Then the fleet owner reveals the driver never cleaned the truck, or changed the oil. He peed in the floor, kept 4 dogs, they had to burn the...

Mike, I'm a long time ebayer, and I've known of several drivers who run auctions on downtime. It may take an understanding partner at home to label and ship stuff for you tho. Or, there are several companies who will "drop ship" for you. In this case, you sell iems listed in a wholeseller's...

Great responses folks! Now THIS is the kind of exchange of ideas I like to see. As was pointed out, I think if a "template" contract is posted, some lazy people will just copy it, and it may not fit their siuation. It would be more beneficial to come up with a list of what needs to be...

RE: Introduction To Expediting; Now Available in . Good article, looking forward to the rest. Dreamer Forums Administrator

How can I put this.. >LOL... I think Davekc AND Ateam are both right, and are closer on their answers than they realize! I understand Dave's point that 'usually' the more experienced person will have better answers. However, as Ateam pointed out many 'so-called' experienced people will give...

ACW, Have you actually checked on the regs for your neighborhood? I know at least in the Cleveland Ave area they don't have a prob with vans. They don't like big trucks but there are several work vans parked around, ie plumbers, contractors, etc. It is possible you are worrying about an...
