    Signing on w/ Load 1

    Very funny, OVM. In my van days I used to go up to Canada a lot, while the money was great. I refused to go for no money. So in the last 2 years in the van I went to Canada only once. Now, in the tractor, I am not going up there. I refuse to have my truck castrated, even though I rarely go...

    Dumb things dispatchers have said

    A couple of months ago when we had the floods in Atlanta, I was at home and got a load that picked up 20 miles from my house. Got 5 miles away from the shipper and a bridge was out, had to turn back, found another way and that was closed too. Dispatcher: "Are you there yet?" Me: "Not yet...

    Kinda wide, isn't it? This week twice I had to traverse it all from east to west, and then from west to east, with a stopover in Dallas in between. Man, the second trip while between Nashville and Knoxville a thought came in my mind that I might be in Texas on I20 instead of Tennessee I40. It...

    Stupid things drivers believe.

    "You are the only truck in the area that can do the load." Usually they resort to this when there is a really crappy load they need to get rid of. They forget that we have phones and QualComms that we can check.

    Paid memberships

    I like piper1's idea. $1 with a credit card would be doable. But $25, I would think many members here wouldn't pay that, me included.

    Worst luck SPRINTER

    It's known as RSN or Rumble Strip Noise since it sounds like you drive over those things when you run off the road. I have heard about RSN causing some engine damage, but never a broken crankshaft. On my 2004 I had it pretty bad for about 50k miles after my last transmission fluid change, but...

    Banned Member Reaches A New Low....

    Wow, this is the lowest of the lowest that I have ever seen. Something seemed fishy about the post. I talked with Joe on the phone once, didn't get to meet him, but he didn't sound like a guy that would start fights and get arrested for them. I really hope that Joe goes after this sick...

    unusual things a gps says to you

    I used a Garmin for a while and out of the blue it would tell me "A better route is available" but no way to know what it is. Drove me NUTS.

    Why are general questions asked in carrier forums ?

    Crazynuff, I think this question is referring to my post about PrePass. This is why I posted it in there. I thought that PrePass has different programs for different companies and I wanted to know what FedEx people with PrePass have to say. My bad. If mods want to move it, it wouldn't ruffle my...

    PrePass question

    Just got the PrePass transponder for a week now. They sent me a pretty old beat up transponder and I am wondering if it works right. When I go by a weigh station the thing beeps at me and the green light comes on, then starts flashing at me, like 2 flashes every 20 seconds or so. And this...
