I believe many automotive plants have had that rule for some time now.. something to do with the union rules for unloading I believe. Dreamer

One thing I would do, is make a list of the days you "HAVE" to be home.. only you can decide that. That's part of the freedom you have with Expediting instead of regular OTR. Examples: Medical appts, Holidays you refuse to run on, family events such as birthdays, weddings, graduations, etc...

RE: Preacher Yes, you have to go across scales in KY in a van. Dreamer

Lawrence, As Glen said, back at ya! Looks like we're going to have a good Holiday, if all the plans come together. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here.. I'm thankful too for this site, and the helpful, professional people we have here. We have the elite here.. that's no joke. Be...

RE: Preacher Preacher, The problem here is going to be weight. Even tho you may find one rated under 10,000.. by the time you put all that stuff in, it will be too heavy to haul a normal van load. I know this from experience. My brother bought a new Ford E350, with the attic, 12 ft box, and...

Just wanted to start off the day right by wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! I hope this has been a good year for you, and hope you will take time to be Thankful for what you have. Most of all, I hope you get home.. if that is what you desire. I'm sure some are already home, and others are...

One big thing to remember with Expediting in a straight truck. You really can't compare it to OTR.. it's more apples to oranges..:+ Which is more profitable... an 80,000 pound, 70 foot long vehicle getting 5 mpg, getting paid 90 cents a mile ....and TOLLS on those 5 axles.... or.. A...

RE: Has a Dispatcher ever said anything rude to yo Wow... you must have more self control than me.. LOL.. I'd have been in Akron... now we know why they have security guards.. Dreamer

Ok.. believe it or not, there's a courier service in Columbus, that for a while, used Corvettes. They somehow managed to get a contract with Chevrolet doing long term road tests for them. So, their senior drivers got to drive Corvettes. Nothing like seeing a new Corvette zooming thru the...

RE: Has a Dispatcher ever said anything rude to yo Sounds like one I used to butt heads with... there used to be a dispatcher, I can't remember her name, Sandy or Sue, I think, who was rude all the time. If I dared refuse a run, she would get all irritated and give me this 5 minute tirade on...

Thanks for the explaination! As for the drum incident.. LMAO!!!!!! I would have LOVED to see your face when you heard the glass break.. I bet you weren't laughin then tho!!! Dreamer

Terry, What is the stuff you spray them with? Are you talking like, Armorall, or what? Also, how do you get them lined up.. just set them in the van and ask the forklift driver to set the skid on them? I'm trying to get a picture in my head.. but I guess 4 regular door mats would be almost...

Oldprof, here's a pic of one.. they operate just like the old toy grabbers they used to sell when I was a kid! They 'scissor' out, then when they clamp on, as long as there is pressure being applied to the ends, (ie.. the chain being pulled by the forklift).. the jaws keep gripping. The...
