    Should O/O Welcome Reduced HOS?

    This brings to question about how the "background" stress/distraction might alter your (meaning anyone in general) driving habits and decisions. Getting close to that time, would anyone be tempted to drive a little faster or not slowing down in inclement weather? How about prolonging a much...

    At Shipper

    Sometimes it can be in your favor. A few of months ago we accepted a load Picking up in the South East Coast of Georgia going to Minneapolis (-7f) for 1.60 all miles because dispatch did a good job convincing me to "help them out on this one." When we loaded up the shipment, I read the label on...

    Should O/O Welcome Reduced HOS?

    I fuel on duty unless I am "off-duty driving" then I fuel of duty. Now wondering if that will be a violation.

    Sprinter Vans: Idle-Up or Shut Down?

    I am not a Sprinter owner but just wondering: Did MB drop the ball when they built an engine that doesn't provide sufficient oil pressure at idle? If so could a boost pump be installed that could bring the oil pressure to acceptable levels? Golfournut addressed my second thought. And lastly...

    New BCS Scanners

    Ok if not $11.45 than ?...I love the scanner, I have been using one for 4 years now. It is a "NEAT" ...real small and a very powerful tool & it looks very similar than the one on the Qualcomm web site. Just a different color. I have also noticed that the printer option on the c-link is for a HP...

    New BCS Scanners

    redytrk, If FEDEX is saving $11.45 per TRIPAK envelope and there is approx. 450 dispatches per day, the savings is $5,152.50 each day! So in a years time, FEDEX saves $1,880,662.50...just from not using TRIPAK. That seems like a good incentive to get scanners in all contracted vehicles ASAP at...

    New BCS Scanners

    I would think that FEDEX will not be charging for the scanners because of the hughe savings on the TRIPAK fee for each envelope not sent because of the scanner.

    Leaving panther beware

    Turtle, thanks for your information. You have basically described the scurge of society. Based on what you have said (and I believe you) after the FBI etal finishes with Pilot, they need to get an insider at Panther. Your description gives prostitutes a much higher status than the dispatchers at...

    TA/Petro Shops

    Since TA/Petros are Freightliner Service Centers, it is likely habbitual. Another reason could be to cross-check for proper parts/instalation. Example: Installed wiper falls off during rain storm causing events leading to a fatal accident. Investigation reveals wrong size/type or brand was...

    TA/Petro Shops

    I met a driver of a KW270 or 370 ( C UNIT ) don't remember which, with a Cummings engine in it that takes only 16qts (4 gal) of oil. TA still would charge him full amount so he now changes his own. ISB for Medium-Duty Truck (EPA 07) - Cummins Engines when we drove a HINO, I think it took around...

    TA/Petro Shops

    Good: They get the work done as promised. Reliable in basic maintenance. Competitive in pricing. Bad: Smoking while servicing the truck. Loud vulgar music. Cussing...using the "F" word constantly. Leaving the truck dirty. When they do...

    New york hut enforcement

    En-route to Plattsburgh NY on 04/23, we were pulled in for inspection 3 times then waived on. At each location I noticed most of the trucks actually being inspected didn't have that new sticker that is now required (with some exceptions) on the front of their truck. I don't no what, if any the...
