im sorry I brought it up. Geesh. . . Now all the cool-aid drinkers think think Im trying to wizz in their pool. Well id be surprised if this new system stays around very long. If it drives me too crazy with "Load Opportunities" I can't have even if I want them ;then Nightcreature will...

Well I'm glad to hear some of you were consulted about this new dispatch system. I figured that they would talk to some owners. I also figured that they would talk with owners they are familiar with, the YES MEN. The people who go to company breakfasts and contribute to the weekly email. I...

One sure way to kill inovation is to assume that a suggestion is a complaint. So im glad I don't work for a company nightcreather owns. His answer is always "Go Work For Panther". Well if I find out he is appointed ceo of FECC I will go work for panther. as for mileage pay I would be...

Well, I made an observation, then a complaint and then a suggestion as how to solve the problem. Then somebody clipped my original post and moved it. So nobody knows what this thread is about. If I wanted the post in the FECC forum I would have put it there. I didn't place it there because I...

I just checked up on myself, and I have thirteen threads all complaining, well except for one or two, so I'm sorry. To make up for it, I'd like to say "Its a beautiful day here in Harrsburg PA" Also I didn't notice any fuel mileage improvement with my Air-Tabs, but they do make the truck...

I'm curious, I had to cough up 108k plus to get into the expedite business. Does anyone know how much it costs to be a "Director of Operations" or a "Dispatcher"? I suspect the answer to that question is NOTHING. That being the case, who is more likely to care if the carrier succeeds...

Re: FECC New DIspatch System In theory rates haven't dropped, that maybe so. In practice rates are all over the map. Some are ridiculously high some are ridiculously low. I'll bet they have no problem covering loads where the rate makes sense. So you're right, the new system probably will...

According to the union American manufacturing jobs are being shipped overseas. The economy is in the dumps. So does it make sense to go on STRIKE, their timing couldn't be worse.

It doesn't surprise me that the TA in Nashville was a body dump for this guy, But the Pilot in Lebanon is a surprise its a pretty open lot with the dumpsters in full view not to mention its always busy. I'm curious where he met the victims, from a safety standpoint that is the most relevant...

Well, I got my first load offer with the new system. It was no surprise that the rate was so low I decided to pass on the load but wanted to counter offer a reasonable rate. But no luck, the new system doesn't allow for any comments on mac 31 just a YES or NO. Since I was miffed by this I...

Well I received a letter from WB teliing me carrier decided not to extend the warranty on my Comfort Pro. Buyer Beware

im puzzled by what I see as a disfunctional market in frieght rates. It seems to me that whenever I get a load offer to canada it always pays less than a comperable run inside the states. Inevitably I turn the load down. not because of anticanada bias but because crossing the border adds...

dometic make a rooftop ac that I believe is 10amps at full power it is a 10000 btu unit. That is pretty efficient with a high quality inverter and a couple of deepcycle batteries you ought to be able to sit for a couple of days. especially if you could set up a tjermostat to cycle it of and...

interesting development on my comfort pro. if you remember I was happy after getting an extended warranty, well I saw on my credit card statement that the money for the warranty had been reversed. since chances are they aren't giving me a free warranty, I guess they probly decided not to...

I like cats too, but those cranberry cats look too stringy for my taste. I prffer a chubby persian. They skin easy and fit well in a ronco rotiserie grill. Lightly salted and rubbed with virgin olive oil. With a tyme and mustard dipping sauce. Scrumcious

OK just got done at W&B in dallas. This latest challenge was caused by a cracked evaperator coil. The mechnic said this is another common failing in the older units. W&B also has a guy the who used to work for teleflex(they actually make the units) and he helped me resolve some issues...

My Carrier APU is crapped out again. This time it only lasted a month. I think all the refrigerant has leaked out of it AGAIN. So I'm in Dallas and it not even really hot. Well anyway, I looked under the bunk and the top half of the condenser was frozen solid while the bottom half was almost...

I had a dealer do a code scan on the truck and as I suspected there were no trouble codes. However the mechanic noticed that I had replaced the tailight bulbs with LED lamps and he told me that they sometimes cause the voltage to vary on the breaklight circuit which confuses the ECM, which...

I wasn't the high idle switch. I suspect there is a bad speed sensor or a shorted wire. It happened again to me after the police directed us to a big parking lot to write their report. The second time I pummped the brake a little and it acted normally after that. I have been sitting at a...

I did not pop the E-brake or turn of the engine either of those two actions probly would have avoided the accident. the truck was rolling so slow right up until I tapped the other bumper I thought it would stop.
