Took a while, but finally was able to test the TripPak 'in cab scanning' software.... Although it does download & install & recognize the Fedex client id, there is no way to designate BOL number nor truck unit. I was able to send in a BOL to TripPak, but it was never processed correctly at...

davekc, Thanks for the reply! Yes, I have been to Crows numerous times in the past. Their work used to be excellent... but the last 15-18 months they have really dropped the ball on more than 1 occasion. Things like this are the reason I am trying to create a list of reputable shops for...

Is there a good, reliable, reputable shop in The Memphis, TN area for cab A/C work? Been to 2 shops in past month,& over $1,600. This morning, A/C not blowing cold.... DO NOT go to Silver State Freightliner in Las Vegas for A/C work! No, communication, took 3 days longer than they said...

If I purchase a truck this year, when can I start taking depreciation? I thought that as long as I took possession by Dec 31, I could take depreciation, but have been told by my tax man that he "likes" to have the truck on the road a full quarter before taking depreciation.... Is he being...

I have heard the new Comfort Pro is much improved. I have a question about your A/C vents... are they on or near the floor? If so, I'd find a shop or do it myself & move the vents up high. The Proheat A/C is 12,000 BTUs. Roof mount A/C is mostly 13,000 BTU unless you get the upgrade to...

This sounds like a good option! Do you use Handy Scanner to send in run paperwork (BOL) too?

Well, after some more investigating & talking directly to TripPak Customer Service, I find that the mobile APP will NOT work because FedEx does not pay TripPak for that service.... However, TripPak has free software you can download to your laptop that will use an existing scanner you have &...

Mystery solved: 'Angel Priest' identified | Fox News Mystery priest identified.

Jack, I sure would be interested in knowing how to use my existing scanner. Either scanning to my laptop & then somehow sending to the fedex system or scanning directly into the clink via the USB port for a scanner located on the CLINK. However, after talking to Tom L. today, he is unaware of...

DRAMA!? I don't need no stink'n drama:cool:

I know it may sound naive, but your congressman/woman does take note of communications sent to them. Snail mail has the most impact, then email. Phone calls make little difference unless a large effort is made to jam the phone lines... Also, all of them have websites & most have a way to...

Thanks for the website! I have never heard of that before. I too have an older truck & have learned that for the most part, the smaller shop (not franchised dealerships) is much more inclined to have reliable mechanics & because they are small, truly appreciate our business. thanks

Yes, I already have developed a list of my own; as you say... by default. However, I do not have your list, nor you mine. In fact, I would bet that of the 100's who regularly read these forums, few if any have a clue beyond their own list of "in general", what shops are ok/good or what shops...

OK. Let's see... I am creating a list (perhaps a spreadsheet) of different types of work (APU, reefer, A/C, engine,etc) and then sorted by state. Perhaps listing only places that have good recommendations. However, there are shops out there that are great at 1 thing like general engine work...

Hi, I searched around a little, but did not find anything quickly. It seems to me that whenever a truck needs work, we are always scrambling to find the nearest shop or mobile repair place. It is especially bad for any reefer repairs after 5:00PM or a weekend... forget it! Recently we have...

Hi, We have been using OpenOffice Calc for our business for 6 years. OpenOffice is a free (Open Source) suite of programs that rival Microsoft Office. The is a database program(called Base), spreadsheet (Calc),word proccessor (Writer), something like PowerPoint & more. All (except Base) are...

Hello, I have searched the internet and the Canadian forums here; and even asked this question in the Canadian forum, but have not found any answer to this question: What, if any, wheelbase restrictions are there for straight trucks in Canada or any of the provinces? thanks, doug

Hello, I have searched the internet and now the Canadian forums, but have not found any answer to this question: What, if any, wheelbase restrictions are there for straight trucks in Canada or any of the provinces? thanks!

I did not say I was just signing on with FedEx CC. I said I just purchased 2 trucks. My Son and I, through very hard work, have been in White Glove for 3 years. We now have 4 trucks with the 2 we just bought. Sorry for inadvertly misleading you. doug

Just in the past 10 days I have talked to drivers that happened to have previously driven for the same owner. 2 teams did not have much good to say about the owner, and 2 teams basically said "If he says something, you can bank on it!" ... you'd think these 4 people were talking about different...
