    New Food Stop

    Thanks for the tip Pelicn. Buckers sounds like a good time. I checked them out on the Road Food web site and I noticed that they didn't take credit cards. I stopped at the Bruster's in Jackson and they had a $5.00 minimum purchase requirement to use a credit card. Generally, I avoid...

    Tis the season

    Came into GA from FL last Thursday. I am still in GA today. Got one load offer, but the QC had me logged closer than I really was to the load. Could not get around Atlanta traffic at 4PM to be at the shipper before they closed, so the load went to another unit. Please throw up a prayer for me...

    New Food Stop

    OK. You are sitting at the "J" (Exit 201 on I-75) south of Atlanta and "comfort food" (not) just doesn't sound good today. Ready for a new adventure that your taste buds will enjoy? Jackson, GA is only 8 miles to the east. Go into Jackson and turn south on Route 23. About two miles outside of...

    WHY DO EXPEDITORS LIE !!!!!!!!!!

    Quite possibly he was thinking 4500 miles per month? Who knows? Honest mistake...Anxiety...Frustration...The Need For Acceptance What does it really matter in the long term? Major trucking firms have recovery teams, because drivers are recruited and they often do not have a real grasp as to...

    is it slowing down

    Yep! The farther down the road on my Christian walk that I got, the less and less I found myself saying, "Just my luck." I came to the realization, that if I truly believed in God, nothing could happen by accident. Psa 139:2-4 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou...

    Drivers Education

    Amen!!!! Reaction time testing - Judgement skills testing - Eye Exams All should be mandatory every year. Fail any of the above and you surrender your license.

    torque and horse power

    Ditto with both answers from Leo and the x06col. One factor to also consider is the multiplication factor. The RPM's at the tranny's tailpiece and the ring and pinion ratio's in the final drive. If you got enough gearing (i.e. multiplication factor), there is a compensation factor for reduced...

    is it slowing down

    Considering the route, which would have taken me down I-24 (Very steep upgrades and downgrades), the added fuel consumption, wear on the brakes and additional stress factors by being at max capacity, the cost per the return was not equitable. Had I been in West Central Ohio and the same load...

    is it slowing down

    Actually, we pray for each other that God will bless our desire to work. My friend did get a load out of Buffalo headed back to Michigan. I don't have any preconceived expectations as to what I shall receive. Whatever He has for me, or where He needs me to go, I accept that with thanks. As...

    Inaccurate Mileage

    Yep, it's all about business! Some of the bean counters have a love affair with the mover's guide because it is based on Rail Line Distances. It most often works in the shipper's favor. Why? I tried to follow the tracks with my cargo van, but my wheelbase was not the correct fit!:+...

    is it slowing down

    Same in Nashville. 34 cargo vans competing for.... I did have one offer, but 3028 lbs in a cargo van that is only supposed to carry 3000 lbs max didn't seem like a wise choice to me. At least it was nice to know folks are thinking about you. I consider that to be a plus.:) My friend called...

    Live TV for PC

    Leo, I did go to the site and now I understand how it works. We don't have cable at home, so it probably wouldn't be for me. The Pinnicale TV system looks fairly simple, so I am leaning in that direction. I do thank you for your input.

    Live TV for PC

    Leo, I am looking for something that I can use while on the road. Cargo van is too small for a dish. From your post it appears that a Slingbox requires a dish.

    Live TV for PC

    A fellow EO member sent me some info regarding livetvforpc.com. They pitch a software program that allows you to watch TV on your PC via an internet connection. I am always skeptical when I see offers that indicate the original price as being $399.00, but I can buy it now for $49.95. Hmmmmmm...

    is it slowing down

    Delivered in Arkansas near Fort Smith on Tuesday morning. Headed for Memphis. Stayed Tuesday night and moved toward Nashville. Stayed last night (Wed) just west of Nashville. Still waiting for that call. I have been #1 on the board since 5pm yesterday. It seems slower, but as we all know...

    Nitrogen survey

    #1 - YES #2 - $4.25 PER TIRE NOTE: After my first fill I discovered that Tire Discounters offers a 5,000 mile tire rotation and balance for life at $69.95. They also refill the tires with nitrogen during the rotation. Considering the Chevy dealer charges $16.50 for a rotation, I will be money...
