HI I clean my windshield when Im home by shaking up a 20 oz bottle of Coke and spraying it on the windshield then I wash the truck.I don't understand how or why this works but is does.In the winter time I mix 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol, a tablespoon of Dawn dishwashing liquid to 1 gallon of cheap...

HI My understanding of fsc is that it has nothing to do with the goverment, ooida or the carriers it is set by the person paying the freight bills.This is why some times you get .20 cpm and sometimes you get .04 cpm.When GM was paying no fsc and Ford was paying .14 cpm we complained to our...

HI Uneducated guess is were down on pros.But not way down on pros.about 20 to 25% from last year at this time. I agree that they hired on too many trucks especially so many in such a short span of time.Im wondering if they did this knowing that abunch of us were going to fold because of fuel...

HI I'd love to see it especially after Clinton told Larry king about how great of a tax break he got from new tax bill.Wouldn't it be great if everybody had to pay taxs not just the middle class and the self-employed.

Hi My favorite bridge is the peace bridge you pay coming in but its free coming back. Custom officers are alot better there than at ambassador or blue water. More experience less additude! You have constuction in ohio on I90 right around hwy11 but traffic flows through pretty good. Try the 5th...

HI ATEAM thats a fine thought just one problem nobody knew fuel prices were going to triple.That is our largest expense usually about a third of your total expense.Last year my monthly fuel bill and my truck payment were the same.This years fuel bill is double the truck payment.Im only making it...

HI I agree with all your post, thanks. But where I have the most problems is when the other driver is dropping on a dock and leaving well before I get there. Hopefully the drivers who are causing this problem will read these post and or the carriers will address the problem . I think they...

HI Been having a problem when I do swaps with other drivers, they do not want to give me a copy of the bill of lading. I don,t think they realize the problems that this causes. Must auto plants will not take freight with out a bol and a packing slip as these two papers are not interchangable...

Hi From past experience don't expect any money for down time. Was rear ended by a truck, he was ticketed and his insurance company said they would pay down time. After filing out all their paper work and playing phone tag with them for 3 months I received nothing. Called State Insurance...

We do it because we are addicted to it. The high stress, the fast pace and the fact than you never know whats next.There is nothing better than being ask to do the impossible and then realising you did it. Thanks

Hi My 2 cents: 1,Panther got to big to quick and their system couldn't keep up with their growth.2,to many 3rd party fingers in the pot so they can no longer afford to pay o/o under old contracts{$.90 for some vans compared to $.77 for higher unit #'s} look for new contract to come in the mail...

HI Fast system requires a back ground check for US and Canada. The card is supposably none forgable or atleast not as easy to forge as a DL or Birth cert. It basicly releives the customs officers of responsibilty if you cross at their booth then go blow something up, they can say a higher...

Was once told by a recruiter that expedited vans are used for FUBAR loads.If it could of been put on the milk run truck on time they wouldn't of could us.Man was he right.

Hi Another great thing about MS&T is the show what's nearby. This is a great feature when your broke down or when the cosignee closed and you need to find a place to sit for a few hours.Also if you type in the name of a large corp. such as Ford it will list all the plants and their locations...
