Do we get those updates or need them??? I just bet the dealers have a $200 special to update the gps and bluetooth etc. Only takes a morning off the road (even though we know it's a 15 min job). Good for p&d guys as they don't require the updates all that often. Rob

The truck I just got had the same tires all around. One was bad and the tire guy put another brand on the left steer. I figured it would have gone on the back axle.

Today that statement usually means they know your name and usually recognize you when you visit the office. But there are few like hawk mentioned where you can call or visit the owners and sit and chew the fat and basically just relax with them, where they actually care about their brokers...

Tomorrow the 14th is the federal election day in Canada. There are 4 main parties of which only 3 have seats in parliament (green party has no elected members). So after 15:00 hrs in each time zone you may see an increase in traffic if voter turn out is good (probably not as cdns seem to be...

U should log onto Lou Dodds and checkout what his guests have to say. last week or the week before they were saying that the 700b was just the beginning of the demand for money as there are a couple of trillion bad mortgages and bad debt out there (or some amount like that). They predicted that...

We make more money doing this than anything else???? My carrier must have instituted a helluva hold back... wait till i get to the office.... Anywho as the others said read, read, read!! Learn as much as possible. Most of us look at this not only as a career but as a way of life due to the...

Sure you weren't a little easier on the throttle at lights and getting upto speed and such as it was a dh run? Run a few mph slower??? Dumped more additive in than usual?? Something as at that mileage the thing should have been at its best for awhile. Whose fuel did you fill with??? Sure it...

Nice to see lower prices but I don't see why winter should drive up the price until near the end when the home heating storage tanks are lower and need refilling and the warmer weather means more driving. Up here that's how it works normally. We see a big increase in diesel in the late winter...

Positive attitude!!! That's what we all like to see and what them dispatchers and company ppl all want. Positivity feels good and usually helps with those fun loads... It's keeping that positive attitude that seems to be the biggie for many while sitting and waiting... waiting... but hey...

Jayman i have a similar problem where I work with the sending me out and no backhaul but rather than look elsewhere I'm working on changing their ideas of doing things so now they are looking into load boards etc. It has been a slow process but with constant input and reminders and giving...

What's wrong with a little warming???? The milder winters up here are quite welcome!! Ok so a bit of ice melts and the seas are a little higher. So some rich guys water front property is now an in the water house. Should have built further back on the property!!

Well what do you feel comfortable with in size of sleeping arrangement??? Work that out and then get the length that fits best. I've hauled a lot of 3 skid loads but quite often one or two skids are shorter or narrower so turned sideways etc I make them fit. Or do the stacking thing as I...

Tomorrow is cdn thangsgiving so nothing open of interest like beer stores or liquor stores or at least not in Ontario. So stock up today and enjoy the day off tomorrow. I know we are all losing a day of work but we have to think of those poor sods working hard in the factories and the...

Know a couple of guys running HHO systems but the mnileage increase has not been great so the pay back will be awhile. Actual numbers in use in this business are less than 10%. What about methane??? Britian is using it to make electricity instead of natural gas or oil. There are several...

Yeah I'm a canuck and yes the rules on both sides say canucks do not haul intra state and americans do not haul intra prov etc, but we all know rules are bent (sort of broken) every now and then (ok a lot). But of course that's none of us... is it?? Rob Hey got another airport last nite...

I grill tube steaks a lot and they're easy to eat with one hand leaving the other for the steering wheel. Rob

I have to disagree with that assesment of the straight trucks. There are loads of local and regional carriers that utilize straights for doing calls and some guys do alright. Many of these have expeditied calls going short distances that pay well and if equipped with tailgate lift there are...

Ok pj pick on the poor van guys!!! We suffer with too many being hired, too many hang on hoping for more runs and none get together to complain to the carriers. What we got is too many out there for the declining freight to haul. Of course part of the problem is over hiring by the companies...
