Abraham Lincoln Memorial Parkway Opens in Spencer Co. - NEWS 25 WEHT Evansville, Henderson, Owensboro

DO NOT buy anything offered at truckstops . I saw notices in Pilots not long ago explaining when that service would be restored . A few years ago I had an annual subscription to Flying J WiFi because I frequently spent nights at the Flying J in London , Ontario . I did not renew the...

Logging or not , CMV's not over 10,000 lbs. are still exempt from FMCSR unless they are hauling hazmat . They can drive 15 hours a day , 80 hours a week , logging it as on duty , not driving .

From what I saw , Dispatcher03 was very disrespectful to members here that deserved respect on seemed to have no respect for drivers in his company . While his posts may have been interesting they contained much misinformation and nothing of real value . My opinion is admin maintained the...

I once worked for a company where the manager was a golf fanatic . Playing golf with him assured rapid advancement . When one of our production coworkers started playing gold with the manager I bought a "I Love Golf" vanity plate and put it on the front of his Bronco . He never noticed it . It...

This is a ridiculous post . In what percentage of expedite loads would a 90" door height be a factor ? If it's 96"wide why can he only load 5 skids . Please enlighten me so I can move from crayons to colored pencils . And while on the subject of fuel , what is your FSC policy ?

I'm one of them . Anybody that has driven on I-75 in MI knows Canadians are the ones speeding and tailgating and I've seen plenty of Canadian trucks with fenders flapping and mirrors held on with bungee cords . If I am passing a Canadian truck I will not complete the pass unless there is a...

Worry about the other guy is more relevant now than ever . I've never had an incident related to poor driving conditions . I determine whether to go on in varying conditions depending on my abilities and confidence of the abilities of the other drivers on the road . The past couple of years I...

Yes , I understand . Thanks for filling us in on how things run at your company

You can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool Turtle . Seems like Dispatcher03 can be fooled if he really believes all that nonsense about GPS locating abilities , live Google maps , all calls being recorded , etc . Certainly he must believe all that . Otherwise he would...

Being able to log off duty in a parked CMV will be a big plus for hotshotters running medium duty or 1 ton trucks without sleepers .

Actually , it's the Teamsters pushing for it . They contributed over $2 million to key Democrats during the 2008 election campaigns . Among those receiving contributions was Frank Lautenberg (D , NJ ) who was the main one pushing for a review of FMCSR .

Don't expect any concern from Facebook . Scams pop up daily and the most they will do is remove the offender as a member . Their security is very lax .

This has been an ongoing subject of controversy in the RV industry . Most RV carriers require logging deadhead . After all , you are required to show on duty hours for the past 7 days . A deadhead from FL to IN won't be considered off duty . Running a without a trailer then having to log because...

Update . They are still concentrating on rescuing fools that tried to ignore ample warning . They are using snowmobiles and helicopters . Plows won't even start while the snowmobiles and plows are working . People rescued are being brought to a shelter in Wyoming . Very likely their vehicles...

It sure won't be soon . It's 1 p.m. and the bridge and highway are still closed . They are letting some cars cross if they aren't going past the first exit . They are using helicopters to rescue stranded people on clearing the secondary roads to try to get some trucks moved .

Winter storm wallops southern Ontario - Canada - Canoe.ca . I've been in the Customs parking lot in Sarnia since 5 a.m. yesterday (Monday) . No telling when the 402 will open.

Not quite merged . UPS bought Overnite in 2005

The case was dismissed but if it was recent I bet the CSA points are still there if it was cited during an inspection .
