I glanced quickly at the thread title and thought "How does a 10 year old get a DWI??".....oh.:facepalm:

Governments all over the world got duped by believing what the Chinese govt reported (and continues to report). I think some of the sudden seriousness in the last 2 days is they now realize it's mostly BS and Italy may be a more accurate or more relevant set of numbers to study.

Pilot/J's are noticeably cleaner than normal (so they are almost respectable now lol), tape at 6ft on the floor etc. Food is harder to get at night for sure and you need to do a lot of pro active restroom planning, basically if you find one open where you are, force yourself to go. Watch the...

Even JB Hunt is giving thier guys bonuses. Seems more common among top tier carriers.

We had 4 left, we called them railers for the hook rails in the ceilings. They were a disaster. I re lined the walls with a product called Bullitex that prevented the carcasses from smashing through to the insulation foam. It took a special driver to not only handle the hanging beef, but driving...

The C range tires seen on the new Transits etc are a European "Commercial" rating not the North American letter rating. The tires on a Transit are more in line with the NA "E" rating. If you are buying tires it's becoming more important to look at the actual weight rating printed on the tire...

Found it. Chart updates itself daily https://www.ft.com/coronavirus-latest

You guys give him too much credit that he actually comes up with all this stuff on his own. Except for a very few, most governments downplayed and under estimated this. I'll see if I can find it again but, a mathematician (MIT maybe) charted every country with over 100 cases and it was quite...

It saddens me that even in such unprecedented times that the politics can't seem to be turned off. Does anyone seriously think Trump, or thier governor is actually making the decisions? They are surrounded by 'the system' of experts for a reason. Thinking about the economic fallout isn't...

Look up HACCP and the kinds of things it requires, will give you a good idea. When I ran a fleet for a beef company it was the Bible we had to follow. Not all food companies do, but it gives you an idea of what top tier ones follow.

Ontario as of 23:59 tomorrow....shut down for 14 days. The federal lockdown thingy is complicated up here too, and we have a way more overreaching federal gov than the US. Our Prime Minister is the polar opposite of Trump, and he too is letting the individual provinces make those decisions...

Bright side, at least you can put the carpet down now without disturbing your membership (if it shows up).

Interesting about the Landstar thing. The big box pharmacy my wife runs has instituted a chain wide $2/hr wage increases for hourly paid front line workers and something equivalent for salaried store managers and made it retro active to when the panic started. "It's important, now more than...

I ask myself this every week. :rolleyes:

We are seeing stories about mortgage deferrals and other things being made available to people to help them cope. Has anyone's carrier offered them a break on anything (like Qualcomm fees or other stuff)?

I can say this Phil, I have gone into a cash protection mode. I have always believed in having a substantial cash buffer and good credit availability so you can ride out any sudden things. This however while sudden to appear is likely going to affect things for a while so I am preserving cash as...

It's amazing how far away Washington state gets. I never think Montana will ever end when I go.

DT570's don't respond well to extra HP (head gaskets and warped heads). Surprised to see a 4400 with a 570, always seem to be 466's. The 570 was not a particularly solid motor, especially if it was worked hard.

I think Wall St will bounce back.....might take the rest of the year and maybe only get to 24,000 type numbers but unless you are an investor cashing out right now...life will go on. IMO, get something flowing immediately to regular folks first and defer taxes till later, make mortgage payment...

This will be interesting. After the van lifestyle and being able to just go and visit things, now RoadTime has to arrange for transportation (ELD tether) ....or does he? Big Orange/personal conveyance rules?
