My son, Don Jr., is celebrating his 50th birthay this week-end. As a special gift to him I shut down 3 trucks and rented a 65 foot houseboat for 4 days. We are on Dale Hollow Lake down on the KY and TN state line. Great place to be. On Friday we loaded the boat with 30 cases of beer and a...

Wow they even missed me, got mine on Friday.

Welcome Jenn! Good to see you come out of that cubicle and see us as we really are! Now, if we see you in a truckstop...I will really be impressed!!! Again, welcome.

Dennis......please put me down for all the time not covered from open to close both days. I will be there both days and I think perhaps Load 1 can spare me for an event of this nature. I remember Jack from my days at Express 1. I am sure if our JE hears of this there will be a Load 1 presence...

THANK YOU ALL! Thanks for all your referrals, input, and PM's. I was able to find two drivers that fit for my operation. I actually was bombarded with phone calls and e-mail from a large number of active drivers. I opted to hire two drivers that were out of work rather than take two from another...

Thanks Dennis, I will contact them as soon as I can. I have been in contact with Rob already. Thanks again.

OH YES! I would never have bought them to put on with someone else.

Yes, I spoke with him already, but, I will be speaking with him again in the morning. Thanks for the suggestion.

I cannot imagine what got into me, but Friday I was in my local Freightliner dealer looking at the new 2011 Sprinters. Great little truck and actually priced right. I went there to look at a 2008 that they had for sale. To make a long story short....I bought....not 1 but 2, 2011 Sprinters. I...

Ok...so now it is my turn uncle John. Let's break it all down and look at in segments: LIKES Everything about L-1 is viewed very favorably be me and those that work with me. I especially appreciate being able to communicate directly with Uncle John and his management team. My past...

Chef....if it is optional then someone needs to tell the new safety girl and all in recruiting that it is. They state that it is mandatory in orientation. I have had several drivers of mine try to opt out and they were told that it is mandatory and they have to have it. Maybe John can chime...

My hats off to you.....right to the point, absolutely factual, and experienced everyday by most drivers out here. Favoritism is a big thing and hard for people to see beyond. I have heard and seen for myself, the gift cards to restaurants and the boxes of candy, etc. pass across the counters. It...

Three of my trucks in taylor on the same day......this spells disaster for sure.

YES, Thank you very much John, unfortunately I got the word after just turning a short load down. Load had good revenue but no prospects after unloading. My son, Don Jr., actually was talking with you about this issue and made the suggestion. Now, if we can figure out a way for dispatchers to...

I am a fleet owner and I got my trucks out of there after 7 months when they started that 1200 to 1500 mile per week nonsence. Gotta have the right amount of trucks to impress the stockholders. I am a stockholder in E1 an you should read their weekly reports. Bad...bad...bad!

Both Sprinters are 08 and the Ford CV is 2010, one other driver I know is a 06 Sprinter. There are several other posts on here experiencing the same problems.

I join all the others in saying " welcome to the dream".

Thanks John for your assistance. We are not messing with the QC at all until a solution is found. I am having the problem with 2 Sprinters and also with my Ford CV. Several others are having the same problem with their QC killing the battery. I have replaced 1 Sprinter battery already and they...

No problems when we unplug the pin connector. That is the procedure when the drivers go home for several days at a time. One other driver had issues with his 06 Sprinter and his shop wired his to the ignition switch so that when he turned the engine off it also turned the QC off. that was the...
