    Truck RR Crossing Accident Mystery

    I think it was the driver who was already out of the truck and was just out of the frame of the camera until crash time. I think he realized at the last second that based on the direction the train was coming from, he would be far safer standing to the right of the impact point, LoL!!!:laughing:

    Anyone know what kind of body/box is on this Transit?

    As a friendly reminder, the logging in Ontario Canada starts at 9920lbs. If he doesn't care then that's great, however it's worth mentioning as it will limit the options for freight and being a van in an already flooded market, I know I wouldn't limit those options, but if his carrier can keep...

    Holy crap!

    I was going to post the same however you beat me to it.;) I hope it filters down so you benefit personally in some way as well. This strategic move along with my other recent post about TransForce hooking up with BlackRock to create a freight matching service shows that they will indeed be a...

    Glynn County ,GA

    Those two morons are in the same category as that idiot George Zimmerman. Self appointed vigilantes, nothing more. Not only the most dangerous, but also the dumbest type of people. It's their special combination of stupidity and self righteousness that makes them more of a danger to the public...

    Is your carrier doing anything for YOU due to the virus?

    Well that should piss off the rest of the carriers! Now their owners ops and drivers will all be wanting the same compensation, LoL! Kudos to Landstar though for offering compensation to those who aren't even employees!:)

    This should be good for business.

    I could be wrong but I would think this would only apply if you are hauling under a FEMA order such as happens after hurricanes and other natural disasters. Don't think I would want to get into an argument with a DOT officer over the exemption if I didn't have direct written authority...

    Is your carrier doing anything for YOU due to the virus?

    Since you are already "social distanced" from your carrier, they are being proactive in helping you stop the spread.....:D

    Is your carrier doing anything for YOU due to the virus?

    More important than keeping your hands clean is keeping your hands out of your face!

    Fork lift loading for small box trucks with a lift gate.

    Max freight trailers

    This is 7 year old news. While the new truck in the above video maybe a little more aerodynamic, Walmart didn't come up with this truck idea like they claim. Manitoulin Transport (and many moving companies) had been utilizing dromedary boxes for many many years.

    The end is near for windows 7

    Don't worry about upgrading yet. After support ends you will still have a couple of good years left. More important than the operating system is your web browser. Once it no longer supports the operating system (security wise) then it will be time to upgrade. When that time comes, don't even...

    New App for Sprinters & Cargo Vans

    Well since Uber just announced that they are shutting down Uber Rush, then maybe it's an opportune time for another player to step into the ring.

    A Fist Full Of Stupid

    In the thinking persons world this should work for everyone. Unfortunately when there is no clear cut policy defined in these matters, and more is left to interpretation, chaos and poor morale are the result. How does dispatch work at Panther? Are there local or regional dispatchers that...

    A Fist Full Of Stupid

    Have you been allowed to do this in the past without being dinged? If so, and there was no notice given to policy change, then you have a precedent to go by and I would call contract relations back. If they won't budge then escalate it. If their policy hasn't previously allowed it, then I would...

    DOT DIESEL for DUMMIES

    Not Hino specific, but for all modern diesels idle them as little as possible and if you must idle make sure it's at about 11-1200 rpm's, otherwise low idle will clog the egr valve and will also cause an excessive number of dpf regens.
