    Canada Transforce keeps growing

    Maybe they want to partner it with their own courier divison Canpar? What happened to Dynamex's expedite division out of columbus that you were associated with for a short time?

    HOS thoughts from ATA

    Bingo! you nailed it exactly! It's what we do, and they will never understand that because their commute to and from work is exhausting enough for them and feel that it must obviously be worse for us! And yes we do get what we deserve if we let them do it to us! We are a big industry, but for...

    I do not know if it's a reg or not but it has been my experience with LED lights and the DOT (not making the distinction as to wether they are auxiliary or not) , that if 50% of the individual diodes are out then the lamp is considered to be burnt out. So in Greg's situation, if the DOT officer...

    Naming Bad Fleet Owners

    I would add "in my opinion" to Phil's hypothetical statement. We are all entitled to our opinions and that phrase is sometimes used as a general "cover your a$$" statement when you want to call a spade a spade without fear of legal reprisal. Obviously it won't cover you if you out and out defame...

    Unbelievable - UK

    That's funny. But not as funny as the people that call 911 when they are drunk and have no money and need a ride home! Believe me, it happens quite frequently. A lot of stupid 911 calls come from the simple fact that people either don't know the "regular" call line to their local...

    You will need to get Molly Fedex approved. Even though she can't drive, at least she could log as on duty not driving and pull guard dog duty to keep the load secure while you two are resetting your clocks!:p Seriously though, when are the powers that be going to realize that you can't...

    csa 2010 scores

    This is the part I don't get? :confused: From that blog: "Just as with DAC reports and with the PSP, drivers will have an opportunity to contest erroneous information. The résumé and attendant scoring will be limited to data reported by participating carriers, Bryan says". Why is it...

    I still Know very little about how the reporting sytem will work but isn't that the point of csa....to reduce or eliminate risk? If the carrier will accept the driver with the high csa score, then it should definitely reflect on that carrier. Isn't that the whole point of the system??? to weed...

    PJ O'Rourke on Rights, Responsibilities, and privileges

    That was very well said. Unfortunately the problem is everybody wants that right to do as they please but not the responsibility that goes with it. Nobody wants to accept those consequences. We live in a world where nobody wants to take responsibility for their own actions. There is always a...

    A song for the season

    I was in that food court a couple of weekends ago. Too bad I missed it. What was really cool was I didn't see a conductor. Everyone knew their cues.

    Your Favourite Christmas Movie

    There was an animated version of the christmas carol (don't think it was the Disney version) that used to be on when I was a kid that I don't see anymore. It was my favourite. It had the best Jacob Marley!

    We have much to learn from our elders.

    I don't know if many Americans know who David Suzuki is, but he is well recognized and respected in Canada. Regardless of where he is from, the message is sage advice. We have much to learn from our elders | Science Matters | David Suzuki Foundation

    Ok Everyone, LET ME HAVE IT! Poor it on hard!

    I think we should start another thread about this and let the current one continue on it's path to become a train wreck.

    Ok Everyone, LET ME HAVE IT! Poor it on hard!

    Are you refering to private not for hire fleets that require a USDOT number but not a motor carrier number?

    Ok Everyone, LET ME HAVE IT! Poor it on hard!

    Ah! Ok, so now I get the feeling that it has just as much to do with the policies not being applied equally as it does with the carrier not trusting you. I didn't pick up on that before in the other threads regarding this. I agree that would be a sore spot with me as well. I gues the simple...

    Ok Everyone, LET ME HAVE IT! Poor it on hard!

    Forgive my ignorance, but how does a Canadian driver operate in the States without their carrier having U.S authority?
