I am soooooo thankful I asked this question! I never even thought about it until the driver mentioned it to us. Okay, if you pass us on the road near a weigh station and I'm not driving you can know I'll be hidin' in the sleeper. Ha! India Hamner FedEx CC D Unit The reason so many people...

We were recently told by a long time driver that I should not be sitting in the passenger seat when we go through scales because they consider that "on duty" and will pull our logs to be sure I'm not supposed to be in the sleeper. Often we are riding side by side to enjoy the time together and...

Thanks for the informative post. Your calculator must be smoking from all the hard figures to run. Whew! India Hamner FedEx CC D Unit The reason so many people know the solution is that they created the problem!

Just one more thing on this and then I'm done. I was not asking for sympathy since this is a business decision. My purpose was to simply warn my fellow Expeditors in D Trucks to be aware BEFORE they pull into the bay that they are going to pay more than they did the last time. Thanks, though...

Well, I know we had a long discussion recently about how they were cheating people at various Speedco stores. We are shocked at the way Speedco decided to resolve this issue. We are right now pulling out of the one in Oklahoma City without having our oil changed. They have DOUBLED the price...

RE: My week in dispatch. Favoritism? Definitely no Thanks so much for sharing this with us. The dispatch area is totally unknown to us. Every bit of information that explains what the dispatchers are going through helps us as we deal with them. Our dispatchers have been great with us and...

Bless your heart! This must have been way up there with the worst birthday ever! Sorry about your truck but thankful no one was hurt. Seems like you were not meant to make this run, you know? Sometimes God intervenes and there is a reason you may never know but you were meant to stay in the...

Christmas is my favorite time of year. I love seeing what the other truckers are doing with their trucks. We put a small wreath over the top of the fridge and I found some little lights (battery operated) and put them in the wreath. I put two tiny (very tiny) red stockings over the microwave...

Oh my! I can't stop laughing long enough to get a good look at the picture! Sorry we will be out of service and I'll have to miss my pair, also. Perhaps you could give my pair to someone else. You are great! india India Hamner FedEx CC D Unit Life is short. Stay awake for it!

Here are a few of the tips the lady suggested. 1) Slow down when approaching the AVI antenna. Even though they say you can maintain your speed, if you are going too fast, sometimes the transponder does not communicate with the AVI antenna. 2) Keep speed even as you go through the two antennas...

This is another great example of why this forum is so great and why this web site means so much to us! Thanks for the input. I called the PrePass number and got some valuable information from the lady on the phone. They can tell exactly where we got a red light and why! She talked me through...

What is your experience with PrePass? We just got ours and started using it and we are getting red lights constantly. I haven't seen an advantage yet since we are still going through every weigh station with the red light AND we are paying for this "service". I am so frustrated sitting in a...

Our favorite was the one that said, "Turn right just past the building that USED to be where the library was located." We also discovered that our Co-pilot GPS program doesn't update changes in Canada and we drove round and round. Maybe it is more difficult to update the Canadian road changes...

Terry, what a great post! Thanks! It is so interesting that I JUST posted a comment on the the problem at Kennedy Space Center indicating a need for managment to meet with O/O's at CC to get feedback on problems. Thanks for being a voice at these meetings and for sacrificing the time and...

Thanks so much for posting this. We are still learning about some of the little games they play. My husband keeps saying, "Okay, show us the rules and we'll play the game." Isn't there a time of year when the Custom Critical folks meet with a board of O/O's for ideas or suggestions? If not...
