    Cell Phone Danger?

    ROFL!!! Every time the phone rings while i'm driving, i thank goodness that i have a co-driver in the back to answer it! ;-) If whoever it is just MUST speak with me, i have Kev put them off by telling them that i'll call back later. The truth is, cell phones are as aggravating as they are...

    expedited freight?

    Welcome to Expediters Online! With that said, i'm now going to direct you over to TruckNet.com -- ;-) -- because they might be better able to answer your freight forwarding company question! You could also try a search engine, but i haven't had much luck with the searches i've tried with...

    Any of you have a problem with dual tanks?

    There seems to be a lot of this going around right now -- we also ran out of fuel, with the gauge reading 1/4 tank. The problem for us was the fact that we were parked on an angle -- not enough to be horribly uncomfortable, but enough to raise the draw-through 'vent/hole' above the level of the...

    Excellent Observation, Treeman! DPC Online Services

    In your previous post, you spoke of satellite online services, and we've been checking around for them, too. We are currently subscribing to DTV's (Direct TV) Total Choice package -- no premium movie channels, but lots of other stuff, over 100 channels -- for $32/month. We're real happy with...

    Backhaul

    i'm not sure how much help this will be, but i sometimes sit in the truckstops, watching the TV with all the brokered loads lists, and have thought about perhaps contacting some of those folks about back-haul. If you could find a broker in your area, you might be able to start a relationship...

    Honest and down to earth answers

    Sorry it's taken me so long to reply, Crazy, but here goes: In January of 1999, we were with Roberts Express, and did pretty well because we were driving for an owner and got preferential treatment. Once we bought our own truck in June, we did okay because the freight was there. By January of...

    Parking and Showers

    i know we've covered this subject before, but our little accident makes me think we might want to get into this again, so here goes. Parking: We generally park in little strip malls with ethnic restaurants, grocery stores and Dollar stores -- nice and cosy, relatively safe (the one's with 24...

    No Park-N-View Is a BUMMER!

    ROFL!!! Nope, in fact, we can't remember seeing ANY Simon's there -- perhaps Simon isn't allowing their drivers to park at truckstops with inadequate space... ********* Godspeed to all of you out there on the highways and byways!

    No Park-N-View Is a BUMMER!

    Howdy everyone! Sorry i haven't been online much lately -- no Park-N-View has put a major crimp in my online style! We were sitting in LA, at the TA in Ontario, and we got hit by a big rig on his way OUT of a parking spot! Not much damage, and no blood, so i guess we're going to have to keep...

    C&M Transport, Sounds good

    HammerDown, we can't remember ever being at the Flying J in Memphis -- we usually hit the Petro, the few times we've been there. i don't believe you will ever find anyone that we've ever said those things to about C&M -- the other company's we've been with would be another story, however! :-)...

    Nationwide pager

    We had Satellink and were very unhappy with it. If a page was sent at the exact moment that you lost the signal, you were out of luck -- unless your company was aware of the problem and sent mulitple pages. Even then, you weren't guaranteed to receive all pages. You can probably find cheaper...
