    TRACTOR TRAILER EXPEDITER

    Most of the erxpediting companies want and need T/T units, I know that FDX CC,Express One,Tri State all are advertising for E Units. However if you are planning to run as a single drive I suggest you read all of the threads on this forum regarding the new HOS Regs coming in January.

    Dan The Man Tilley

    No way I would steal Dan Tilley!s thunder, from everything I have heard he is the man for expediting trucks,but I am wondering what ever happened to Dan Schultz. I think he worked for Knoxville Freightliner but had an office in the Speedway off I 71/76 split area. I liked the look of that...

    I have never had a problem with FYDA in Columbus but at FYDA in Youngstown, the service facility was unable to service my FL 70,because they had no filters for a Cummins C series engine.That says a lot.

    New Hours of Service Regs

    When Conway Now first started up they were using Vans that would also pull 14-16 foot trailers. This didn!t last long as the transmissions in the vans were not holding up under the torgue needed to pull the loaded van plus the loaded trailer. Ran into a guy on I 70 in Washington Pa one night and...

    New Hours of Service Regs

    I can understand why the LTL oufits such as Yellow/Roadway?ABF etc like these new rules.Their road drivers go strictly terminal to terminal,they don!t care about on duty time and they will get an extra hour of driving time out of their drivers,wonder how the Teamsters are going to react to that...

    New Hours of Service Regs

    I forgot to add that the real crazys at CRASH and PATT want this to go even further.Lets say your company calls you at 1600 for an 0700 pickup the next day.They want you to go on duty as of 1600,but you will have no hours in the AM,so forget about planning and pre dispatching.Why do they pick...

    In January the new hours of Service rules will take effect. I thought all along that it was no big deal and I would gain one more hour to drive,loose one hour of on duty and have 2 more hours of off duty time. I read where Walmart is fighting these changes and I can see why. The new regulations...

    A newbies tale

    One lesson is never to get openly poed at a truck dealership as usually they are the only ones around who can fix your problem. About 8 years ago I had a problem with bad fuel purchased from the Flying J in Kingman Az and I went to that Pete dealer in Flagstaff with my old Mercedes Benz 1319. I...
