What makes a quality person? Is it your opinion? The legacy left by someone? The God a person prays to if any? The number of forest fires fought? Giving a hungry family food? Layoutshooter, I know you spied around a little, do you have detailed files on these people to prove they are of no...

Your axe is ground to the handle. This Fedex is bad mantra of yours grows so old. If Fedex didnt exist neither would you. So yours was a bad experience, move on and let us as well. I am glad you were able to control your vehicle by not tailgating. This is taught to even Class D drivers going...

AGREED. I was just trying to understand Mooses' comment.:D

well, since you did change the topic, do you have a point or are we just tired and rambling tonight?

Just curious. Is there another name/condition that comes before "SAFETY" in any of your driving?

At age 57 and counting, I rarely get surprised at things I come across. But, over the past two years of over the road driving, I have more than once been caught off guard, by what has been described to me as an "experienced team" manuever. Yep, I am talking about the "rolling switch" the "moving...

Had a really great run from Jacksonville Fla to Portland Me. PU Monday drop Tues. We are sitting in Greenland TA waiting to pu tomorrow in Boston and go to Bedford OH. Hey .....THATS HOME...... Well if we dont get dispatched right away Thurs. BBQ time.:)

You were able to read the same type of "glowing expert analysis" when Daimler bought Chrysler.:eek: Time will tell.:cool:

:D I'm wondering if there is any exercise value in laughter? Cause, I'm busting a gut right now.:D

As if we dont have enough to deal with, economy, fuel, low rates, repairs.......DOT is as you know going to impose "certain" requirements on our bodies.:eek: What does this really mean? What is the criteria being used? What can we expect? Here is an interview with the head Doctor responsible...

Pity, pity , pity, that some get so petty, petty petty. Too bad if it is the case if those who are on the way to the repo lot with their truck, wont possibly get a Gov. handout. Why send good money after bad. Now if someone in a 50,000 truck was running at least at break even, then give him the...

How soon they foreget.:eek: You are required by law to perform a pretrip prior to driving the vehicle. Go back to your CDL instruction manual, check with your local DMV, dont tell them you are a CDL operator though they might cite you for not knowing this.:D

Here are a couple of quotes from the FMCSA web site: G-2. If a team driver goes directly from 10 consecutive hours off-duty to the sleeper berth at the start of his duty period, can the sleeper-berth period be excluded from calculation of the 14-hour limit? Yes. It would be a "...combination...

Alas, I didnt get to met and fall in love with any Mexican girls in El Paso, we got pre-dispatched enroute for an El Paso to Hawthorne Ca run which we dropped Thurs am. Now we are off from SCAL to KY. First week in June is a good one. Oh and Linda threatening my manhood had nothing to with my...

Most drivers will radio me and ask me what I have under the hood that allows me to go up the mountain at posted limits. It is usually a driver of one of those, Under Powered Semis (UPS) that give me grief if I pass them a couple of times up the hill after they roared by me going down the hill.:D

Doing the pre-trip, working as a team, certainly makes a pre-trip do-able in 15 minutes.:D Just make sure that one of you isn't shown being in the sleeper.:eek:

If they ever called on you to do a pre-trip, could you complete it in 15 :eek: minutes? remeber, you would have to do all the light checks and under hood inspection as well air brake test along with frame, exhaust, tire depth, brake inspections..... yaddayaddayadda. we show 30 minutes for...

Out in the west Texas town of El Paso, I fell in love with a Mexican girl........ Guess where I rolled into, (hint above).:D

Not true. The first quote is from the US Homeland Security web. DHS | Crossing U.S. Borders Beginning June 1, 2009 U.S. citizens entering the United States at sea or land ports of entry are required to have documents that comply with the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative...
