RE: would Anyone buy a sleeper made by the guys Fr Comon DD, think what it would be like coming through the hood in Brooklyn with 4,000 watts pumping out Gangsta rap.

I saw the TV program(think it was discovery) on the container ship diesel. I think it got about 3/4 of on inch per gallon. You could easily stand inside one of the cylinders.Just like locomative engines they can disconnect one cylinder,piston etc for repair while the rest keeps going.

Years ago many of us had sleepers built into the front of the box.The DOT regulations stated that the rear wall of the sleeper compartment had to withstand a 6,000 pound impact. I had 2 trucks outfitted with box sleepers. The advantages were the head room and privacy. The main disadvantage were...

I remember when I first met up with Lawrence at the Matts show back in 1999. I was aware of the site but after meeting LM and his staff I thought to myself, "He is on to something and I hope it will grow". Well not only did it grow but it has been a tremondous service to our industry. We all...

The highest temperature I have ever experienced was a couple of years ago. We loaded out of Los Angeles on a Friday Afternoon with a Monday delivery in Galveston TX. Coming across on I 10 in the Indio CA area the outside temperature was 129. Both the cab and sleeper AC were going full bore and...

RE: more Pics from the Expo! Very nice Dale,wish I could have made it this year but I think it's too soon for a major trip.

Tall you pass judgement on folks with large SUV's and rightfully so ,but how many times does a D Unit getting 8-10 MPG haul 1 pallet that weighs 300 pounds. Planes fly that are only 30% full and I think the worst case of energy useage is a cruise ship that uses huge amounts of energy in order to...

Curious aboutsomething,you indicated Fedex will give you loads,What divison of Fedex is doing this Fedex freight or Custom Critical or Fedex Express.

Ditto,welcome back believe it or not we have missed you.

Man oh Man,that Kathy would make a hell of a wife. Are you spoken for LOL, just kidding

Today Exxon/Mobil announced their last quarters profit of $10 BILLION,BP/Amoco is projecting a profit of $7.27 Billion for the last quarter, and we go merrily along paying $3.00 plus per gallon.

Unfortunately what you described will probably be judged preventable on your part and might wind up on your DAC report. Even though you didn't receive a citation and you didn't create the accident, none the less the safety and insurance departments of the major expedite carriers will judge you...

First of all your question is a very difficult one to answer. You have received replies from your other posts including me to advise you to obtain a full CDL. Which company is the best? Who knows,what worked for me might not work for you. Who will you make the most revenue from,once again it's...

Perhaps your Dispatcher told your wife about the Viagra you are taking.

What I have heard is that Hotel Air Conditioners tend to grow the bacteria that causes it. Mold and junk get trapped inside,filters don't get changed and off you go. There was a big outbreak of this in Philadelphia some years ago.

I took some grief about this in the past but one thing you can do is go to Office Max or Depot, buy some generic Bill of Lading forms. When you park at a Walmart and think you might get kicked out, fill out a BOL for that Walmart stating that you have equipment to be delivered in the AM the...

Nancy I Read it and it was a good well thought out post. You made some very good points.

I think what happens is that as Companies grow they forget who spearheaded that growth. The guy who goes out at 0300 in an ice storm to rescue a shipment and get it delivered on time gets zero recognition. But let the same guy refuse a trip that is unprofitable for him/her to run,this gets...

My 2 cents,this is why I always find a Walmart,Kroger,Winn Dixie,Mejers and so on. I am a light sleep person and idleing keeps me awake but I realize that some that some folks have to idle.
