Is it the same place you go to get your "Under 10,000 gvw" decals that magically make an old Penske cube van 2000 lbs lighter?

This kind of thinking, treating contractors like employees, is quite common with Canadian carriers....expedite and regular LTL/TL.

Careful what you wish for. If I'm a carrier using the multi model, its pretty darn easy to show I have units...lots of them...heck even the "legit" carriers in their "search for available units" links on their web sites post stuff that isn't theirs. So how do you enforce it? Truck that shows up...

Pretty sure TEANA has done this and continues to do it. Either the rewards of cheap freight and perceived capacity are worth more than the risk of an insurance issue....or it's just to easy to walk away from liability and start over again...heck if you have no assets or real skin in the game how...

Taking the DPF physically off is not the challenge, it's getting the ECM to believe it is AOK for it not to be there. If...and it's a big if.....the engine actually runs.....unless the ECM programming is very altered to compensate...the first time the ECM tries to do a regen you run a good risk...

So the base rates are the same as they were 9 years ago.... That's progress? Cost of tires, food, vehicles, maintenance... Rates charged to originating shipper.... Profit? Are they the same as 9 years ago?

Have you gotten this recall yet? Them's the brake lights: 10-to-13-year-old Daimler vans face recall | Today's Trucking Wonder if they would automatically do the MAF recall if you brought it in for the above.

Anyone know what the Fed's empty mile rate is now?

Pre 2007..if the valves were adjusted properly and on schedule (and otherwise looked after)...pretty decent motor. After 2007...like any CAT product....not good. CAT quit building truck engines for a reason.

Webasto. Currently on year 5 and the only thing I've done to it is add a digital thermostat. Unit runs almost constantly from December to March. In my fleet days I had experience with both Espar and Webasto. While the Espars did provide a more consistent temperature when it was warmer out...

Noticing alot of phones...no replaceable battery or no headphone jack...or both. Was at Verizon last night...I do like that the Pixel is not loaded up with bloatware...not even the usual Verizon stuff..but as mentioned an internal battery and $$$. Store staff were very anti Samsung....pro Moto...

I inherited a 468Q2 scanner from another application and it works flawlessly with the QC...nice and clear...but was told never to use the "customs paperwork" option ever.. for anything. Would be nice to use it and get more value out of the weekly fee. Use my phone for customs paperwork, many...

I've seen a lot of 52inch bins...usually automotive trim. Widest trailers are only 101.5 inside..so these bins don't fit side by side in a trailer...so it's odd.

If you are running for a carrier that relies on load board bid freight (or you rely on it) the Canadian carriers have an automatic 30% advantage right now and are kicking ass. The new E manifest regulations going into Canada are now also being enforced with zero tolerance.....in addition to...

I lost the picture I had of you beside my bed.......missed ya.

Hey Turtle....did you look at the Pixel phone? I'm overdue for an upgrade from my S5 and the idea of no Samsung bloatware is appealing. S5 has been great but it's starting to act a little wonky at times.

I have hope....Mike on afternoons is pretty good.

Unfortunately my 168 list lately includes ON and MI....this is the first time I've ever sat in Texas longer than 4 days...normally do very well here.

168...again.

Cool....who do you get your insurance through. You can PM me if you don't want to say here.
