I heard on my local radio station today that Art Bell will be returning to all night radio effective Feb 5,2001. Now we can go back to UFO stories,alien abductions,near death experiences,etc.I always found Art to be very entertaining while driving on those all night trips.After a while the...

Did they give you a reason for termination? I have heard of about 4-5 people being let go and they seem to think it!s based on availability and refusals.What!s interesting is that the ones being let go all have many years with the company.Perhaps they want new blood that doesn!t complain and...

Most of the major players are located in the midwest.I think you might try Landstar Express America as they deal with individual agents and they probably have someone in the Portland area.Also there is a company that runs a ad on this site called Sunny Express.I believe they are in California..

Gary I agree with the previous post,Lets give it a rest.Al Gore lost because he ran a terrible campaign,absolutely bombed on the debates particularly the last one where he was running around like a chicken with his head cut off ,and had to deal with Tipper hating Bill,so he could not use Bill...

I have a Cummins C 225 with a Fuller 6 speed and generally get between 11-12.5 MPG,Thats running at 65 mph or less. Sometimes running out west with strong east winds might drop down to 10,I have 460,000 miles on the engine and have never gotten less then 10. It is a excellent durable,cheap to...

Dinger would you by any chance be my friend whose initals are D.E.??If you are I will tell everyone you can believe this man..

I guess what I don!t understand is how the reduction in the advance affects the contractor/driver business relationship.Fedex CC is still loading the card so a driver can say I am paid by Fedex Cc and a small amount from Joe Bob!s Express,assuming he or she is getting 50%. Whatever,now we have...

You make a good point but as I said the comcard is assigned to the truck and the owner of the truck is the one receiving the funds.If the owner wishes to give the driver 50% ,that is between the owner and the driver.Fedex CC is not paying the driver but the owner of the truck.It!s the drivers...

My FL 70 is a 1996 model and has the same problem,however I think it is a design problem.The so called floor vents are nothing more than small grille type inserts on the bottom of the dash and very little heat come out of them. One thing that I found was one of the air hoses behind the dash was...

I believe the wording of that letter was 100% off base. The comcard is assigned to the truck,not a individual driver. The truck is owned by someone so funds paid into the com account are actually the truck owners,and how they wish to disperse it is their business.One thing that I heard which may...

Expediting generally classifies trucks as follows: A unit small van or pickup with a cap that can carry 500 lbs B unit.usually a 1 ton cargo van C unit,a small staight truck that must be capable of carrying up to 5000 lbs and have a minimum of 12 feet available. D unit a staight truck that can...

Weave I have never had trouble with the mirrors but about 3 weeks ago,I was coming down I 79 in West Va at night,the temp was about 14 degrees and my throttle linkage fell apart.I was able to repair it,kept going and it fell apart the next morning near Atlanta.I put it all back together again...

Even that bastion liberal newspaper the Washington Post has called for AG to give it up.One thing for sure is that the world who looks upon us ALL as a bunch of dumb a-- truckers has never reviwed this site..

Gary,I don!t think I will ever hold my head in shame.We have had to put up with Bill Clinton for 8 years and that is enough shame for a lifetime. However when does this thing end? The democrats petioned for recounts in selected areas. They were given an additional week. The recounts were then...

Well what has happened to our colleague Garry Addis. Gary I figured,based on what has happened over the last few days you would have had a lot to say.Are you disgusted with the Democrats litigating over any issue that they can find.I wonder why Al (lets count them again)Gore only wanted heavily...

I don!t know if you received my E mail so I will post my answer here.What you are referring to is called landing gear. This what supports the front of a trailer when the tractor is removed. Any truck body or trailer repair facility should be able to help you on this. Another term is dolly...

Kyle and Neo.Thank you for your comments.I am not burned out on Expediting,Frankly I enjoy the lifestyle and the every day is different routine. I realize that all markets change and the change may not always benefit you as a individual. However I have never made decisions on a emotional...

Try asking for Load Lock bars,or if you have E tracks ask for E track bars.Most general truck supply or material management companies will have them.Barring that a good sized truck stop will have them,but you will pay a premium..

To add some fuel to the fire,yesterday(thanksgiving) I was parking my truck near my son!s house in Suwanee GA and a car pulled in and the driver was the wife of the Atlanta sales agent for FedexCC.In the course of a nice conversation I mentioned how I was concerned over this UrgentFreight Load...

Sure hope they make it.Someone once said " If you have a accident in a Yugo, you go""
