    #2 Hazmat Packet?

    It might be referring to the haz mat section in your bundle of permits. Are they up to date (the yellow ones expire) etc.

    Are you being followed?

    I get followed all the time. I drive 57 mph, and I get either spies, drunks, idiots or hypermilers (also idiots) that stay so close I can't even see them in the mirrors. If the road is empty I just knock off the cruise and coast down until they get the hint, or if there is other traffic I just...

    Why didn't I get that load?

    If everyone rejects it, they still gotta get it moved...so they ADD money to the load. If you pay attention to where you are and where others are around you....you can work this situation to your advantage sometimes:D.

    Why didn't I get that load?

    Phil, in surface expedite anyways, this is impossible to do without the dispatch supervisor approval and it is documented when it happens. ANY time a dispatcher does anything against what the system recommends (adds $$ or different truck etc.) it all has to be documented on the screen and...

    Sign on bonus with fdcc

    I know they are recruiting hard. I met up with a newb van the other night for a transfer, extremely nice lady, has no chance of surviving. In the brief conversation I had I gleaned that it's a hotel every night, is turning down half the runs because they are too long (:eek:), leaves home town...

    two ideas for better cooling of the CV

    What do you do to keep it on the glass in the wind or damage free from the other elements (including tj wizzing on it)? I agree on the mini furnace thing! I have a dark cover for the winter that I use purposely as a furnace.

    thermo-electric coolers and amps

    I can echo eb's experience. I have had Colemans and Koolatrons and neither would reliably keep things like milk from going bad in any weather. I also found them to be power hogs for what they did. For the last 2 years I have run a Dometic fridge/freezer. Yes it cost a LOT more than a Coleman but...

    Health and Fitness

    I often wondered that myself? My neck has not changed much since high school yet my waist certainly has. My neck (using the very scientific poke it with your finger test) appears to be very un fat.

    Chevy A-arm stop

    Moot, there should be an inch of space there. It is not an end of the world condition though, so you can plan for new springs when the time suits you. The geometry of the arm to the bump stop is about 4 to 1 so it is OK for a while. So keep contemplating life and corrosion for a while yet, the...

    Are you being macromanaged?

    So..HE unplugs his QC so he can get this great run, and then complains he has to run this great run as a sleepy driver. His carrier and he are 2 hours apart in knowing what the real timeline is as far as his on duty status. He complains also that he must drive faster than he wants (sleepy) to...

    Pigs and buffets

    Piper's favorite restaurant is in Kitchener, has only one cook/waitress, she's been the same one for 22 years and for some reason she seems to like me. Plenty of parking for 1 pickup and 1 Sprinter. Free shower too! Husky's in Ontario are awful. Piper avoids them at all cost. Anything in...
