I can't say I have ever seen anything that would make me think Pilot cares about their customers. Why are they the most expensive fuel at each exit? Why are the same items almost always cheaper at any other truck stop chain? Why do they have the worst loyalty programs ? We are, to Pilot, a...

I have a LOOOONG way to go but I started with the little things. No more buffet food (I find it to be worse than the menu food), I used to say to myself one restaurant or fast food meal a day was OK, I'm changing that to once a week. I used to think I only had time for fast food stuff but by the...

Vehicles in a booth to me say that you are going after 100% newbs. You are displaying a "look what this can be like" vehicle. I would say that most serious folks already know what vehicles are like. Unless you are selling or leasing trucks, displaying them to me is pretty pointless other than it...

Recruiters who will engage people, if they mill about for more than a minute or two they are interested and not just the baby buggy day crowd. Of course having people IN the display is a natural plus. The first year I went to the expo I could not believe how many displays were just piles of...

Bentley, the Transporter is currently having a bunch of computer issues and is not monitoring EO. If you send me the PM I can forward it to his working e-mail account for you. Just click my screen name on the left and use the "send a private message" link.

Any chance you guys are unhappy with the product they were producing 10 years ago and maybe the newer stuff was better?

???? Regardless of what they pay for an FSC fuel is a cost. If you get better mileage the FSC can turn into an profit item instead of merely a cost offset. A 24mpg van is an FSC profit generator at $3.10 a gallon (with the standard FSC) and a 12 mpg cube is a $13,208 cost. Are there any carriers...

Fuel isn't getting any cheaper, At today's national average price of 3.01/gal and assuming 80,000 total miles per year, the difference between a 15mpg cube and an 18mpg van (if you can achieve those numbers) is $3354 per year. That's pure cost. Are you going to get that many more loads that will...

I asked about that....it's coming. There is a lot of work that needs to be done at FedEx to build the systems required to process the info as it comes in. The plan (as told to me) was to get the new unit rolled out first, then the scanner option to eliminate TripPak is next. They do want to do...

As soon as you get dispatched for a run it puts you as "en route" even if the pickup is 4 miles away and 3 days away. Unless a dispatcher specifically overrides this it happens automatically. When the load canceled you were likely sent a C-Link message as your status was "en route" so it...

I asked about buying my own...wanna guess how much they were willing to reduce the rate charged per week, I would much rather own it and pay for it myself, but it was a dead end conversation.

Sitting in Resaca GA. No other vans here but about 15 other Canadian RV'ers (all parked nicely out of the way where they're supposed to be BTW). We are deciding between Easter dinner inside tomorrow or BBQ.

If I need to be in Detroit, and I often do, I will only stay north of 696, west of 275 or south of xt 32 on 75. I usually end up at the BP on 275 at xt 8 (cheap clean showers). The only time I will stay inside that ring is if I am sitting at DutyFree waiting to cross the bridge, CBP is through...

So keep complaining....all the while you are going "broke". Do you really think complaining in here will generate more loads or revenue? Why is this business almost 100% owner operator? If the carriers could produce a decent ROI on a truck and driver they would be doing it themselves. The way...

I heard they work really well...only in reverse though:rolleyes:

You mean I'm actually supposed to pay attention to you? Sheesh.

Voted on both computers! Moot, you would be the perfect roadie, never met you but always pictured you as the Del Preston character from Wayne's World 2.

Michigan, they lay all that pretty concrete down and in a few years it turns into a suspension test. Then it seems to get ignored for a few after that. New York is a close second, the east end of I-86 is a disgrace. Quebec is third, I don't know what the french phrase is for "fix the pot holes"...

Looks like underinflation, the heat built up in the center of the casing first. Too bad as it looked like it was fairly new!

MATS has, The girls from the local Hooters The Expo has, OVM and his shorts
