    what a nite

    We were on our way to Texarkanna and had to pass thru Memphis. Unfortunately I was approaching Memphis at 4pm on Friday the 7th of March. I was about 100 miles out when things got snowy. Six hours later I pulled into J in W Memphis. I saw 20-25 vehicles either in ditches or involved in...

    Opening Day!!!

    I luv baseball. Cant get enough of it. I got XM radio in the truck so I listen to all the Tribe games I can, it makes those all niters a lot easier especially when Cleveland is on the west coast. But, I cant afford to go to the ol ball park as often as I did as a youngster. It is pretty...

    General Economic Conditions

    Blog, journal, or whatever floats your boat is okay with me. its all media when made public and what it is called is for some-one much younger than me to decided. i've been around long enough to have some liberty in expression, even if it is off line a little at times. I try for accuracy, but...

    General Economic Conditions

    Sometimes I agree with Phil other times I find him self serving. But who doesnt fall somewhere between those points. What i find more annoying is a "moderator" who has a personal vendetta of some sort, butting into very blog written by Phil. I find this attitude to be annoying and...

    IdleAire is Struggling

    Like a cheap motel, the couple of time we used Idle aire, the air pumped in stunk. I dont understand how it retains the stale smell of cigs when it draws outside air, but it stinks none the less. I dont envision using them again.

    Sleeper Essentials

    Linda and I have been lucky to start out in D units with the Bentz SST100 condo. The fold down bed is big enough for the two of us, I am 6'4" and stretch out on it. We did add a 4" memory foam mattress on top of the regular one. That improved our rest immediately. A microwave, frig, apu...

    What are they thinking?!

    I have often wondered about this as well. Wouldn't it be great if a dispatch offer came across in say, maybe three beeps, a general message such as safety in one beep. You'd be able to tell audibly if it was necessary to read the message immediately. I like the blackberry idea or cell phone...

    Secure parking lots?

    Having been a musician,traveling with equipment for over 10 years in my youth, I sympathize with your situation. Being older and resistant to being a roadie again, I would make arrangements with an audio/visual company and have them set-up the equipment. They can handle all types of seminars...

    Ohio CDL Question

    I stand corrected, you must have a physical prior to taking any of the skills test, including the off road. As for all the bus drivers in Ohio being badasses, dont know, I can only vouch for me. dabluzman DR4426 Fedex CC WG

    Ohio CDL Question

    Chilly, When you get your CDL issued they will use your old DL #. I would wait until you pass all three test, pre-trip, skills and road test, before taking the physical. Good luck. dabluzman DR4426 Fedex CC WG

    Original Thinking CR-unit

    While on a p/u last August I met the couple that I believe had this unit built. They are long time expediters who really liked Volvo and over head reefer units. The condo maker said they would have to go with a different design as it would prevent the reefer from being installed. The driver...

    there goes this years bonus

    So are you saying the BONUS will be in the mail after all? Now on the serious side, do you really believe what happens to Fedex Ground will stay completly independent from any of the other Divisions or not impact other Companies for that matter. If this holds up to the tune of 319 million for...
