ROFLMAO!!!!! No, I've never heard of that, but I'm glad it wasn't over the cb or I woulda crashed laughing! Mrs... what's worse? Going on the highway, or in a bottle which gets chucked out the window when it's full? There was an article from EO Home that was talking about the lawn mowers...

You're correct. My company is almost done getting verified. That will be so nice not having to stop. They never have anything good to eat in the machines :9

All you need is birth certificate and drivers license, not SSN card. If you have a passport, go for it. If not, it isn't worth getting one. Besides, having your birth certificate ensures you get your free meal at Denny's :+

mcbride, Express-1 doesn't have company drivers anymore. Too bad. They can send them to Chicago to pick up freight for us. :7

With my company, we get paid for getting stuck at customs over an hour if it's the shipper's fault. Usually, they get something wrong on the paperwork, send you to the wrong broker, or not call it in on time for PARS to kick in. I haven't gone to customs yet this month, and had two Canadian runs...

I'm not talking about the wait time to get into the country... just customs. Yeah, the bridge can be nasty, to say the least. Try and listen for bridge times. US customs are a different entity. You don't have something like PARS, though they're trying to get PAPS moving. Unfortunately, the...

For all you expeditors who are afraid of Canada...why? Did you hear the horror stories about customs being 5 hour wait? That doesn't happen anymore. It's rare that you even have to stop at customs. Shippers are usually more organized with their customs paperwork since they get charged if...

Nice addition, Lawrence! Can't wait to see what comes up here :7

Leo... I went to Knoxville Freightliner and their trucks seemed great... especially the class 8s. Only reason I didn't get one was because I couldn't be financed. Now that I'm an o/o and have to think about money, I believe I'd rather get two trucks than pay 60k for that class 8. Maybe later...

Thanx, everyone, for your replies! I'm going to try and get my money back from Freightcrapper, and find a new local mech. So far, the truck hasn't had any problems. Crossing my fingers. THawk

Thanx Glen... I needed to vent cause I'm just starting out, and they not only took most of my fuel money, but they wasted Monday and Tuesday for me. I just wanted people to know to watch that place. I live in the Detroit area, so that's why I went to them. Unfortunately, I don't know any diesel...

I was wondering if anyone had any dealings with Wolverine Freightliner West in Ypsilanti, MI. If so, how did yours go? Here's mine: Started out Friday when I took the truck in for a faulty reading on the coolant temp gauge along with a few other things which they neglected to fix the week...

Don't mean to be a drag here. Unfortunately, too many of us go to bed after Jay Leno and wake up at 5 or 6 and work a 12 hour day or worse. And we wonder why our kids are getting to be like the devil incarnate. We are a society that doesn't put enough emphasis on taking care of ourselves and our...

You'll do ok with Panther running teams. They'll keep you busy.

What are you saying, Broom? That you're signing with FedEx but didn't want to in the first place?

John Kerry did worse... he burned the flag with Hanoi Jane when he got back. I served in Desert Storm, not that it matters to my opinion. I'm just glad I got out before Clinton got in office. Personally, I'd rather have Clinton in than Kerry though. No action is better than undecided actions...

That's pretty amazing... especially seeing that the party wants to nullify our military power has all these vets serving. What a bunch of sellouts! You'd think that since alot of them served in the "Korean Conflict", they'd see the uselessness of their beloved UN. Makes ya wonder who's paying...

very simple answer to that, Bill... buy it at WalMart :7

I did some checking for you on different expeditors. DMW Expediting is out of Nashville. Metro Express is out of St. Louis, but they only want T/Ts. Check out the advertisers here to see which one suits you best. If you want to be home more, in that area, I would say drive a van. It's alot...

Actually Sharp, the guy said it was a rusted clamp that broke. Apparently, it's a common thing. I realized our problems weren't connected today when I looked underneath to find nothing... I have a stack exhaust ROFL :7 :P :7 :P
