    S.C. valedictorian ignores FFRF, others

    From my understanding the students can bring up religion for discussion but the faculty cannot, although they can answer questions. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    Any body know how to open 2010 sprinter hood......

    Well if Murraycroexp's idea is a no go you might be able to go through the grill. I am not familiar with Sprinters but I had the same thing happen to my car when I was a broke student. I could see the hood latch through the grill opening and I pulled the cable out as far as I could and cut it...

    CVSA blitz

    That's the beauty of small claims court, if they don't show you get a default judgement that is easily enforced by taking their property. I don't know this for a fact but I would venture a guess that those DOT officers will have bonds, just like regular cops that can be filed against. I would...

    It's tough on small carriers to have things like that happen because there isn't money for a legal department. We take safety seriously and have a solid CSA score which is currently around 23%, we were at 19% until this last inspection. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    All drivers at our company get a paid membership to OOIDA and the report says it was 2 pebbles so I believe it will be fought. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    Ground flight : modern day crooks?

    That comment is a key indicator of the types of things I'm sure drivers hear from the office. "What do you mean you can't drive 1400 miles straight through?" "I'm sure it doesn't need 4 wheels, quit being a safety fruit and just run it". Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    June locations and did you see that flying DR unit?

    It was probably a CV driver that couldn't afford a new one. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    CVSA blitz

    I mentioned in another thread that originally I had planned to go home but realized I was just giving up. I thought about it and I know my equipment is safe so I decided to run and not worry, the problem comes from those certain types of inspectors. We recently had a driver get put OOS for an...

    Is trucking a good substitute for divorce?

    Have you considered the benefits a mistress could provide? (Sarcasm) Truck driving could be a way to push the relationship in another direction because it will completely change everything your marriage has become. You may just need to go to a marriage counselor, they can help express feelings...

    Is trucking a good substitute for divorce?

    The last thing you want to do is go from a job making $20k to one making $55k then get divorced. It could mean your ex will be entitled to part of your earnings, especially if they supported you while you were in school/training. If it doesn't change your income a great deal then alimony may not...

    Changeup - Ask the Driver! Roadcheck 2013

    Originally I was going to go home but decided I would just stay out and keep doing my job the way I always do because I don't want to bow down to the tyranny of the DOT. There were a lot of people that looked like they had issues at the scale on the north side of DC. Sent from my SCH-I535...

    TMC Transport

    The one issue with a typical flatbed company is tarpping, it is time consuming and you get paid very little for it. There might be some other companies out there for vans to consider first and then switch to a flatbed company later so you can go with one that requires driving experience. If you...

    The dreaded "Misfire".....

    I'm wondering if it is a worn ignition coil absorbing heat when you stop which later cools down from air flow once you get moving. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app
