    Pre Pass

    http://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/SMS/Data/carrier.aspx?enc=rGzcNcN9InOSchbHyntQi1Oyzz7nV49eE0GppGhIMAk= This is why your getting redlighted. Here again, if it weren't for the speeding and seat belt violations, your carrier wouldn't be targeted.

    Pre Pass

    Not sure I follow you on that. When I had pre-pass, I loved it. The benefit was hardly ever having to cross the scales. Giving the dot another door into your company might be a problem...I don't know. I was a company driver then. I never knew of it causing problems. I do see it as a time stamp...

    What is your position?

    As long as the company is consistent with practical miles, I dont worry over it if there is the occassional mishap. There are also occassions where you'll be paid for more miles than it takes to run it. Depending on the difference, I dont usually mention it UNLESS those extra miles are going...

    Experience/Advice on switching to expedite career.

    Well, I passed this up to let some of the experienced vanners reply, but...... From the research I have done, I think your numbers are possible. But I think they are above what most consider something to count on. I would figure 30-35.

    GPS units, which is the best for over the road driving???

    I have a Garmin 700 series and it has been a great unit for around 4 years now. One thing I did before I bought it was I went to the Garmin website. They have (at least did have) a really nice comparison option where you could pull up 4 or 5 units and compare them against each other. I was able...

    Lowrider box truck

    Innovative...to say the least. With some mods and a 10k gvwr that could be pretty awesome.

    Shore Power

    One of the biggest potential problems I saw with the tse terminals was that the terminals I saw were placed right next to the parking slot for the t/t's. I just can't imagine them surviving there for any length of time. If you put them behind the parkin space, you have to allow for overhang of...

    Shore Power

    I vote on everything he says....times 10! I would like to see a full range of tv and movies available, but it has to be an option. If I only need power today, I dont want to be forced into buying power+tv+etc, etc. Sell me the basic need, then allow me to customize my own upgrades.

    Shore Power

    Thank you to ShorePower for participating in the discussion. I feel that the $1/ hr is a good target. If you sell your service with cash or prepaid cards like IdleAire did when they first started, you will have to have some way for a person to use up any unused time that they have available to...

    Senate Proposes New 100k Surity Bond For Freight Brokers!

    Something that I would think to be a better regulation than the one being proposed would be something along the lines of a variable bond. It would have provisions for the smaller broker to operate with a smaller bond, but the amount of freight they could move would be limited by the amount of...

    Senate Proposes New 100k Surity Bond For Freight Brokers!

    Exactly. I understand Blizzard's position and believe me, I'm all about the little guy who can stick his neck out and put a plan together to do something on a larger scale. The problem comes from the fact that in this business, the little guy that sticks his neck out and fails takes a lot of...

    There goes them YRC loads some carriers do.....

    Somewhere deep within the confines of YRC headquarters, in a "top secret" meeting. Joe says to Bob "Hey, what would happen if we stopped competing against each other for this here freight". Bob says " Well, it sure would make my life a lot easier. I've cut my prices so deep now that I'm basicly...
