I've always wondered: If it tastes like chicken, why not just eat chicken?:confused:

I think I found some of what you guys lost.:(

Have you looked at the Work-Rite Load Assist. Your van will ride normally without a load.

Any idea how it would effect team operation? How about the sleeper berth time? We we still be able to run 70 hours in 8 days? Will we still have a 14 hour window before our clock runs out? We run 10 on and 10 off now. We usually take an hour break between switching drivers for a meal and...

I was told that if it is not a DOT required lamp and the DOT Officer puts an inoperable lamp on the report, you should ask him to state that the lamp in question was not a required lamp or to identify the inoperable lamp. This is challengeable on your CSA 2010 score.

Hungry aliens :eek:

These statements should apply to all fleet owners and anyone who owns a business. If you are under capitalized and over extended you are doomed to failure. A fleet owner of vans, straights or tractors needs to have enough operating capital to cover there expenses for several months regardless of...

There are always three sides to every story. His side, your side and the truth. ripoffreport.com is a great place to name names and let your side be heard.

Thanks for the link. Trying to tell a scale cop with an attitude and a ticket book that he/she is not doing there job correctly or flat out wrong is not a good idea. Better to take what they give you and try to fight it later.

I actually considered the idea of buying 2 new Sprinters with Midway or Hanvey sleepers at a cost of about 52k each. (not what I would call low cost vehicles) My plan was to find a couple of good H/W Teams to run them on a 60/40 split. But as with many other ideas this one has been put on the...

I like electronic devices, but when it comes to reading, I prefer a good old fashioned book. Preferably hard cover.

I guess I don't understand. Why would a religous law be considered in a public court? Does this mean I can move to Oklahoma, join a whacked out religion and then claim in court that I did whatever bad thing I am accused of doing as being protected under the first amendment as freedom of religion?

I have been reading in other threads about fees that carriers are charging their O/O's. I was not aware of these types of fees as I have only contracted with FedEx CC and I am only familiar with there charges. The only deductions FedEx CC has taken from my settlement are a QC fee, work...

You should get free Tripak and there should be no expense on your part to submit the BOL. The company you are contracted with needs those BOL's so that they can bill the paying party. Why should it cost you anything to get it to them?

I could understand them doing it when you first sign on, but what is the justification for continuing to charge it year after year? Are the truck owners expected to pay for the operating costs of the company? What are you getting for your money? The best way to put a stop to these types of...

I think that Load 1 is actually operating the way that all of the companies should. Only bring on a certain amount of vehicles that they believe they can keep loaded with good paying freight. What's the point in having 1000 units if you can only keep 300 loaded. Having 700 units sitting will...

I've never heard of the trucks that are part of a fleet getting better pay or preferential treatment. Could you elaborate? I know that there are around 30 trucks that are running semi dedicated at a flat rate. Are those the trucks that you are saying are getting the good runs?

We have never been forced to take a run that we did not want. But we have been able to negotiate enough in our favor to make taking a run we did not want attractive enough to do it.

Have you tried using the cruise control to bump the RPM's up? 19 degrees, no heat, no idle? I'd be checking into a nice hotel room.

I thought it was a case of "Wild Turkey"
