Our good old HP computer had the printer crash the other day.tried to get it going to no avail.Finally we deinstalled and reinstalled the Windows 95 (I know it!s old) software. To reinstall AOL it was necessary to call them twice,guess what the old call center was in Virginia,the present call...

On Monday morning I was making a delivery in Pasagoula MS and noticed that the right rear outside tire was low.It looked like I had about 12,000 lbs on board when actually only had about 500. I didn!t pay too much attention to it and after the delivery stopped for cheap MS fuel on I 10 and...

About 10 years ago Roberts had a bunch of them running around outfited just the way you described. They were called super B units. In some cases they took C loads without having to log. Not fair to the C unit folks but who said life is supposed to be fair.

It sounds like a story I heard on the Dave Nemo show. 2 elderly ladies were sitting together on a park bench. One said " Boy my Butt is asleep",the other lady replied" I know,I heard it snoring"..

Male drivers can have problems in rest areas at night also. mainly with other males if you know what I mean. We do the Walmart Super Center circuit also Meyers etc. Park up front and you will be OK.Hint,buy some generic bill of ladings from Office Depot, then fill one out as if you were going...

A little hint for those of us with FDX CC or anyone else who uses Trip Pak to send in their paperwork,is too write down somewhere on your copy the date and the location of the Trip Pak box you used.I heard about a guy that had his paperwork lost by Trip Pak and they wanted to know the box...

I know you don!t want to hear this but none of the major expediting companies will put on a 9 year old van or straight truck. You might find a small start up operation or a local companmy that is looking for a courier type of van to run in a small territory. The major players want reliability...

You know I may try this thing next spring. My weight isn!t bad but I would like to drop about 10 pounds. I have a son getting married in Boston on Memorial Day and I would like the evil B----- that is his mother to see me slim and sexy (lol).

Tony is 100% correct. I have bought 6 straight trucks in my life and when I went to accept delivery I insisted on a 100 mile test drive before I would sign off. One time the salesman bitched and I said OK I will go elsewhere.He came around real fast. On my present truck that I bought from...

I don!t feel that FDX CC has a lock on Memphis freight. But since 10,000 or so people work for FDX in Memphis there will probably be some referral freight coming to FDX CC. Hint, instead of laying over in West Memphis Ar where all of the Expediters stay,try to stay in East memphis. We stay on I...

I say go for it also.A side benefit is that you will find out real fast (a week to 10 days) how your girlfriend feels about you. After she has done the shower bit in the Flying J and has been up night after night,her feelings torwards you may change.

For some strange reason I am extremely familar with that keyboard.I probably use it on a daily basis.

Just curious $144 a week for a standard deduction seems high,are you paying for all of the required insurance??

Well I have become a very humble person as a result of this test.Perhaps the Coors brewing company is responsible for me only having 3 brain cells left.

I was called for a random drug test the other day and on my way home started thinking about how these athletes get away with little minor slaps on their hands when they test positive but our lives and carreers would be ruined. Any of us that drive commercially would be terminated and be unable...

Running two different brands of steering tires could cause your pulling to the right. They may have different thread designs,and if the left one is thicker or has more air pressure it will make the truck veer to the right. I would thnk seriously about getting matching front tires and move those...

Geoguy I don!tknow what part of the Country you live in but if you come to Florida I use a UD Dealer in Jacksonville for the front end alignments. They have the bee Line equipment and as I said earlier the front end guy is simply GOOD,he takes about 2 hours to do the job not 30 minutes like...

I think some very high IQ clerks in a Food Lion supermarket in NC are used to the $200.00 bill.

I had that problem after I ran over a cow that had strayed onto US 58 in Virginia.A semi knocked it down and the right side of my truck ran over it.Hell of a mess.The truck pulled to the right for a long time but I finally found a shop that did a good alignment. Good alignment guys are not easy...
