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...

    How would this work?

    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.

    Any company hiring 1994 or newer Cargo Vans?

    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...

    Driveline Vibration

    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...

    Expediting in Memphis TN?

    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...

    still searching for info

    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.

    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.

    Random Tests

    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...

    FL80 pulling to the right

    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...

Good alignment guys are not easy...
