    Opinions Please

    Yup, and probably more, like tolls, etc. Another thing is, $712/55 hours = $12.95 per hour, with nothing for on-duty-not-driving. Just throwing that out there...

    New Dodge Promaster VAn

    4Matic is Mercedes' trade name for its all-wheel-drive vehicles. 4Motion is the same, but for Volkswagen. I suspect M-B has enough on its plate with quality issues on the Sprinter (at least here in the States) as to scare them away from dealing with the added complexity of all-wheel-drive on...

    Pay it or fight it

    Is there a way to plead it down? I got a ticket in August. I stopped at an intersection, waited till the traffic cleared, then turned right on red. Oops, missed the No Turn on Red sign. Cop gave me a ticket for running a red light. Went to trial, and was able to plead it down to "failure to obey...

    Been there, done that ...once!

    And until that fact is enshrined in the hearts of every one who sets hand to steering wheel, the situation will not be resolved. Whether you drive a Smart car or a Michigan road train, the truth is this: it is incumbent upon every driver, at all times, to be in control of his or her vehicle and...

    FMCSA New Initiative to Validate Driver Medical Cards

    Two words: HIPAA laws. No receptionist is going to give information over the phone to ANYONE without the prior written consent of the patient.

    Difference in fuel prices, I would guess. My boss always fuels the straight in VA on the way to Harrisonburg....

    My snugger died :(

    Real turtles are reptiles, and are therefore cold-blooded. However, in Kentucky there is a race of warm-blooded Turtles (notice the capitalization) who are nomadic by nature. They also move faster than their reptilian brethren. I will allow a younger person than myself to explain Ninja Turtles...

    The Future of Expediting; Yes or No?

    Could you haul hazmat in one? I know you can't in a regular van (in placardable amounts, at least), but does the bulkhead allow enough separation between cab & box as to allow for hazmat work? Or do the rules require the box to be completely separate from the cab/sleeper? Just curious; I'll...

    Re: Election Over: What, If Anything, Will You Do Different With Your Expedite Busine Outside California? Surely you can't be serious! Don't call me Shirley - YouTube If you're looking for a franchise opportunity, my town could use a Taco Bell... :D

    Election Over: What, If Anything, Will You Do Different With Your Expedite Business?

    Re: Election Over: What, If Anything, Will You Do Different With Your Expedite Busine I can understand why Cali wants new reefer engines; there hasn't been a lot of reefer emissions control until recently (from what I can see on the Mighty Google), and reefers by their nature run more hours...
