Splices seem to be hack jobs with a lot of these trucks. I have tried to repair a bunch on my truck but gave up and used the same old thing - sealed butt connectors. Even some of the "super duper $550k apartment on wheels" I've looked at used crappy splices. The best work (and something I try...

I don't know about that. My understanding is they can check the sleeper equipment only after they get permission, it is still off limits.

It is like the Bush administration and digital TV and radio. We could have used what the rest of the world was using but had to chart our own course and exclude ourselves from that technology, hence access for TV and radio.

Sorry Joe, it really does matter and my comment has zero to do with any rights you have. Your rights end when you are dead. You are standing in line fumbling with change as someone comes up behind you and blows your head off because they see a weapon in your holster and assume you are a cop...

I think it is time we actually force some of these corporations who make outrageous profits to share the profits with all American Workers. Obama can take some of the Obama profit money from the Auto Companies and seed a big fund which will be paid to any American Citizen who works for someone...

A lot of people don't like having truckers who have attitudes while they drive armed either. Just thinking about it. you get into a problem with another truck driver who for a 4 miles have ridden on your a** because there is no where to get out of his way. The other driver is very aggressive...

Sounds like you may have a bad ground on the box.

Service? Doubt it. It sounds like you may have an air leak, how does it do just sitting there with the engine off and the parking brake set? How about with the engine off and the parking brake released? The Governor may need replacing but doubtful ($20 worth the parts in most cases and 20...

Older meaning like 1994?

John, I'm wondering if the freight you are delivering is from NLM or the services are directly from GM through a vendor contract?

If one is not making a profit in the past four months or not making a profit starting off, then they won't make one any other time.

Steve, the sleeper of your truck is your property and subject to the same search laws as your vehicle. They have to get a warrant. The federal laws for truck drivers don't go beyond the cab of the truck except with customs officers (notice the latest Minnesota issue and the 4th amendment). The...

Well of course it caused the problem. Don't you watch them work on the truck? Did you get the leak fixed?

See ... concise and accurate information from your company that helps everyone.

I think that all comes out of the mileage driven, no the plate registration. Contact Panther and get a copy of your IRP mileage and see if they paid it. IF not ask them how they are going to pay it.

I think Phil's and your post are great but it just hit me as funny. I keep seeing this everywhere and no one seems to think there are other sources that could provide a large variety of media outside of Amazon for all readers. By the way, HG wells and Jules Verne is also a great collection. I...

Well I asked GM and Ford this morning about this issue and the response is the same from both of them - it isn't a real policy company wide but a plant by plant policy and it has to do with the security department at the plant location. The people on the dock could care less what they load...

This reminds me of the time when a few were in a panic about logs and their new EOBR system.

I have to laugh, you all sound like you discovered first time slice bread or something. You guys never heard of the Project Gutenberg? Check it out. ALSO there are a few other "Gutenberg" sites, Australia, Canada and others PLUS the EU has a good site, European Commission Cultural site...

Are you speaking of being out of service as a truck under DOT rules or company policy?
