    Are You Prepared For a Stolen Truck?

    Dave, You can't prepare for everything. Most of the stolen trucks don't seem to be expediter units but rather tractors that are non-descript and many of them are stolen because of the contains of the trailer - in other words blend in. How many super-duper apartment on wheels stick out, even...

    stolen van AND MY DOG 2 YEAR OLD YORKIT

    I'm wondering a couple things but preface this with a sincere hope that the dog is found. 1- why was the dog in the van alone (my wife actually asked)? 2 - the cell phone company will track the phone if the cops ask. Did you tell the cops that you had left your phone in the van and ask them...

    Texas court to rule on death penalty constitutionality

    Beside the Turtle/Witness show going on here, I wonder how a state judge is going to make a determination and judgment that is going to be binding within the state on a matter that is reserved for a federal judge to make? If he was making the judgment based on the Texas constitution, then I...

    GOP gets queasy over earmark ban

    Well right now this is a worthless point because this congress is not the one going to be seated come January. However it shows the US voter that the republicans just don't get it.

    Bush-era tax cuts

    First thing is the word Tax Cut not be used. The second thing is to leave them alone. When ever people, especially educated people use the terms "billionaire" and "tax cut" in the same paragraph, it is to tell us how intelligent they are simply because people who achieved that title do not...

    3500 Sprinter without wheel wells in cargo area?

    Tractorman, Is there a way to turn off that thing "Posted with my Droid EO Forum App"? To answer your question - nope. The dual wheels are used because of the tire rating for that size. A normal junky american slop bucket van, like my '73 dodge has a single tire rated at the rating you will...

    west coast runs

    The best way to find out is to make a list of them and call them. MOST of the majors will run out west, a lot of them have enough work for people who are based out there but the problem with asking the question is that many will complain that there isn't enough work there but want to get back...

    slow.....

    Charles, John, There is a serious problem to that for the driver/owner, the carrier has to make it clear that there is an agreement or this is a 3pl load. MOST if not almost all carrier do not communicate these arrangements with the driver/owner at the time of accepting the offer and if an...

    Lots of snow coming

    It amazes me that you guys/gals are just learning about snow. Don't any of yous' get that framers almanac and read it? Moot, don't you have like 10,000 lakes up there? Isn't it the combination of the lake's Viking power that caused some winter thing to happen, like the Lutfisk festival...

    checking it out

    Well think of it this way, you are in a hurry to get somewhere to wait. Seriously. It is what you would consider ad hoc on-demand freight (yes I did use those together). It is where you are in a position of being lucky to get an offer by being in the right place at the right time that the...

    3500 Sprinter without wheel wells in cargo area?

    It's less than 48 inches but it can be done. A platform takes about 6 inches of height off the top. it is easier to get the wheelwells cut and modify the suspension than it is to use a platform. By the way I have only seen this done once but using a different wheel with a different offset...

    Naming Bad Fleet Owners

    I do too but it is spooky I am reading things that he said didn't matter or wasn't the case only a couple years ago with the hundreds of times I repeated them here and another place. Maybe he will come around and admit to that LUCK does actually exist.

    Has release of Wikileaks documents cost lives?

    You got to be joking? You on drugs, seriously? If we, the people want to have any accountability it is a sword that cuts both ways. The private who turned over the material must also be held accountable as much as anyone you feel should be for 'crimes' that have been committed. This...

    Depends. If you want to pick up work transporting "special cargo" that you have to feed on the way to their destination, then yes it can be a lucrative place to go.

    Wikileaks' struggle to stay online

    Thanks, the BBC has been a good source. But I find the article on the climate summit interesting too, all these people go to Mexico with their private jets and security teams to hold a summit on climate change instead of just having a phone conference.
