    Suggestion Box Thread

    I saw where turtle sugested a 12 hour limit on in service sleeping. I do understand his reasoning. IMHO 11 is much to long and would allow mass abuse when at the yard. I would suggest more like 4 hours otherwise go out of service. I say this knowing that people have even abused the out of...

    Suggestion Box Thread

    Does this mean people would not be called while they were sleeping in service? If so on the surface it sounds like a great idea but I have to say I see a huge potential for abuse especially when people are in the Detroit area. I guess with all things we have to weigh the good with the bad but it...

    Oh, That Hour is Comming Back

    One of my favorite days of the year. Much rather have longer light in the evening than morning. Even better when we have sunset after 9pm in the summer!

    A few weeks checks is not a valid way to look at income in this business. We all want every week to be a good one but it just isn't going to happen. I know it is hard and we all fight it when we have some bad weeks but have to remind ourselves that the next few can turn it all around.

    another stupid question

    If you want to stay that close it is a whole different game. Most likely none of the companies discussed on this site will work for you. Time to search local companies and speak with them about what they are looking for and what kind of truck they can put on.

    another stupid question

    You need a sleeper for this job, do not even consider a truck without one. Your best bet is to talk to recruiters at companies your interested in working with. Their requirements can change often depending on work loads in any given month.

    I think I will leave the selling to the pro's. Best thing I can do is look and act professional, smile and say no problem if a dock worker upsets me.

    We do get loads in and out of the Carolina's on a consistent basis. Like anything else in expedite sometimes are better than others for them.

    Experience, shmecksperience

    I have to admit by often being humored hearing some talk about expediting. It isn't rocket science, pick up at point A deliver to point B. If you can manage that you can do the job. Of course you can get into best places to set, saving fuel and all the other things but the basics of the job...

    MPG sprinter info needed

    The 07 -08 seem to get about the worst mileage in the sprinter line up. I have drove an 07 for over 3 years. At 65 mph and little wind you will average around 19 - 19-5 with a head or side wind it can drop fast you can lose 1 - 2 mpg in the wind. Go up to 70 mph and it only gets worse.

    Chardon High School, near Cleveland Oh, SHOOTING

    If they can't get then gun into the school they can't shoot someone? I guess the gun won't work if it's not inside the school.
