    Truckstops and cleanliness

    I'm not, actually I am laughing about it. See I am imagining a spotless flying J with employees who are clean, in uniform and always washing their hands and actually smiling. They work very hard to produce great truck stop slop and put it out for the great mass of professional drivers to come...

    Canada Ambassador Bridge De-construction?

    What risk? He has no risk, the bridge makes money, and the money is put back into the bridge to keep it up in the air. Under the proposals, he still would keep the bridge, it would be still operational for some reason and not neglected by the users. I think we need to look at things a bit...

    Our Pending Doom

    I know many seem to be concerned about our debt and how China holds a lot of the debt but I was listening to a good conversation this morning on one of them economic webcasts, this one was about the EU and Greece. The problem seems that if Greece falls, then the EU may falter and if they...

    Truckstops and cleanliness

    So they serve the food out of the buffet for you? I would think if a customer has access to the food as their own server for example, there is no standard being met. The customer doesn't take sanitation or food handling courses.

    Canada Ambassador Bridge De-construction?

    Yea layout that is true but neither did he. I say in the interest of the general welfare of the nation, the court should proceed to take it from him, give him a check for the value of the scrap metal in the bridge and allow someone else to get going on the project. I absolutely don't like...

    Larry Brown Ticketing Truckers

    Highway, This is practiced overseas and south of our border but we did away with on the spot payments like a long long time ago. How can he ticket anyone unless he is a cop and if he is, then his jurisdiction is limited to just that, his jurisdiction. I think it would be a prudent thing...

    Why a drug test at all? You filled out an application? Why a medical? I don't know but someone in a wheelchair gets a waiver to driver but can't preform a lot of the tasks and someone who has type one diabetes has to jump hoops to get the waiver, a bit weird. The next thing is the BMI...

    Cheri, the problem isn't the record keeping but the dispatchers themselves. A lot of them are in a hurry, many of them don't read notes like Lift Gate, Reefer Unit or capacity 10,000 lbs and still a number of them just learned how to spell T R U C K but are dispatching nonetheless. I know this...

    I am wondering about this; Do you have time to tell the dispatcher you have a pet and ask if it alright to take it on the property? I know one company is in a hurry to dispatch loads, so I would think they wouldn't call or make it a point to answer the question properly but how about the others?

    Why would you need a medical when they are not insuring you with medical or life insurance? How about drug tests? You do do randoms?

    EOBR - Calendar

    OMG Phil, You have been in a frick'n panic, going on and on about this EOBR thing for a while and it seems to be getting a bit too funny. Get a Grip with all of this. You are complicating something that is SOOOOOO SIMPLE. THE IRS doesn't care what proof you have, as long as they can see...

    CSA 2010 and vans

    It gets confusing, especially when a few are saying yes and others are saying no. The problem seems to be that the FMCSA is focusing on drivers and permitted carriers, which I think is one of the issues. As a van driver, most carriers require you to submit an annual citations report, have...

    Sprinter Buying Advice?

    Not all the time. If it was a penske/ryder truck maybe. I would at least get an Oil Analysis done and take the vin to a dodge dealer that is still open and willing to get off their butt to see what work may be done to it, what warranty is still there and any open recalls. A lot of stop and...

    NYC's Times Square closed

    Oh there you go, we need to stop this citizenship stuff NOW. NO MORE should we allow people to become citizens because they may do something like this or drive Sprinters and take work away from Straight Trucks. :p
