Solar panels? OK here is one scoop, I think Turtle may have a lot more info. Sorry for the scattered info. They have been using solar panels on RVs for while. RV=truck, about the same. Some RVers have been off grid while in the southwest and enjoying a near free living style. There is no...

Well Actually that may be nixed completely or at least reduced to a small passenger van market without the commercial van in the line up. They are reconsidering some of their commercial options to focus on other things. And if people are thinking of leasing a Chrysler product, they dropped...

How do they do the safety thing? Does that mean if you have 95% safety rating, you didn't hit a bus full of nuns or something?

Actually this is exactly on subject with regards to what the company and contractor must continue to do to remain in business. This idea that we must service the customer means little when it comes to operating costs and profit. The customer will find a way to get things shipped but most of...

I don't know where you think the customer is the boss, most of the time they do not have a thing to do with the company or the relationship between company and contractor. The thing is that many want to have the company to take care of everything but they fail to see that they are 'contracted'...

The economy will turn around after November, well not exactly turn around but either get worst or stay the same.

Political intimidation? Oh like what the UAW uses or the teamsters used to use or like what the teachers union uses to keep power? How about not forgetting about the consumer who has to pay for these higher wages, deal with a the lack of accountability and a bunch of other stuff that causes...

The funny thing is, there are a few things that don't show up with the VRU or the cLink that shows up in front of the dispatcher.

Back haul team? find that Julie person or what ever her name is and ask her how she get the favor of having FedEx book the loads off of the load boards for her. I have been told that they will never do that for any reason, so someone is getting some favors, so you should too.

It's funny, religion has zero to do with this issue. You all know that there is a couple schools that teach these people how to beg and knowing a couple of these real winners, they make more money begging and pan handling than many van owners make driving for FedEx or Panther. If I remember...

chicken wire and duct tape? You mean change and masking tape, right?

It is amazing, maybe there is a reason that the Sarin story was ignored? Obama's handlers will make this out as a victory for him, put that Stalin spin on it - After an exhasted search, Obama single handed returns the pilfered items from the Baghdad museum of antiqueities for the Iraqis who are...

The Electronic On Board Recorders are legal to a point - the FMCSA has some incomplete regulations on EOBRs. But the software logging issue has come up and bit a few of us on the a** lately - film at 11 about that issue.

I really feel if they are using the word “opportunity” it really is tricking the contractor into thinking that there is more work out there than there really is. The proper word is offer. I think this is another employee v. contractor point that was being made in another thread.

I am sorry, but you are ignorant to real issues and how they effect the country. We have not lost one civil under the Patriot Act, fallicy. We have how ever lost civil liberties under Kelo v. New London and under Hamdan v. Rumsfeld and Boumediene v. Bush in that order. These three cases have...

P51, that is one of the problems with a bunch of systems, an assumption that you are not driving if the truck is sitting for a while. I assume when you mean electronic logs you don't mean software logging that is installed in on a computer.

Corn and Pigs

what posts? Maybe I can't too... a lot would like to see that happen.

This by far is the best explanation I have seen yet.
