8550 - 7100 = not a lot of weight you can carry... maybe the new sprinters are not that terrific after all?

Yea OVM, your right. I didn't hear a thing about it until I was in Green yesterday. I was told that it was a big boom for FedEx. I guess I am bored tonight.

OVM, Maybe you have read this? A couple of scientist have come out and said that we are causing the universe to come to an end faster than ever. With the headline in one email I received "Mankind 'shortening the universe's life'" I am now convinced that global warming is nothing compare to...

I know that a few may know about this but anyone going to watch Oprah and see (guess what carrier) who plays Santa Claus this year for her "pet" project? I don't know if I am allowed to give out this state secret or not or maybe it is posted already and I missed it?

I am curious. How many drivers do you suppose don't know what those three letters in the subject, stand for? The reason I am asking, there is a suggestion by our Panther "Driver Council" to change "FAQ" to "Frequently Asked Questions". I know what you mean, I don't know how many know what it...

Some time ago, I was in WV just driving down the road and as look over and see a small brown bear on the side of the road. Someone really hit this guy and ripped it up. I think that it don't matter if it is a deer, bear, antelope or bison - they all can do some real damage and cost big bucks...

“It is considered bad form here in the Open Forum to post specific revenue numbers. At least it seems to be since virtually no one ever does it. So, I am not going to either. Another reason I will not do so is because at least two moderators agree that doing so would only create a destructive...

Force majeure or a greater force beyond your control is in every carrier contract or if it isn't then you should not be running with them. In some cases, sickness can be considered act of God - 30 people getting food poisoning from the T/A buffet is a good example - it affects a lot of people...

RE: Speed up border clearance: Ambassador to US Cu You know I can't understand this, they want to build a new bridge here in the Detroit area to lessen the congestion but no one really understands that it is the same problem at the airport as it is at the bridge and tunnel - the congestion is...

I can't tell you exactly but I think it will safely haul 2300 lbs but I can suggest that you do the following; Take the GVW off the sticker on the door pillar. load all your stuff on the va and take it to the nearest CAT scale, fill it up and weigh it with you and your stuff. Subtract the...

1 - go to the dealer and have the entire exhaust checked. If they can't find the leak, replace it all to be safe. 2 - open the windows and live with the odor. 3 - get a CO2 detector and use that in conjunction with the open windows. 4 - spend the $1500 or what ever it is and get an Espar or...

You have a leak at the roof seams? It sounds like you overloaded the truck at one time and put the thing out of align. I heard that most of these things can't take a lot of torsional stress on the platform. Or am I missing something here, unibody truck, German made to tighter standards than my...

Tonight on the way home on I94, there was a trooper out of his car talking to the driver. I moved over and all of a sudden there was an a** hole who whipped around me and almost hit the trooper. I had a couple discussions with troopers who I know and I don't understand why they don't stay on...

Oh boy break out the charts and forecasts... here we are again. E units are best equipped for any down turn in this industry. WG and Elite units will always see offers over the rest of the fleet. The sad thing is not everyone can get into either WG or Elite. OVM, Hate to break your...

Cheri, Happy Birthday, now you that you reached 29, are you afraid of turning 30?

Sorry Phil this is beyond finances. Dave, contracts are important. Having them written for the purpose to define responsiblities, who get what and how the risk is shared or not shared matters. I agree with Tallcal, but I am not worried about the IRS, they are doing two things, chasing 'lost'...

Tale of four worms? Three blind cockroaches

I remember the idiot news people in Detroit were all over this news story. Apparently someone put below the Detroit city limit sign - Welcome to Detroit.... Hope you survive. The press was all over this as a racist sign but it is a lot closer to the truth than most will admit to. Just as...

I like the firearms stuff, but let's not forget the idea of hauling a gun around in a truck can open you to a few things, the first is getting the state DOT officer ripping your truck apart for drugs (because there is a gun, there is an assumption that there are drugs), the other is crossing...

I may be wrong about this, but didn't someone say sometime ago (and several times) that one should investigate the owner, but provide absolutely no advice on how to really do this other than going to the carrier? Maybe I missed something here but going to the carrier may not be the thing to do...
