"Handed my two copies through the window." David, Last Friday when I crossed and for the first time I was told in no uncertain terms that I was ever, ever to hand a Canadian officer two copies of a manifest for any reason. She wasn't rude but firm with her 'instructions'. I did get both...

"Sadly, it seems the time for impeachment has arrived." Leo, that time came and went.

Hey I have pretty feet!

Where Was I? Sitting in a cubical dealing with people who didn’t care about it when it happened and later dealing with a manager who didn’t really understand the event or what actually happened. I was in NYC Friday after as part of a bunch of loads coming from Baxter and J&J as part of...

Sorry guys/gals for most it is not a big deal not to have a cdl but for many of us feel that if you drive commercially interstate, you should have a cdl. I know that a cdl does not guarantee that they person will be able to drive safely but it does limit the companies who don't care about safety...

Fels Neptha or Borax soap shave some off the former and mix it with water, soak the socks with it for 30 minutes and then rub them a little before you wash and wash with regular detergent. Use the latter on the strong side, soaking the socks for 10 minutes in the soapy water while in the...

rode2rouen Thank you for the info, the reason I am asking is to see what an adapter would be worth to some who want to see what was going on with the engine and drive train.

"TVAL equipment is high-tech, state-of-the-art stuff." Huh? high tech? It seems to me that the technology used for part of the temp validation is a few years behind the rest of the world.

I am wondering if anyone has purchased the adapter for the class 7/8 trucks to see the info about the engine and drive train on a laptop? And if you did, what do you think about it?

Sorry hedgehog, I have the new AT&T and have the tower problem and all sorts of dropping calls in places where I should not, like downtown LA. Cheri, I had a long conversation with the guys at AT&T about turning off the phone bit and they told me that the firmware (the stuff that runs the...

Well I can't just point to any one location but seeing that the trucks have DOT numbers on them, there wouldn't be an exception to this - all companies must report and provide tax funds to the different agencies.

yes

Wasn't this already asked? If so the answer is the same, there is too much that goes into building a reefer box it is far better to find one used and stick it on there. The other question is about t-val, why would you want to do that unless you are already accepted by FedEx? You don't need t-val.

"I can appreciate that and assure you grandkids will not be easier on you." I never said anything about grandkids :D a friend needed someone to watch her kids for the day, so she called me because I am home - husband left Iraq a few weeks ago and now is somewhere in the south pacific. I think...

we still have professional football in the state?

Tallcal, I would like to hear more about your new venture when ever you get a chance - it sounds interesting. The industry is changing but so is everything else. I know many are worried because they have large payments for their trucks but for some reason I am not. Maybe I took the used...

>then how come some companies pretend they are 100% owner >operators? And what companies are those?

charlotte, No HUT stickers? why did I get one then? I think mine is for 2007. The MPSC sticker was not issued for 2007 because of the Unified Carrier Registration system was to be in effect at the beginning of the year but didn't make it, now the last I heard was being settled for 2008 with...

Yes that is a good idea but here is the problem when a company has records by electronic log and they do not match your paper log, which one is acceptable?

drbna For some reason people think that just because there is soap in the mix it is safe. But one issue I had while out west was no washers that worked at a few of the truck stops I was at, so no choice but washing everything I used by hand, the wringing was the biggest issue for me - can't...
