If you'd have handed her $12.02 she'd have exploded.

Zip codes do not cross state and county lines, yet these load boards do, even though they are based on Zip Codes that don't. I'm confused. How can you tell which load board town-x is on, without going there and doing a macro 32? Doing a macro 8 and then not being able to see the boards that...

When I go into Canada, I hand them three copies of the Customs Invoice, one of which has the PARS sticker on it, and my FAST card. On A49 loads, I hand them the A49 sheet, and my FAST card. On one occasion I had a Canadian Customs officer ask to see my birth certificate, but I think she was just...

Read this carefully. Diesel engines produce virtually no carbon monoxide. Then, maybe, read it again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people. - Giordano Bruno ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carbon...

Bald Eagles cannot protect themselves, while humans have free will and can choose to protect themselves or not. As for abortion, and many other issues, there are far too many people spending far too much time and effort trying to tell other people what to do and how to think. The only person...

The O/O's have access to both the Owner's Web site and the Driver's Web site, and the drivers have access to the Driver's Web site.

Not true, on both counts. Sort of. They rob the air of oxygen, only insofar as any open burning flame consumes oxygen as part of the process, but the amount of oxygen consumed is proportional to the size of the flame. It would take a really big propane flame, burning for a long time, to rob the...

I was gonna put my carrier in my sig, but I can't get them to pay me the per-post advertising fees.

Have you talked with the folks at Panther about their needs for big trucks? Might be as good a place as any to start. A trailer with the Panther logo on the side is a hard thing to miss. They're out there, lots of them, but I have no idea if they need more or less than what's out there. As for...

Explain it to me, as you would a child, 'cause I'm stumped.

From Ray up at Espar of Michigan in Romulus. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Cheapskate van fleet owners that won't put Espar heaters in their vans, and then let the drivers pay for fuel to idle all winter, should be beaten about the head and shoulders with a wet noodle until they cry...

Never had a problem with a Michelin tire, never had a Firestone tire that I didn't have a problem with. YMMV

It's gotten a little colder now, about 6 degrees F. The wind is a booger. Flags are stiff, probably 20 or 30 MPH sustained. Don't know that the wind chill is, but it's not pleasant (if I were to get out in it, that is). When it gets really cold like this, single digits down to about -10 below...

I'm in Canada, again. "Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in." Spent last weekend 150 miles north of Toronto, on Georgian Bay, waiting to pick up a pre-dispatched load on Monday. That was fun. Was in South Carolina just long enough to get some sleep, then right back up outside...

OVM = Ontario Van Man

You're right, you're wrong. hehe Sort of. The Delvac is the same exact oil as the Mobile 1 5W-40. But of course, all 5W-40 oils are not created equal. The Sprinter is European, so quit thinking American. In America, oil is oil, for the most part. For example, any 5W-40 oil is gonna work in...

On the oil, make absolutely sure that the oil you use in on the MB Approved Oils List. Always stick to the list! It's best to use the same oil that the initial fill was done with (Mobile 1 0W-40). Not good to change oils, but do as you wish. On the Espar, $1900 and change, installed, for the...

For anything unusual like that, dry run, detention, whatever, don't do a wait-and-see when the settlement comes out. That's too late. Get it taken care of right then, over the QC. If you incur detention, they have to pay it. If you don't get it confirmed at the time over the QC, they won't pay...

Like I said, I don't know how Ohio is doing things, but I have read the memo from the DOT that went out to all the states regarding testing and the medical certificate (and the proper ID for first time CDL applicants). It's posted on the wall in the County Clerk's office where I live. When I...

Just upload 'em. Well, click on the Insert Picture icon (when using the WYSIWYG editor) and give it the URL of a pic. If there's something I want to plop into a post, I just upload it to Photobucket (or some other relatively stable pic hosting site) and use the URL for it.
