RE: American Trucking Associations pushed HOS regs It should be noted that people with 15 years of trucking experience are usually clueless about the expedite trucking industry niche. It should come as no surprise when people scoff at 15 years of business experience, whatever that business...

You mean we'll be able to scan the pro bills and fax or e-mail them in? Wow, it's amazing that someone hasn't thought of that already. Oh, wait, Trip-Pak does that.... Naaaa. Let's not do it that way. It's much better to reinvent the wheel and let the drivers eat the cost of scanning and...

RE: American Trucking Associations pushed HOS regs Black boxes would only work if every vehicle, 4-wheelers included, were to have them. And in the case of 1 MPH speed differentials, the police would still have ample opportunity for precious revenue. With or without black boxes, the vehicle...

RE: My week in dispatch. Favoritism? Definitely no Ooooh. That hits a nerve. First and foremost, accept loads with your own safety in mind. Nothing else matters, especially the opinion of someone in "Safety" or a dispatcher. Most dispatchers don't have the time to check and see what you have...

RE: American Trucking Associations pushed HOS regs What they should do is, every motor vehicle in the country should have a black box or some other electronic equivalent that would allow the maximum speed to be dynamically set. Then, at each and every speed limit sign there would be installed a...

Werner Heisenberg is pulled over by the police for speeding one night. The police officer asks the professor, "Do you have any idea how fast you were going?" Heisenberg replies, "No, but I know exactly where I am."

Hey, I just picked up a load in Chandler. I should have stopped by and said "hey" to John.

While I don't agree with the seatbelt laws, not at all, not even a little bit (legislating stupidity is stoopid), not wearing one simply because I don't feel like obeying that particular law today is no different than breaking any other law that I don't agree with. If someone willfully and...

One little nifty I use every now and then is Tell Me 1-800-555-TELL Call 'em up, you wanna hear the weather, you say "weather" and you hear the weather report. If you want the extended forecast, simply say "Tell me more". It's no-brainer easy. Voice recognition. And it's free. Main menu...

My sentiments exactly. You can often tell what a car is about to do even before the driver knows he's gonna do it. In addition to looking at the driver and picking up on his clues, you can pick up on certain tendencies that 4-wheelers have based on the surrounding traffic, the traffic patterns...

>I do not find your "mottos" offensive. I do. Being an American means buying American!!! Saying that I am not American, or worse, un-American, if I should choose to spend my dollars on a product in a way that gives me the best value for my money, and that product is made overseas, is a...

The concept of the street address was invented in Venice, Italy. OK, so it's not really germane to the conversation, but it is a bit of fascinating worthless trivia.

Yep, it's the low voltage zap causing the inverter to shut off. It might be a weak starter battery, but in some systems an inverter will sense too low of a voltage regardless of the battery's state. In any case, an auxiliary battery for inverter use is highly recommended. Connected via a...

If the delivery time is not confirmed, does that mean you can deliver it whenever you want? Just...whenever...will be fine? Not in expediting. And it works both ways. What's good for the goose and all that. If I'm contracted to pickup and deliver at a certain time, and I fulfill my end of the...

Any business, be it a carrier, fleet or truck owner, is a reflection of those who work for them. I'm sure there are lots of reasons why a carrier or an owner wouldn't want someone else speaking for them on here, even something as simple as publicly stating who they work for, so as to not have...

How about, as a requirement for being a driver, you first have to put in two months as a dispatcher? I think it's a safe bet that no company will ever require a low-paying dispatcher to go through the process and expense of getting their CDL with a HAZMAT endorsement and then force them to...

Yeah. I dunno if it was worth deleting, tho. It was just a little sophomoric. Besides, the grammar and punctuation was so bad it was hard to tell that he was actually calling people names. :D was so bad? were so bad? I never paid attention in English class. Tho hehe
