Why do "they" always say "its _ _ degrees in the shade??? Here in Laredo "its 109 degrees in the shade"! Of course, there isn't any shade you can park under. I can report its more like 160 degrees where you can park!!! :eek: Please send me to Alaska... :D

North of Dallas waiting for a hot DFW load or???

No kidding! As I walked into the recruiting building entry, four of them, probably the whole recruiting crew walked out to take a long smoke break, leaving me to wait until they were good & ready to come back in. At that point they had no idea who I was so it wasn't' special treatment for a...

We left over the rate change. It never got close to working out close to even. Now its much better where we landed. Funny thing, when I went to turn in my QualComm, a senior manager told me that Pike led the new owner down the garden path and expedite suffered greatly because neither of them...

Actually, I've thought about that quite a bit. There are some very capable & inexpensive hydraulic lifts that are used in the RV industry that could easily do the job. Up for loading / unloading dock high, down for transport. Still could not have a forklift on board but it would be dock high...

It is a well known fact that more relationship sales are made on the golf course than anywhere else. Just remember to let them win a hole or two! Our Owner works hard on Sundays too!!!

Bus drivers that haul 16 or more, or haul for hire 9 or more. High Security is a different problem. BTW, the NSA is monitoring your phone calls & emails. The word "security" probably just flagged us all... :eek: The actual regulation spells it out pretty clearly. The part I was surprised a...

It applies to all Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers, but not to drivers that drive vehicles that are under 10,001GVW, unless they carry HazMat, carry certain number of passengers, drive combination vehicles, haul only intrastate, or are from Canada! :D

I should have been more clear with the actual application... 1 starting & 2 house batteries, all AGM type, with a voltage dependant relay between the starting battery and the house batteries. When the van is not running, everything except the air conditioner, which runs off the generator...

Anybody can sell roses on the corner...

My new generator has a 12 volt 8.3 amp outlet in addition to the 120 volt outlets. However, the generator manual says that 12 volt supply must not be used to charge "gel type" batteries. Is this because gel / AGM batteries typically operate at a little higher voltage? Isn't there some way to...

The new truck ran its first load today! Was loaded heavy... ran flawlessly. MPG unloaded repeated 16.5! Went over 1,000 on the odometer.

The tapered tail on my truck also seems to eliminate buffeting completely while rejoining the air at the back of the truck more smoothly.

She also can haul 4 containers that are 48" x 48" x 72"h. and still leave me enough room to sleep comfortably. Please understand that I meant to build a non-DOT truck that could earn more money than virtually any other non-DOT truck out there, as long as dispatch takes advantage of those...

I had Brian list the capacity as 3,500 lbs. which it holds "in street shoes" under the 10,000 GVW. In reality, because she's actually a 12,500 chassis downrated by Ford, she can actually carry 6,000 lbs. safely.

John was working on it last night, and thankfully, things broke loose this morning. I think he ordered some BIG logos so my truck (representing the best company) looks great at the EXPO!!! Brian did a great job getting the size & proportions right as well!

I don't know if its Concentra or Med-1 but I don't think its good for whichever. If their results were ever involved in litigation or law enforcement, this sort of problem seems to indicate poor control on their part. However, I am meeting a lot of drivers and wearing out my doors showing the...

Mine was from a week ago! :eek:

I'm told it happens once or twice a year. I'll take one so everyone else slides through the rest of the year! LOL
