Yeah, that happens. But it could be argued that it's offset by the many times we haul small loads. I'm in Joplin after hauling 3 skids that weighed a total of 1040#. The perfect Sprinter load. C'mon OVM, as a wise man once said, "C-C-Can't we all just get along?" Instead of promoting a...

I agree, a very bizarre response to say the least. There was nothing at all wrong with what OVM had to say. I wonder when the U2 video links will appear? LOL....

LOL!!... Why would I see you as direct competition? You must talk to different drivers than I do. I hauled 20 full size skids last night. Friday I had 1 skid @ 350#. It paid my rate for all miles, deadhead and loaded. How can you be direct competition when my load opportunities are so much...

I think Turtle's main message is to stick to "the list" when it comes to fluids. For example, the coolant is very expensive, but if go cheap it's gonna cost you in the long run.

That's not true. There's freight that's been run in an "expedited" fashion for many, many years. It just wasn't identified as a segment of the industry. Now that it is, some folks doing it want to feel special. Got'cha beat by a year, I started in '76.

How did that cost them thousands of dollars?

I'm down til tomorrow in Birmingham, Al. waiting for a new idler pulley.

TA in Erie, Pa.

LOL... I guess growing up a guy with the first name Kim wasn't so bad after all!

I've heard people talk about it, but it's one of those "old school thinking" deals that isn't really a good idea. What's the point? If you overdo it you're going to have problems, and with that kind of ratio recommendation... I've used Power Service for years and never gelled. Ever.

Back in service in Saginaw, Mi. Sure would like to go some place warm, but it looks like there aren't very many warm places right now.

But, isn't a true Democracy where the people vote on everything, rather than just voting in representatives? That would seem to be a substantial difference.

Many happy returns of the day!

I know about back bacon and Labatts, wouldn't that be enough?

At fault for what? Some snow hit the car and was wiped away with the wipers. The car was a good distance back and a lane over. While totally cleaning a roof is a big project, a snow rake could have been used to knock off the lions share of that build up.

Oh the joy of having a computer run your life!

My thought is that you're just off duty doing a 34, unless you told them you were OOS. But, as I said, there's some flexibility. There's no need for them to interrupt your reset. That's just dumb.

It's not brokers rules, it's the policy of Ford and GM and probably Chrysler as well. How strict the enforcement is is plant specific. When they've seen that they're not gonna fall through your floor, your good to go at some of the plants.

No, when I asked "what's the point" it's the truck and driver OOS thing. Every company I've been with my truck goes with me when I'm OOS. I don't understand doing both.

So, what's the point?
