You have more room to play on a tractor because it's the trailer that has the 10 year rule. If someone had a straight in good condition that could go farther than 10 years, and there's lots of them out there, just put a new box on it. Lots cheaper than a new truck.

I don't get the whole driver and truck OOS thing. If you're OOS why wouldn't your truck also be OOS?

If you go back on duty then, of course, you stop the reset. It's my experience that the companies have a bit of flexibility in when you're asked. If they see you're on a 34 it'd be reasonable for them to wait until you've got your hours back. But, based on some of the stories I've heard about...

Re: Blair Enterprises, Inc., T. Roberson II So, Turtle, you found that to be tough to read as well? LOL...

Ahhh, the old Ford Louisville. I drove one back in the 70s. 238 with a 10 speed. Just screamin' down the road, hardly getting out of its own way and blowing oil out the breather tube. I'm sure I can attribute a sizable percentage of whatever hearing loss I may have to that truck.

Northern Mich is in fair shape. Still some hard pack and some icy spots, but with the sun today everything should be fine.

Food police undercover?

30k a year to flip burgers? Where? I'm there!

Saginaw, Mi. 23 degrees with the sun breaking through, snow seems to be done. They got about a foot here with major drifting. Lots of businesses closed and traffic very light on 75.

I don't understand why there was no price problem until the bill came. All the Iron Skillets I've been to have menus with prices.

Wow, 0730 and nobody started it yet. On my way home for various chores and (I think) a Superbowl party.

Exactly! I've read that the accidents stats are improving. I think they're using that to justify doing even more crapola. No matter what they come up with, there will always be accidents, injuries and deaths. And, it's rarely going to be a guy with sleep apnea that's operating past his HOS and...

My deepest sympathy to his family.

Do you really think you should be running the truck? I'd have it in the shop immediately if something like that was found. How was it found? Was it up against the drain hole and could be seen well enough to identify it?

Actually, I got off before the exit where it closed and moved well for a bit. Then I caught up to the traffic...

Unless there's something about this job that makes you totally miserable, I'd stick with it. You most likely won't do this well in expediting. Especially if you keep the same level of benefits you have now, as that will be quite a bit out of the profit.

That stretch between Horse Cave and Glendale seems to have more than its share of wrecks. I had to go around one a while back and it cost me well over 2 hours.

LOL... Well, you can yell and scream and kick your feet all you want. But, running all over the place empty on a regular basis is not a good business model in expediting. All we've tried to do is help you become more profitable. Yeah, opinions are like anal orifices, but in this case the opinion...

I'll only do 2 all nighters back to back, then I have to sleep during the night. If I deliver at 0700, I will only be able to sleep 3 to 4 hours. Sleeping during the day is a problem for me and things aren't consistent enough out here to switch to a night time schedual on a regular basis. This...

Quite a few of us have tried to tell him that. Sounds like he's gonna just do things his way. I'm in Seffner, Fl. waiting for the glass guy to come repair the chip in my 1 week old windshield.
