    All State Express

    They aren't the only company with the 3 week cycle, but the others I know of that have it, have it in lieu of an escrow. Both is a bit much. So, it sounds like they didn't give you the list of deductions until they had you up there. I can see why that would leave a bad taste in your mouth. There...

    Apportioned Plates

    I was told by the IRP office in Mich that it goes on the back of my straight truck. I had a mounting plate, with light, put on at a trailer shop. Excellent support.

    starting up, looking for drivers, questions

    The way this reads, it sounds like you're saying one point is worth using your house. LOL... C'mon... Really?? If you can get a truck for 6% that's an excellent rate. Also, 600,000 would be an early overhaul on a class 8 truck.

    Chevy 2007 transmission

    ...and the filter. With a flush all that new fluid goes through an old filter.

    South Dakota scale?

    Who's "they"? Sounds like it'll depend on who's working when you cross. When I was at Thompson one of our vans was chased down by someone working the Tecumseh scale. The guy brought him back, did an inspection and told him he needed to stop when it's open. Someone from the Ministry sent a letter...

    Experienced courier, but green at expediting.

    If you're really set on that, then there's no point continuing your education here. It just won't work. The only folks I've heard of that come close to something like this have their own authority and their own customers. They return home after every run. That's not something an inexperienced...

    starting up, looking for drivers, questions

    If it doesn't need to be cooled, or warmed, then it's not a temp controlled load, is it? You seem down right giddy about that interest rate. Remember, it's just one small slice of the pie, not the lone factor to make a decision on. Oops, gotta go, there's someone getting ready to throw...

    Michigan & Pre Pass

    If Mich just had it set to pull everyone in, wouldn't that show up when you check it? If you're getting the "lane straddle" thing often, maybe you should drop a note to PrePass that they need to tweak something. I don't have it and know nothing about it, just throwing some food for thought out...

    Think you deserve respect?

    That's the way to do it. A flash of the brake lights as you kick off the cruise to pizz them off, then slow down until they pass. It's one thing to bloviate about doing something as stupid as causing an accident, but I can't imagine anyone really doing it.

    West side story?

    This kind of unexpected luck can, and does, happen in this business. Conversely, you can use the wisdom of your experience and place yourself just so, so that your next load is almost a given. And then, sit there wondering what the heck happened. Don't let anyone give you the idea that luck...

    Carrier Poll

    Being an incomplete list, it does need to have "none of the above". I'm sure D&G would kick some serious rear end!

    I've been at the Bridgeport, Mi. TA a bit too long as well. I should have just stayed home, I guess. It must be those dang Republicans taking control of the House...

    day light time ye ha

    I have the "book" out checking another issue and I can find nothing on time change. I've heard hear-say that the time is what time it is, suggesting that you lose one in the spring and get an extra one in the fall. Somehow, in all my years out here, I've managed to never be driving when it...
