    Pilot Fatigue Rules...Sound Familiar?

    As I've always said, there will never be a "one size fits all" solution and the quest to come up something like that is just a typical exercise in government stupidity. Please, please, o wise governmental sages, save me from myself!!

    Emptied in Newton, N.C. this morning, picking up in Blythewood, S.C tomorrow evening. I believe the Detroiter is an IHOP. Probably not a huge distinction...

    Those darn complain and blame drivers

    Once in a while dispatch will call me about a load that they know isn't real great. They just want to throw it out there in case the driver may have a reason to go there. Friends, family to visit, ect. There's no hard feelings at all when I say no, and on rare occasion I've taken the load.

    Hey Dreamer

    I've been cleared to use scissors, so I know none of this applies to me.

    Sprinter or similiar, can you make a living?

    Hitting a deer is a common accident and I can't think of a time that I've heard of anyone going through that kind of a nightmare getting routine repairs done with any make or model of vehicle. A freakish situation, to say the least. It is good advice to be prepared for financial setbacks.

    LOL... Boy, talk about ancient history! It turned out to not be a bad head gasket. It was just a leaking valve cover gasket that the Freightliner dealer screwed up when they put it on. I don't recall the price of the room.

    There was nothing going on that needed to be moderated in the first place. Apparently, there are folks that would rather whine to a mod that things aren't the way that they would like them instead of simply starting a thread. Too funny... I think this ridiculous bruhaha has inspired me to...

    I just emptied this morning, gotta give dispatch a chance, you know? :) OVM, you don't what I mean? C'mon, really? If you cut out the idle chit-chat type of stuff from your count, I wonder what the number would be? We all do it a bit, of course. But, when taken to extremes it bogs down a...

    Vanners

    I'm not a vanner anymore so I won't vote in the poll, but I'll throw in my .02. I have a Tab Bank debit card that I used at the J. Starting the pump with the card, getting cash price, the receipt hanging there to grab was a great way to buy fuel. Now, it seems that will go away and they've cut...

    This is one of those situations where you just can't make everyone happy. Having said that, the old way wasn't all that broke, why "fix" it? My personal guess is that this has more to do with a few people getting irritated with the post count quest of a few members than anything else.

    Sprinter or similiar, can you make a living?

    A well maintained Sprinter will run far beyond 100k. I've heard of some low paying companies, but nothing as low as .48, not sure where you came up with that figure. I'll give you the common, canned answer. Research the forums. There's a ton of education available to you here. Also, contact...

    Location for week of 9/5-9/11

    I dropped in Plymouth, Ma. this morning and now I'm sitting in a rest area/service plaza. Dale, I'm sure you've realized by now that there will be very few engine repairs on that van that will be easy. Have you had a water pump done yet?
