This is a sad and disappointing example of a Physician who has let his anger get in the way of his moral and ethical responsibilities to care for other humans. The Doctor himself admits that “turning anybody away” is unethical; however, that is exactly what he is doing and it is beyond...

I ran this question by Dr. Irving. Her reply: " . . .The system is in a prototype stage and is undergoing tests by truck equipment manufacturers. Thank you for your interest and support. ~Patricia Patricia Irving, Ph.D. President & CEO InnovaTek, Inc." My translation: There...

Greg334: My bad, the link is limited and does not mention the partnerships (mostly military) and the integration of the various components. Any links to the Webasto fuel cells would be of interest.:D I like the idea of "silent" and "clean" generators that could have the potential to shut...

Maybe the link didn't work for you?? The Innovagen is the mobile "generator" that utilizes the hydrogen fuel cells to produce electrical energy from chemical energy. They are focusing on between 1-50kw for the mobile applications. This is the range that the military is very interested in. The...

We had the good fortune of meeting Dr. Patricia Irving, President and CEO of InnovaTek Inc. InnovaTek™Incorporated when we transported her “baby” to GE Research and Development one year ago. We have since followed InnovaTek’s progress in developing mobile applications of their fuel cell...

Good for you!:) Not this one. The advice to drive for a "major" carrier was given for simplicity sake and not meant to disparage the smaller companies. It is this simple: Larger carrier = more fleet owners = more van opportunities. If you are doing well with a "small company" that...

This is contrary to the usual advice I see on this forum of "drive for an owner first". If Jugg drives someone elses van and makes no money, the downside is limited. If Jugg buys his own van (with little to no experience) and makes no money, the downside is much greater. There are many...

One more example of the bumbling ineffective clowns that we elected to Congress. :mad: If it ends up closing some scales for awhile it will make our lives a little easier. It will also make life easier for cargo thieves, drug runners, dangerous trucks, dangerous drivers, etc, etc, Can’t...

Umm. Excuse me. Where did Hellbound go?:confused: Did anyone else notice that he wandered off in the middle of all this discussion? With only 2 posts in 4 years it could be a very long time before we hear . . . . "the rest of the story"

Not according to FMCSA. Personal Use of a Commercial Motor Vehicle It is possible that occasionally you may not use a truck in commerce at all. You may be moving your personal belongings to a new house or, as a hobby you may be taking your horses to a horse show. As long as the activity is...

Fastrod makes a good point. As far as I know there is no historian that has dedicated the time and research to document the origin and history of this specialized segment of the trucking industry. In the absence of a defined origin and a historical timeline it would seem premature to start...

Good Point. We all have varying degrees of inflexibility based on our capital investments along with operating costs. As you mention, it does matter how we run our business, but in the end fixed costs can determine our level of inflexibility. The big Carriers are not unaware of these...

Good info! I feel better already.:D

Thanks for bringing this to the general forum.:D Any other info or reviews of the EOBRs would help the dinosaurs like me get mentally prepared. The thread on the Fed Ex forum is like the blind leading the blind so it would be great to hear comments from the Panther drivers. Since we...

Well said MYGIA. I agree with keeping a close eye on expenses and this is what prompts my sarcasm. I have seen this behavior for years where drivers create a huge drama over a company imposed expense and how it will effect their business. Then these same drivers proceed to spend their money...

Yea, I guess it is the Greg, Dave and Humble show. I hope it gets cancelled this season.:)

This is frightning. You Can Get A DUI Without Driving Your Car In some cases our courts have unlimited latitude to interpret the laws to reach any conclusion they desire. Just seems downright un American to me.:(

OMG!! I better jump on the bandwagon here!! Great post!!! Outstanding insight!!!! Thanks for the great suggestion! I will absolutely refuse to take any loads at our previous rate. They will have to add .00125 cents per mile if they want me to play! Matter of fact. I am going to round...

I have seen many changes on EO over the past 2 years, but one thing remains constant. That is the need for Greg and Dave to comment on anything Phil. It is as predictable as death and taxes and just as amusing. :rolleyes:
