There are a few states that don't allow the controls to be in the cab. I'm not sure which ones. It would be best to mount them in a storage box, for example, to be sure you're in compliance.

Are you going to consider a picture actual proof? A lot can be done with Photo-Shop.

If you have an M2, when you open the drivers door there's a good spot for it in the bottom, right corner of the opening.

If an idiot goes and gets a CDL, he becomes an idiot with a CDL. The CDL will do nothing to improve his/her driving habits and does nothing to insure that a potential employer can count on any level of competence.

Wow, I thought all was well for you with your expedite fleet. All the best and glad to see you posting again.

Just make them match the computer. Would there be a reason to do otherwise?

When I registered my truck in March, I was told that the MPSC sticker was only going to be used for trucks hauling intra-state only. Trucks with inter-state authority would no longer need it. So, you can do Mich to Mich without the sticker. I was given a copy of a letter from New York State...

They have no company owned trucks. The fleet owner trucks are contracted to them the same as individual O/O trucks.

Could there be laundry training at White Glove orientation? A laundromat is a public facility just like a truck stop is. You have a lot more people going to the laundromat than the laundry room at the truck stop. I think it's a concern at either place. I did mine at the Petro in Portage, Wi...

1.5-2k NET would be the high end to expect as an average over a year. The vast majority of D-unit O/O's are making less than that. Just to be clear, I define NET as money in your pocket after all expenses and taxes.

Why not just continue to do the log on paper so you have it for an audit?

At the J in South Beloit, diesel is 3.05. I know Petro's are usually a little more, but the one in Rochelle is ridiculous.

As your list shows, you did manage to find something worthwhile. Heck, as I type this, I'm listening to the doctor on Fox News talk about constipation. How exciting is that!?! And, it comes in as clear here in La Crosse as it would in Toadsuck, Ar. It's like cable. For every Discovery Channel...

Buying your own BP cuff is the only way to go. I take a pill for my BP and keep an eye on it with my cuff. I've tried 3 of the truckstop machines and 2 of them gave false high readings. I take mine with me to the doctor once in a while to compare readings. The first time I tried one at a J...

When I cross that border, I walk. My truck's stayin' here!

Are there actually people who would walk into the polling booth thinking, "What would Oprah do?" C'mon... Being speaker of the House and a key player in the Contract with America was hardly a minor role. But, he has been out of the limelight and the publics memory can be short. I can see where...

My company just uses the annual DOT and a roadside inspection would not count as a replacement for that. This is a better question for whatever company you want to lease on to.

This is company specific. There is no blanket standard.

Yeah, you guys are probably right about Newt. It would be an attractive ticket to those wanting to back away from the middle.

A Thompson/Gingrich ticket? Newt was the only Republican he mentioned by name on the Tonight show. I'm not ready to make final judgment on Thompson yet, but I think I'm going to end up liking him. I like politicians that can, at least, sound like they're speaking from the heart about their core...
