It's MLB postseason T-shirt Season! If Houston wins tonight, I've got t-shirt deliveries in Houston (from Irving) on Saturday, and then Houston-to-Houston on Sunday. We've got two other Load One Sprinters picking up here in Irving, too. If the Astros lose tonight, it all gets pushed back a...

I wanna post something here, but I can't. Still laughing too hard.

Yeah, it's pretty gnarly. Priority Air Charter out of Kidron, OH (between Massillon and Wooster). They have three of those PC-12 planes, each can hold about 2500 pounds (depending on length of the flight), as well as three of the Cessna 208B Grand Caravans, each can hold 3200 pounds and up to 3...

Once the air expedite plane lands, I'm picking one up later tonight at the Tulsa airport, and then taking it to the other side of the airport It's about 4 miles. The rate per mile is, uhm, yeah, it's pretty good. Thanks Ex Pee Oh!

Got a load from Warner Robbins (or, Atlanta when viewed from the Moon) to Tulsa, OK (well, when viewed from the Moon). My first load out of the Dayton office.

It's an old argument, and one that cargo van drivers who occasionally haul HAZMAT have been complying with for years. The only thing that might change for some people with the ELD mandate is the method of accounting for those previous seven days. It just depends on how the carrier decides to...

I'm near Atlanta, too, and didn't get any calls at all. Then again, "near" is a relative term. Atlanta, when viewed from the Moon, I'm practically in downtown. When viewed from Macon, nope, not even close. Macon is half way between here and Atlanta. :D

You've got a wildly undefined "it" hanging out there. What does "it" mean? Does "it" mean HAZMAT full time, or does "it" mean driving a CMV full time, or does "it" mean perform work for compensation full time? It would take not merely a good lawyer, but rather the best lawyer ever. I've learned...

Cargo van drivers who haul HAZMAT every once in a while fall under the "or intermittently" part of the rule above, so a simple statement of hours would suffice. The Qualcomms in the vans of FedEx, Panther and Load One, among others, are already ELDs, it's just that the logging functions are...

There has been no rule change in the regard. I'm guessing that's because it's going to be really hard to enforce the use of ELDs on drivers before they became drivers, on the off chance that they might someday become drivers. The rule is 395.2 (j)(2), which states: (2) Motor carriers, when...

I wouldn't go that far. I just think it's interesting that one of them is a "driver" in Spokane and the other is in "Safety and Compliance" in Los Angeles, yet both are using the same SoCal based IP address within seconds of each other. It could be they both joined up at the sane time to get...

I smell Hawaii's favorite canned meat product. Someone named Switchboard joined up at the same time our thread starter did, using the same IP address and everything. Switchboard is still in the queue waiting to be approved. Might be there for a while.

It is true that paragraph 9 wouldn't apply to the cargo van driver who was hauling non-HAZMAT prior to the HAZMAT load, but paragraph 8 most definitely would apply. Paragraph 8 says: (8) Performing any other work in the capacity, employ, or service of, a motor carrier; Back when I hauled...

The official corporate KFC Twitter account only follows 11 people. Herb Albert, five other guys named Herb, and all five of the Spice Girls. That's 11 Herbs and Spices. Brilliant.

Unintended Consequences - the stock-in-trade of the liberals, the bread and butter of the Democrat. The ol' be careful what you wish for, you might just get it, comes to mind.

As has been noted, the half-ton will be a bigger hindrance than will be the age of the van. You'll get fewer load opportunities because of it, and with the cargo van market already over-saturated, that will mean even that much more sitting between loads. You will need expediting insurance...

Happy Birthday! :t3310:

No, I remember Perry Mason. I as born in 1957. That "Is it not true?" question always seemed like a gotcha question for someone on the witness stand. It never turned out well for anyone on the witness stand who were asked that type of a question. I already know that if I'm ever questioned like...
