I think it is obvious that most everybody has had problems with thier Carrier APUs. A class action lawsuit would need to describe a specific installation mistake that would make the company at fault and liable. Can you provide any specifics?? As Greg stated, your individual award stemming...

Darn it!! I just wanted to sit this thread out and enjoy the ride but now I have to jump in here. The fraction of a second that it takes to scan your mirror to see if a vehicle is in it (with the road ahead in your peripheral vision) is NOT comparable to looking down below the level of the...

When I read through a business plan such as yours I come up with a lot of questions. Perhaps it will be helpful to you if I relate these questions to you so you can ask yourself what you may have left out. Be clear that I am not being critical. These questions are designed to promote a more...

Absolutely! I agree 100% because if they were my trucks I would be meeting the drivers in person for an interview and checking references myself along with having a meeting of the minds regarding expectations. In your situation, the fleet owner that you are contracted with has decided to do...

It appears that D unit loads have picked up. I get this from our numbers, our friends numbers and sources at the Fed. Don't know about the vans, but there is a very interesting development at Fed Ex with the addition of the WG, Refer, T-Val Vans. Could be worth investigating if you have...

Oh no! A jury of his peers? Would that be 12 truck drivers? :eek: You can't even get 12 truck drivers to agree on something at the TA counter, much less a court of law.;)

Mr. BEARTRUCKER, When you see an ad placed by an owner that states they are looking for FECC "qualified" drivers it generally means that they are looking for someone who has actually submitted the necessary paperwork to Fed Ex CC and Fed Ex has completed all of the necessary background checks...

Hmm Looks like a possible drive by ad from the infamous FireThunderTV? Are you an Expediter? That would explain all the traveling. I have a feeling you won't be back but in case you are reading this I enjoyed the video of my hometown Virginia Beach and yes you are right, there are no...

I understand your point and I am placing myself under a 5 minute suspension for misdirected humor.

Geeez, Ok I'll explain. Hijacking a thread refers to when someone changes the direction of the original posters topic and leads the online conversation in another direction. In this case Greg came to the rescue and brought us back to topic. I made an internet blunder by not putting a smiley...

I agee with your decision to be nice and move; however, after that last comment from our happy camper I would duct tape his camper door shut. :D

I would like to report that someone is trying to hijack this thread.

Well that clears it up. Handle the situation right then. Now, fess up Wingman. Is this a situation that is going on right now?

N/A, wouldn't be afraid to call and wouldn't listen to what this driver said.

Calling the Police is not necessary as it is not illegal to drink a couple of beers. Give the cops a break unless this guy is going to insist on driving or get physical over the situation.

I have problems with this part of the scenario. How did you "see" this driver drinking a beer? From across the table?, from across the room?, on spy cam? Did you confirm that the beverage was alcohol? Many non alcohol drinks are packaged to resemble beer bottles so that you can still look...

Had a scary thing happen last week which made me remember this thread. We were driving on I-80 approaching a Fed Ex Freight truck pulling doubles. Suddenly, the Freight truck veered sharply into the left lane then over corrected off the right side of the road then back on to the highway. Then...

Brooks, KY (South Louisville). Load here on Monday and will head for the expediting abyss called Miami, then deadhead home. Tomorrow is the last day of the Kentucky State Fair so we are considering doing the taxi thing and checking it out.

1) Ran non stop for the entire month and set a personal record. 2) Now our last run is taking us home. 3) Truck only broke down twice this month and was fixed within hours instead of days. 4) We are happy to be involved in a business where we can be together. Makes us thankful that we saw...

Hmm. Somebody has had a bit too much coffee today. Of all the things that drivers do out there that are mindless and dangerous, this is the one that makes you go ARRGHHHHHH? If you were taught to pull out into an intersection in order to position your vehicle for the left turn when traffic...
