    It's both OCD, and skill.

    Stop When the Gas Nozzle Shuts Off

    They key to that is leaving the nozzle fully in the filler. The filler hose works just like a funnel, where you can fill the funnel up and then you have to wait for it to drain. Once the hose drains you can add a little bit more. But if you pull the nozzle out part way, the fuel just goes into...

    What is the FedEx CC Load Board?

    I think it's mostly going to be a right place at the right time kind of thing, same as always.

    Stop When the Gas Nozzle Shuts Off

    When the nozzle clicks off, the tank actually is filled to the top. When you pull the nozzle out a bit and add more, all you're doing is filling up the vapor hose, not the tank. You know it's not just the one filler hose there, right? Here's what's on the other side of the filler door...

    January in Load 1 Nation

    Good morning from Minneapolis, where "frozen pants" is a thing. They just wet 'em, stand' em up, and let 'em freeze right there. It's hilarious.

    Yeah, they started off red, in a plain rectangle, which looked good, and really stood out, but other than a couple of thread prefixes and the Alerts, we just don't have anything red on here. So it became green, and then with a really pointy arrow, then a less pointy arrow, and now more subtle...

    If by "tabs" you mean these... ...they really need to stay blue (or green) to be within the color pallet of the EO theme. They were red and then purple for a brief moment. The "New" arrow tag indicator for the new posts on the main page, I initially had that red, so it would stand out, but...

    Some things work, some don't. The RED letters were (a) a mistake, and (b) really, really don't work. That looked scary ugly for about 30 seconds there. LOL The purple got caught up in the change back from red to blue. Red and blue are purple, ya know. :D If you click on a Forum (say, General...

    bmv record question

    Yes. The first time you cross into Canada, anyway. Once you're cleared and in the system they won't check your record background like that. Well, that's actually per Province. You can be cleared and have crossed dozens or hundreds of times into Ontario, and the first time you cross the border...

    What Changed?

    I'm with Phil on this one. A Watch means conditions are favorable for an event, and one could develop at any time and without warning. An actual Warning means the event is occurring and you should stop watching for it, and you should take the appropriate actions immediately.. Invented in 1999...

    Changes at FedEx Custom Critical

    Not to mention the fact that if you are able to turn down a load then it's not forced dispatch. Acceptance ratings are nothing more than a performance metric.

    Are Cargo Vans profitable?

    Cargo vans can be profitable, as long as you own it and don't let anyone else drive it. Splitting cargo van revenue between an owner and a driver is probably the least profitable way to be in this business.

    bmv record question

    Mine was a 1984 relatively Plain Jane 6-cylinder 5-speed. Red, with black interior. Red is not a good color for a sports car. When I bought it, everyone said I'd get a lot of speeding tickets I laughed in their faces. Then I got one ticket a year, every year, until The Incident. Then everyone...
