TS462, I'd be interested to know what company that was (I beleive I know). PM me if you'd prefer not to post it here. My feeling is if the doc passed you, and you're healthy, they had no right to refuse you. Dale

(Posted at request of Linda... picture upload issues) Let’s do some more fun stuff and include FSC in on the figures and show how improving your MPG changes your CPM and your percentage of revenue for fuel can be lowered dramatically. The FSC and the average diesel price is what FedEx Custom...

Joe, I usually take 2-300 pics, so there will be plenty from me ;-) thank goodness for digital. . . LOL.

For those who've never been there, the Expedite Expo is a great place to get info, meet new friends and see old ones! Check out the pics from 2007! Expedite Expo 2007 - Expedite Trucking Photo Gallery Dale

Breathtaking scenery, and nice ride. Here's the link to John's journal, it's still up. In it are links to his other sites. John's Ultralight Backpacking Page He was a true original, I enjoyed talking to him. Dale

Just wandering if all the Recruiter Mods will be representing your companies at the Expo? If you're there, and I haven't met you, please introduce yourself! I'm easy to find ;). (I know John and Anne will be there!) Dale

OK folks, I'll step in and take the blame. I'm the one who makes the final judgement call in most cases. I do not discuss the reasons people are banned. Period. That is between them and us. As for what is said in this forum. When I created this forum after many requests, what folks...

OVM, I love it, and I guess I'm a redneck ;). Thanks for sharing that! Dale

Ken, No, it's not proper.. definately a breach of 'netiquette', but it is not something I have control over once it's off the forum. No one should use the emails from another's forward to send out their own mass emails. My personal habit is, if I feel something DEFINATELY would be...

The site is http://www.hazprints.com/ It costs $89.25 for the background check etc, you have to go get fingerprinted...and it takes about 60 days to get the results if I remember correctly. Then you go to the DMV to retake the written hazmat test. Dale

Cheryl, That post was not the problem, I was simply on that post when I contacted you, and the software automatically linked it. I'm sending you a PM with the rest. Dale

Dennis, The things you have listed (and Julie Wray) are required more for White Glove and Elite type loads, than normal dry box freight. As Phil said, check the website of the company you are considering. Under the requirements for the truck, they will tell you what cargo securement devices...

I wouldn't think replacing a couple of clevis pins would be regulated like more intense brake work. Tho time consuming, anyone should with minimal skills should be able to do that. I would see this as part of normal maintenance. Thanks for the info Greg.. this is exactly the kind of stuff we...

I'd like to invite you all to join us in the Garage! It's a Beta test forum we're trying, set up simply to trade maintenance tips and tricks! You'll see it at the top of the Truck Talk page, as it's a sub forum to Truck Talk. Thanks! Dale

Glad you all posted this info. It's time for an upgrade for me. I love my Sanyo Katana, but it's limited as an internet browser. I was looking at the Rumor, but I think I want a little more internet capability. Dale

Way cool Steve! Let us know how ya do! Dale

This ruling could make a huge difference on the day to day lives of drivers who use laptops in their truck. Basically, the long and short of it is, Arizona DOT thinks in-cab laptops should be subject to the TV rules (ie.. can't be in sight of driver)... FMCSA will be making a ruling. You...

This was on the news yesterday, blew my mind.. I'd never heard of it. We've all had kids, grandkids etc swimming, and they breathe a bit of water and come up sputtering. Well, apparently there are cases when water can sit in the lungs and slowly drown them. They can breathe well enough that it...

LOL.. we got this in an email too, and my wife swears it's something new.. ;) Dale
