I also think there is some terminology confusion with BD. Just to clarify for him; An O/O is someone who owns the truck and operates the truck. An owner is someone who owns the truck and hires, or sub-contracts, a driver to operate it for him. That person is not an O/O. I'm with a small company...

You alluded to the agenda in your previous post in that a Schneider Vp is in a prominant position in all this. Making things harder for teams would benefit an outfit like them that can easily move a load coast to coast with drop and hook.

Nice post Bryan. (The gallery applauds politely.)

Got mine Wed. in Northern Mich. Adress change was handled in a very competent manner, which is more than I can say for the phone company!

You need it if you will be clearing freight with the FAST system. I don't know about the cost.

My last 2 physicals were done by different doctors and both used the whisper. My feeling is you would have a problem with it. Are you using a hearing aid? You may be all right then.

What does pedantic mean? Is it unique to the Canadian language?

I'd just like to emphasize what you said about not being able to haul more than the GVWR. I've talked to some who think they could license their vans for 12000# and legally run down the road with 4 or 5k on. NOT the case!!

I have no personal experience with this, but the numbers I have heard are around a grand to 1200.

I would call the number on your FAST card. I'm sure they can hook you up.

A few years ago one of our vans was chased down after going by the Tecumseh scale. He was brought back and inspected. The officer sent a letter off to Thompson saying the vans needed to stop. Since then I've talked to a couple of people who have asked at the different scales and it sounds like...

RE: :( HOS - what's going on? Maybe this is the a And with the passing of Common Sense, we witness the rise of Anti-Common Sense. His name is Political Correctness. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

A light touch with the right hand and the right foot. Trying too hard is the most common problem with someone learning. The low gears require very little fuel pedal.

If I'm not mistaken, it's against the law for a company to require that you buy their insurance.

Well said LDB. I joined this Forum because because I enjoy seeing what people have to say about the business I'm in and I like to be helpful when I can. Dynamite, I'm no rocket scientist, but I would like to think I'm somewhere in the range of average. I truly enjoy reading what EVERYONE has...

At the very least people should use minimal punctuation. Just a period at the end of a sentence makes a huge difference. A long post that is one huge run-on sentence is VERY difficult to read. When over use of abbreviations and errors is added to that, forget about it. Is it just laziness...

I have a friend with a FL70 who is going through this problem right now. He called Freightliner about a new one and they are on national backorder. If he pays up front they will order it but with no guarantee when it may arrive. They would'nt even try to cross reference to see what they could...

I've had several versions of Streets and Trips and they always had issues with the route. Especially from where I live in Northern Mich. I just got '06 and from the little bit I've played around it seems to be better. I do a lot of what you do with adding cities to see the differences in routes...

RE: Revenue Potential of Tractor vs. Straight Truc 105 dollars a mile?!?!! Sign me up!

Sometimes attempts at humor don't come across well in a forum. Particularly when the person trying to be funny can't seem to spell or construct a sentence at an early elementary school level. You did get some great responces Broom. When mine were young I had an OTR job that had me home very...
