    Canada passports for Canada

    $60 for 10 years seems very reasonable. Was'nt there talk of a FAST card being used in lieu of the passport? And, is there actually anyone who cares what Shumer has to say?

    Company fleets

    Try Hours has a few company trucks in addition to their O/O fleet. A. Blair is a small company truck fleet, but they may be team only, I'm not sure. Most expedite companies are O/O. Most have some small fleet owners who have units leased to them. You should be able to talk to an owner through...

    Con_way Now ??

    I've done a little bit of flatbed. I don't know the details of your situation, but I'm sure you don't want to go for #4. Some loads are easy, but some can be a real pain in the posterior(or in your case, a bit higher up). I know a guy who did well at first, but after a while it just became too...

    Canada advice for newbie considering expedite

    To be blunt, your circumstances would not be expediting friendly. If TST had a specific dedicated run, then maybe. But you would probably find yourself sitting home more than working because it would be tough getting you going early in the day on a regular basis. And, from time to time, there...

    Congratulations Lawrence and EO Staff!

    LDB, make sure you have your most comfortable walking shoes with you. It's huge! Will this replace, or be in addition to, the expo?

    My "1-ton" van can haul 2500# set up the way it is. That puts me at my GVW. It would be more without sleeper and all the stuff I carry for 2 weeks out.

    Question

    I absolutly agree with you Goodguy. What I was referring to as not being deeply personal are whatever tickets or accidents you have had.

    Fuel Surcharge Increase

    A tip of the cap to my company as well. They got a little bit more out of G.M. and Chrysler, and have come up with a bit out of their own pocket. Thanx.

    Question

    I don't recall ever signing anything or giving special permission for a driving record check. Remember, this is not deeply personal info. Most companies will wait until they have some sign that you are truly interested in them because it does cost a couple bucks. The background check costs a bit...

    Custom Avatars

    Can you help me get a picture from my pictures to my avatar? I can only get the box with an x in it. I see the recommended size but don't know how to change that. WARNING!!! I am, at best, a functional retard with computers.

    Now the truth is out.

    RE: Truth in the eyes of the beholder... Another issue brought up about the busses was not having a place to take people. Seems to me some high ground out of harms way would suffice in the short term. A competent evacuation plan should have included arranging a place to go.

    A lift gate can be a problem because it can keep the truck from being able to lock into a dock.

    Box Truck in the Night

    There are a few of them out here, but not really all that many. It seems to me, if you're going to move up and have the log book, DOT, and all that, it just makes sense to go dock level and have a decent bunk. For now, I'll just stick with my iddy-biddy van.

    Time to park the truck?

    Every year I ask Santa for the expediter crystal ball. Maybe this year... Part of being fuel smart is obviously idling. I'm at a J this weekend and am making good use of their facilities. I shut my van off Friday night and have'nt started it since. It's been close to 90 this weekend. There's a...

    I've had enough

    I sometimes get freight from Delco/Delphi, and there is a place that makes adhesives. Also, surrounding area isn't too bad. But, I am still here. Hmmm...

    weigh stations and log books

    The problem I have heard of in a state like Alabama is showing them what you have done previously. I say that their state law does not compell me to log in another state. So, if I have'nt been in Alabama in the last 10 days, it's none of their bussiness. Disscuss.....
