The sticker they are talking about is probably the FAST transponder. That is a must if you are going to run a FAST load. While you may not run much freight now that would be FAST, I would expect that as time goes on there will be more companies getting on the program.

I used to work with a guy who sold some, then told the boss it was stolen while he slept. He only did it twice and got away with it. He had a variety of scams.

Putting the tag in front will keep more weight off the steer. How important that is will depend on how heavy you end up being. I know that some D units with big bunks have a problem getting weight to the steer and can't load to their full GVW because it puts them over on the drive. In this case...

Hey Danny. I sent you an e-mail the other day to see how you're doing. I had a similar situation once going to Windsor to drop off paperwork. This was one of the occasional exceptions to the rule about how much nicer the Canadian officers are. I should have just lied and said I was picking up...

During my interview they spent more time talking about things like how much booze and smokes you could buy after so many hours across the border and making sure you declare purchases. They will ask you if everything on your application is true. Make sure you wash, rinse, and dry your hands very...

I'm also a fan of the Compaq. I'm on my second one, and I would still be using the first one but I needed more power(insert your best Tim Allen grunt here). Mine have been subjected to temperature extremes and haven't had any problem. But, I know Bryan and....well, never mind.

Davekc and The Good Guy have given you the best advice for your situation. The vast majority of small business start-ups fail because of under capitolization. I have met many in expediting who are just one breakdown away from losing there trucks, and usually it's because it took everything they...

RE: And in Canada RE: Indiana Time Wild Bill: All the best on gettin' hitched! What would really help is if the whole state could decide what they want to do. Having a handfull of counties here and there doing what they want is what really creates the confusion. If the state as a whole decided...

I've been using S&T for some time now and I just upgraded to '05. There seems to be routing issues. I went home over the weekend with freight I couldn't deliver until Mon. morn. Just to try out the new program I checked the mileage from Alpena to Port Colborne, On. The thing sent me north 40...

A few years ago I ended up being buried deep in the rotation in Detroit on a Friday morning. I told headquarters I was just going to go home(Alpena,Mi). He said they had a Windsor to Lansing that had been turned down by two people allready and he was sure no one else in line would want it. So I...

I have found with my Ford that the cruise will go off with a very slight touch of the pedal. The brake lights won't even go on, but the cruise will turn off.

How about daylight time all year?

I think I have seen all of this while brushing my teeth and washing up in the morning. What a glamorous life we live out here!

Just a bit of trivia. The word "tip" is actually an acronym standing for "to insure promptness". Back in medevel(sp?) times, after a hard day of maiming and pilaging, the men would go to there favorite pub and put their tip on the table as soon as they sat down. The bigger the tip, the better...

That's a big 10-4 on the bank picking up on this scam. This has been around for a while now. My rule on e-mail is, if I don't recognize the sender, I don't open it. It not only keeps you away from those kinds of temptations, it helps keep you away from the virus of the day.

Draco, was that the Lordstown plant? That place is very famous for that. My first time there I went in to make sure I was at the right dock. When he said I was, I told him it was 1 30# box I could easily carry in. I was told in very certain terms they would come out and get it. I love the line...

I think if they were going to regulate vans it would have happened by now. Especially with the major revisions the log book just went through and is apparently still going through. If it did happen, I would be in a C or D unit in a heartbeat. If you're going to be regulated, you may as well go...

This has been mentioned in the past but didn't get off the ground. I think just getting expeditors to turn on their radios is the first step. I'm one of them that just leaves it off. When I do turn it on and have to listen to 2 drivers arguing about which on is the bigger a-hole..., well, you...

Broompilot, chill out dude! First of all, the huge delays seem to have improved a great deal. With everthing being set up in advance coming into the U.S., that has allowed most of the officers that were working inside to come out to the booths. More booths open allows for a smoother flow of...

Bryan.......are'nt you the talking dog on Family Guy?
