Mike, Opps... Sorry.. At the time I was distracted between a few things going on in front of me.

I completely agree with you TeamCaffee. The only problem I have had was the last item on the list but I wrote the rules from experience from other jobs. I find that many complaints I have heard from other company drivers are represented here and think that some things are unexcusable and is...

Maybe it is time to use a real operating system?

BamBam, Seeing you have never been outside of Florida, I would suggest a few other things that may be more important. First thing is have the owner get the truck into a good shop and have the batteries checked out. I can tell you from practical experience that it is a pain to have flat...

I used to use Tricounty in Warren Mi and never had any problems with them when they worked on the ford trucks I had at the time. I heard all kinds of stuff about the dearborn place.

I really wish I could go into consulting for customer service, how to dispatch properly and how to treat drivers, but I don't have patients for stupid people and would make fun of many of them. I would not do this a week in the passenger seat talking on the phone thing, it would be 3 weeks to a...

Wombat, I think this comes up every once in a while. I was told the day after I signed on with them that they will get rid of all vans in a month. I heard that all C units will be phased out by the end of the year when I bought this one. I take everything with a grain of salt and just keep...

Ok I think that we can do better and be a little more concern with the environment, mainly garbage, something called consumptionism and something called consumerism but recently, actually since the dems got control (sort of) of congress, the environmental nuts have come out of the wood work and...

Which dealer?

It was last year this time when I got hung up on, last time for that. I just wanted to post something during the time I am waiting for a load.

Van Total 39,002 Loaded 32,323 $.72 per mile I went home a lot. Truck Total 12,324 Loaded 9,594 $1.35 per mile This included the trip home with the truck, the trips to get things fixed and trips made joy riding around showing off the thing.

Well I am now sitting at flying J enjoying a reasonable connection after fighting with Pilot's tech support over a connection all morning long that is worst than anything I have seen in a long time. Last night I was in Louisville with a good connection until 7PM and then all of sudden it went...

I know that a few dispatchers and other company employees peruse this site and a few pick up on some of the things we say but after meeting a fellow EO member yesterday and discussing a really touchy subject for some of us (last item in the list), I decided to post what I think are some rules...

Turtle, I can’t see access to an unsecured network access point as stealing, just as much as copying a DVD that is in my collection to put on my computer stealing. The RIAA wants you to pay for each time you copy a song for you personal use, and the MPIAA wants to encrypt every DVD so you...

OK here are a few things. First I feel that it takes 2 years of more to really learn the business. I mean that you may learn a lot in your first year to make money but don’t expect that to be it, you are always learning and the real money comes after that time. A few here will say that you...

Yea that spells lexus but I wish Penske would go over to Telegraph and 94 and take that d*mn bridge arch out of Michigan.

Well I got to say after reading the thread after I posted, I got to add that I park 2/3 of the way in the spot towards the front. this leaves enough room to be seen my most and also helps some of the drivers in parking thier rig. I pull back if I see them in a tight spot most of the time, a few...

Road Hooligan, I think being governor of a large state does qualify - it did for bill clinton but again bush was a business owner too. Not defending Bush, but I find that; The dems have others who are better qualified and would by far make a better and more effective president than Obama...

oh come on tallcal, I am sitting here bored out of my mind and stopped reading to see what you had to say. I looked forward to your reply. I don't want to have you to give up, just tell and show me I am wrong.

But Tallcal, I agree with you about Saudi Arabia. I just don't want to sit here and type four hours explaining the obvious. I think that if there is a country we need to seriously pull out of it is Saudi Arabia. And I do get it, but there is nothing we can do about it until someone get into the...
