Here in Fort Wayne we have these weird on/off ramps so you have the people getting on speeding up and the people getting off slowing down in the same space, makes for some pretty scary merging sometimes, but as the person getting off I...

    I delivered a tv to a racist today, when they called to make appointment with him, he stated he only wanted a white driver and that he would call the police if any other race came to his house.

    In a straight I can't exactly "Speed Up" so that leaves slow down if I can't get over. I have no problem pulling over or slowing down for a truck, they are probably getting on as fast as they can, but to have to slow down to 45 for a car that you know can speed up to highway speeds...

    Trying to get answers out of my company is like pulling teeth, they are so big it's hard to get answers from the top without going through layers and layers of B.S.:cool:

    I swear people do not know how to merge onto the freeways here. they either stop at the top of the ramp, go the same exact speed I am going and don't slow down or speed up I've seen people drive up onto the shoulder, instead of speeding up or slowing down.:eek:

    I've also had really good luck with michelin tires on my cars, vans and box trucks. Penske uses Goodyear on all their fleet trucks and are currently testing fuel mileage/steer tires. All the rears are always replaced with recaps after the first set wears out. Never had a blowout on any...

    Had to take off work today to go to the dentist, It's amazing how time flies, one thing or another came up and then it's been four years since I had been. I broke a filling due to my habit of teeth grinding. Luckily I have no pain, my tooth just felt different.:eek:

    Baby got her blue jeans on!

    I have not jumped off the truck or docks or walls in many many years. I use both hand holds to climb into the driver seat. and I use the handhold and door strap to climb into the back or use the liftgate. The leg weights idea is a good one and also we do plan on hitting the gym two or three...

    FSC-Why don't companies pay 100% of it to us?

    It would seem to be as simple as who pays for the fuel. If you pay for the fuel you should get the fsc. I am sure before fuel prices went up fsc wasn't a common practice, now it seems to have become a revenue stream for most trucking companies.

    For those who run Ceva loads..good news.

    Yeah, that is exactly how it works. I know exactly how much I need based on the miles/round trip So if the offer is too low I tell them what I need and usually get it if I am available. If it is a pickup that is nearby and not to much of a hassle I don't usually haggle since I am already there.
