    Hey Hawk. My downstairs neighbors are Detroit escapees. It's not too late to make a run for it.

    Ok. I tried to find a link on that site. Is this the list that shows not just prices in each state, but the best value overall considering fuel taxes? I think Broom or T-Hawk have mentioned in recently.

    Coincidentally, can anyone name me the guy on XM who publishes a Top 5/Bottom 5 states for fueling value each week and is it published on a website, or just on the radio show?

    PII Poll

    Just a question from an outsider: Why would you want to allow Truck #11 to bump you from a first out in the great spot you chose to sit in, just because truck #11 chose to sit on a dead board for 5 days, and now wants to come and visit you? You want the system that rewards people for making...

    Help Please, Need Advice

    Sounds like your in a real hurry, because you need money? If you need the money that bad, I would slow down quite a bit. I never make wise decisions when I'm rushed. You'll always need money, but you won't always be able to undo a bad decision that you made in a hurry. Take a deep breath.......

    RPMs to fast?

    DaveKC explained in another thread recently that dealers usually buy class 7 trucks in bulk in order to get the best price, and then outfit them accordingly for specific use. You may have a truck outfitted for local use or as RichM said. I am finding that a lot of the trucks we buy for...

    Reply from Pilot Corporation - Shower Procedures

    Yeah, it doesn't sound like they were willing to check into the matter, but rather to defend their position that NONE of their emplyees mix and match customer towels with cleaning towels. This is definitely NOT the attitude you hope for in management.

    Weirdest DOT story???

    When I ran a cargo van, I got hassled one time at a Wal Mart Distribution warehouse. I was the only small shipment among a room of TT OTR guys. This warehouse didn't have a peddle door for small shipments like most do. They were all laughing about how they were gonna move their truck and...

    Rates

    Air Freight delivery zones are not arbitrary. They were set up by an organization called ACI. This organization is no longer an entity, but up until a few tyears ago, they published a list of freight rates for different airport cities.. They were organized in the fifties to help freight...

    Kamilm, What kind of zones is he wanting. Are you talking zones of the United States, or local zones, as in air freight?

    Info For A Tri-state Company!!!!!!!!

    I think his reference was for their truckload division, and not expedite.

    2006 Hino

    Maybe it's that custom axle ratio. I sure can't blame anyone for changing it. I guess I just don't understand why so many of these dealers (not just Hino) configure these trucks for expedite on trannys and axles that were made for local in the first place. I was showing my wife what the...

    another dumb question

    Very true. I know some on here will tout that "white glove" service originated with Fed CC, but actually it is a term that has existed in freight for many years. Ordinarily, if I saw the term "white glove service" on a BOL, it meant that It probably required inside delivery/unpack/debris...

    Big Sleepers and 34 Hour Restarts

    If you are off-duty, the DOT cannot make you produce proof of where you spent your night. The only reason they might, is if you say that you went to a hotel. Then they may make you show a receipt. If you are sleeping (at home, a friend's or somewhere elase), but not in the truck sleeper, just...

    dont worry about spelling errors on eo anymore.

    You mean that I'm a part of the "in crowd" too? Dang, I was never a part of the "in crowd" growing up. That's kind of cool, I guess.
