    I actually say it like that as a joke very often. Only about 10 percent of people catch it, LOL.

    Have been hustling and bustling trying to shake hands, kiss babies, and add freight. I think this Japan thing has really had an effect on freight volumes. With a lot of Toyota plants and a few others shut down and the big 3 slowing production to conserve parts. This really has changed the...

    Wifi at the "yard"

    feel free to use it all you like. We have a couple of redundant lines and the open wifi is segregated from our internal systems so it should not be any issue. We have upgraded the antennas but as ovm says thier are still "sweeter' spots than others.

    System change/enhancement

    They found a glitch with the programing yesterday. The programmer was out until Monday to correct it, so make sure you stay in touch with dispatch. Sorry the road of progress has potholes.

    You guys all want to make a fair living. I get that. I hate someone who complains just to complain. But, I have no issue with the frustrations of hard working people that want to do good. So many things are beyond our control, but I promise we will do everything to maximize the parts that we...

    The lights are on a sensor so they don't burn energy when no one is up there. I can see about moving the ones closest to the tv if they are a problem? We had a switch but they get left on. You would be amazed how often I go up there and the tv is left on. We also dropped of the first load...

    Showers and Pilot

    If you are running diesel and using our card that should not be the case. Send me a pm and I can have our Pilot rep check it out. I have not heard of anyone else having issues. I am proud to say that I think we have one of the best shower programs out there. If they messed up I will get you...

    System change/enhancement

    I can sure look into that. Right now it is a little spread out. Memo's, here, facebook and fleetvision. I will have to look at Fleetvision so more in detail and see the pro's and con's of it and see if we can enhance that if needed.

    I hate when things are like this. I know it is all carriers but it drives me nuts. I have gotten calls from 6 or 7 other owners and it is everywhere. Recruiting is taking a million phone calls from guys starving. I don't know if the disaster in Japan, or what happened. It is almost like our...

    Library

    We are going to start a voluntary library of sorts. We are asking everyone to look and see if they have some books they are willing to donate. Then they will be available for our drivers and staff to borrow and return. We purchased some bookshelves for the lounge so we are ready to start!

    System change/enhancement

    Well I cannot speak for another carrier, but it was not something the system could just do. We had to go back and pay for custom programming to get it done. Anything is generally possible, but it is all about the DOLLAS, LOL. :D

    System change/enhancement

    Drivers have often been reluctant to take a short load as they do not want to lose "position" on the board. At the same time they do not want to be seen as turning loads down or not wanting the good revenue on the short run. Dispatch will often tell a driver that they will not drop them but...

    What's up with Load1?
