    E-Trac Placement

    I have the plywood deck and the E-track flush with each other, so freight cannot get hung up in the rails. Well, not exactly flush, as 1/2" plywood is slightly higher than the E-track. 1/2" plywood is actually 15/32 of an inch thick, or .468 inch. E-track thickness is .430 inch thick, so the...

    What Truck Parking Changes Have You Seen With New HOS?

    Like the Rockwall incident, I've noticed more overcrowding on the weekends than during the week. The Pilot in Sturbridge, MA (was especially nuts), the TA in Southington, CT last weekend, this this weekend the J in Franklin, KY on Saturday and the J in Birmingham and TA in Montgomery, AL on...

    Spread of DNA databases sparks ethical concerns

    "A little, ok very underhanded. But the results can't be denied." The ends justify the means? That's a dangerously slippery slope right there. Just ask the NSA. They know.

    Double-Checking Your Scans....

    As in, I'm sorry I wasted my time bothering someone who obviously thinks I haven't a clue as to what I'm talking about despite the fact that I do. Yes, there CAN be lots of human interaction, and there will be for a time while the scanners are new, but that won't last very long as the system...

    Look, all I'm doing is giving you some information that you may find helpful. If you don't, well then I'm sorry I bothered you.

    Double-Checking Your Scans....

    No, it's not 100% without human interaction, but it's close. Paperwork gets accepted into the system, or rejected, 24/7, even at times when administrative personnel isn't in the office. That's the whole reason for automating the in-truck scanning. I've seen exactly how it works, both when things...

    No, I didn't know what you were trying to say, I only know what you actually said.

    Double-Checking Your Scans....

    Pardon me for jumping in here, but when you scan paperwork via the QC you are scanning it directly into the system. It's not like an email where someone receives it, checks it over, and then puts it into the system or rejects it if something it's wrong. If you scan paperwork and manually input...

    Zimmerman Not Guilty

    The "Settings" are the settings in the EO/Tapatalk app so that those signatures won't be sent in the first place. Those that don't set it to "none" will still have them sent, and they'll still show up.

    The ultimate noob question

    I know back before the recession hit (you know, right before Obama first took office), I know Panther was booking 800-900 loads a day during the week, and about half that on the weekends. That 800 number was always my measuring stick for how things were going in a given week. As for the 2200...

    DOT violation

    No exceptions? None at all? Not even for "proper" L-track, which is stronger and lighter than E-track?

    Zimmerman Not Guilty

    Thank you for your thoughtful and well reasoned contributions to the thread. :D

    Zimmerman Not Guilty

    The trial, and the jurors, said differently. It wasn't as cut and dry as you seem to think. There were no witnesses to the shooting, otherwise they would have taken the stand. The witnesses that did take the stand had conflicting accounts. The things the jury focused on was on the manslaughter...

    Zimmerman Not Guilty

    It was ASSERTED before the trial, not established. If it were established, then the trial never would have happened.

    Looking for a list of reputable cargo van expediting companies

    I'm pretty sure that you'll find that tactic a counterproductive one. Correct. You asked me to stop interacting with you, and I declined. It's entertaining. You don't think it's particularly insightful or educational because, despite your advanced education, you have a significant reading...

    Zimmerman Not Guilty

    Actually, those requirements weren't met. The prosecution failed to prove otherwise. There's a difference. Additionally... To which Paul replied... But that wasn't established. Not guilty isn't the same thing as establishing it was in self defense. The prosecution failed to prove their case...

    Bag-less Walmart

    Walmart made a big slash in 2008, I think it was, when they announced their plans to reduce plastic waste in their stores worldwide by one-third (25% in the US and 50% in other countries). The plan would cut the equivalent of 9 billion plastic bags from stores each year, and eliminate more than...

    Van Insurance

    A cargo van may not be a Commercial MOTOR Vehicle, but it is a commercial vehicle if, as others have stated, it hauls for-hire freight under motor carrier authority.
