    Reefers and Explosives

    We are going to look into several options. I don't think it will be easy or quick. At least I found out BEFORE in got inspected while carrying freight I was not allowed to carry. Layoutshooter

    Wiper Blades

    I will look into the springs, I think I will just replace them. I am having problems with both but the passenger side is worse. Layoutshooter

    Reefers and Explosives

    From what I understand it is not the heat but an ignition source. Layoutshooter

    Is this good or bad for Expedite.

    I don't think that it will affect us all that much. We are White Glove TVAL. We can haul most everthing (except explosives) that White Glove handles. We are exclusive use, etc. If anything it MIGHT increase our business. When a shipper calls in they might choose to up grade to Custom Critical...

    You are welcome. I put this out to inform as many as I can. What people do with the information is thier business. I know what I am doing, I no longer haul them. Layoutshooter

    heated wiper blades

    I saw adds for this and a couple of others. I do thought I read, maybe last year, that someone in here had bought one of these products and that they did not last very long. The electric part broke. Layoutshooter

    Wiper Blades

    Why? Are winter blades longer or stiffer? I also thought I read in here a while back that the heated blades did not last very long. Layoutshooter

    Truck Dealers

    I guess that I would not mention names because maybe I was the only one screwed. ( I doubt it though). Thing is that EVERY dealer will get bashed by someone some time. It only takes one bad thing for someone to get PO'd. I wish there was a vehicle other than the BBB for finding out about...

    Wiper Blades

    That is a part of it Dakota, they were flatter back then. They did not seem to freeze like they do now. Might be my failing memory, just seems that way. I did try the Rain-ex framelss, they did not even come close to working on my truck. Layoutshooter

    Reefers and Explosives

    You can't haul class 1 explosives then. I have the same problem. My reefer draws fuel off the main truck tanks as well. D.O.T. made quite clear to my carrier that it is NOT legal for me to carry ANY class 1 load. As of now, according to D.O.T., there are NO exceptions to that rule. Below is the...

    Wiper Blades

    Is it just me or are wiper blades getting worse? I cannot seem to find a blade that will work properly on my truck. I have tried 6 or 7 different brands, types, sizes and they all seem to streak or miss entire areas of the windshield. They also freeze and then they really miss the glass. When I...

    Truck Dealers

    I can tell you one thing for sure, I will not buy a new or used truck from the dealer I bought this one from. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I learned my lesson. Layoutshooter

    I met my Waterloo this week

    I find it amazing. The "J" is in chapter 11 right now. I was at the "J" in Rock Hill, SC the other day. I came out of the shower and went to sit in the TV lounge to wait on my wife to finish her shower. (she always takes 3-5 years longer than I do) I was not able to sit in the lounge because...

    Reefers and Explosives

    I want to make one thing clear. I did NOT write the sentence below. It was part of an email from my carriers safety department. They talked with D.O.T. to confirm what I asked. I left off the name of the person who wrote this, I did not think it right to post names of people without permission...

    Super Bowl

    I have tried to find a place online but have not found one. You can buy the game on the NFL site if I rememeber correctly but I never found a free site. Layoutshooter

    Reefers and Explosives

    The shipper will ship it if you will take it. It is a D.O.T. reg. I too have hauled class 1 on my reefer truck. I made the mistake of assuming that the shipper knew what they were doing. Then I went to pick up a load at a place in VA. I had asked my dispatch several times if they would load a...

    Reefers and Explosives

    Just be careful. I am sure a class 1 that required heating or cooling came with it's own exemption. As to "normal" class 1 loads, I checked with my carrier and they said that I am totally correct, it is not legal unless the tank is drained. Below is the note from out safety person. That is why I...

    Robert Duvall

    No Moot, I was not speaking of owning or not owning a gun. I was speaking in general. I can honestly say that no movie to date, that I have seen, has made me want to own or not own anything. To me movies are just pretend and only for entertainment. I might have to bow to Turtle's observation on...
