    Today's New Truck Drivers and Their Training

    SWIFT - "Swing Wide It's a Friggin' Trailer!" SWIFT backwards - "Two :censoredsign:s In a White Semi". And they say the CB isn't educational. <snort>

    Where is the best place for Tractors?

    Oh, you should care. I think both of you need to be paddled, but I know of no paddle big enough for either of you aѼѼes, so, failing that, you two need to get a room, that's what I think. Mostly we're in deep discussion regarding the similarities of ceaselessly arguing on the Internet to that...

    New Sticker for the back of my Van..

    I like how you waited until the dust settled before making it, too. Yup. :( There's no reason this type of thing cannot be discussed without keeping score of who got a smack down or anything else. It's not a contest, and it doesn't need to be confrontational. There are plenty of people who...

    New Sticker for the back of my Van..

    Often it's not even a conscious thought that does it. It's subliminal. He sees the truck, the carrier logo, the sticker, and thinks, "I don't like that." It's the sticker he doesn't like, but in the mind the sticker and the logo become associated with each other. Then, days, weeks or even months...

    What Do Nancy Grace and Chaz Bono Have in Common?

    They will both be cuttin' a rug on this year's Dancing With the Stars. I just don't even know how to process that.

    Easy way to take off signs?

    When you watch someone who does it all the time do it, you see how easy it can be. Doing it yourself, it takes nearly an entire truck for it to get easy. But once you've done it, you're good to go. On the other hand, I watched a "pro" take my Panther lettering off with a blow torch, and he did...

    California at it again

    Easy to get around. The babysitters will be independent contractors if they are over 18. Here's the text of the bill. You couldn't make this up if you tried. Who wrote this crap? This is actually part of the bill... it reads like a Blog...

    Load 1 ST staying busy?

    At the Pilot Flying J, when you get anywhere between 14 and 49 gallons in a fillup, you get ½ shower credit that is good for 5 days. You stop twice, getting 14 gallon each time, the two ½ credits equals a full shower credit. $3.80 a gallon cash price, 28 gallons = $106.40 spent to get the free...

    Easy way to take off signs?

    Yep, the people who remove lettering for a living (the outsourced vendors or the people in the shop at a carrier) use a heat gun, then the corner of a plastic scraper (or a fingernail) to lift the edge of the decal and peel back while heating the rest. One the decals are removed, a little Goo...

    Ford Vans with Sprinter bodies types

    Oh, I know. I know. I had a water pump go out in Texas, but got it working enough to get to the delivery in southern Louisiana, and then looked for someone to replace it. I supplied the part, but everyone was afraid of it. "We don't work on Sprinters." And I'm like, "It's a water pump. A w a h...

    Not to put too fine a point on it, but when you post something to a public forum, you instantly make it everybody's business. If you aren't prepared for the comments, don't post to a public forum.

    The Arrogance of Authority

    That's very true, you should walk a mile in another man's shoes before you judge him. That way, when you judge him, he's a mile away and has no shoes.

    Our new website!

    Panther breaks up their board into large areas, regions called "Virtual Terminals" and it shows historical data as an average per day for the last 5 days. Online the data is very current. The QC data can be 24 hours old (for a reposition suggestion). They used to have boards that were just...

    Ford Vans with Sprinter bodies types

    I warehouse all my parts at Europarts of San Diego and Berry Dodge of Corsicana. Overnight shipping is available from both, and both have parts cheaper than most dealers. There's also Autozone for a surprising number of parts. Most Sprinter repairs do not require a Sprinter technician, but for...

    New Sticker for the back of my Van..

    Bingo! Especially when you're picking up or delivering automotive freight, where the smarmy union members just luuuuuv Obama. :D Every 4 years there are a handful of small businesses that put signs out front lauding their favorite candidate. It may make one feel better to do that, but they are...

    Ford Vans with Sprinter bodies types

    The people with the most problems with their Sprinters are the ones who view it as just another cargo van, same as an other Ford or Chevy, except with more room. So they trend to treat it like any other cargo van. But a Sprinter is, after all, a Mercedes, and needs to be cared for as you would a...

    No problem. I believe in giving credit where credit is due. :D From my perspective, it's not just a value to be added in, it's everything. It's huge. Everything stems from that. Having to play the game puts the focus on the game, instead of the customer which is where it belongs. When you don't...
