Why is it a bad idea to post names or truck numbers here with zero proof, yet it's enthusiastically recommended that you call their carrier with the same exact amount of proof?

I miss Paul Harvey.

I do it all the time, regardless. I would normally not have any idea that they are having trouble moving the other skid. Normally, I show up and ID myself and tell them I'm there for a pickup going to wherever, and they hand me paperwork to sign and load the van. Normally I have no idea what...

You tell me. Considering you think astrology has some meaning, this should be interesting.

Truckstop bums are easy to deal with. "I don't carry cash, I travel on company credit cards, and they keep track of every penny." Done.

Sure, they vary amongst locations, but they all deal with the same thing, to prevent animals from being inflicted with suffering, harm, abuse or neglect. I might be, but I seriously doubt it. Did you know that feeding a dog grapes can be considered active abuse? Grapes and raisins have a toxin...

Odd ducks? Not at all. If you ask the manager of the facility about their pet policy, I would be willing to bet that more than 95% of them have a no-pet policy, since insurance companies require it of nearly all businesses, or rather, the insurers will not cover anything related to a pet without...

The kid was eluding security. What a shocker. Of course he was eluding security. That's the whole point. That's what you do when you run out onto a baseball field, you elude security. No one runs out onto a baseball field and makes a beeline to security. As for not knowing the reason why he...

In what way do I sound like a Virgo? Hey, everybody, LRE can read a Date of Birth on an EO Profile Page! Astrology? Really? Seriously? Astrology? Virgo is the sixth Sign of the Zodiac. The first five Signs represent the growth of the individual, and Virgo brings their skills and talents...

A 17 year old leapt onto the baseball field at the top of the eighth inning during Monday night's game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the St. Louis Cardinals. He ran around in circles in the outfield, waving a white towel, for about 30 seconds and dodged two security officers and...

Here's another one that I've used in the past, and have posted here a time or two. Commercial Drivers' License (CDL) Practice Tests

The moment you slap HAZMAT placards on a van, the van becomes a CMV with all the benefits thereof, including logging of the previous 7 days. Of course, if you weren't placarded at any time during the previous 7 days, then logging it is brain-dead easy, since you were OOS as a CMV for that time...

What I'm saying is, the customer rents the entire truck, the advertised load capacity of the truck, regardless of how much or how little they decide to ship, and number of skids or the weight doesn't matter, as long as it will fit into the truck's dimension and weight limits. With general...

It's not much of a place for a person, either. :D Oddly enough, many dogs really like it out here in cargo vans and trucks. They are well adjusted, even tempered and friendly, not stressed out at all. In my van, the way it's laid out, there's just no way to create a space that the dog could...

Well, Streakn, like I said, it is not against the law nor cruelty to animals unless the animal is being inflicted with suffering or harm. The idea of doing it might seem cruel because you wouldn't want to be tied to a fence or because the dog doesn't like it, but not liking something is not...

No. Why should they? There's just a snotload of things that I don't have to worry about that they haven't put in writing. CSA 2010 covers the drivers, yes, but only drivers of CMV's. CSA 2010 does not apply to the drivers of cars, light trucks and vans nor to the drivers of otherwise...

Nearly every business in this country who carries liability insurance has a no pet policy. Guaranteed. Assume they all do unless they specifically state they allow pets. Some shippers and consignees will enforce it strictly, but the ones who don't strictly enforce it will allow pets on the...

CSA 2010 BASICs: Unsafe Driving — Operation of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) by drivers in a dangerous or careless manner. Example Violations: Speeding, reckless driving, improper lane change, and inattention. (FMCSR...

It's that Pikeville mountain man blood you got running through your veins. :D

You'll lose a few loads here and there, but mainly you'll just get passed over because of a pet and won't know you missed the load. Most businesses, shippers and consignees included, don't allow pets on the property because of the liability. There's always that one dog that never bites that...
