And don't forget the one other thing required to be a White Glove driver, you have to be cool!!!! LOL Layoutshooter

FedEx also requires thier T-Val drivers to train on the systems every 18 month. We hope to do that soon. Our truck is now set up for T-Val but we are not. Layoutshooter

Who are you leased with? Overall I think teams will always do better than solo's, at least in my opinion. They seldom have logging problems. We are a White Glove team. Miles per week means little to us. What counts is how much do we make. We often make more on shorter loads depending on what...

We WILL be attacked again, when, who knows? I spent 20 years in the intell business. 3 years in the Army Security Agency(now disbanded) and 17 with the National Security Agency. We would stand a much better chance of stopping these things if we were ever to take our intell needs seriouslly. I...

Very interesting, BUT, since in can't read or write spelling is not important!!! Layoutshoote

We have been running for almost 3 years, most of it White Glove. Our loads have varied in weight from an 11 ounces to 16,000lbs. 85% of our loads are between 400-6000lbs. We are a reefer truck. So far it has paid for itself, we shall see over the long term. A liftgate is almost a must if you are...

Thanks, I will look into it. Layoutshooter

We would not be without a lift-gate. Right now we are White Glove but would have one even if we were not. It really keeps us working. Gets us both White Glove and Express loads. It is something else. The more things your truck can do the more you work. Will always have a pallet jack too. That...

My laptop runs very slow. One reason is Norton Internet Security. There are better virus progams that are free but they do not have firewalls. Is there a really good software firewall other than the Norton/Mcaffe? What about routers? Is there a hardware solution to the problem? Like a...

You got it Greg, and in Nov they will all run in and pull the "D" or "R" lever without having any idea why. They will want socialized health care, socialized retirement, socialized housing and who knows what else. And only the rich will pay taxes. Then when everything costs twice what it does...

Greg is right, the Pres is mostly nothing in the importance scale. Good thing with all the bafoones running this time, Socialists all. Greg, look at the goons from our state. Carl (Marx) Levin, Debbie (Stab them now only if they beleive in freedom) Stabanow and my own rep John (DIngleberry)...

WE had better wake up. If all this heads the way it looks like it is heading we will all be in the bread line. GullDarn Socialists. I truely regret spending 20 years of my life defending this country from the evils of socialism. Now we will be a socialist country. I have wasted my life and many...

We carry winter clothes, 3-4 days of de-hydrated food, fire starters(brick kind) space blankets, hand saw and hatchet, signal devices. We have all but the extra clothes in a rubbermaid tube. Keeps it dry and all in one place. Dress in layers, and remeber, NO COTTON!!! Cotton can kill in cold...

Greg is right, voting is the answer. There is only one really big problem. There are NO quality candidates to vote for!!! They ALL suck. My dead dogs could do a better job than the clowns we have. A boycott of California won't help. We need to shut down country wide. Truckers are the single most...

What kind of work are you looking to get done? John's Standard Diesel in Toledo is good for oil changes and general work, breaks etc. Scott's Truck repair in Toledo is good for body work, reefer work and some general work. I live near Monroe MI and use those two places most of the time. Both go...

Ditto that. Try to get stuck out in the Northeast. Layoutshooter

NA NA NEE BOO BOO!!!! Let us all be adults. No snitching or snitcning about snitching!!! If something REALLY need s reporting let us do it. If you ar nit picking/snitching/tattletailing about someone else remember one thing, stones are hard on glass houses!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Layoutshooter

Snitches Suck!!! having said that if I were to see a driver that was drunk/druged etc I would try to get them to pull over and get them to take themsleves off the road. If I could not I would call them in. Snitching to snitch for you own gain is so Democractic party!!! We have to protect our...

Thanks for the info Piper1. You helped me learn something that I did not understand too well. That is why I visit here often. Layoutshooter

Correct me if I am wrong, but the pre-heaters will do nothing for when you are sitting. They will not keep the tanks or filters from gelling unless you are running. Right? I ALWAYS put additive in regardless of where I might happen to be. I start putting in winter blend additive around mid-Sept...
