    War protesters and our modern Vietnam

    With the congress trying to pass a non-binding resolution to protest the Iraq war and the recent over the weekend protests with the usual bunch of moon bats coming out of from under the rocks, our country is now facing a new Vietnam. This does not mean that the war in Iraq is actually another...

    trucking companies

    I am wondering what is wrong? I mean that I am doing well (could be better from what I am told) and unless there is something wrong with the truck, I would look at the person(s) who are driving the truck.

    Rules for Dispatchers

    I completely agree with you TeamCaffee. The only problem I have had was the last item on the list but I wrote the rules from experience from other jobs. I find that many complaints I have heard from other company drivers are represented here and think that some things are unexcusable and is...

    newbie heading out

    BamBam, Seeing you have never been outside of Florida, I would suggest a few other things that may be more important. First thing is have the owner get the truck into a good shop and have the batteries checked out. I can tell you from practical experience that it is a pain to have flat...

    Fuel Enjecters

    I used to use Tricounty in Warren Mi and never had any problems with them when they worked on the ford trucks I had at the time. I heard all kinds of stuff about the dearborn place.

    Rules for Dispatchers

    I really wish I could go into consulting for customer service, how to dispatch properly and how to treat drivers, but I don't have patients for stupid people and would make fun of many of them. I would not do this a week in the passenger seat talking on the phone thing, it would be 3 weeks to a...

    one quick question on a rumour i keep hearing

    Wombat, I think this comes up every once in a while. I was told the day after I signed on with them that they will get rid of all vans in a month. I heard that all C units will be phased out by the end of the year when I bought this one. I take everything with a grain of salt and just keep...

    Global Warming, the religion of the nuts

    Ok I think that we can do better and be a little more concern with the environment, mainly garbage, something called consumptionism and something called consumerism but recently, actually since the dems got control (sort of) of congress, the environmental nuts have come out of the wood work and...

    WI-FI internet?

    Well I am now sitting at flying J enjoying a reasonable connection after fighting with Pilot's tech support over a connection all morning long that is worst than anything I have seen in a long time. Last night I was in Louisville with a good connection until 7PM and then all of sudden it went...

    Rules for Dispatchers

    I know that a few dispatchers and other company employees peruse this site and a few pick up on some of the things we say but after meeting a fellow EO member yesterday and discussing a really touchy subject for some of us (last item in the list), I decided to post what I think are some rules...

    WI-FI internet?

    Turtle, I can’t see access to an unsecured network access point as stealing, just as much as copying a DVD that is in my collection to put on my computer stealing. The RIAA wants you to pay for each time you copy a song for you personal use, and the MPIAA wants to encrypt every DVD so you...
