Thanks for the informative update, backhaul. I share the same reservations as Leo on this one. ALK puts out PC Miler and CoPilot, but they are very, very different products. They use a completely different routing engine. Looking at the specs of the latest PC Miler 22 and comparing them to the...

I don't own a Sprinter but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night. No, wait, I DO own a Sprinter and I have an Espar heater. I get that and a Holiday Inn Express confused sometimes.

The best free antivirus is AVG. It's not truly great, but it's free, and it's the best of the free. The best antivirus is NOD32 from Eset. It's truly great.

Star beat me to it, nearly word for word. :)

That's the loophole. If posts or threads are edited or deleted, a note is to be left behind stating the reason for the edits. But a post or thread may be moved to a "more appropriate forum" at any time for any reason. In this case, the thread wasn't actually deleted, but rather merely mooooved...

I sometimes have a problem when I come here to find entire threads just gone, poof, and some times I have postings in those threads, yet there was no message left behind as to why my post, much less the thread, was deleted, nor did I get the courtesy of a PM to let me know that my post was being...

Far as I know, it's always been that way, if the load offer is below that of your contract rate.

If they start offering me loads lower than my contract rate, like for 70 cents, then I'm going to want to know the specifics of why. Like, how much do they have in the load, and what my actual percentage of the load is, 'cause once we're off-contract, the only thing left is the percentage and...

Yeah, E-1's been screwing drivers on the FSC since they started offering it. :D At least there is that $1 a mile thing, tho. That's something that not all of them offer.

That's the thing, though, and it's something to be aware of and guard against... Bolt is small enough that it's really not a matter is dispatch being "on the ball", and if you're not loaded you might have a tendency to think that. That would be a mistake.

Just keep in mind that it's gonna happen. It does to everybody. they can move you, but all they're doing is moving you to another place to sit. You can burn up the QC airwaves all you want, scream at them to find you a load, but they cannot manufacture a load for you. If you sit for several...

Back when Panther was booking van loads at $2 and $2.25 and $2.50 a mile, they never offered to spread the wealth with inflated rates, it was always "at your rate". They might have been a little quicker to toss a bonus to help with deadhead or something, but not anymore. Now that freight is slow...

Great, now I have this mental picture of a bazillion little maniacal hedgehogs driving around the country.

Thanks :) Well, the mere fact that one can consider these things everyday and mundane is a testament to how well the ISO standards work. Being ISO 9001:2000 (soon to be replaced with the updated ISO 9001:2008 version) is kind of a big deal, really, especially as a part of the overall supply...

I go home once or twice a year, for 6 months at a time. Seriously, I was home in May for 10 days when my mom died, and I was home for 5 weeks (the last week in July and all of August) to do stuff. Other than that, I've been out here.

I know, I know, I know (<---- good example) The ISO standards are different than laws or legal rules and regulations, and they can sometimes be confused. ISO is more specifications-related, and voluntary at that. I figure it's better to have too much information than not enough, so I...

Can't burp. Too busy.

The ISO standards (Organisation internationale de normalisation, it's a French thing, but they're headquartered in Geneva) are standards developed for the standardization of materials, manufacture of products and the provision of services. When the large majority of products or services in a...

Too funny. But I can see how someone can make that mistake. You ask about "those people" over there and you hear, "Oh, that's NLM," and I can see how you'd make the connection with that being a "company" instead of merely the NLM Department if ya didn't know better. It's like at Con-Way, they...
