    How does everyone else feel about this

    Something a lot of truckers don't know is Shipper responsibility. If a shipper knowingly loads a truck that is illegal and dangerous to conduct operations they can be sued the same as the trucking company. That's why companies will not knowingly overload trucks anymore (unless their crazy)...

    How does everyone else feel about this

    One of my drivers back in the early 70's would run to Sas////wan (can't spell it) all the time. They had a shortage of Levis up there and couldn't get any. The one's they did get were selling for up to a $100 bucks ea. Back then that was way to much. He would go buy them at Stores and get...

    water from the tail pipe

    This one I know. Your driving a Chevy. Believe it or not it's designed that way. I had an old 350 that rotted the exhaust out from the moisture. I wrote Chevy and they told me all their engines do that. The higher the concentration of moisture the better your engine was running. That...

    The Most Disturbing Personality on Cable Television

    This next election is going to be part of the "BIG BANG THEORY". The TV ads are going to be three times what the last one was. I'm sick of looking at the smug look. I used to watch the news a lot and I mean a lot and I had to stop or my BP was going through the roof. I would rather have...

    What can we do to make it easier for dispatchers?

    That right there says it all about dispatchers. John E runs an exceptional system by far from all that I've heard. Team Caffee talking about the weight ticket, good grief some of these guy's. When I had 12 TT,:cool: a driver called me at 1AM in the morning, "I gotta a flat tire". I won't...

    C/V's Dead?

    I did miss-quote. I meant to say people will be loosing more trucks. (Repo's). That's what I meant. I forgot what the number of small trucking company's that went out two years ago because of fuel prices but it was staggering.

    Switching horses

    I ran a class 8 "D" unit for years. I went out of the game for about a year with health issues and came back with a C/V. I am 63 and the cargo van is easier for me and lot less hassle. I cannot compare revenue because I don't stay gone like I used to but I have never gone without. Actually...

    50 cents more for gas and diesel

    It's funny thinking back when Nixon lowered the speed limit to 55. We fought that for 20 yrs and got the limit raised and look what happens. What a calamity. Now we need to drive 55 but if you do look out behind you cause those company drivers will push you to the next stop. Isn't life...

    Countdown to Another Sprinter Killer- Sort Of

    Urea is a blend of Ammonia and Nitrogen and water. It does the same thing as a catalytic converter but updated. Supposed to be designed for the diesel market and not gas. When it is heated in the after exhaust pipe it brings the exhaust up 700 -800 degrees to burn the carbon emissions (CO2)...
