    Mini's and 1st outs

    I had almost the exact same scenario Leo described last week also on the Charlotte board except I am in a sprinter so on the van board. I was 2nd out mid morning Thursday and ended up 5th out Friday morning. This is supposedly on a decent board. People under me did disappear from the board on...

    The only advantage I can see when compared to a sprinter is maintenance costs. You still have a van drivers area although taller in the CM does not have near the room of a sprinter. It still will not touch a sprinter in fuel mileage. Others might see some things but I am not sure what would make...

    A "Gangster" Government.....

    Downsizing the boards???

    All that I really care is that they are honest and upfront in how they are going to dispatch so all have an equal chance at loads. The first outs do not seem to work with the newer larger boards.

    Downsizing the boards???

    Here's another example to add showing how things are working right now. I started the day yesterday 3rd out on the Charlotte board supposed to be 9 loads a day. Moved to second then back to 3rd because of a first out. Did not see anyone above me move off the board but did see a couple below...

    Sleeping arangements

    I was sitting at a TA in Indiana a couple weeks ago. This guy showed me the back of his van, he had installed an electric fireplace for his wife. He had a generator and they used it for heat in the winter.

    Virtual Truck Stops

    You see the case of over thinking so often when programs are designed by office people and techs with no real world input. It happens in all industries not just ours. What might sound like a great idea to some people sitting around a table just is not usually the case in practice. I still do...

    Are speed cameras better than speed limiters?

    One is re-active the other is pro-active. I am not really sure the two are similar enough in what they do to compare. Speed cameras are location specific and limiters are not.

    Never buying GM product again

    My guess is there are a lot of people who are Chevy fans who will always by Chevy liberal or not. I know Chevy pickup drivers that will stop buying them when pried from their cold dead hands. I do not think one will be able to judge a persons politcal leaning by the vehicle they drive.
