    Ever feel like a target?

    Cheri, The phone numbers on your door should be individual decals. A little patience, a finger nail and some Goo Gone should end the calls. Only someone with a legitimate complaint would bother to look up the company number and call. Yeah, I got called on once by a trucker who was talking...

    WELCOME TO THE SOAPBOX FORUM

    Walter Mondale (Jimmy Carter's V.P) said that the U.S. should have launched a pre-emptive strike against North Korea prior to their missle test. WOW!

    Backing into Docks

    When I worked LTL I often picked up at major hair care products plant. They had about 10 shipping docks inside the building. On occasion I would be dispatched with a set of doubles. Upon arrival I would break the set and spot each trailer in a dock. Usually side by side. One day after the lead...

    Permits

    Cheri, Is this the same safety department that sent me IFTA decals? When I called and questioned this I was told if they sent it, I need it. So I put the decals on and two days later got a QC message that it was a mistake and to return the decals.

    Rising Fuel Prices

    In a current Truck Topics article Michelle Potter, President of Con-Way Expedite says: "The cargo van business is still 30%-40% of what we do every day." This of course doesn't mean that cargo vans are hauling these loads. Just that 30-40% are A or B loads.

    2992 registered users.....Where is everybody?

    Im not sure about Jevic, but I believe many carriers are using the word "expedite" as a sales pitch. CRST has trailers that say "expedite van division". I don't consider this to be true expediting, at least not the exclusive use, straight through door to door service. I think we will see more...

    Cool sound file- old detroit diesels

    Nothing quite like the sound of an old Detroit. I think they still make the 2 cycles for marine and off road use. The only Detriot I ever ran was in a Brazilain made Ford cabover straight truck. I believe that one ran up to 3000 or 3200 r.p.m. Not near as much fun as the bigger ones with a...

    Phil's truck

    Nice truck Ateam. I have wondered why you have waited so long to purchase your own truck. After reading the article I see why. A year to build this truck and the delay and cancelation of the original order. I guess that set you back at least 1 1/2 years. Maybe over the next couple of...

    What kind of forums do you want?

    Greg, When my daughter moved home after college her bunny accompanied her. His name is Bucky. He is a soft and fuzzy Holland Lop. If you are interested I will throw in his cage and a Crock Pot.
