    fedex o/o want to be paid as employees

    Yes, it could really shake things up, but where actions like this have been brought before, it has not. Various courts have made rulings on this in local cases in years past. I'm not sure how the cases played out in the long run but it is clear that they have not shaken things up much, if at all.

    So, just so I understand, with this purchase, you are making the transition from fleet driver to owner-operator, correct?

    Route & Restricted Bridges

    Like Rich said, dispatch is the one to call. That is plan A. Plan B could be to check HAZMAT routing with CoPilot Truck mapping software, but that information is general in nature. As you know, some types of HAZMAT are permitted on bridges or in tunnels where others are prohibited. CoPilot Truck...

    Tennesseahawk, A while ago, you mentioned a blown engine in one of your posts. Perhaps I got it all wrong, but your post came across as humor instead of something more serious. When I read it, I did not believe your engine blew. I thought you were kidding. Now, you are talking about a new...

    Tire Depth Guage

    Flag down the Snap-On man next time you see one. Otherwise, try an auto parts store.

    Norfolk/Hampton Roads, VA Bch VA.

    If you own a Rand McNally Motor Carriers' Road Atlas, use it to identify truck routes in the area. If you do not own one, buy one. They are on sale cheap at truck stops now as next year's version is not far off. If you specify your pickup and delivery locations (or close so you do not reveal...

    box to frame

    I once asked the same question of a truck body manufacturer's president of sales and the company's regional sales manager. They did not have a spec upon which they relied. Not liking their answer and remaining curious, I started looking under every straight truck I saw. The number of U-bolts...

    Well that didn't take long

    No one should feel bad or be surprised because the Super Truck is now on the used truck market and listed at $55,000. Keep its purpose in mind. The truck was designed first and foremost to promote interest in the Expedite Expo, ExpeditersOnline and its sponsors, especially Speedco and the Chrome...

    Idleaire reservations?

    As some drivers predicted when Idleaire first came out, Idleaire is not becoming the profitable venture its backers envisioned. The company has enough cash to keep it going for a while, but the language of its 1Q, 2007 quarterly report brings the writing on the wall into focus. "Management...

    Sleeper floor

    When our house-sitter's cats messed up our carpet, we used a product called Atmosklear with good results. One application and the cat urine odor disappeared, for good. The stuff is not cheap but it works exactly as advertised. If you are correct about fluffy's piddle party, you might think about...

    Best Tire Gauge

    Nothing special used here; dial gauge purchased at a truck stop. I chose dial because it is easy to read without my reading glasses. Have checked it against gauges used in tire shops. It has been giving accurate readings for four years.
