I think it is more true that the drivers who make more money may also be willing to wear a tie on occasion or as a matter of course. I doubt that the top producers who wear ties would see their sales and customer service skills disappear or their revenue decline if they stopped wearing ties...

The Washington Post reports that pilot rest rules are under review by the DOT and FAA (story here). This debate and the truck driver hours of service (HOS) debate are similar. To me, the most frustrating part of these HOS debates is the assumption that a "science based" rule can be created at...

I hear that!

It's not a tie the polo shirt people would have you wear but a leash.

Dispatched for a Monday pick up. Spending weekend at the Pechanga RV Resort and Casino in Temecula, CA.

Have you a photo to share? Dakata's hot tub comment got me to thinking.

Laid over in Temecula, California. In service, waiting for load offers.

I was hoping people would post good alternatives. Thank you, redytrk, for the non-ap site.

Are you missing the Sirius XM Weather and Emergency Channel like Diane and I are? It seems to have been discontinued without explaination. This is a significant loss for Diane and me. We travel all over the country to places at random on short notice. We have friends that do the same. We...

But owners such as them are not ashamed and that is how they are able to successfully prey on drivers again and again. Honest drivers become prey when they allow themselves to believe that the owner is as honest and well-intentioned as them. Drivers get into these situations by counting more...

Alaska. It would be the 49th state we drove in and we'd stay a week or more to vacation there. The next choice, for the same reasons would be Hawaii. It is unlikely but there are rare cases where FedEx has put a straight truck on a plane and flown the load to a non-North America location. We...

Not yelling, just asking; if you could care less, why do anything at all?

It is the former; wishful thinking clouds good judgment. You can spot it almost every day at truck stop lunch counters. One disgruntled driver will turn to another and ask "How is it at (carrier name)?" Or how is (flatbedding, expediting, car hauling, whatever) working for you? If the answer...

In a recent post, an Open Forum member urged members to "...get back to what this site is really all about!" It occured to me that members do not have a unified view of what this site really is all about, and that it might be instructive to hear what members think EO really is all about. So...

If you asked 100 members what this site is really all about, I think you would get a number of answers. Lawrence's answer would be the on of greatest interest to me. I'd also be interested to learn what you think this site is really all about. Actually, don't answer that here. I'll start a new...

Your analogy is more refined than mine. I would like to see a "gated" locations thread or forum, as an experiment at least if not as a permanent EO feature.

Diane and I purchased our truck new in 2006 and have not needed to replace the pipes yet. We did however just replace the muffler. truckpipes, I believe you will find my my September 1 and September 2 blog entries to be of interest. It describes the circumstances and details of the decision...

Perrysville Ohio TA for fuel, showers and breakfast. Then moving out of the area toward a pick up.

If someone in our free country (such as it is these days) wants to buy up a bunch of land, develop a gated community, and then require the residents who buy into the community to abide by the rules established therein, the developer has every right to do so, every right to expect the rules to be...

Diane and I are at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Layoutshooter. I'll keep him busy while you post count contestents use this opportunity to surge ahead. Go! Go! Go!
