    i need a witness to prove i am not a liar

    RE: i will explain it one time more ok wombat52, Thank you for the clarification. May I ask for a bit more? I now understand that the truck went over on its side. You said the load shifted and that the load was secured. Obviously, both could not happen at the same time, so I presume that you...

    i need a witness to prove i am not a liar

    In a fleet owner's truck, Diane and I were once involved in a minor accident where a big rig, making an illegal right turn from a left-turn-only lane, clipped the left rear corner of the truck we were in, and caused a couple thousand dollars damage to the door hinges and frame. A Werner driver...

    Convert Dry Box to Reefer Unit

    If you feel duty-bound to assist new forum members, that can best be done by providing specific links to the information they are asking about. Simply saying "read ATeam's posts" dooms the reader to hundreds of pages of information that do not relate to the questions the reader is asking. In...

    Convert Dry Box to Reefer Unit

    Firegears, I would not mind if you toned down your recent "read ATeam's posts" emphasis. If someone is going to search a subject, it is best that he or she see all posts that address it.

    Looking for advice

    Speaking as someone that has team-driven fleet owner trucks, I would be reluctant to seek a position with a fleet owner that does not have expediting experience. Drivers need support from their truck owners; sometimes at all hours of the night, sometimes at locations a thousand miles from you...

    hi from the Terrys

    Welcome to the fray. You picked a good fleet owner in Tim Hopkins, one of the best in my view. You will find a lot of expediters are happy to help out on the road. Don't be afraid to ask. Nice to hear about the assist from Panther. We are at the same time, competitors and colleagues.

    US Customs Raises Rates

    RE: RE%3A US Customs Raises Rates Having crossed the Canada/U.S. border several times, laden and unladen both ways, and at various crossing locations, we have never once had a problem with a U.S. or Canadian officer. We believe that is due to our professionalism and preparation as we approch...

    Joining the Expediting Industry....

    That's a GREAT outcome! Congratulations. It is also a case of EO information sharing and good expediting community members at their best. I hope the marginal and subpar fleet owners read this thread and learn what is expected of them.

    Hey, your back door is open...

    Well, since you are putting the focus on our truck door, I should add that roll-up doors with thicker insulation are available. We chose against that because they require a heavier-duty roller track system than we wanted to put in our truck. It's all about trade-offs when you spec a truck. I...

    Rigmaster owners...

    Our generator's starting power comes from the truck batteries. If the truck batteries are too low, the generator will not start. On applications where the sleeper has its own battery bank, what you say is true about starting the truck off the generator. It is not true on our truck. That is a...

    update

    Arkjarhead, RichM's comments about the usefulness of certain topics make a good point, as do your own about English. Higher education is not just about what you use later in life. It is also about how you think. The natural sciences, math, and such are about what you use. The liberal arts...

    Driving solo for an owner ...

    That leaves you with DaveKC, Firegears. Diane and I are not in the fleet owner business. We prefer the simpler, one-truck life. Thanks for the compliment, though.
