    Battery. Monitor

    Yes. It will cycle on and off automatically at a set temp. Fan-Tastic Vent model is unknown. The unit is not marked. The owner's manual I have is for models 2000RDM, 2000DM, 2000TR and 2000T. It will be one of those but I am unsure which. A Honewell thermostat on the wall is used to set the...

    Gyms and Health Clubs

    Diane and I joined a club last week and used one of the locations for the first time yesterday. As it happened, the freight took us home and we used the gym closest to home. Under load, we have driven past a few locations and see that parking for straight trucks would be easy. When we left our...

    Battery. Monitor

    Diane and I set our generator to come on automatically when battery voltage reaches 11.0 volts. This is a compromise between us. I would prefer to go lower to minimize generator hours. She would prefer higher to leave a perceived margin of safety and make it less likely that the truck will not...

    T1000 maybe 3rd time is the charm

    LOL, That's funny! Not funny is the fact that there would be lots and lots and lots of material for such a song. TVAL is a challenging service offering and many things can go wrong at many levels. I have not kept up with reefers since we purchased ours in 2006 and would be interested to learn...

    What Makes a Good Month?

    AGM? Hybrid? I don't understand either of these terms as they apply to generators. Education please.

    Cost Per Mile of $7.10

    The Mars rover Curiosity just completed a 352-million-mile trip from Earth to Mars at a cost of $2.5 billion. That works out to a cost per mile of about $7.10. With a cost per mile that high, the pay per mile is presumably higher so it was probably a good run. Even if you only cleared a penny...

    What is a Panther Premier Driver?

    I don't think so, but to be honest, I don't even remember the tractor type or color. It was just a truck. It was the sticler that stood out to me. Sighting was this afternoon at Beto Junction, KS, TA.

    What is a Panther Premier Driver?

    Just curious. I saw a Panther E-unit parked today and on the side of the cab was a sign that said "Panther Premier Driver." What does that mean? I would have asked the driver but the cab was buttoned up.

Except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, each person who offers a hazardous material for transportation shall certify that the material is offered for transportation in...

    Combine those shirts with the famous OVM pants and we have the look for Expo 2013!

    Who should you use to send Hazmat?

    Yes it is and it's my own fault. I'm up to my eyeballs in writing projects these days and for a break I come here to write some more. As one of my infantry school TAC officers used to say, "No discipline!" I'll get the blog caught up as time permits and my self-discipline improves.

    Who should you use to send Hazmat?

    I do not agree, but I am not going to argue the point or ask you to defend yours. I'm tired of this.

    Who should you use to send Hazmat?

    I would add: - Emergency response information - Emergency response telephone number - Shipper's certification

    Who should you use to send Hazmat?

    It leaves the distinct impression? Come on, Turtle. Are you even trying to be fair and open minded? I could not have been more clear: If a driver asked me to point out the regs that told him or her when a HAZMAT-endorsed CDL is required and when it is not required, I would not turn to...

    Who should you use to send Hazmat?

    I was not trying to be a smart ***. I answered the question you asked. You asked, what is the minimum information required on the B.O.L.? Shippers have rules to follow in preparing shipping papers and I do not know what they are. I only know what the driver is responsible to check before the...

    Who should you use to send Hazmat?

    Yes. If the vehicle does not require placards, a HAZMAT-endorsed CDL is not required to drive it.

    Who should you use to send Hazmat?

    I do not know since I have never prepared shipping papers in my life and have had no training on how to do it.

    Box for straight truck

    With those dims, it sounds like you have a roll-up door, am I right? If so, you might want to talk to a trailer shop to see if they can redo the back of your box to put swing doors on. I don't know what the cost would be but it may be worth checking out.
