Then how can you sign for and accept any shipment, hazmat or not?

I believe President Lincoln was on the taxpayer's dime the night of April 14th, 1865 while attending a play at Ford's Theater. Well, maybe he was there on a freebie. Today, Ford's Theater is a National Historic Site administered by the National Park Service. We, the taxpayers are still paying...

That could be. Water is cheaper than helium or some other gas.

I got a bloody ear debating the definition of hazardous material with Turtle on the phone some time ago. I enjoyed sitting back and reading this debate between ATeam and Turtle. I have a question for both of them; I am a shipper, shipping one 450# drum of flammable paint, what is the minimum...

Are you pulling it on a standard container chassis? Air ride on the chassis? Why the water connection, is there a toilet and shower in there for the IT geek?

"Hoser" is a term of endearment I extend to my Canadian friends. I call OVM, ScottM and Piper, all Hoser. Since Piper deserted us, I replaced the "H" in Hoser with a capital "L" when referring to him.

Hazmat, if you are considering ramps to get dock high for your new rig, I would caution against it. I rarely encounter a situation where I can't load or unload freight because I am not dock. When this does happen, if at the shipper, I get dry run pay and they send a dock high truck. At the...

I know of one carrier that can complicate the simple. This carrier demands a scale ticket, which I find not only reasonable, but the proper and legal thing to do. The complications arise when dispatch ignores the scale ticket and offers a load that exceeds one's legal weight. Once at the...

Throttle back on the coffee and cola, both contain caffeine, which is a diuretic. Increase your water intake. I've got a large canister of Gatorade powder from Costco. I fill one of those squeeze mustard bottles with the powder and use that to add the Gatorade to a bottle of water. I'm as...

I use WD-40.

Panther is currently paying me .17/mile deadhead, all miles, but no window AC or generator, so I guess its a wash.

As does the IRS.

Excellent advice!

Old McDonald (the guy that had a farm) and his neighbor, Mr. Douglas (Green Acres) both raised chickens for Chick-Fil-A. In order to save on transportation costs for shipping their chickens, they combined their chickens prior to slaughter and used one truck for their weekly shipment to...

Re: Tolls Look at your settlement sheet.

The exclusion of a simple consonant kinda changes the intended meaning of this sentence. It has me wondering who will determine robustness? It has also triggered a mental recall of a Woody Allen movie. It isn't fair that women and eunuchs are being excluded. I think I'll drown my sorrows...

Who owns the Cruiseliner in the antique trucks video?

Re: Tolls My carrier says they will reimburse me for tolls. Most times I have to ask, but sometimes it is offered as an incentive to take a load. Kinda like being offered the coveted first out. I have on occasion submitted the toll receipts and jumped through the proper procedural hoops...

"Flying that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones you better watch your speed. Trouble ahead, trouble behind, And you know that notion just crossed my mind."

If you are interested in local expedited freight or courier stuff, you will have to give us some more info about yourself and where you live or where you would like to do the local stuff. Most expediters here do the OTR thing. There are some that do local work mostly in major metropolitan...
