I'll probably be giving out wheelchocks again this year.

I like this definition. Since I get paid dh to the shipper, which usually just about covers the price of fuel, no longer consider this as dh miles. For me deadhead involves going home or relocating on my own to another area.

Did you recently buy this truck?

DOT placarding requirements for motor vehicles carrying hazardous materials are found in 49 CFR 172, Subpart F. Under paragraph 172.506(a) of Subpart F, “Each person offering a motor carrier a hazardous material for transportation by highway shall provide to the motor carrier the required...

Agreed, back to the OP's question. Yes it is a personal subject. Many people don't feel comfortable posting their income but it goes beyond that. Asking for an O/O's net income after all expenses and taxes is so personal that it is a worthless figure to use for comparisons. A thousand...

How long have you been in this business? Why haven't you answered the original poster's question and revealed your yearly net income?

The War Of 1812 comes to mind. That was a war against Britain, with Canada being an ally. Now when we war with Canada it is usually on a sheet of ice. Let us befriend Iran and then kick their butt on a sheet of ice. Curling anyone? Brooms, Brooms, rocks and jocks, Ahmadinejad sucks...

I would choose the filling station that offered full service, performed by bikini clad female attendants, and gave away a 16 oz. Lucite™ tumbler with the daisy design with each fill up.

The Lions record may also have something to do with poor attendance. 2010 6-10 2009 2-14 2008 0-16 2007 7-9 2006 3-13 2005 5-11 2004 6-10 2003 5-11 2002 3-13 2001 2-14

Plus the picture searches are great fun. I also like the Timbertoes. I plan on getting my granddaughter a subscription for Christmas even though she is only 5 months old. Hope she shares with me. This will save me the embarrassment of reading Highlights at the dentist office.

Yeah, Commodore! Commodore Berg. Sounds more continental.

Major Berg doesn't sound very nautical. Would not Lieutenant Commander Berg be more appropriate?

That was me that got it wrong. I brought up the MK-ULTRA project. Sorry, I thought you once worked for the CIA. I have problems with acronyms.

From the title: DRIVER EXPECTIONS FOR CONTRACTING.... to the last line: DON'T MAKE THE COMPANY OR YOURSELF LOOK LIKE A FOOL; the whole thing reads like it was composed by a couple of 3rd graders. I won't debate the leniency of the rules but they seem to contain some contradictions. If I...

As a common courtesy I always turn my headlights off when approaching a manned toll booth or guard shack. Also when driving through a dock area where trucks are backing up. The guy Paul encounter sounds like a jerk that was trying to make something out of nothing.

Paul, what year and make van do you have?

I always thought that was an urban myth. Guess I was wrong. Since you brought up LSD, didn't you work for a "company" that was involved in something called the MK-ULTRA project?

I have never driven a truck with a lift axle but I would think that dropping a lift axle in slippery conditions would be taking weight off the drives, exactly where I would want the weight. When I first joined E.O. another member mentioned doing this. At the time I did not comment. What am I...

I believe you share more than a sense of humor. Did the two of you write this together or did you have a third party help? http://hhdexpedited.com/DriverExpectations.pdf
