    Arrow truckers

    Nobody has yet to bash the executives at the financial arms of Daimler, Paccar and International for continuing to extend credit and reworking payment schedules for an obviously unhealthy company. If I was an Arrow driver I would hold a going out of business sale before I turned in the truck...

    Straight poop

    I guess I just keyed in on the "Are the miles divied up fairly and equally" part of this thread and immediately thought of the IBT. You might not care to be a Teamster at this time, but did it ever occur to you that the Teamsters not only want you, they need you as a member.

    Straight poop

    I am an O/O leased to Panther: "Are the miles divied up fairly and equally?" NO! Loads generally go to the nearest truck based on pick-up time, delivery time and other customer requests. If you want miles divvied up fairly and equally check out International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT)...

    A Poll you can believe in..?

    No need to read past the second paragraph (reprinted below without permission) to see how the pollsters slanted the survey by somehow tying economic recovery to health care reform. Overall, 82 percent say an overhaul of the nation's health care system is important for recharging the economy...

    Van Parking at TA East in Ontario, California

    Is that TA corporate owned or privately owned? Both the Twin Cities East and West TA's are privately owned and can operate a bit differently than their corporate counterparts. One difference is they do not accept TA gift cards.

    2009 Most Awesome Location

    Being that I not only embrace the mundane, I live it to the fullest. "Awesome" is not in my vocabulary. 3 locations come to mind. Although not awesome, these did register as slightly out of the mundane and I have pictures. -The spring floods in northern North Dakota and southern Manitoba...

    What EVERYONE should know! Broke Down! Now What?

    Good information. One point in Bob's article I disagree with: "Next, contact your carrier. Loaded or empty, they need to be kept in the loop as to the situation." I contacted my current carrier after frying an alternator. I was 65 miles and one country away from the consignee and only 10...

    The Perfect Job

    I sure hope so! Being labeled a curmudgeon is a badge of honor and something I strive to achieve in my advancing years. Now get the hell off my lawn and out of my life.

Both the highest and lowest scores are thrown out. The remaining 10 scores are added together and divided...
