    YRC Closes another Terminal

    That's how seniority works. Senior dock workers were most likely given the option to obtain a CDL or get laid off.

    YRC Closes another Terminal

    That appears to be a skeptical "ok". There could be a nugget of truth in that line of corporate speak. The merger of Yellow and Roadway created some duplication. Speaking of near-dead and dead LTL carriers; who is in CF's old Richfield terminal?

    Bad brake job, have some Q's..

    The other problem with self-adjusters is the little shaft and star wheel can be installed wrong. Every time you hit the brakes, the shoes will ratchet out and stay in contact with the drum. Please don't ask how I know this. If the mechanic screwed up he should make it right.

    Does any one else have a side income?

    I have started a handyman service. Instead of wasting time and money sitting at truck stops I visit near by neighborhoods looking for odd jobs. I do minor home repair and yard work. I now travel with 2 step ladders, lawn mower, 2 rakes, miter saw, various hand tools and safety glasses...

    Healthcare reform bill passed

    I was too preoccupied with the Fort Hood massacre events to even notice or care about the health care reform bill. I mean like people like died or were like killed in Texas. How totally selfish to be concerned with some bill about health care when there are dead people on the news. Major...

    Saying Good Bye to Trucking

    Arlene, Tude once commented to me in a P.M. "that Jim and Arlene are good people" and that you are a nice lady. Mikey doesn't say that about just anybody. I believe him. You and I have never met, but my condolences and prayers are with you.

    My truck was abandoned

    Report this to the FBI. If your truck was involved in interstate commerce, I believe this would fall under their jurisdiction. Also a letter to former President Clinton may help. He has a direct line to Tyson.

    Do you remember when

    I remember thinking: Did I take my Ginko Biloba this morning? I can't recall so I assume I didn't. Now I can't remember where I keep it. I do remember collecting S & H and Gold Bond stamps from fuel purchases and redeeming them for valuable gifts. I also remember the number 73,280, but it's...

    Straight Party Voting

    How to tell if it's a two way mirro

    Monday morning I stopped at the EB I-94 rest area at Menomonie. The mirrors (leaks) over the built-in shelf directly behind the sinks have been removed. No more glimpse into infinity. So sad. I did take a leak and no I didn't steal a mirror.

    vans... winter tires???

    I have not run snow tires on a vehicle since radial tires became popular in this country. I have been running Firestone Transforce M/S tires on my 2004 Chevrolet since day one. I talked to another Panther driver a few weeks ago and he carries a set of tire cables that are similar to chains...
