Kim, please convey my apologies to Bob. All this time I thought he was a St. Bernard. Now that I look at your avatar more closely, yep, Bob is a bull dog. Sorry Bob.

Hey Dave, where have you been hiding?

I've got no problem with McDonalds, it just doesn't meat my definition of a restaurant. Pun intended.

Fast, is that a 2500?

ARF! Because it needed to be said!

I agree. Best hard luck but still kickin' trucking song ever! I also like Tom Waits' version of Red Sovine's "Big Joe and Phamtom 309". It's not nice to mess with classics but Tom Waits puts some grit and emotion into the song. Cheri, your lyrics sum it for expediters. Now you've got to put...

My 1998 Chev had the fuel filter right where it is supposed to be, in the fuel line along the frame rail. Easy to replace except for the dribble of gasoline down my arm. The cost of a filter was about $10 and I would replace it twice a year. My Chev 04 has the fuel filter as part of the fuel...

Don't count on it. Loss of federal aid should insure that states toe the line.

Friday night I ran into Canada for a load. Pick up time was tight because dispatch took 45 minutes jacking me around. I am not anticipating any problems crossing into Canada empty. I get to the border, clear shot. Wrong! It's my lucky day. I have been chosen at random to back up to door 4...

I accepted a load January 3 to Troy, MI. It was offered with a .24 f.s.c. The only reason I accepted the load was because of the f.s.c. knowing I would have to deadhead to Chicago to get a load. When I P .O.D.'d out I was #38. So off to Chicago I went. When settlement time came I was paid...

happy birthday dreamer!

You also want to check out Adohen Supply: Fantastic Vent RV Vent Fan  Adohen Supply for a Fantastic Fan. A Fantasic Fan mounted on the roof of your sleeper and run in exhaust mode will pull fresh air (depending on where you park) through the window screens, cab, sleeper and out the roof vent.

I agree! Even when times were good I couldn't understand why someone would drive a van for an owner. Unless it was short term to get a feel for the industry.

Here's a link: Breezeway

I have a set of Breezeway truck window screens. Breezeway makes several styles for different makes of trucks. The back of the box lists the truck make and model the screens will fit. I bought mine at the Petro in Oak Grove, MO. Most larger truck stops should stock them. The ones I use for...

I'm confused by Fastrod and OVM's use of the term "exclusive use". Are you talking one customer's freight and only one customer's freight on one truck? If a carrier is selling expedite as exclusive use of a truck and is charging exclusive use in their tariffs but puts other freight onboard...

That was wild. I have never seen a screw drive snow machine like that before, except in science fiction movies. Wonder why it didn't catch on in it's day? Mike, you said you had been listening to too much talk radio. I think you have way too much time to surf the net. Things must be slow...

Since that heavily read post was removed last night me and FireFox have been zipping right along! Save bandwidth, kill a thread!

I'm in a van and have never had a problem at a WalMart. I park on the outer edges of the lot. I make a point of purchasing something from the store. Oil and filter for the next oil change, toothpaste, something for home, anything so I can honestly say I am a customer if I should be...

In the days before deregulation "trip leasing" was a common practice. I worked for a small carrier with limited authority. I would often trip lease with another carrier to get a load back. The trip leasing process involved physically going to a broker or agent to handle the paperwork. The...
