Truckergirl, a belated welcome to E.O. Yea there are some angry people out here. If you read through these forums you should be able discern who is giving valuable information and who has an axe to grind. Most of the members are willing to help others and offer to share their knowledge of...

Happy Birthday to the moderator of this forum that uses 1122 as part of their screen name. 11-22-??

I hope you guys don't get called in for a random drug screen tomorrow.

Broom, do you use a fuel additive with a lubricating agent every time you fuel. I haven't even seen a diesel engine in 10 years but I hear that this reformulated fuel is hard on injectors and pumps.

If you are the only truck available and the company committed to the customer, then anything is negotiable. You should be able to reach a mutual agreement on rates and any extras. If you are way out of line the dispatcher will cut a deal with an outside carrier. You have to find the balance...

The case of Nibblets also burned.

You say freight is down. Exactly my point. Would this not drastically effect the stock price of a company with a narrow market focus. Who would invest in a company like this? It's not like expedite freight is a cure for cancer. Like any industry the transportation market is volatile. A...

At the end of the day when I check my "box score" the only numbers of significance to me are ON TIME% and Safety%. For me both are 100% TOOT,TOOT! I provide safe dependable service. Isn't that what it is all about? As for the Big Stick they call refusal%: 11:00 p.m. Thursday night while at...

I would think that such a narrowly focused transportation company's stock would be a tough sell. Competing on Wall Street with such diverse transportation concerns as FedEx, Con-Way, U.P.S. etc. must be difficult to say the least. A down turn in the expedite market would certainly have a...

I do a combination of water in the sink and refrigerator defrosting. If I'm home Monday then I'll buy a fresh bird. We certainly don't need a visit from Sal.

Hey Bernie if you are still around forget the celery and get some postage stamps. I'm sure you could find a skinny chick overseas. If China doesn't pan out try Rowanda. Lots of skinny chicks there. Plus those skinny ones require less postage. Good luck Dude!

Wednesday is diffinately going to be a busy day for travel. I believe it is considered the heaviest day for air travel. For sure the highways will be busy. Add the chances for freezing rain and snow with conjested highways and it is a dangerous mix. Please be careful. Everyone on the road...

Silverdollar, if you have been trucking since 1958 then you are excused from using the "I" in denoting an interstate highway. Consider yourself grandfathered in. All others must conform to the suggestion listed above in this thread. In 1958 the ink was barely dry on the bill Ike signed to...

Some truckload carriers tout paperless logs in their recruiting ads. Declaring how much easier it is for the driver. And for safety departments it must be great. Everything is handled electronically. No envelopes to open, no logs to sort and scan. Eventually all trucks will be forced to run...

I believe Bolt is a non-union outfit.

Sorry, thought you were a Mitch Hedberg fan.

A screen name is an alais. Mike Ward; alias Mrgoodtude. Are you referring to people that register on E.O. with false names? Highway Star, now that Mitch is gone who will search for the DuFranes?

I would like to thank and congratulate Bob Worthington on his election to the Panther Driver Council. Bob will be representing the single van drivers. I met Bob once and he is very knowledgeable of the expedite industry. He has been with Panther for 5 years and prior to that with Roberts...

I heard a guy on the c.b. (so it must be true) say that he carried a U.S. Coast Guard approved flare gun. He claimed this was legal as long as it was transported in its case. Apparently this flare gun looks like a short barrel shot gun and uses 12 gauge size shells. I'm not sure what this...
