    New Exctr. rules and F.S.C.

    I know the one time we went to Edmonton, we were given a Minneapolis layover. I cannot remember if that was part of the load acceptance negotiation, or if it was given once we unloaded. Delivered to Havre, MT. once and was given Seattle. Never really taken any other loads into the "boonies", so...

    New Exctr. rules and F.S.C.

    Have friends that took a load to Edmonton. No layover. Should become increasingly difficult for FDCC to cover these loads to "nowhere", as it looks like they'll not going to give a layover on many of them. Just have to figure the deadhead out to a decent area into the original rate. Of...

    Tag axle? Are you looking to build a TVAL truck?

    New Exctr. rules and F.S.C.

    No layover in Toronto last Thursday. Going to have to take the possibility into account when looking at load opps.

    July locations, drama and weather.

    On VACATION! At beautiful Topsail Beach, North Carolina :) Almost the whole family (22 of us!) is here (one niece couldn't get off work.) Rented a house right across the road from the beach for the week. My nephew is stationed at Camp Lejeune, and he is able to spend almost everyday with us...

    Gettysburg, PA: A Great Expediter Tourist Stop

    States rights and slavery, in this case inseparable. Pretty much all to do with slavery. But again, as in most things, the main cause of the war was economic.

    Scanners

    We picked one up in Green while there for TVAL testing this last week. Easy to install. The Clink recognized the scanner immediately. Ran through the calibration in a few seconds. We were ready to scan 5 minutes after opening the box. :) Sent in our first BOL after our delivery Friday...

    Scanners

    Tried our Neat Receipts scanner. No lights, no camera, no action :( Tried it in usb port on the keyboard and the black box. No response in either. We'll be in Green next week for TVAL, so we'll see if there is a solution. If not, will probably see if they have them.

    Understand the upcoming changes to the Hours July 1, 2013

    I know several drivers who don't stop for their entire 11 hours, so it's not totally BS. (They are team drivers, so they can always get lunch "delivered" :p ) I try to stop every 3-4 hours, or I'm so stiff, I can't move! Take a little longer on one of those breaks, and I'll be fine. I think...

    Unbridled Exuberant Arrogance

    Here's a chilling thought for everyone, and especially Layout. Remember how Verizon couldn't explain the increased data usage on your phones? Just makes you wonder who really was "using" all that bandwidth?

    June locations and did you see that flying DR unit?

    Considering my lifetime as a Buckeye, the TA here in Ann Arbor isn't all that bad :eek: Unloaded within feet of the U of M campus this morning. Sure hope we didn't catch anything, lol.

    What City/State/Prov did you pick up your FIRST expedite run? Where did it go?

    Elyria, Oh to New Tecumseth, ON. Canada and if that wasn't enough to worry about, it was also Hazmat :eek: After that, we were ready for about anything, lol. Oh and on our second load (Buffalo, NY to New Castle, PA - also Hazmat and our first refrigerated load) We got to do our first roadside...

    Bordentown to JFK - Best Route(s) for Straight Truck

    Your gps is probably picking up the low clearance posted on 278 near the Brooklyn Bridge. There us a sign there stating all vehicles over 12' 8" (I think) must exit. It's one of those "NY" signs. Not too accurate, as they take into consideration if there was snow or ice on the road. The bridge...

    May location and other nonsense

    Managed to luck out with a load the delivered only 60 miles from the house. Decided to go home for the weekend. (A decision made much easier after getting predishpatched for a load Tuesday) Went golfing with the son, nephew and father-in-law on Saturday. Had a wonderful family cookout...
