I am getting lost on this one. If my truck is legal in the state I register it in is not legal somewhere else? How is one going to know all of the states regs? Again, lost on this one. Layoutshooter

We often go out to California and run up and down the coast. We have down pretty darn good out there. We have got a lot of really good long coast to coast runs out of Washington. Layoutshooter

Hey Broom, I don't know who Nemo is, should I? In any case, his idea of how batteries are constructed is missing a bit. Battery plates are made of lead paste, not steel. Thickness in itself does not determine CCA etc. Thicker plates are normally found on marine batteries vx. automotive due the...

They do what they can Witchy, *D* time is a help, would be nice if it were more but they must compete with other carriers. How new are you? Are you enjoying your time? Welcome to the club. Have any problems just bring them up in here. Most likely will be someone to help. Layoutshooter

I see, maybe that is why. Layoutshooter

Dumb question time. When I read posts in here it seems that most people say that the straight trucks are front axle heavy. Mine is. Most trucks come with a 12,000lb front axle. Why not a 14,00lb? Am I missing something? Layoutshooter

Yea, I guess I might. I need to do this slowly. Layoutshooter

Try pulling back the rubber sleeve over the turn signal lever. There is a white plug near there. Pull it out, it's easy, clean out the old burned dielectric grease and put new in. It has held for about 3 weeks for me now. Thanks to Team Caffee for the tip. I understand that there the other end...

RE: FedEx Custom Critical Express Centers Geez, I live in Michigan, near Detroit. Kinda speaks volumes on Michigan politics and taxes. I hate to think I might have to move, but, if things don't change I might. At least I live closer to Toledo than Detroit. Layoutshooter.

FedEx once asked us to go out of service, which we did. We were very tired and tried to play the, *let's stay in service and turn down a bad load* game. We were WAY down the list so we did not expect an offer. AS ALWAYS, we had two load offers minutes apart which we turned down. When asked why...

I am soooo glad to see that we are not the only ones who enjoy the overall competence of our carrier. Any other great stories from other carriers? I bet that FedEx is not the only one with good people. Come one guys, let's hear it, no bashing. Let's give those good people thier due. Bashing...

Are there different laws on this for straight trucks/tractors etc vs. passenger/vans? Are the whiter/blue bulbs legal on bigger trucks. I don't often see them. Layoutshooter

Me too!!! Hope someone knows where that site is. Layoutshooter

Thank you, I think that all sides of this business should be reflected fairly. Carriers will mess up. That should be posted. Helps to keep them honest and others in here learn what to look out for. On the flip side, they should be recognized when they do well. We all like a little thanks when...

This is a thanks to our carrier. Carriers take a lot of bashing in here, sometimes deserved and sometimes not. They should be thanked when they do right. We picked up a load in L.A. on 10-19 heading for Toronto. The paperwork was messed up but we were told to roll and it would be fixed before...

Phil, If the good congressman had a brain he would be in private industry not government. They all need a soap box. That is how they get re-elected. PA, like every other state, needs more money. They ALWAYS need more money. If they were to raise taxes on PA residents they would not be...

We always try to remember to thank the customer for thier business. I makes a very good impression. We somehow missed that there was things, magnets etc, to pass out. A great oversight on our part. You would think that FedEx would push these items when you go there for training etc. A great...

Have not heard that. Would not make a real difference. I seldom get my loads out of the express center I am at or any express center. I just take what comes my why. Deadheading is the norm. No problem with that if the pay is right. I often just stay where ever I unload if I think it is a good...

Well India, These things will never get fixed. There is no incentive for them to fix it. We, as consumers, have let these large companies get away with shoddy workmanship by not insiting that they fix the problems. Most people, myself included, accept what we are told by them. It is out of...

Would a bad team of ducks in a truck be a team that is not it's all *quacked up* to be? layoutshooter
