Actually Phil I know I will probably catch some flack for this but I think the fuel prices surge will probably in the long run be a plus to those of us who are able to hang on. What has happened the owner operators out here who have driven their own trucks and thought of themselves as "truck...

Actually in some states this is a form of road rage and is not just a minor traffic offense, some troopers will actually ticket you for blinking your brights at an oncoming car as this is also seen as a type of road rage. So one might want to think twice about trying this.

I am wondering if anyone else might see a bit of a problem with the fact that we are handing over seven hundred billion dollars to be dolled out in a manner we as tax payers have no control over, thru an entity called, Office of Financial Stability and that office will be run by a former vice...

The numbers presented by any trucking company are a median average. This means that 50% make more and 50% make less. So here is a little lesson in averages: You have a ten truck fleet just for easy numbers Truck 1. 200,000.00 2. 200,000.00 3. 200,000.00 4. 100,000.00 5. 80,000.00 6...

Actually if you stop at a Flying J you can get a temporary card just means you have two accounts. Not a big deal. I keep two accounts one I keep my maintenance money on and the other is for other expenses while in the truck.

After all the wonderful advice on this subject I will offer mine: Might be you made the tire gods mad or it might just be bad tire Karma.:rolleyes: Just making lite there are so many possibilities. Not much you can do to stop the cupping once it starts. Might try rotating it out of its...

Well now you have done it!!! Next time the price will be $2000 because ”the powers that be" will feel we are all accustomed with the $1200 so now we must move up the price scale.:eek::)

Thanks for the compliment India. On the same lines if you want to keep the seat clean without the expense of seat covers just buy you some inexpensive tee shirts for the backs of the seats and the rugs for the seating area, if they get dirty you can wash them or worst case scenario just...

I don't know about everyone else but usually when I sign on to EO it is just to see what the latest compliant or grip is, who is mad at whom, or who has decided to berate someone. So it is straight to the Forum, but today I was at the Thermo King Dealer in Richfield, OH get my T-val stuff...

Actually it is not possible for all trucks to be exactly equal there are always going to be differences. Just like to cars sitting on a car lot, same make, model and year they may seem the same but there are differences and with FDCC some of those differences might only be a computer error(some...

OK just my two cents. Here is what is happening we are seeing loads that we probably would never have heard of under the old system, the offers would have gone out to one truck at a time. So probably 50% of the loads would never have reached us. If it is an offer or an opportunity I handle it...

I agree with you and it really bugs me when people complain that the company doesn't care about their drivers. I am leased to FDCC and to the best of my knowledge FDCC has NO drivers. I am the only one who cares about my drivers (Bob and I) we are they only drivers in my company and I care...

I know what the Bible says about angels unaware. So with that being said I think the Good Lord also gave us the common sense not to open our doors to someone looking to make money in the middle of the night. My usual response is to just look outside and shake my head. Now if this was someone who...

The Cobra you bought is a great CB, we had on for 5 years, had it tweeked at the 75 Chrome Shop also. When we bought our new truck it came with a Cobra 29 LTD Classic.

I must have more time on my hands. Index finger got tired after 45 different colors. :eek:;)

So have I, but I do know that this how some carriers manage to discriminate against drivers. I don't know what company you were looking at but if you see any of their trucks out and about look at the size of their drivers and see if my idea might hold true. Just an idea.

If you ran 100,000 miles and made $100,000 and your fuel cost was .169 of your revenue in 2001, then in 2002 you ran 120,000 miles and made $100,000 even if the fuel was the same price your fuel cost would be up because you ran 20% more miles. Example: 100,000 miles @ 8MPG =12,500 gallons of...

It is true what you say about government and politicians feeding on our fears. Anytime there is some change they want to implement you will notice "If we let this happen the children and old people will suffer". No matter what the concern is, be it tax cuts, shortages or electing the wrong...

We may never see him again, but how did he manage to crack the code? We have to all start up our death rays and move forward with our master plan to destroy all humans. First we must type and cross match his signal and track his location because he may have actually broken the code and know who...

29 points. But who is that Einstein fellow they keep talking about?
