    TA/Petro, Still a pain in the neck! Sticking with Pilot/Flying J

    I agree, and that's why I use the Pilot ... I can not use my ComCard out front .. there are letters in my DL #, and my card requires the complet Dl number, plus the state issued. I just walk inside and ask them to turn on the pump, leave my card. Then go back in and they complete the...

    FedEx Repo.

    To the best of my knowledge, Fedex Ground is all contractors. The door signs on those units could have read CRST/Malone just as easily.

    Pilot vs TA fuel

    My experience with Pilot seems to be different than the rest of you. While still driving the semi, I would fill at a TA or Petro and then go PAY for a shower at Pilot. Today, in the Sprinter, I fuel almost excusively at Pilot and Flying J, and have had zero issues with them. My only...

    This makes no sense .. to me anyway

    Parked near me was a short wheelbase van .... inside was a man, woman and three dogs! There is no way that can be comfortable ... maybe not even sanitary. Now understand I also have a dog .. a small one .... just the two of us. And even then it is hard to sleep .... she demands too much...

    Pilot vs TA fuel

    They both have only a limited source for fuel supply, and most likely use the same tank farm ..... why would there be a difference?

    Americans @ Their Best

    What would have them do, bundle him up and cart him off to the hospital in the backseat of a Prius? They did the correct thing, in three stages ..... first he was removed from under the vehicle, he was pulled on a straight axis, (so as not to increase any spinal injuries), and they left him...

    At home in Dayton ... back in service this morning after a few days in the rv at a state park. And .. btw ... I wouldn't go to Laredo on a dare! Want me in Laredo? It will cost you only $1.50 per mile! :D

    Why we don't regularly park at truck stops!!!

    That is the ONE thing I do not like about Landstar. Their "safety" department is a bit anal! I was with them, the first time, for 11 months and a few weeks, when I had a "fender bender". Was rush hour traffic ... stop and go .. he stopped, I went. They terminated my lease .. (3 months...

    rims of sprinter van

    Check with Midway Conversions, Elkhart. They build some interesting Sprinter conversions, and some of them have custom wheels on them. So thay must have a supplier

    Sprinter auxiliary battery hookup

    Well, I know. Sprinters come with ONE battery, (unless you order it differently), that battery, (main) is under your feet in the drivers compartment. I have a Midway Conversion sleeper unit, THEY installed the additional battery under the hood. It is indeed isolated via an electrical hook...

    A Rude Awakening- A Rant-Pet Peeves

    While NLM is owned by Landstar, it operates completly independent, and always will. I spoke with Landstar about why we can't get a head start on some of this bidding. They responded, and correctly too, if that is done, then the other carriers that use NLM will simpky go away, therby...

    Just Wondering ....... Who do you work for?

    Service your customer, or perhaps cultivate a new one? While with Roberts Express, and having the ONLY temp controlled unit in the fleet .. I came from Jan Jose, Ca to Washington Dc for a paltry sum, (I don't remember exactly how much, cost plus a few pennies as I remember it, Dave Hodge...

    Higher Down Payments

    I have financed my purchases through Freightliner, and Diamler. I paid zero down, (prefering to work on THEIR money and not not mine), with an effective interest rate of less than 10% on each one. Of course I have owner operator experience dating back t0 1985, no one has ever lost one red...

    The Game

    I'm not sure I understand this reasoning. Isn't the "owner" more than a truck rental agency? Seems he must have the contract with the carrier, and not you. He has an investment that must make money also. Why would he not be involved? I'm just asking.
