    Sarah Palin speech n Nashville tn

    I like Sara Palin, but I have to agree with Turtle here. I listened to the speech, and it was the same ole same ole. She can motivate, because she speaks like a normal person, but I don't think she'll have a snowballs chance in hades of getting to the white house.

    We will travel as long as we can safely travel. We've made many runs at a snails pace, but we've made it safely

    Fax from in the truck

    We used E-Fax until I discovered MyFax was cheaper and used just your email.

    Fax from in the truck

    We don't have a fax machine, we have a scanner that will scan to PDF format, and a printer. What I do, if I receive a fax through MyFax, I just print it with my printer. If I need to fax something to someone, I scan it, save to PDF file and attach it to an email. The email would be addressed...

    Idleaire closes

    From Landline http://www.landlinemag.com/todays_news/Daily/2010/Jan10/012510/012910-01.htm Many drivers with IdleAire accounts have expressed concern about whether they will receive refunds from the company. One OOIDA member told Land Line he just renewed his subscription a week ago. At that...

    Idleaire closes

    It seemed to me that Idleair came out when fuel was just starting to really rise and it was expensive! The company we drove for wouldn't pay for it because burning the fuel was cheaper. The structures made for less parking in quite of few of the TA's and I wonder if they'll be removed now...

    Explosives on Tappan Zee

    Yes, it is a good reference, but it doesn't give info for all the roads in the area, just the bridges that go into the city. That was the problem to begin with, we couldn't find the information we needed and the phone calls produced nothing. UPDATE: We were able to use I87 to I287 then we...

    Explosives on Tappan Zee

    Ok, we are taking the Newburgh Beacon Bridge. Jaminjim is correct, which is why we were so concerned with finding out.

    Explosives on Tappan Zee

    Unfortunately, Panther isn't very good on routing. We've gotten "Explosive Routing" in the past that take us on truck restricted routes. We don't usually trust them. We'll see what they come up with when we pick this up in a few minutes. I know we'd need an escort and have to call to cross the...

    Explosives on Tappan Zee

    Thank you very much for the information. Do you know of any other explosive restrictions for the NY/NJ area, or can you point me in the direction of finding out?

    Explosives on Tappan Zee

    We've not hauled explosives in this area before, is 1.2D allowed on the Tappan Zee? I've searched the web, looked at the atlas, we've called State Police, and they gave us a number for someplace in the Bronx and no one has an answer. Help

    Is it the ECONOMY? Or are we to blame for the low rates?

    Those may be your numbers for "cheap" but my numbers for "cheap" are higher than that. So in that case you are hauling the "cheap" freight and not being a "team player". We are all different, and have different needs. If you want a set rate, then you need to be a company driver, they get .xx...

    Is it the ECONOMY? Or are we to blame for the low rates?

    That isn't what she's saying at all! Does any other business look at another business and say, because they charge x.xx I'm not going to charge less than that? We are in business to make money, those that run at a loss will not stay in business long.

    Is it the ECONOMY? Or are we to blame for the low rates?

    Each truck out here should know what it takes to run their business. If truck A can run a load with a profit but truck B can not, is that truck A's problem? Competition is a good thing, and makes businessmen think outside the box or go under. We have quite a few of those businessmen on this...
