RE: Don't try and go into business RE: Training a Well, I feel better now, lol - I posted that you should forget it, because he seemed to think it was a road trip, not work, & one hour later, you posted that he had cleaned up his act - boy, did I feel stupid! x( It woudn't have mattered if...

:) COOL! :) Lawrence: I drove past the Roberts Center last week - wow! Nice place ya got there! :)

Keep your log current! (It helps if it's also neat) because that's usually the first thing they want to see - if it looks questionable, they'll look harder at everything else. All paperwork, such as permits, & personal documentation, like the long form medical certificate, accessible. Shipping...

I used to have a list posted of the "canned" Qualcomm messages, taped to the headliner for quick reference, but now, having learned them, I've switched to a list of units, numbers, and usernames, so I will maybe recognize someone when I do see them - and I put the EO bumpersticker on my back...

Hi Jack_Berry: Linda is correct - driving team is just like being married, there's no "one way", you work out an arrangement that pleases you both. You said that your wife goes off & on her job, but how does she feel about driving a big truck? If it's something she wants to do, then she won't...

TJ - it IS 'jet lag', (aka situational disorientation)! The rhythm of the road is quite different from life at home, and we need a bit of time (some more than others, cause we're all like snowflakes - the same, but different) to adjust to the differences. Jet lag is more than being in a...

RE: Don't try and go into business RE: Training a Dieselphreak: you have seen that he isn't interested in learning what a codriver needs to know, and you don't particularly need a codriver, so save the friendship, if you want - but don't make yourself crazy trying to turn a pig's ear into a...

I understand that Customs has the right to tear your vehicle apart if they wish, and it's never a good idea to be anything other than politely honest with them,but the original question was about whether the driver kept guns in his home, not his truck. I don't see the relevance to the question...

A recent National Science Foundation study found a correlation between the size of the balls in recreational activities, and the income of the recreants (if that's the word I want) Unemployed or incarcerated people prefer basketball. Maintenance level people enjoy bowling. Front line employees...

Uh, Moot - you already described the cheese, & it might be more power than even this situation calls for, lol. :+

Thanks, Terry - I'm hoping to take my 16 yr old daughter to New York City this summer, that's a great help. :)

RE: Not sure if this is the right question here, b The things you expect to haul, and the vehicle to haul them with, would be considered hotshot hauling, which is not the same as expediting. This site will tell you everything about expediting, and hotshothauling.com will tell you all about...

I used to enjoy taking Adult Ed classes on whatever subject interested me, but that's not possible anymore - they expect you to be home on Tues & Thurs evenings, lol. Now, I read Landline, & Expedite, & am planning to sign up for the seminars sponsored by EO, and I read whatever I can find, and...

RE: Ok what do you think will work to lower gas pr I haven't any suggestions on what to do about the price of oil - as Grogg said, if tax breaks are eliminated, they'll just be raised somewhere else. The corpolitical (that's a word I just created, because what's good for corporate is good for...

Funny how these threads wander away from the original thread, isn't it? I have zero experience with dispatch at FedEx, but common sense says that even when dispatchers actually have time to pick & choose among available vehicles, doing so would not be allowed. It could form the basis of...

Lou - (forgive me if I've asked this before) where do you find the time to find all this great stuff?! I won't comment on my sex life, but it sure had me pegged up until that one! This stuff is scary but I like it! :P

I keep the volume turned down to the lowest setting on the QC, because it's usually quiet in my van, & even when I'm expecting it - like when I've sent an empty call, the computer first sends me a layover, then a minute later it will send a message telling me to stand by for layover...

Reading that made my brain feel like scrambled eggs! :7

>Not sure what you mean by "sockets" Sockets are brass (?) fixtures, they look like backwards bookends, fit into the Etrack, & hold a board between them. You can use a 2x4, but I like the 2x6, or 2x8 - it works better than straps, I think. I also got a couple rings that snap into the Etrack...

RE: Drugs and a Truckers responsibility to be avai Of course Ted is proud of his son - after all, the younger Kennedy hasn't killed anyone. Yet. Not that that would cause him to quit "representing" the people....
