Right you is. Like the guy with orthopedic shoes..........standing corrected. Must have been his 'like' of one of my comments that made me think in that vein.

I think this whole thing would be hilarious, if it weren't so tragic or potentially business-damaging or ruining. The thing that I find most laughable is that Haslam acts as if he's new to all of this knowledge, and is being a good corporate citizen by cleaning up the bad apples in his outfit...

That's funny right there.

Doesn't help your scenario, but part of the DVA system picks and chooses based on the "forecast value of the truck". I'd wager that your truck is much more valuable to FedEx hauling temperature-controlled freight than dry box freight. Got passed up by a solo in south Texas once upon a time...

Oh, and one other odd-looking dog we found in Canada:

Someone say dogs? Here's Sammi, the FedEx dog, sporting her colors. Pay no attention to the, um, roll of fat over the top of her vest. She's a tad sensitive about her weight. Another of Sammi, after a particularly rough run, getting rewarded in Canada with some TimBits: Yet another...

Sweet! Now get your butt out here.

I'm going to have to do some digging. It came across the Clink as a fleet message, and again in a fleet bulletin, with the form being posted on the extranet.

To answer your question, no. I asked this after recently going through an IRP audit. These are the only place anywhere that an odometer reading was recorded. I was also told that they also sufficed for Canada. The old blue stickers we put on logs for Canada had a spot for odometer readings...

The other responders are either WG or WG/TVAL. We're neither. That being said, we're a team, and have a lift gate. That plus our security clearance have done well for us. I keep preaching to surface truck folks the need for more qualifications. The more you have, the better you'll be. Just a...

I'm with Dave. Been pretty steady for at least the last 8 weeks.

Yes....it's right behind. ;)

Okay. Connecticut.

Several states have prohibitions for commercial vehicles driving in the center lane. While I agree, it's usually more convenient, it's illegal in those states. One such situation comes to mind: The start of Highway 3, or Huron Church Road, as soon as you exit the CBS plaza entering Windsor...

Roaddog beat me to it. Not assuming whether or not you're a 'gearhead', but I encourage you to take the pre-trip very, very seriously. In addition to needing to be proficient for your practical test, you will need it every day of your driving career. Get to know every little detail about the...

Except for those times they book it on a solo-operated van. Nice and safe. [ QUOTE=OntarioVanMan;607858] AND further I've done loads for present carrier where the only break time was the difference between the 50mph calculation and the real drive time....which over 1500 mies is approx 4-5...

In theory, yes, it is. In practice, um.....not so much. Sometimes, the law enforcement, um, 'professional' will state on an inspection report that a sticker was issued, despite there not being one issued, and direct you to meander to the nearest rest area to rectify the CLEARLY OBVIOUS...

I'll take it.

Did. Hired driver as a solo in a class 7 with a small sleeper. He brought his girlfriend with him, and we knew he'd be buying his own truck after the bug bit. We sold the truck, and they drove a fleet owner's truck with a bigger sleeper, until they bought their own a few months later (which he...

We did it.
