    Telsosemarketers calling our cellphones starts soon

    I reported them and received a response from the Do Not Call List that they were not allowed to contact me even though they were hired by the creditor. They are a third party. I had no clue as to who they were or why they were calling me. They did not have my account number or any other...

    Telsosemarketers calling our cellphones starts soon

    I've reported a couple of them and surprisingly there calls stopped. I even reported an outside collection agency that was hired by a creditor that I was in dispute with. I had no prior business dealings with the collection agency so they were in violation of the do not call law.

    Troopers: At least 9 dead in wrecks on I-75 in Fla

    What a horrific accident. That area of I75 and the Beach Line Expressway (Hwy 520) between Cocoa and Orlando are notorious for fog and smoke. A small muck fire can burn for days and in the early morning hours the smoke mixes with the fog creating 0 visibility conditions. I75 was closed for a...

    I would head east. You are to close to the Mississippi River.

    If you haven't tried it yet the next time you are in the area go tubing or snorkeling on the Ichetuckneesprings River. Here is a link: Welcome to Florida State Parks Our well pulls water from the underground basin.

    Question on Logging & EOBR

    On our paper logs we have a place for the BOL or Shipment number. We either write that number in or EMPTY if we are DH'ing.

    What Truck stop do you use.

    The machine is called a Vis-Check Road Simulator Check System. My local shop in Florida has one. This link has a listing of what it tests. North Florida Truck Parts - Service They put my truck on it once a year.

    Whirlwind Express

    I agree with DaveKC. It sounds like the drivers are financing the carrier. 30 days should be the max to get your money.

    What Truck stop do you use.

    Our truck runs smoother and gets better MPG with T/A or Petro fuel. We don't like the showers or food offerings at Loves, Pilot or Flying J. And the T/A's generally let us park out front away from the 53 foot demolition derby.

    Wow. And a great presentation too. I wonder if there are any craftsman around that could duplicate that level of workmanship.

    Rims on a van and buisness?

    Just buy 4 stock steel wheels and have them chromed. Like they did in they old days of hot rodding. That way you get your bling and still have the load carrying capacity.

    Now THAT'S a sleeper!

    I saw a Prevost tour bus that someone cut about 12 feet out of the back and mounted a box with a liftgate to haul motorcycles. It was a pretty good job considering that a Prevost has a rear engine.

    the LNG trucks are coming

    I think it is a great idea too. I am sure they will work out the safety issues with fueling, fuel tank placement on the vehicles etc. LNG is a lot more volatile than diesel. I don't know about saving any weight. The motors may become lighter but the fuel tanks will most likely be heavier. A...

    fedex winter break

    Those that have a reefer and liftgate or that are on flat rate usually get out pretty quick. The bobtails usually get told to leave by security within a few minutes of arriving.

    Straight truck to tractor trailer

    He found a small company in Missouri that has company drivers and owner operators. The said they would sign him on and have a company driver run with him for 2-3 weeks doing 200-300 mile runs. They seemed to be more worried about his ability to tie down and tarp the freight. He can get the...
