>It would also be funny if some of these people tried to defend their behavior. While I've never felt the need to do so, at least not in this forum, I can certanly defend it. For whatever reasons, all of them being valid (even the stupid, immature ones) there are times when one wants to voice...

>IP addresses are not a secret, and no one can >really do anything with an IP address anyway. Don't kid yerself. If you know what you are doing, not only can you wreck havoc on someone (and their computer) if you have their IP address, but you can also gather a ton of information on them. An...

My point being, if less-than 1000 pounds of sealed drums of paint can go in a cargo van, so can 3000 pounds of it. There is no more, nor no less, of an inhalation hazard once you hit the magical placarded 1001 pound mark with paint drums. So the reasoning behind not hauling van-haulable...

Exactly. It hurts absolutely nothing to tell others where the good places to sit might be. I'm not familiar with where to sit and wait in Canada. With Con-Way, we usually went in, dropped off, and came right back out. So, no experience as to where to layover to wait for a load. I recently...

I'm still on the Con-Way contract, but I'll be switching over to the Panther contract this week, probably. The main reason is, Panther seems to be picking and choosing which parts of the Con-Way contract to honor. (of course, that might be due to them trying to get the kinks worked out of the...

Wow. This entire post is one great big oxymoron. Too funny. :7 :7 :7

>Why does Panther give us such unreliable tools, >when the right ones are available? Incompetence. It appears that the QC routing are from MapQuest or Rand McNally, neither of which are designed for the trucking or transportation industry. They are for tourists. PC Miler is the industry...

Oh, I dunno. I've had both very polite, and very rude, experiences with DOT officers, as well as customs officials. They did their jobs equally well in all cases - the only difference is how rude they chose to be on that particular day. I just make it a point to be sure all my ducks are in a...

hehe Took the words right out of my keyboard. If the rumbling of a truck engine keeps you awake, then trucking might not be for you.

More importantly, when snow melts, where does the white go?

I called dispatch this morning and talked with the Panther folks. They didn't have me in their system at all, and apparently they haven't received a lot of the information on many of the Con-Way PBO's yet. I sent the macro 25 in yesterday morning, and they didn't get that, either. Late last...

I haven't gotten my call from anyone, yet, so I'm still a little in the dark about some of this. Guess I'll hear from someone tomorrow. Anyone know which is best? To grandfather the Con-Way "C" contract, or to go with the Panther "B" contract?

I'v e been with Con-Way for a year. Only expedite company I've been with, too. :) The only thing about Panther that gives me pause is that they (a) have company trucks and (b) have dispatcher-owned trucks. I'm just wondering that, if I were a dispatcher, and I had a choice of two trucks to give...

Yeah, the DOT door signage wasn't due to be in for a couple or three months, and then everyone else's lettering was to have been in by then, as well. They put the new ones on mine simply because they had an extra prototype. They put one set on a straight truck a few weeks ago, and still had...

Best thing you can do for yourself and your tires is to have nitrogen put in them. With nitrogen instead of regular air, they stay inflated, run cooler, give 4%-6% better fuel mileage, and get considerably better tread-wear mileage. My brother drives a big truck and routinely gets 230-250K on...

>And I was looking forward to the new >Con-Way colors. So it goes. > Just had these put on the new van on Wednesday. Pictures were taken, Potter grinned and gushed, everyone rejoyced. And so it goes...

I've used both Street & Trips and Delorme Street Atlas extensively for years, and have both installed on my machine. I like the look of Streets and Trips better, but I like the feedback and and on-screen information of Delorme better. I use Delorme most of the time. Its maps are slightly more...

I carried 2500 pounds of buterscotch flavoring from Ontario to Iowa. Delivered to a place that makes buterscotch cup cake thingies for Sam's Club. The first 5 minutes in the van were great. Smelled like heaven. 2 hours later I had a headache. 10 hours after that I was ready to drive off a cliff...

The sockets are called Wood Beam Sockets, or Shelf Pockets. They can be used to make shelving, or decking. For that you'd attach the 2x4 (or whatever size you like) permanently to the sockets. For a floor load bar, simply insert the sockets into the E-Track, and drop a 2x4 (or whatever) down...
