Hey Night, you been dreamin again? LOL

Looks to me like the big black cat is the only one involved in this accident. I see nothing identifying FedEx as being involved. Did I miss something in the news report?

Yes Jefferson3000, I did ask a simular question in that thread three months ago regarding this subject. In this thread my intent is to poll especially fleet owners to see what their requirements on this subject are. In the recent weeks I'm hearing more and more from fleet driver friends of how...

I'm curious about this, so I'm gonna ask! How many owners (team) out there would (or do) give up the bed in their sleeper to accomadate a customer's ride along courier? How many fleet owners ask their drivers to "give up the bed" for the courier? Would you as a fleet driver drive for an owner...

Definately the Kenworth! The T-600 was produced up through 2007 and then replaced by the T-660 which is a nice tractor. We drove Century Class and Columbia Freightliners for years. For the extra cost of the Kenworth, I feel the quality is well worth the added expense!

You are dispatched to assist another truck load or unload their freight. In the course of assisting you are injured inside of their box. Say that you are not at fault for your injury or only have a partial responsibility for your injury. The injury causes you to loose time from being able to...

We've been laid over at the Petro in Oak Grove,MO so long the Finches have built a nest in our reefer.LOL Been watching them carrying stuff in for the past five days. Starting the unit and running it for a while did'nt even chase them out. Today I finally got the ladder out so that I could...

As Steve said, here's the rest of the story: The load came back about 30 minutes later with the corrected gross pay amount. The origanal amount was the FSC that had been put in the total pay amount. For the less than $200 the load paid to help another team load their trailer, we are left...

We receive a load offer today that left us both laughing! The run was a total of 38 miles paying a gross of $17.40. Yes, you heard me right! It was a B rate load being offered to an ER-unit. I'm sure it was just a typo, if not I really feel for the van rates! LOL

We purchased ours at the Kenworth dealership for just over $200.00. Rather than taking our chances with cheaper no name caps we went with Kenworth locking caps. Considering today's average diesel price of 3.979/gal and the fact that we usaully keep our tanks full (300 gal), that's a cheap...

I agree with Terry. We plan to be there with our ER-Unit and good directions (T/T friendly) would be wonderful. Also information regarding parking onsite overnite would be great. We will not be needing power but I'm sure some will. Is parking by reservation or first come first serve?

Update: I'm pleased to report that Pilot employees at the N. Fort Worth Pilot have been hard at work the last two days attempting to clean up their parking lot. Granted, they have a ways to go but progress is worth mentioning. We have been parked in the back next to the garbage crusher and have...

What is with the Pilot in North Fort Worth,TX lately? It is a major trash hole today!!! We used to prefer to stay at this loction when laid over in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. There is Cabelos across the street, Subway and Mc Donalds in the Pilot and IHOP right next door. This makes it a nice...

The shower/toilet combo is well worth the space and cost in my opinion. We are fortunate enough to have one in our 132" A.R.I Legacy ll sleeper. It occupies an area that measures 30' x 40". Whether you run solo, husband & wife team, or team (non family member co-driver) the pricacy and...

So are you saying, as long as it's cooked I'm ok but if its not, I'm cooked when law enforcement checks out my pantry? LOL

A while back I had this reeeally exquisite dish at a Casino restaurant the wife and I frequent. It consisted of angel hair pasta, portabello mushrooms, and vodka sauce. I knew I must have this dish again sometime soon. So, while recently purchasing food supplies for the truck's pantry I came...

The D.O.T. officer was a young buck fresh out of academy that pulled me into his kentucky scale to hassle me about a hazmat load I had onboard. Since he couldn't properly read a hazmat manifest, I guess that should be a clue as to his knowledge regarding log books!

Per the D.O.T. officer I spoke to: A 34 hour restart cannot be a combination of off duty and sleeper berth during the 34 hour period. Also said that you cannot log 34 hours in the sleeper and get the restart, it must be all on the off duty line. Went on to say that if they choose to they...

It seems the trend in expedite trucks is to buy a big sleeper with all of the amenities on-board to be more comfortable and save on motel bills. Great idea until the "34 hour restart! Why buy these sleepers so that we don't have to go into the truckstop to eat,pee,and shower, only to be told...

I recently had to deal with a snitch that out and out lied to our carrier regarding a conversation between the customer and myself. A better part of two days was spent correcting that mess. I will not disclose the name or truck number openly or privately of this snitch, but you know who you...
