You mightb read the article by Jeff Jensen in EO. http:www.expeditorsonline.com/artman/publish/article/_001620.html They have advertised that they wiil meet or beat any competitors price. Sounds like they want you to work cheap.I also note they do not go to Canada or handle Hazmat. BEST OF LUCK!!!

Has anyone heard who the winners of the contest were?Last I heard was there was to be a drawing at a lunchen around the first of the month. They sent imead winners of the recent driver skills over the QC,but nothing about this recent "CONTEST"

WOW Twmaster that is great information.I myself have wonderd about this business of under registrating.In fact this whole thread has been very informative."C" trk drivers dont get much respect,and even less information.We all have to learn at the scale house. I am supprised George (GEO) has not...

Terry I think you ar right.Joan Claybrook was head of the National Highway Safety Adimn under Jimmy Carter.Her present orginazition was founded by Ralph Nader. (Aint GOOGLE great)

This is great news. Too bad Bin Laden couldnt go along for the ride.

You got all this from my co-driver....RIGHT?

www.campingworld.com About $90.00 plus $73.00 installation. The closest location to you would probably be Nashville.You can also try the RV Dealers near you most have this item.Ask about Fantastic.We have had ours for about a year now.Works great.Closes automaticly in case of rain.Also has 3...

I met a fellow once on the dock who told me about what had happened to his last truck.Seems the fork truck driver just put a 2000# skid on the tail,because the lift was too high to go on the truck.Well this guy procedes down the hwy until a 4 wheeler did something stupid in front of him.Slamed...

Great tip about Bath in a Bag.Did a Google on it and came up with... www.allegromedical.com/bard.html Another item we really like is No Rinse Shampoo avail at Sallys Beauty Supply.Cost $7.00 bottle and is great for those inbetween times. Untill we can get ahold of a supply of bath bags, I just...

Before I ever pull away from the dock with a load the shipper dictates that it be secured in a unsafe manner,I would have a dialog with my dispatcher.the load would be secured to our satisfaction,or it would be left on the dock.

A slight correction on the White Out. It is a .7 oz bottle,not 7 oz. That makes it about $182.85 per gal. Sorry about the nit picking. (a correction on the correction---I think I just made a pun)

Security guard recently ran our C truck out of the front to the back lot.He only did this after a RV`er complained.They are doing their best to court the RV business,even though they buy little fuel and only use truck stops to avoid paying at the RV parks.If truck stop operators had any brains...

Glen.Keith Bentz told me he thought your reefer was run on eletric.Could you tell us a little more just how satisfactory this was.Who installed,cost etc.

Glen lets face the facts.A lot of the reason you could park just about anywhere was because of your beautiful show truck.We also have a "c"unit but get a lot of hostility from shopping centers,wall*Marts etc.When you look more like a RV it makes a difference.

Glen`s remarks are right on the money.In addition when positioning a single skid,I have found it best to go around the skid with your first rachet strap and return it to the SAME wall.Then go around the skid starting from the other wall,and back to the same wall.This prevents any movement in any...

Here is another thought I wiil throw into the mix.David Lawrence XM computer Guru says one of the advantages to the MAC is that few virus writers are attacking the MAC.Makes me think maybe my next computer will be a MAC. I presently have a Gateway.It has been pretty good. I bought it mainly...

I can identify with your feelings about running a van.In the 80`s we were home a lot doing auto loads around the tri-state.Things are different now.Less auto business means you need to get out into the system to be sucessful.The new hours of service will help the solo driver.Lawrence was right...

George...Anyone that might be interested in your WS truck might want to convert it to a "D" unit this could be done fairly easilly.When I traded in my "C"International 4700 last year,the dealer stretched it and put on a 22,box. Dont blame you for wanting to get away from logs.I remember how the...

Remember,your truck/van must be under 10,000 GVWR.If you do not want to log and pass most scales.
