I really do not know how anyone can stand to follow a truck to close even if you are in another truck. I have to be able to see so I can react and when all I can see in the back of a trailer it really bothers me. It amazes me when I have a car following me that close in a city and I catch a...

Joe I think they are looking for extremes that would cause you to be speeding. Have you not heard of people all ready trying to play this game with their ECM?

I really enjoy cherries and look forward to this time every year!

Hey are these AirTabs going to be at the Expo? Have talked to a few trucks that will be wanting to purchase some there.

We have heard of a couple E units and a couple D units as of now but like you we are not thinking this will be our year to go! I bet they have an awesome time on that cruise FedEx really goes all out for these safety awards.

I would think more on something else going wrong as we have had no problems with fuel filters.

Heck we did not even get pulled into any scales!

Interesting on that issue as the permit is not cheap it sounds like.

I been reading a little on the THAW period and how that affects the widebases singles and a permit.

I was thinking the same thing Lawrence till I looked at those pictures!

Yes Moose we have S/S and have had them for several years now.

I need the rules for Canada as it looks as if we need a permit for many of the provinces. No OVM I have not checked with a scale house in Canada just learned of this permit. I do not want to accept a load into Quebec and have this problem and have to buy the permit as I am sure the load will...

We were listening to Business and Beyond the other night and a Canadian called in that had just received a $1,100.00 fine in Quebec for not having a permit for Super Singles. From what I understand the legal weight you can haul with S/S is pretty minimal unless you have the permit. He was...

I see I forgot to mention a few details! We delivered a load near Las Vegas so immediately headed over to see our daughter who has only been back from Iraq about a month. She has been talking about this event and if at all possible she wanted us to attend. I believe she was the only Captain...

In my own thoughts when you lease on to a company you agree to their procedures. If you do not like their procedures then you can find a new company or if you want to write your own procedures get your own authority. Right now there is a lot more trucks then freight so our position is very...

Has anyone seen what the fines are if you are caught in Ontario or Quebec without the speed limiter?

Once again Dave Panther might not have much freight in Canada but FedEx Custom Critical does and much of it is on a sealed truck. FCC also has a fleet of trucks that run Canada but that does not solve this problem of a sealed straight truck. Your logical reply is for Panther and it sounds...

They did a really awesome job Leo! What an inspiring story to read.

Jim the choice is yours if you do not want to put the speed limiter on change companies. No way would I cover my face so I would have to move to a different company. Our company made a choice we can accept the choice or not. Jim I do not agree at all with what Canada has done. When the...
