O.K. , I'm going to address several points here . Some inspectors have been known to copy log sheets and fax them to other scales . FMCSA requires you to log or flag all changes of duty status but you are only required to enter the city and state of ther change . Some carriers may require you...

What can someone expect to make driving a van for someone else ? It's tough enough for van O/O's . The revenue isn't there for both a driver and owner to get a reasonable profit

Ontario has approved a pilot program for LCV's pulling double 53' trailers . These rigs will be limited to 90km/h. Should prove an interesting mix - 90km/h LCV's , 105km/h semi's , RV's , and impatient 4 wheelers . TheStar.com | Ontario | Clear the way, here come truck trains

The TT drivers you see are only going to get worse . The bottom feeder carriers have lowered starting rates to as low as $.22 a mile . You get what you pay for . But with miles down and many drivers geting less than 1500 miles a week , many don't last long when they get the calculator out and...

You might as well say it . We're all thinking it.

The only problem with larger truck stops is they would demand higher rent .

Michelin has a safety video teaching to accelerate to maintain control when a tire blows . To maintain ability to accelerate simply drive below the governed speed .

I have seen no disruption of traffic at all in Ontario due to the limiters . Some drivers run the limited speed , others stay below it at the speed limit . Different gearing and load weight keeps trucks from running together when congestion clears . Much of the Ontario highway system is 3 lane...

There is also a barber shop at the Pilot at exit 28 off I-71 in KY and she doesn't seem to do much business either . I don't know how she pays rent and makes a living . Have you thought about asking nursing homes about going to the homes and doing hair for residents ? No shop overhead and little...

There are posts asking contractors if they have had speed limiters put on their trucks . The speed limiter is not an added accessory . It is just a changed setting on the ECU . It is not required to be permanent and can be reset after leaving Canada . I have been making regular trips through...

Why quit ? Daimler and Navistar aren't the only ones building trucks . They don't care if you lose work but you still give them your money .

Then they must not be building many trucks . Daimler Dedicates Freightliner Plant in Mexico | Transport Topics Online | Trucking, Freight Transportation and Logistics News And yes, Western Star production has been moved to Mexico.Freightliner closing Swan Island plant - Portland Business...

I wouldn't buy any Navistar product . They are shifting too much work to Mexico and their VP of sales said O/O's can't run legally and survive .

You never know about prices lately . Yesterday the Marathon off exit 266 on I-94 in MI had diesel at $2.07 . The Pilots at exit 175 on I-75 in KY are usually the lowest priced in the area but they were $2.11 and the Love's at exit 55 on I-71 was $2.09 .

The trailers you see being pulled by pickups are probably private carriers . The big problem with them is they aren't dock height and probably wouldn't support the weight of a forklift . There are pickup and flatbed owners doing well leased to Acme . Without a CDL you'd be limited to a cargo van...

The jewels may have slowed him down and he wouldn't have won anyway . I came south on I-71 in KY Saturday morning . KSP had a welcoming comittee for derbay fans . At exit 55 there was a bear on the overpass with radar and 5 chase cars working . Note I didn't say waiting . They stayed busy .

I haven't bought fuel at Speedway for a while but I would buy their discounted gift cards . When used at the truck pumps they didn't ask for a DOT number . The Pilots at exit 175 off I-75 in KY used to have the lowest price fuel . Not last week . The Love's at exit 55 on I-71 was $.02 less per...
