    Terminology and other things

    The main difference between OTR and expediting is most OTR companies have repeated truckloads to the same customers and scheduling isn't that tight . Expediting is irregular and time sensitive . The customer needs something moved ASAP and it is usually much less than a truckload . With OTR...

    Daimler caused problems for Chrysler also . Dodge just brought out their medium duty 4500/5500 trucks a couple of years ago , proving Sterling with the Sterling Bullet as their new medium duty truck .

    a little advise please

    Why the KW with the big HP and aerodynamics of a brick ? You'll be throwing away a lot of money on wasted fuel . Go for 387 or one of the more aerodynamic designs and maybe 100 less HP . Otherwise , the FSC will be inadequate .

    My real concern is with Chrysler . Cerebus is desperately trying to unload it . The GM deal is still possible but real iffy . Should we loan Chrysler a few billion dollars so they can enhance their sale to an Asian company ? But I have another concern . I doubt bankruptcy will put them out of...

    Crossing the Median

    Well think about it . How many vehicles do you see manage to get back in the proper lane after hitting the median ? If all those vehicles that wrecked had any control do you think they would have continued to the other lane ? Of course some of them may have drifted to the median because they...

    WARNING ALL 08 trucks

    Well much of your original post made no sense . You shouldn't have been driving on black ice in the first place . How could you have a head on if the truck went sideways ? How do you apply the gas when the engine brake is on and if the problem was caused by the engine brake why didn't you...

    DHL to end all US operations

    If pizza delivery drivers vote to ratify a Teamster contract I will no longer give them a tip . I can't picture former DHL drivers delivering pizza . They would have to actually come to the door instead of tossing the package in the bushes or in a puddle . Maybe they can go back to newspaper...

    Who is paying good FSC these days?

    This question shouldn't have to be asked . The purpose of the FSC is to compensate the fuel purchaser for the fluxuation of fuel prices . There are formulas to calculate the rate that are fair to the shipper and fuel purchaser . A carrier using O/O's exclusively is not a fuel purchaser and has...
