    LOL, yes I use the Ceva DOT number(actually I use the MC number it is shorter and I have it memorized) Don't know the difference between the MC and DOT, both numbers are on my door. I am under 26K so no IFTA required I think technically exempt diesel is only for trucks with IFTA, but...

    10 Ways High-Speed Rail Will Impact the Freight Industry

    I agree with you, but the way Amtrack is set up with goverment funding and bailouts they cannot stop service areas. Let them fail and let the free market take over. Same with the buses, our buses are subsidized here. We have a terrible bus system here, it doesn't even go to all areas of the...

    Gonna have to checkout speedway more I used to rack up the points filling up the straight trucks at the last company I ran for. Back then 66,000 points would get you $100 cash card and I earned quite a few of those :D plus their prices are pretty competitive. I pass the Beaverdam,Oh Speedway...

    10 Ways High-Speed Rail Will Impact the Freight Industry

    I hate flying and if high speed trains were an option I would be all over it. We cannot use our existing tracks for this purpose and Amtack is a money loser except for the east coast. Fort Wayne is the second largest city in Indiana and we don't have Amtrack service, really sad if you ask me...

    fuel prices

    Why would I go in and pay a buck fifty to a buck seventy five for a bottle of soda or water, I buy a 24 pack of water at walgreens for 3.99 or less sometimes and stick a couple in my cooler, and if I feel like a soda, which I am trying to cut back on I usually get the ones on sale, ninety nine...

    fuel prices

    Yes, for the most part tractor trailers are stuck buying fuel at these places. Even though it may be more of a pain to fuel one tank and turn around and fill the other, most stations are accesible to a straight truck. I use Speedway/belong to the rewards program, the local Lassus Handy Dandy...

    fuel prices

    I usually avoid the name brand truck stops because their prices are higher then the independents. Probably has something to do with alot of large companies who get the fuel discounts.

    Signing on with more than one carrier

    That why I was worried and added liability insurance, so now I am covered. I didn't realize before that Ceva picked up the liability part, partialy because I pulled away from their coverage with the settlement deductions and found insurance on my own. I am not a lawyer and didn't know all...

    Empty I was insured, non trucking Liability Ceva covers liability while under a load So in essence, when hauling for Towne I was uninsured :eek: as far as liability goes, all other insurance I was covered. Most of the time I had at least one Ceva delivery on my truck in addition to the Towne...
