    Secure parking lots?

    If you go to a scale to ask questions make sure you have a log book AND DOT medical card which is also required over 10,000 lbs. gvwr . A DOT inspection on the truck is required as well as a mounted fire extinguisher and reflective triangles . One fact you won't like about log books . ALL...

    My Wife

    If you run a search for posts mentioning spell check it seems it is actually from programs being used , note the site . (Firefox2 is one example ). Now that's strange . I misspelled a word in the original message and it didn't get underlined . I noticed it after posting and it was underlined...

    Canada Back to Canada

    I didn't go into Canada at all in December . I found the trips this month to be much better . Construction on I-75 and I-94 in Michigan and the 402 in Ontario no longer causes delays . The I-94 West ramp to I-75 South ramp is closed though . I was a little irritated they didn't post signs...

    please enlighten me

    Maybe they are referring to 3rd world immigrants . I know most Vietnamese did not have indoor plumbing and squatted in the rice paddies . When the women encountered toilets on America bases they squatted on the seats .

    Cargo Vans which do you prefer? Ford/Chevy/Dodge?

    The Sprinter is actually a Mercedes and since Daimler sold Chrysler I'd say Sprinter may be going back to being sold and serviced only by Freightliner . As far as Ford goes there will be no diesel vans once the supply of 6.0 diesels is used up . Ford will not make the new 6.4 diesel available...

    It's a felony to falsify log and there is no way to cheat without being caught . Don't try using 2 log books . DOT officials have been known to make copies of your logs and fax them to other scale houses . I watched an Illinois trooper fax copies of my logbook to HQ from his patrol car ...

    To Expedite Or Not To Expedite?

    I think the van o/o's are slightly overstating their income http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/newbies-paradise-forum/24556-fed-ex.html . Also consider van o/o's enjoy not being required to log . They can (and do ) take less than 10 hour breaks , drive more than 11 hours a day , and work...

    Are you asking about the "F" ? Maybe he should have put it this way . The answer is Wafy . When someone responds there is no F in way he'd say "Exactly ! No F in way ! " (I hope this is acceptable . )

    Would a 16ft to 20 Ft Cube van work Expediting????

    I'll try to answer some of your questions . You don't need a CDL to operate a van with a 12,000 lb. GVWR unless you haul hazmat Commercial Driver's License Program (CDL/CDLIS) - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration . Will you "make" $1,000 a week with a van ? Gross , possibly but net...

    Pain at the pump tips

    This post has been making the rounds for quite a while . My observations : 1 Making special trips at certain times doesn't make sense . Like a woman (o.k. or man ) spending $2 on gas to save a $1 at WalMart . If everybody went at these "ideal" times there would be long lines at the pumps . I...
