She's calling her employer http://www.tdgltd.com/index.htm

What about you fleet drivers ? Do your owners confer with you on these situations ? It's their equipment at risk but you are the one able to assess the situation from what you see and hear .

Bambam , if they are paying for fuel see if they will get an IdleAire account for you . You get free phone service tv ,and internet with IdleAire . You don't have to use it constantly . I can use my fuel card to charge it to but you can add money on the member card they give you and use that . I...

Are you in a hotel or did you get WiFi working in your truck ? Since you have time to kill check this forum out http://roundtable.truck.net/index.php . It's kind of a pain to activate registration. You have to wait for a couple of e-mails but it's worth it .

Just what exactly do you plan on doing ? It doesn't sound like you have a truck . Do you plan on driving for a fleet owner ? Whatever , I don't want to discourage you but you're inviting disaster . An advance will get you there but what if you need to deadhead to the next load or have any type...

After D/C had invested heavily in the Mercedes SUV plant in AL I started wondering if something happened there to discourage further U.S. investments by D/C . I googled for info on that plant and sure enough there was a problem . Earning over $26 an hour wasn't enough . They decided to unionize .

>Her death was faked,and she is now living with Elvis, the >true father of her child. Now we know better than that . She is being preserved for a hearing . Anyone think it odd no funeral arrangements have been announced ? If Stern has her cremated that will be VERY suspicious . Why haven't we...

I'm waiting for Sylvia Browne to make her next appearance with Montel and say she's heard from Anna Nicole and she's happy to be reunited with her son . Y'all are a pretty cold bunch . No words of condolence or prayers for her soul ? (Although it may be a little late for that ) But you're...

You don't say where you're located . Most decent OTR companies require a year OTR experience . You say you have tanker and Hazmat but want a career change . I know an o/o for Quality Carriers that had no tanker experience and signed on with Quality . He owns a day cab and is home every night in...

>Steer in the direction the rear end is coming from? What if >that points you to a ditch? Steer in the direction you want >the vehicle to go. If your rear end is skidding toward the ditch and you steer in the opposite direction you will only succeed in putting the rear end in the ditch twice...

I have to question the ability to net $40,000 as a fleet driver . FECC shows average revenue for a D unit run solo to be just over $72,000 . With a 60/40 split that leaves you a little over $43,000 . Now figure what you'd pay for expenses for a year out of that . You ask if OTR would be better ...

According to this they have 53 units and seem to have the stats in line with other carriers http://www.safersys.org/query.asp?searchtype=ANY&query_type=queryCarrierSnapshot&query_param=USDOT&original_query_param=NAME&query_string=635760&original_query_string=TAYLOR%20MADE%20EXPRESS%20INC

This old thread may help .http://www.expeditersonline.com/dcforum/DCForumID1/5038.html. Expediting teams don't run twice as many miles the way freight haulers doing . Teams just get longer runs .

From the weather channel http://www.weather.com/activities/driving/drivingsafety/drivingsafetytips/snow.html?from=iForecast . Also use that contraversial CB . This past Tuesday I made a trip from Owensboro , KY to Warren , MI . While on I-71 the CB let me know traffic was at a standstill headed...

And look at how China is prospering . One reason diesel fuel is so high is the increased demand in China . The more the U.S. gets involved in foreign trade the more it works against us .

Last week I read of D/C building a Freightliner/Sterling plant in Mexico employing 1,600 Mexicans after laying off workers here . Now I read they are bringing out larger Dodge trucks that will also be built in a plant employing 2,000 Mexicans . German company manufacturing in Mexico . Time to...

That's good advice on the receipts , Frank and should be applied to ALL receipts . I've had several fade on me .

If you see other posts , having the control within reach while in the driver's seat is illegal . Is it worth it to get out of the seat to raise the pusher for a tight turn ?
