    On Spot Automatic Chains

    Unfortunately ,this is correct, only while empathizing on the word 'drive'. but is not correct if using the word 'truck'. in Cal. (when max law in effect) ,in O.R, I.D, and W.A as well. in other states, if the tag is down... you will still have to 'carry on' 3 single wide chain to be in full...

    shower in truck

    Yes, but from a fleet owner perspective, is that a good recruiting/retention investment ? looks like most do not ask for it, and this item hardly attract drivers. that well needed space in the sleeper can be better used. one,of many, rezones i spe'c the trucks with a shower, is that at the...

    Help for a new tractor, fleet owner...

    Correct, & it will stay that way, as long as the industry will stop recruiting the trucking industry leftovers, and start PAYING TT drivers a wage closer to the Industry standard. unlike St. Trucks, Expedite TT have strong recruiting/retaining competitions, and after a decade driving i still...

    Morning, past mistakes can stay back there. it will help if you can tell us some more about your truck, your contract, experience, expectations, no-no's,and so on. so we can better narrow our help. a good practice is to read the EO classifieds, for trucks and drivers alike, see what other...

    My lord tons of repo straights

    This is the wrong thread to post this ! IF you where to be a fully qualified and certified experienced TEAM drivers, then that would be a candidate truck to look for. but we well know that at this point even many of those kind of drivers are having a hard time keeping the box loaded with good...

    I am one of the very few fortunate drivers hoe had to replace one ! my Hino expediter came with a top of the line 'Holland' landing gear. http://ww1.safholland.us/sites/usa/en-us/products/landinggear/pages/default.aspx the turning of the crank shaft became too hard to twists, we tried to...

    Load Checks evry 150 miles?

    yes, but Jim, the regs do not require the seal # to be reporter on the BOL... (or anywhere else for that matter). i used to love shippers hoe do not seal the box. that way i could show the seal # on the seal manifest and replace it at will. you do not need the carrier to provide the seal...

    Load Checks evry 150 miles?

    This is correct. with my old carrier, i was instructed to seal every single load. that carrier provide me with a seal manifest,(a very distinguish one), and plenty of seals, so even if the seal needs to be broken along the way, the seal switch can be easily documented, and accepted by the...
