Is your shore power the same as in a motor home? By that, I mean totally taking over the generator functions, including battery charge. You guys missed a great show, but where you are sounds like a decent alternative.

In my opinion, there is no one right answer. I will 2nd Redytrk that there is a glut of vans. That can make slow periods VERY frustrating. I'm considering moving to a d unit, but as a solo that also presents its share of issues. I'm with a small company, Express Way, and when it's busy I'm...

I think the cost of land and the high taxes make a major truckstop an expensive proposition. It is frustrating when you deliver up there. I've been kicked out of the Auburn Hills Meijers. Sorry you could'nt make it this weekend. Hopefully the freight gods will smile for a while and Murphy will...

Joebob, I'll be haveing a couple of beverages with Cheri shortly. I'll give her the message.

Well, it's a wrap and it was a hit! What a show. This morning started with an excellant breakfast courtesy of Express 1, thanks to the gang from Buccanan. The Mod Squad was recognized for their great contributions and the highlight was hearing from RichM via cellphone. He was given a plaque in...

If anyone out there is undecided on showing up, I would advise comin' on down. Lots of shiney new trucks and stuff to go with them. I really enjoyed meeting a lot of nice folks after so much time. Dreamer, Lawrence, Terry, LDB, Cheri, Dave. Also Hotfreight recruiter and x1srh. I'm hopeing to...

It can be done, just make sure you use heavy enough wire going to the battery. If the wire is too small it will overheat under heavy load.

This is similar to ocular-rectal inversion.

Maybe I'm being a bit naieve(sp?) here, but it's just something I've never felt that I had to do. I think competent, dependable performance should get you the recognition you need. Maybe that's why I have'nt been as sucessful at this a I think I should have been.

That name would be almost as embarassing as pulling a 53' trailer that says "Another load of Gay Toys" on the side.

I think that truckstop alternatives are going to become increasingly more difficult to find in the future. In my cargo van I've been kicked out of a Meijers and a Wal-Mart. We have the slobs among us to thank for this, in my opinion. I do beleive in patronizeing these places when I park there...

My concern with all miles is that it will probably be all APPROVED miles. If you get sent to Utah and they can't find a load, how long would they let someone sit?

Ohiostomper, you could'nt be more wrong. A reputable company would'nt let this go on, and as Randy has further described these people it's obvious they are anything but reputable. I worked for a company that had this problem before I started with them and when the bigwigs found out it was...

In that case I would be out the door IMEDIATELY!!

Just to set the record straight, I've never been a fleet owner, just a cargo van O/O from Northern Michigan, which is a LONG way from 'Bama. Raceman had a couple of trucks and, if I'm not mistaken, it was driver issues that caused him to give up on it. I have no desire to be a fleet owner. I...

I paid $75 to have signs removed at J-Care in Indy. That would be a $25 profit and no wear and tear on your delicate fingers.

You should bring this to the attention of the owner(s) of your company. These dispatchers should be fired along with anyone providing gifts.

Are judges drug tested if there is reasonable suspicion? I think this would qualify. Just when you think it could'nt get any stranger...

RE: Americans with no ability act-Congressional Ac The problem with some of those folks is they think they have it together and are doing a great job. My son does roust-about work with natural gas wells and was stuck with one of these guys as a partner. Jake had to constantly supervise him and...

The wide eyed look on the dogs face reminded me of an e-mail going around about disiplining kids. They talk about spanking, time out, ect. One guy says he does none of that, he just takes his son for a ride and he settles right down. You scrol down and there's a picture of a kid on the hood of...
