    on board fax machine?

    We always scan, if at all possible, rather than fax. It depends what your carrier accepts. I have an all-in-one printer/scanner in the truck, but takes a lot of space in a van. I tell drivers to at least attempt to fax from the receiver, since we have a toll-free fax number. It sure cuts...

    Wow, I need a good Truck Stop Guide....

    I would recommend going south. At least get between Detroit and Toledo to find a decent truck stop.

    TA and Petro are combining points

    TA or Petro won't give a "team shower" like most others do? You should be able to get a second shower for that 50 gallons. Many times you just have to let them know at the desk that there are two drivers.

    cargo van?

    That was my first inclination, but I ignored it.:D:eek:

    cargo van?

    I'm not sure how CSA2010 would affect such a decision within any carrier.

    Getting ones own Authority

    Yes. The common carrier authority that you have filed for is showing that it is pending the insurance filing, but your process agents are in place. FMCSA will refer to it as your docket number. Good luck to you!

    What is all the talk about fedex ?

    I see that the screen name hasn't hardly dried either. The pantherhatch is now a fedhatch. ;)

    Getting ones own Authority

    Common Carrier Authority Contract Carrier Authority You can't run a commercial truck across state lines without it. No offense, but if you really were as familiar as you need to be to be compliant, you would've been familiar with the term "authority" already. Your DOT number is fine if you...

    J.D. Clark Logistics ?

    I've known of JD Clark for at least a couple of years now. Traded a few emails with John a few times. Seems like a real standup kind of guy. We quoted on a couple of loads for a sales agent with them some time back, but they never went through.

    Just needs a question mark. :D

    Can't figure it out either.

    Large Carrier vs. Small Carrier: Thoughts?

    So true. What is stable today, could be entirely unstable tomorrow. Who would've thought two years ago that Washington Mutual or Wells Fargo would be a name in history? How about Enron? The best advice I could give to our friend who got stuck in Texas (or any owner op for that matter) is not...

    over GVWR question

    It's kind of like the guy running 2-3 sets of log books. It just ain't worth what you think you've gained.

    Large Carrier vs. Small Carrier: Thoughts?

    You mean that a large carrier has a reach that a smaller carrier doesn't? No offense, but it must have been the recruiter that sold you that. My reach extends across upwards of 9000 pieces of equipment, if need be. Hundreds of agents as well. Now that's nationwide coverage.

    Why the passenger? Heck, let the driver hang out the side. :D

    Truly A Sad Day For Gas Powered Expediters

    Thank you. I've been trying to van drivers to understand this for some time. It works for the bigger vehicles as well, and fuel is usually way cheaper, especially if they AREN'T on the same exit as a truck stop chain.
