Haven't posted in awhile but figured if anyone could help me with this one you guys here would know. The HOS in Ontario is different than in US (as of Jan 2007). If my truck starts a load in US, crosses the border and continues on the run what on earth does he do about logging the trip...

RE: Would anybody be intrested in this... (Repost looks nice...but personally, I would rather have a bathroom/shower!

Heck, I think my first two or three threads were locked. KW and I didn't see eye to eye on something and it got ugly. I'm glad they locked that thread now. I sure wasn't at the time, but my cooler head is grateful that the moderators didn't let my hot head continue on that one. There is...

I bought my husband the ram-mount stand that attaches to the base of the passenger seat. Here is a link for several kinds: http://www.dieselboss.com/stand.htm He has no complaints about his at all.

I have sleep apnea and it is my understanding that it CAN cause you to fail your cdl physical. If you have a case where it only affects your sleep patterns and it can be corrected with the cpap machine you may qualify but if you have the kind that you can fall asleep at any time there is no way...

Beware when purchasing insurance. Make sure you add up the down payment and monthly installments and they add up to the premium. There should only be no more than $5.00 added on to each payment. I am in the process of renewing mine and FIRST CHARTER INSURANCE GROUP gave me a great quote UNTIL...

RE: FedEx National VS FXCC RE:work with fdcc As an outside carrier (tractor) I have noticed a decline in offers available. Not sure how that fits into the mix, but they don't seem to be offering as many outside the company as I expected with the addition of Con-Way. I used to see at least 100...

not sure if you are on the #$%( list or not but from my point of view (independent seeing overflow loads from expedite companies) the first 3 weeks of this month were slow, this week is slammed. I'm seeing triple amount of emailed bids. I think its just the end of the month/quarter but hoping...

we have our own authority (48 and 53' Vans). The positive is that I can work WITH all the expedite companies and not stuck with just one. We work with Panther II, Landstar Express America,Con-Way Now (R.I.P), Bolt, ASAP, UPS, FED Ex, and a lot of the other companies that you all work for. I...

MC228162 shows active Common Carrier authority since 1994 and their insurance has been consistent since 2002. Safer System shows 29 power units with a satisfactory safety rating

My husband drove tractor for them for a 5 year period, took a break and then went back for 2 more. My honest opinion is that as long as you don't ##### off the dispatchers you will be fine. Make any enemies there and you are done. Refusing loads puts you at the bottom of the list and if you...

"Remember also that you receive 70% as the deduction instead of the normal 50% of the total for 2005, This year 2006 and 2007 the perentage goes up 5% to 75%. and in 2008 it finally gets to the Max of 80% where it was in 1997 when they reduced it to 55% with every two years going up 5%." Can...

We were told we could deduct the guard dog's expenses but it would create a big red flag for what little benefit we would get from the deduction. That was from our CPA. We chose not to raise that audit flag. The entire deduction for food/vet expenses for the year was minimal.

Why do you say that? Because I posted on it and the lock has been following me? lol

Thanks for the info Mike. Is there a new contact number for the truckload department?

"the mess gets bigger every day." Didn't you just tell him its not as complicated as made out to be? lol If it wasn't so complicated it wouldn't be such a mess. I would rather have someone over-prepared to go in than not and risk the fines.

Mike, what about their truckload side? What's happening or going to happen with that, if you know?

Terri and Charlotte, Think its time for me to keep my opinions to myself or at least off this board. Feel free to contact me privately.

Ohio, is your company set up for Canada? By that I mean you need to have a SCAC code, CVOR, Pars Barcodes, PAPS Barcodes, Cargo Manifest forms, A8 forms, etc. You don't need an Ontario Authority any more but in order to take loads into or out of Canada a carrier must have the above. In...

I have been advised that the merger of ConWay and Panther won't affect me as much as my participation on this board so I think I will keep my opinions to myself for now. Let's just say both are affecting me this morning.
