    Pre-trip inspections

    I can appreciate the forensic evidence presented to me on bulb failures, (if they were on or not when they failed.) The question would be WHEN did they fail. In the case of a filament simply being broken away from its post with the dome still unbroken how could you tell if it was from bouncing...

    Pre-trip inspections

    our bulbs are not aviation style so that would be near impossibe to tell except by eye witness if they were on or not, besides electronics probably measure amp draw from the lighting ciruits and record any faults on those planes. Much in the same way alot of your check engine lights come on. Ive...

    Perfect expediters please help

    Along with that remark about the fleet owners trying to bring on more professional drivers to better improve a carriers image, ponder this, what good reason is there not to proof read. I mean most of you around here say you have to be professional, why skip where its just as important. Unless...

    I saw one of those on my way down I75 to FL the other night hauling doubles just as you stated, second sighting I have had of them. Did not know anything about them though. Guess things are just going to get tighter out there. Might just have to click on that kitty kat ad. :)

    MURDER IN PA.

    Sad as it may be for the children and families involved. I get the feeling that we dont value life the same. I feel it is an incredibly horrific senseless loss anytime someone's life is taken at the hands of another. I dont place a higher value on ones life based on their age, culture, race...

    marvinkwagner and his use of Team 2

    I see reference to team 2 all over these threads and posted by one marvinkwagner. To better understand marvin and his new term we have to first define the meaning, only then will we have a better understanding of its use, "TEAM 2" I believe (I could be wrong) references his position as team...

    Truck parking at home.

    WoWser, I suppose it would make a difference where the location is, ie; cornfield in IA or a lot on long island. I do feel fortunate about the price, not to mention it is located very near the house. There are options, just makes sure you have 24 hr access, whether you park at someones terminal...

He may believe himself to be number 1, superior in nature to all other drivers which leaves everyone...
