After watching that video in it's entirety, there's numerous mistakes that were made - however the 1st one was that they pushed the load out to the end. When using a lift gate you have to be extremely careful and cautious. If your alone, it can still be done easily and safely. BBB

Hello, I've trucked all 48- with Expediter I even trucked into Ontario a little past Toronto from Detroit a fair amount of times. Driving tour busses I've driven thru and/or in nearly every major city in the US as well as extensively exploring the provinces of Quebec and Ontario. I will add that...

I agree with Bruno... while I've not yet attended the Expedite Expo, that would be a worth a visit for somebody wanting to invest into a lift gate for use in the expedited freight industry. I'd like to add that if you're not able to make it to the Expedite Expo then in March in Louisville...

BigBusBob... I'm tall, I used to drive Busses A Lot, and... this is really going to surprise you - My name is boB. Yes, you can spell it backwards too! Rarely would I get to see a performance... Upon parking, making sure the bus was set up, is all clean, and dressed to impress... the bus...

By the way, as to what they can do to you at a scale.... Any number of things. They can literally take your seats out of your cab to search for drugs. The officers will usually though just inspect your paperwork... and it's not unusual to get a vehicle inspection. If an officer goes out to...

Interesting that nobody really did tell him what to expect and answer as he put it "How screwed" he could be... Well, It's been a while since I've been on the board - so I'll take a shot at this one. What to expect: You follow the signs and lights and it's not a bad idea to roll your drivers...

What limo companies are doing with Sprinters is making them into a fancy shuttle as well... instead of having to jump into a regular passenger van, imagine stepping up into something on wheels that has the interior of a private jet. There's a wide range of what can be done with Sprinters in...

Having part in the tour bus and limo world as well as trucking... Sprinters are becoming widely used for "Executive Transportation" as some are calling it. They raise the roofs, put a bunch of leather in the back and basically make them fancy little limo's that can in some cases be able to be...

If you want to run for somebody to get your feet wet in the industry, hunt down a tow truck operation that moves cars for auctions and dealers. The guys with the roll backs that can move 4 cars at a time- one overhead, two on the bed, and one on the wheel lift... those are the ones that do good...

Ok, so that I understand... and to verify... To Buy a Class 8, three axle Tractor (Cabover), to move it to the house I need and/or Really Really should be ready to get: Of Course temporary Insurance (What kind though?) And Fuel Permits- found at? the scales? and/or ? Like I said, always...

What is this GSMS and MURS?? What does it stand for? and what kind of radio is needed? I've been looking into a HAM license for myself... the license itself is less than $50 from what I've been told, and a decent HAM radio can be had for less than $250 or so... I said "Decent", not great. From...

Seriously... this should be put out there to Truckers News, LandLine, and OverDrive. As well as be spread out on FaceBook to as many as possible. That kid looks terrified- as if it was literally crammed into that spot. I question the parents/care givers as well. BigBusBob

I'm somewhat surprised, thought this would have gotten more attention than it has- especially when I asked about technical set ups... No Offense here--> However, given the large number of straight truckers and 4 wheel haulers here- it's not a complete surprise that there's not much here for this...

This would be a Cabover with NO box on the back... I'd be wanting to use it as a tractor- for work and pleasure- as in for possible truck shows and perhaps a parade here and there. I've been researching prices and various makes and models, as well as conditions of these trucks. IF you look...

I should know this, but I don't. So... I'm going to ask here, rather than search to see what happens. I'm seriously considering on purchasing a cheap, used, old tractor. More than likely a cabover, to use as a project truck for myself and my sons- and was wondering what all I needed or did...

My 2 cents... when Katrina hit, and I was doing bus work in/out of there to New Orleans area... Horizon and Quality were the two big hot shot companies I saw down there moving trailers and doing work down there with specialty vehicles. So apparently, they're both of decent reputations.

Tractors are rare in the expediting industry, because often times there's not enough freight to fill them. Expedite co.'s can easily fill a cargo van and half of a straight truck or part of a straight truck. it's mistakes on orders that are being filled, forgotten or badly needed freight, or...

BigBusBob... coined onto me by James McBride years ago on a national tour. He was thanking the sponsors and people involved to bring the show to the people (as most performers do) and he ended with "And most of all, this show would not have been possible without our bus driver, BigBusBob". I...

so you are only half way thru your training? which means you're probably with a trainer- who drives during the day, and sleeps at night... like many trainers do. Why? Because there's less traffic at night, so you won't have to deal with as much on the road. and that's a good thing. If you decide...

I like the idea of electric shore power available to commercial drivers. What they could do, if they wanted to charge a "Small" fee... is require drivers to scan/show their CDL's and be given an access code to unlock a box to the outlets. This way, motorhomes and the general public could not...
