    Ambient sensors....Heard of them?

    I wouldn't be surprised. Maybe they will install them in the trucking executives office's and let them burn up or freeze and see how they like it. Oh, and let's not forget the dispatchers either. Oh, and while I'm at it...lets install some sort of hydraulic device on all the chairs (make it a...

    Why is it?

    Why is it that no matter how expensive, no matter how installed, no matter how well adjusted, no matter how well maintained...why is it that the windshield wiper on the driver's side will ALWAYS streak, not above...not below...but right at the driver's eye level? The passenger wiper can be...

    Pleasant Surprises in This Business

    warrning bad owner

    KEE-RIST people. The driver is only trying to help what he THINKS are his friends in Expediting. Just because he can't spell some things does't mean he's STUPID! Are we not all about helping each other regardless of our short-comings? Just try to show a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T! I see A LOT of...

    Scary to see this from the fog!

    I'm sorry, folks, I like a joke as well as the next guy but that could cause someone to swerve off the road and possibly kill themselves. Especially an inexperienced driver and especially in the fog. It's like when the morons dropped a manikin off an overpass down onto a lady's car and she...

    Get that Fuel Ticket - TA/Petro

    And while I'm at it, how do you like it when you go into a major Truck Stop (they ALL seem to be alike) and there is almost ALWAYS a long line. There is usually ONE clerk there and most of the time they are clueless about a ny other services except ringing up coffee. If you need a fax, or a...

    Get that Fuel Ticket - TA/Petro

    I have to agree! I've had mine for over a year and have seen doodely-squat benefits from it. I have, however, gotten several free showers from the Pilot Rewards Program.

    laredo

    Wait a minute! Wait a minute....What happened to "Just say NO to cheap freight?" Not you in particular OVM but I read that statement many times on EO! The jist was if everyone says no to hauling cheap freight the rates will stay up which is true in theory, but what puzzles me is that every one...

    Please explain sign

    Everyone, I'm sure has seen the sign warning of a curve that might tip over a truck, but what I don"t understand is the circle with the arrow might be pointing to the right, but the little icon of the truck will be shown trying to tip over to the left! Now it seems to me that if the curve is...

    How many HATE this?

    How many HATE this?

    One of the things about expediting that just gets my blood pressure BOILING is you have a pick up at a huge plant and you're ALWAYS in a hurry, and you finally drive around and find the "SHIPPING" department. Most of the time no one is there, especially on third shift, and when you do finally...
