    Medical recert craziness!

    After reading about the anticipated changes, I feared an experience similar to what you described. I was lucky. My hometown PCP is on the CDL medical examiner list. It went as smooth as in year's past. I fear many more will have experiences similar to yours than to mine.

    Company Ads For Equipment / Drivers

    Some good points worthy of thought. Thanks for the feedback. Most travels these days are along the I-81 corridor from Scranton, PA to Winchester, VA. I swing through the truck stops at Exit 77 near Harrisburg at least once a week, occasionally at the Petro and Flying J at Exit 54 near Carlisle...

    Company Ads For Equipment / Drivers

    I was contracted with FDCC for 7 years. I sold my truck to help my brother with his struggling business. I have never lost the desire to return to the road. I see ads for every expediter company imaginable seeking trucks and drivers. But I see fewer and fewer expediters on the road...

    Re: West Coast Runs Reconsidered

    I was wondering when someone was going to “hijack” the tread out of the FedEx site. To be honest, I am seriously surprised it took this long.

    What Do You Do To Earn Your Pay?

    This pretty welll summarizes it for me. I too have been laughed at by some shippers for over securing the freight. But, I have also heard the praise and thanks of some shippers who appreciate the extra care and effort. My truck is kept clean and well maintained. All needed documents are...

    Safety Management System; What Hath the FMCSA Wrought?

    Misuse and misinterpretation of data can affect us in many ways. It serves first and foremost to fuel the misguided whose motto is: “Don’t confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up”. Internal policies, within organizations with whom we have associations, established defensively (CYA) or...

    Safety Management System; What Hath the FMCSA Wrought?

    I think Phil has brought to light some concerns about this new program. I also feel John Elliott is correct in his assessment that all it had done is begin the process of opening the proverbial Pandora’s Box for greedy lawyers. We all know that Federal bureaucracy does little to solve problems...

    Tractor to straight truck conversion.

    You may want to see about having this question moved to the General or Truck Forum. There is a host of others out there that are very knowledgeable, who may not be able to provide any feedback since posting information to this site is limited to FECC contractors. Just a thought.

    407 / ETR in Ontario, CA

    Can anyone tell me if this toll road accepts EZ Pass or does it require it's own specific transponder? If it requires it's own transponder, does anyone have one and do you feel it is worthwhile? Any contact info on where to get more info on this? Thank you.

    Drop in Freight the past couple of weeks??

    Yes, things have slowed down. I have experienced pretty much the same. Was OOS 11/1 and back first thing on 11/2. Since then 4 loads and 3 dry runs. :(

    Have You Ever Been "Drafted"??

    Yes, about 3 weeks ago while eastbound on I-80 through Pennsylvania. I had a car on my bumper for almost 70 miles. I slowed from 65 to 60 to 55 to 50 thinking they would pass me, but they did not. I slowly increased my speed and they stayed right on my bumber. I was a little concerned that...
