You need to be careful about putting additives in an engine that will thicken the overall viscosity. In the old days, most engines were built with more clearance between the cylinder wall and piston rings and wider channeling for oil to move through the engine which provided lots of "wiggle...

Do a google image search for "(insert your vehicle here) van door ladder tire generator mount" Lots of choices for mounts that attach to and swing out with the doors that shouldn't impact door opening width for freight. I like this one...

Heh! Ya, I was just searching past promaster threads and another one of your posts came up saying the same so I was just going to say nevermind, I get where you're coming from however I've been looking at the promaster as potentially having the cheapest costs of ownership overall of the long and...

Why do you say that the promaster doesn't have enough room? Or do mean not enough room for a bed in addition to 12ft of cargo space?

I think it was the driver who was already out of the truck and was just out of the frame of the camera until crash time. I think he realized at the last second that based on the direction the train was coming from, he would be far safer standing to the right of the impact point, LoL!!!:laughing:

I was going to post the same however you beat me to it.;) I hope it filters down so you benefit personally in some way as well. This strategic move along with my other recent post about TransForce hooking up with BlackRock to create a freight matching service shows that they will indeed be a...

With Blackrock and Canada's largest carrier as partners, this might have some legs. Hopefully they will do an IPO or direct listing in the near future. Strategic Investors Also Include Maersk..... Digital Freight Platform Loadsmart Raises $90M in Series C Funding Round Backed by TFI...

Well that should piss off the rest of the carriers! Now their owners ops and drivers will all be wanting the same compensation, LoL! Kudos to Landstar though for offering compensation to those who aren't even employees!:)

I could be wrong but I would think this would only apply if you are hauling under a FEMA order such as happens after hurricanes and other natural disasters. Don't think I would want to get into an argument with a DOT officer over the exemption if I didn't have direct written authority...

Since you are already "social distanced" from your carrier, they are being proactive in helping you stop the spread.....:D

More important than keeping your hands clean is keeping your hands out of your face!

I think he's asking if a fork lift will load the truck at ground level with the gate down as shown in the picture........

This is 7 year old news. While the new truck in the above video maybe a little more aerodynamic, Walmart didn't come up with this truck idea like they claim. Manitoulin Transport (and many moving companies) had been utilizing dromedary boxes for many many years.

Well since Uber just announced that they are shutting down Uber Rush, then maybe it's an opportune time for another player to step into the ring.

In the thinking persons world this should work for everyone. Unfortunately when there is no clear cut policy defined in these matters, and more is left to interpretation, chaos and poor morale are the result. How does dispatch work at Panther? Are there local or regional dispatchers that...

Have you been allowed to do this in the past without being dinged? If so, and there was no notice given to policy change, then you have a precedent to go by and I would call contract relations back. If they won't budge then escalate it. If their policy hasn't previously allowed it, then I would...

I agree. While it will somewhat level the playing field, it will also cause more freight to be shifted onto team vehicles that would previously be done by a solo if the times are tight. The trucking industry as a whole has a huge opportunity here to make the shippers wake up and realize they...

The "word" of the law implies to me that if you are driving non hazmat you are still performing a duty for the carrier and should at the very least be logging it as being on duty and most truthfully should be logging it as driving, that way there is proof that the driver had proper off duty rest...

LOL! yeah, you did your research alright.:rolleyes: A first poster telling everyone on a public forum that they don't care if they run overweight. I just can't decide if you're serious or you're a troll.
