Found this video on you tube and thought others would like to see the behind the scenes of a weigh station.

Anyone using one of these systems? What is the best out there that is not tied into a security system? What is the cheapest? Looking at possibly getting one of these that will monitor the temperature in the house while I am out on the road. I have people that check on it from time to time but I...

The nat gas revolution begins- MSN Money I noticed one of these filling stations at the J in Gary, IN. Sounds like a good idea to me.

While driving around 1 am Saturday morning I was going thru an area and the posted speed limit was 55. However, when I approached a school zone I noticed the warning lights were flashing indicating it should be 35 mph. Knowing that it was 1am on a Saturday morning in July that something must...

With the thread that was shut down last week there was an aspect of it that got me to thinking. I may be out of the loop as do the big guys use factoring? I would hope not. And I would not work for someone who has to factor to pay me on a weekly basis. This indicates to me the company is...

Besides the obvious EO what is your most viewed web site? I was going to title this "Your favorite web site" but thought for a moment and it may not be your favorite. I seem to be drawn to the weather sites. Before any run I first check the national radar. Look to see if there is any fowl...

Ok here is a poll question for ya. Which state is the best state for expidited frieght? Now please consider ALL factors. Quantity, quality, closeness to home, fuel costs, weather, road conditions and construction, traffic, etc.

Ok, question for y'all. For a sprinter/cargo van what are the rules and regs for hauling haz-mat? I was told we could haul up to 1k#, I have also been told there are no requirements for us. Do we have to placard? if so for any? over a certain amount? Do we then have to scale? I have hauled...

Have I missed something or did I just run into the wrong crowd today? I was driving northbound on I-77 today thru WV. Speed limit is 70mph. Not sure what the minimum is but prolly 45 or 55mph. Anyway, I had my cruise set at 62 just like always (thats the sweet spot) and as most of you know...

Had an unusual situation happen to me today. Wondering what others would do. Please keep in mind I am in a Cargo Van so when you see these numbers you can adjust as per your size. Got a call from load planning and they have a load for me. We will call this load A. It has 70 mile DH. Total run...

This thread is intended mostly for teams that are van or sprinters, but others can comment too. When running as a team on a long run what is better? To switch drivers often or for longer periods of time? We are talking about runs that don't have ample time either, Runs that are hot and you...

Was just curious as to how many still use their CB Radios. I have been doing this since nov/07 and have never come across a situation that I felt I should have had one. I grew up with them in the house in the 70's and couldn't stand them. I would assume they are mearly for entertainment this...

Got home early today and decided to take advantage of the nice weather. Did the normal maintanence. Oil, filter, fluids, tires, etc. Got to cleaning the inside and low and behold stumbled across a passanger. Here was a dead mouse. I remember hearing one time what I thought was a mouse 6-8...

Have you ever had a situation happen to you that makes you think twice? I have again and you just wonder how you walked away with out a scratch. This situation just reafirms my belief that everything you do is taken notice of upstairs. Lets back up to Sunday. I am at a truck stop sitting in...

Was going to respond to it directly when after like 5 tries I realized he had posted it in the fedex section. His post was about a section of us-40 that cuts across between I-70 and I-68 in Maryland. Yes it does save about 30 miles but extremely rough. Up one mountain then down the next...

One of my goals is to become a fleet owner one day. I know right now is not the best time but I am trying to gather as much info before hand as possible for when the time IS right I will be ready. My question is in a fleet, is smaller better or is there safety in numbers? With out...

Don't forget to move your clocks ahead tonight. I love having the sun stay up later. :)

Just curious as to the extent of experience out here on EO. Now, by experience it can ONLY entail expiditing. Do not include other experience in driving no matter what it is. Also not counting the time exploring this business, what I am after is from the time you got behind the wheel and took...

Creating this thread to find out if I am crazy or do others do this as well. I was driving on northbound us-23 this morning at 2:30 am. Went around a sharp bend when all of a sudden there was a car heading at me on my side or a 4 lane devided highway. After it had passed I got on the phone...

Was saddend last night when I heard that Paul Harvey had passed. Paul was one of those few who transended age, race, gender, political affilitiation. He was a true story teller with a voice that was peaceful yet enthroling. I would scan the airwaves to try and find him everyday between 11am...
