How do you do transflow straight from the truck?!? My co-driver told me it had to be transflowed. I told him once when i first started that I thought it could be faxed to a number somewhere, and didn't have to be transflowed, but he says it must be transflowed. We've driven 100 miles at times...

OMG!!! That was perfect!!! I've always wondered if there was a pdf version somewhere!!! Very nice to have! Thank you so much turtle!!!

I've gone and screwed my pooch. I have a transflow I need to send, decided I would stop at the truck stop while on my way out of town for the holiday vacation, only I forgot to grab a transflow cover sheet for my paperwork. Now I'm over a hundred miles from the truck and my employee manual...

Another Idea I had, not really an invention as the technology is available, but install ALPR (Advanced License Plate Recognition) cameras on school buses, and have them snap pictures front and rear of every car that passes a school bus when the stop sign is extended, and mail the offenders...

Canada infringed upon us by mandating Daytime Running lights on cars. Automotive manufactures decided it was generally cheaper to make all of their vehicles with DRL's, so next thing we have DRL's. Not that they are always a bad thing, but sometimes i'd like to be able to turn off the lights...

I concur. If it happens. When I was told by a Flying J employee that they as a company don't accept comdata cards or comchecks, I decided I wasn't going there anymore.

I used to be a median stalker, so I will tell you this! GPS is USUALLY more accurate than a vehicle speedometer, but is not accepted in a court of law. Case law dictates that a GPS is not accurate enough to say it is correct. Use your head, use your speedometer, GPS, fixed object & stopwatch...

I invented Satellite Radio. No, seriously. I was straight out of High school when I came up with the idea. I was studying communications & journalism, and I thought to myself that as rx only satellite antennas continued to get smaller that it would be a wonderful advancement to have the ability...

My wife an I are SSI certified divers. I'm the only Panther driver though.

(This is Kat, the first post was Nick) I'm a lot younger than most of you. I was a junior in high school. I remember that I had stayed home sick that day. I had the radio on in my bedroom and they broke into a music set to broadcast the news. I kind of shrugged it off and figured it was a...

I was a manager at FedEx Express at the time. I was at home enjoying my day off. I was still living with my parents, and my entire family save my sister worked for FedEx. My dad worked in the "war room" and was at work at the time. My mom and I both had the day off. When she saw the news about...

What I don't get is the fingerprinting over and over. Pretty sure my fingerprints don't change. Oh well. My fingerprints are on file 5 times now. Twice for TSA, once for the state of TN, and twice for the FBI. All for various security clearances.... And yet I still don't have a DoD clearance...

Technically the Tennessee address is my "permanent" address, because I intend to eventually go back to it. We are in Ohio while my wife finishes school and while we take care of her family for a short while. So Ohio is a permanent-temporary address - we pay taxes in Ohio, held jobs in Ohio, and...

Yes, I have two permanent addresses. One in Ohio, and one in Tennessee. The Tennessee address is where I want on my CDL. When I went to school, they had me get an IN license because that was the state they taught in. Everyone at school had to use the school's address, unless they lived in...

One word, from past law enforcement experience.... LOJACK!!!!!! great fast recovery record, great warranty, not illegal in any state if you own or lease the vehicle, adds resale value, one time up front cost, no monthly fees (although they recommend you get it serviced and checked once...

Yes & No, same school, different location (I got sent to the north even though Indy was closer to me). Yes, I have the original first DOT exam paper. Yeah, USX is close by to me, I'm going to call them and also Roehl, trying also to see if I have any hope of somehow miraculous getting...

I've contacted a few large companies already, still waiting to hear back from them. I've also talked to an individual expediting fleet owner that was interested in me and genuinely seemed interested in helping me out and putting me into a team with an experienced driver in an auto shift straight...

Yeah, I wished I had read around beforehand. Hindsight is 20/20

It was verbal, over the phone, and verbal in person several times, from interview to the first DOT doctor. It wasn't until the company I was supposed to start with, and their own DOT doctor, do I feel like someone even really really listened to me. Everyone acknowledge what I was telling them...
