CSA 2010 in either going to be a companies and drivers worst nightmare or their best friend. The drivers are now going to be rated and that rating will follow you from company to company and you as a driver can help or hinder a companies score. From what I have seen drivers with a good score...

Bob is speaking from his experience as a mechanic for many years on many different types of trucks.

Bob also wrote an article about this subject earlier this year: Expediters Online.com - The Expedited Freight Information Center

I called Pre Pass and found out more details on what licensed Hazmat actually entails. If your company has Alliance for Uniform Hazmat Transportation Procedures you do not have to stop at the scale in Ohio. Check your permits and see if you have this form. If you do not have this form you...

aileron this is where a network of contacts can come in very handy for you! When we were first starting we had contacts of other trucks that were very similar to us and we used them for advice. We would often take that load to the middle of no where for to low of money but we found that if...

Jim all I can say to the above work on trying to eat two bacon sandwiches is now I know why you are so darn skinny!

Molly has many endorsements to her credit! She has traveled extensively in this country and in Canada and she has saved our behinds a few times with her manners. People will get to talking to her and forget all about us! I know for a fact that many people recognize her before they recognize...

Good post! There is so much negative press about truck drivers we feel that anything we can do to show there is another side to trucking we try to do. Sometimes not getting paid for everything you do can you further down the road then always asking for compensation.

I am going to try that Greg when we go home for Thanksgiving since I do not have a pan I want to drill a hole in. I believe I cook a lot more at a time then Jim can in the microwave.

Pre Pass Site : Wyoming Bypass Restrictions Oversize/overweight (even permitted loads) Livestock loads

We are a straight truck and we still have the same questions when we are offered a load. The first question is what does the load pay ALL miles and by all miles I want to know from out last delivery to the delivery on the load offered. Where will we be when we deliver this load? Are we going...

Greg someone else was just telling me about the idea to cook the bacon on the grill but they went one step further. They have a cast iron skillet only used for bacon and they drilled a hole in the pan to keep bacon drained while cooking. He said he has been doing it that way for years and like...

If you have Pre Pass you can look at each state on the Pre Pass Map and find out if you need to stop or not when you have a green light: Alabama Here is what the site says for Ohio: Bypass Restrictions Oversize/overweight (even permitted loads) Unlicensed Hazmat Here is what...

I do not do 30 to 40 minutes for bacon! That does not sound like fun Jim which is why my bacon is usually a clumped mess! I like really crisp bacon and have found my best luck is to just do it all in a pan and get it over with.

Happy Birthday Ken! Hope you have a spectacular day!

Did I mention I HATE to cook bacon so even one pound of bacon tries my patience to no end. I also really like bacon and I have been pleased with how well this bacon has lasted and also the flavor. I will be doing this again next time we go home!

Real trucks have freezers! Are you trying to tell me you do not have one?

Buying precooked bacon is expensive but it is really convenient to heat up in the truck. I am not going to cook bacon in the truck as I think the smell would linger for days on end. I was listening to a show a few months ago and the host came up with for me the perfect solution. Last time I...

aj1313 I will give the standard reply. Read Read Read all of the forums back as far as you can. You will find that it is harder for a solo to make it in expediting and even harder for a solo, non O/O to make it in a van. Another thing you will find as you read is we are most often in the big...

I do not know Greg as Molly has always used Frontline and we have never had a problem.
