So Lawrence does that mean you actually understood the post by IRT?

That is how I migrated to my new computer was have a copy on my external hard drive of the files I wanted. I know back up to my hard drive often. I have heard really good things about Carbonite just have not started the service. I agree this is not the best time to buy a new computer but I...

A paid for truck in my opinion is the best truck on the road! One of the problems out here though is almost all companies have a rule on how old a truck can be when signing on. Now once you are on and as long as that truck stays in sound condition you are good to go. That can be a double...

Right now it appears to us to be slower than normal for all companies. Grit your teeth and bear it and let’s hope for a better new year.

Coco, What do you call your creation and can we use your screen name on the recipe?

Jim you are such a fun pain the behind!! And that is on topic!!

Why do you think this issue had not been brought up time and time again and at this point FedEx does not see the value of an automated system. It had been mentioned many times about the issues brought up by the Panther council and Panther makes no changes. FedEx and Panther are the same...

The difference from running 55 and 60 cannot save you hours in delivery time. Load miles is 550 miles and you average 55 mph the load will take ten hours to deliver, if you run 60 mph the load will take you approximately nine hours and 14 minute which is a savings of about 45 minutes. Load...

Slow in MIN also and COLD!!

There are two different things you need to know and do. First you need to know your cost per mile (CPM) to run the truck. The OOIDA worksheet is a good start and then tailor the spreadsheet to meet your needs. When you get a load opp look at the bottom line which is your total miles and...

Our customers also log on and see where we are at but that polling can be several miles off.

That middle of the night trek can be tough as well as first thing in the morning! Here is some of what I like though: I love the cool crisp air on my face and a nice warm coat I am wearing. I like the warm mittens, scarves and hats for winter I enjoy the crisp nights and the great sleeping...

I found this info on the State of Colorado Chain Regulations: WHERE CAN I CHAIN-UP? Trucks placarded for Flammable, Combustible, or Explosives may pass the chain-up signs and install their chains where the pavement is covered by snow or ice, at a safe location outside the traveled...

Now Jim we all know you are a wise.....!!! Just wanted to make sure no one thought we were sending text messages on our phones back and forth while driving or for that matter using the C-Link while driving.....

Jim what do you mean text messaging info?

In Express we have hit this same situation from time to time where chemists were on the dock as we were pulling in to take our barrels test them and get them out on the line. The coordination between us, FedEx and the customer has more than once enabled the customer to not shut down a line...

Some of the messages need to be streamlined and yes a few drive us nuts! I would like to see a departure macro on some shipments. If you call in and get the automated system why not let the driver send these messages on QUALCOMM? When you are entered you messages and you have a problem you...

We recently learned this tidbit of information so thought we would share: You can run chains when hauling flammables or explosives. We were sure glad to learn this as we prefer to keep going then to pull over.

As a former mechanic who also did tires, the best solution I had was to wrap the tools in a shop rag, lay a clean mud flap on the floor, and use utmost care. I know how hard it is to keep wheels looking good, and those who care enough to work that hard need special attentoin.

You are right I have to chuckle at most of the new posts but yours did make me laugh out loud! Good One Jim!!!
