    Warning GM STRIKE

    The last GM plant I delivered to was Lordstown and that was well over a year ago. Come to think of it, that was probably the last auto plant that I have delivered to, not counting Oshkosh Truck. I may have delivered to some GM suppliers though. Panther doesn't do much automotive freight. At...

    Terminated from trucking! Next step?

    You're broke and want to buy a straight truck? Get yourself a Sharpie, a piece of cardboard and find an unclaimed off ramp somewhere.

    I had the opportunity to subject my Transit to the WOM waterproofing test Tuesday afternoon. I passed and the South Dakota State Patrol gave me a window sticker rating my Transit waterproof to 5 ATM. . . .

    Thanks WOM! Keep us updated on the performance. Are these Load Range E? Did you use an old tire for a spare or is the POS OEM spare still hanging down under?

    Cargo Van Need to make money to fix this

    Back in the day expediters with conventional vans often got a retro-fit roof like a Turtle Top to increase interior headroom. Looks like the opposite is trending. Buy a mid or high roof van and convert it to a low roof van.

    Hino FD 2008

    The first thing I would check is the fuses or circuit breakers. If those are good then it could be a short somewhere in the wiring to the door. BTW, how's that large brass horn working for you?;)

    DOT physical

    "Decent" is rather subjective. My personal belief is, if you drive for a living you should be able to pass a D.O.T physical.

    No walls where I was. Just trees, water and an occasional boundary marker. .

    The Trump Card...

    Pharma companies that make Narcan are making a killing but ironically that killing (financial) is by saving lives. My son is a cop. His PD has had Narcan available to all officers for several years. He has revived some opioid ODers more than once. So I guess Narcan is as addictive as...

    Is it worth the money crossing into CANADA?

    I didn't like the fact that I had to pay to get back into my own country.

    Is it worth the money crossing into CANADA?

    It depends on your carrier. I let my FAST card expire. Panther at one time added a $90 border crossing bonus. I was tempted, but after a brief heated debate with myself, I decided against it. I do miss running Winnipeg. With my first carrier if I wasn't loaded the next day I got paid to move...
