TA/Petro offering free mid trip inspections on trucks as well as trailers. CVSA Road Check June 4th through the 6th. If you are wondering about being compliant stop by a TA or Petro for a free inspection. Inform the truck service advisor that you would like a free mid trip inspection using...

Convoy Time! Lawrence will there be a certain parking area or reserved area for those that register for the convoy? When we attended the Make A Wish Convoy in Lancaster, PA there areas for those that just wanted to be a part of the convoy and special parking up front for those that raised the...

I am still struggling with you taking a break on the fuel island as who are you trying to teach a lesson? Why not stop on a DOT Scale as that is who you are trying to teach a lesson. The truck stop and your fellow drivers did not create this problem. I would rather spend my time trying to...

Moose that is horrible idea... I hope I am never behind you at the fuel island. Really that is a HORRIBLE idea for the drivers that pull in behind you. Why would you want all the other drivers to suffer for this 1/2 hour rule?

Jeff thanks for coming on over to the Expediter Side! There is almost always great discussion over topics like you have brought up.

Really I cannot imagine using the Pressure Cooker going down the road. Cooking while going down the road seems like a recipe for disaster if the truck has to stop fast. What I like about the Rice Cooker is that I can cook something pretty quickly once we stop compared to a slow cooker...

The electric pressure cooker I was looking at sure did not look like the pot my Grandma used. I am not sure why bouncing down the road would affect the pot. I believe that to open the pot the steam must be released by squeezing the handle. The research continues!

The 1/2 hour cannot be used when fueling according to the HOS. For everyone that is NOT paying cash for their fuel be aware of the time stamp. The time stamp is not on the fuel ticket it is on the T-Chek transaction. This will be one of the first things that will be looked at when an audit is...

We have not used a TripPak box for awhile now and I do not miss them.... It has been fantastic to scan our bills after we finish a load and we are done with it. When excepting some loads I consider the hassle factor and at times this can increase our rate. In the case of TripPak and...

I am wondering also as it looks like we have to buy them from QC and not run down to our local scanner shop and get one or even use one we all ready own.

Jeff Clark, Team Run Smart Pro wrote a blog about supply and demand that I found interesting and I wanted to share the link: Team Run Smart Pro: Jeff Clark What do you think of the idea of reduced HOS?

Re: QRe: Landstar info please Over the years we have watched teasm head on over to Landstar as Expediters or in the truckload divisions. (do not know the correct terms for the divisions). We have listened to their varied approaches on how they presented themselves from creating flyers and...

While at a friends house this past weekend they used an electric Pressure Cooker that caught my interest. The pan inside the cooker was very similar to the pan inside my rice cooker and looked easy to clean. I have never used a pressure cooker and was fascinated by everything they use theirs...

FINALLY - We made it to see the Spruce Goose at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville, OR. Plenty of T/T parking with a lot to see if you are interesting in airplanes or space. Features: Water Park Firearms exhibit Building for modern planes and space Spruce Goose and...

So we do not have a lot of furniture to polish but... I find this site very interesting and next time home I will be trying out this recipe: 1/3 cup water 1/2 tablespoon liquid Castile soap or 1 to 2 tablespoons Murphy Oil Soap 8 drops sweet orange essential oil 4 drops cedar wood essential...

This has been a HOT TOPIC and had heated discussions.... Will bring up at the next meeting as it is very frustrating to all of us. It seems as if most have their QC set to shut off very quickly when parked and so do not even know when locked unless they call in. I agree we should not have to...

There are several interesting books on this subject and the fact that when we say we cannot eat just one chip is true... One of the chemicals in those chips is telling our brains we NEED MORE. The more I read about the twisted science behind some of the food we eat the more I am turning to...

The challenge that concerns me is like you say finding a safe place to park. Planning our day out on where we are going to stop and then hoping nothing goes wrong...

The locks have there purpose but it would sure be beneficial to all of us if they let us know the lock was put on and for what reason. The ability to make a business decision is taken out of hands when a dispatcher decides they know best, place the lock on us, load does not come through, they...

As this date approaches we are working out ways to get the 1/2 break in and how we will approach this. The 1/2 break starts when we go on the clock not when we start driving and we are going to have to think a little further on down the road of where we are going to pull off the road.
