Does you shaking happen at a certain speed? While braking? Does the shaking happen all over the truck, through the seat of the truck, or through the steering wheel?

Joe once again I will ask break down the .85 cents a mile? Was it all miles to pay? How did the actual load pay? How many dead head from delivery to layover miles were there? How any miles from layover to pickup were there? I agree the load would be horrible but in reality are the...

leezaback I have not seen a load like you describe even for a van. Are you in a van? Does the amount you say include dhpl, dhpu, run and fuel surcharge? I am curious to what the actual run paid and what the weight is for the load? It seems like a bad quote or possibly sent out wrong.

Re: OOPs, Typo-s I have thought about this post and I have thought back over the years of drivers I have talked with. There are no complaints about the company, they pay on time, they answer the phones, they give guidance when needed, their loads are available to the driver to make a...

Fall is typically a very busy season for us and I know we are asked to not go out of service if we can keep from it usually starting in September and continuing through December. We sure have no complaints on the freight rates we have been seeing.

FedEx pays FSC on all dispatched miles and they pay a percentage of tolls on dispatched runs. The key to decide whether to accept or decline a load is to look at the pay and look at the miles. If the pay is high enough to meet your requirements for pay per mile or what you need for day pay...

That is so exciting for you and I am sure you are very proud parents. Congratulations! I know the pride and amazement I feel when I watch our girls do something special that I could never have accomplished or have been that good. I look at them and wonder where in the world did they get...

Bob clarified that we have not been running the tires 5 years it is closer to 4 years. The tread depth gauge is used often on our tires and the tire wear indicated we would reach the 600,000 mile mark. Our wear rate per 15,000 miles indicated we would get should get close to the 600,000. We...

Phil there is not a perfect tire on the market. Each has plusses and minuses. The fuel mileage we see with our wide based singles far out weigh carrying chains to fit the tires. The automatic chains weigh way less then the throw chains. That is an old post on the winter Canada issue...

We have been running wide base singles for approximately five years. No problems. We have them on our drives as well as our pusher axle. When we bought this truck we exchanged the duals the truck came with for wide base singles. We run Michelin XOne XDA Energy We run the Pressure Pro...

That is a nice web site... Good Job! I hope we can be there.

I do not know of any companies that allow guns in a truck and as a truck owner we would not have a gun in the truck with the laws the way they are. We also go to Canada and I believe that is a felony charge having a weapon in the truck.

FedEx has the same policy NO GUNS. I also wish we could carry our guns for a different reason. Bob and I like to shoot clay pigeons and i am learning target shooting. It would be a great past time.

I think a gun is a gun...
