    Stereotypes exist for a reason.

    The driver in the Pete took the photograph so who is doing traffic control, the Swift driver trainer?

    Garmin Nuvi

    Thanks. Did Garmin solve the time zone issue you had? My 855 was set to eastern time and always stayed on eastern time no matter where I was. I wish my iPhone had an option to stay locked on eastern time. The NuviCam has some nice features and at $400 it should; I can't see spending that...

    If I'm patient enough maybe I can take this relationship to the next level, heavy petting.

    Garmin Nuvi

    I'm looking to replace my ancient Nuvi 855. The on/off slider switch is sticking. Also some of the "keys" on the keyboard stick, different keys at different times. I will replace this unit with another Garmin so any recommendations on which GPS to purchase please keep it to Garmin models...

    I should have stated that my on hold time was waiting for Driver Relations and not dispatch. When I'm on a load I usually get through to dispatch quickly.

    Mechanical stripped oil pan plug mbe906

    If you ran power to it would it work as a glow plug to heat the oil?

    That's the problem. The more the ridiculous, over the top made up stuff that is passed on; the more the actual ridiculous, over the top stuff begins to appear to be ridiculous, over the top made up stuff.

    Exactly, visit truck stops and talk to van owners. Check out several different designs. I built my first van similar to an Alumibunk configuration; curtain behind the front seats, bed and a bulkhead separating the bed from the cargo area. That design lasted a couple of weeks until I could...

    You don't want a 3500 (1 ton) Sprinter. These have dual rear wheels which greatly reduce the inside width at the wheelwells. Any other van, go with the 3500 series. I have a Transit that is long enough to handle 3 skids but only give my carrier 120 inches. I prefer having a bed always...

    Will Hold Time ever improve at Panther?

    In answer to the title of this thread, probably not. YES! (insert fist pump here)

    YES! (insert fist pump here)

    After several years I finally beat my old Panther on hold time record. My previous record was 72 minutes. My new record is 75½ minutes. That's like 1 hour, 15 minutes and 30 seconds. I probably should have tried to push it further but I was exhausted and hung up. The dirge playing in the...

    November to remember and chit chat

    Rock-a-bye... I was being tossed around by wind and rain last night in up in Plymouth. The rain quit but the wind picked up.

    So far this automated toll calculation is working well. Panther's routing and mine are in sync. Last week I incurred $28.57 in tolls and was reimbursed $28.54. I'm not going to sweat the 3 cent loss. When you're making the big bucks like I am, what's a measly 3 cents! All tolls are...
