    Electronic Logs

    We just had an experience that might be of interest to those on electronic logs. Weigh Station US-97 near Bend, OR We were pulled in for a paperwork check and the officer wanted to see our logs. No big deal, we're on electronic logs, but the officer refused to come out to the truck to look at...

    Fog

    Tonight I'm driving I-88 in NY and it's foggy as heck! I'm slowed down to about 40mph with 4 ways on because it's soupy enough that a about a 1 1/2 truck lengths is all I can comfortably see. All of a sudden I see headlights pop out of the fog behind me, and it turns out to be 5 super truckers...

    Canada Do you ever want to say....

    I'm never crossing the border again? Actually. I cleaned up that statement because, after all, this is a family friendly forum. We get to the pickup, find out that dispatch has forgotten to inform us that the pickup time has changed from 11am to 2pm. Ok, fine, we get loaded about 1pm. Fax the...

    GPS Systems

    Does GPS routing software have low clearance information? Right now we don't have GPS, we just use Microsoft Streets and Trips and check the motor carrier atlas for clearances. I was just wondering if it was worth getting a GPS unit. We are in a 13'6" straight truck.

    Can anyone tell me

    Can anyone tell me why there's a limit to how many times you can check the Macro 8 (suggested reposition) with Panther? Also, why is it limited to a 300 mile radius from where you're located at the time? I just don't get it! The VRU was so much better!

    Qualcom and Panther

    For the last 3 days we've been having issues with our Qualcom going into the "we've lost you" mode and dropping both of us to line 4 on our logs. Are any other Panther drivers having this trouble? We called and they were suppose to be checking into it, but we haven't heard anything. This is a...

    Newbie Question

    This was mentioned in a previous post: The number of trucks in an area compared to the number of loads that might go outof that area in a specific period of time. How do you find out this information? We are just the drivers, not the owners so does that make a difference as to what information...

    Ateam

    Thank you for the excellent information you've provided to us (Nightshift & Pelicn). It was nice meeting you and your wife at the truckshow and putting a face to a name. We were able to talk to FedEx and to Landstar at the show so now it's compiling a list of more questions to ask each.
