    New Jersey mandates snow-free vehicles

    When the snow needs removing we should call the Gov's office, let HIM crawl up there an do it. They've been talking about this for years now, I really didn't think they'd be stupid enough to pass it

    Questions to ask before accepting load

    We put the P/U and Delivery addresses into the computer and figure the actual miles. We then use a spreadsheet and we put in actual miles, loaded pay/miles, DH pay/miles, any extra pay (layover etc). Our owner has provided us with the fixed costs for running our truck so we can figure out...

    Driving our "oversized" load into NYC

    Streakin, Hat's off to you and your co-driver. I hate doing city streets in a straight truck, I can't even imagine an oversize. A few years ago, one trip to NYC in a T/T was enough for me. :eek:

    Like this? Bugsy has to get his "round the field" ride everytime we're home. When Steve moves the bike out of the shelter, Bugsy is right there waiting LOL Linda is right, many times Bugsy gets the attention, and we are chopped liver LOL

    A fond fare well to Tri-State

    We are not owners, we are drivers, but I would think that as a business owner it would be more as Dave said and not the other way around.

    Bacon

    I'm with Jammin on this one! I LOVE bacon, and when I cook it, it's at least 3lbs at a shot. Did I mention I LOVE bacon? When we have BLT's, it's BACON, lettuce and tomato. :D I will have to try Linda's suggestion, because that sure would be cheaper.

    GPS Causes Bridge Crashes

    Don't be scared Slo....just very observant ;) Moose, I agree, NY needs to put the actual bridge height, that would solve quite a few problems. As far as "blaming" the GPS? It's just like the every other issue, no one wants to take responsibility for their own actions!

    dogs

    Yes, I have waited outside a shipper or receiver because they don't allow pets but that is few and far between. I will make that sacrifice to have our dog with us. He's been in the truck since he was 7 weeks old, and he's the most well mannered dog we've ever had. I do agree with what Guido...

    Cranky Dispatchers

    Sign me up :D Luckily we've had very little trouble with dispatch. When we've had issues, it's been with general and not elite. I'm not saying that one is better or worse than the other, but I have to wonder if it's because general probably has a larger volume to deal with? Maybe Dave could...

    New Advance Policy

    If you're making a profit, then running like that is fine, but if you're losing money on those short runs then it would be better to sit. We've taken lots of short loads, but the bottom line is whether it pays or not.
