    'nother computer question

    I lost my harddrive last week and the consensus of the Indian Dell Tech and a somewhat savvy friend was that I toasted it while charging its battery with my van's electrical system. I'm using a 375 watt inverter in a power port on the dash. I have no idea if the inverter has any power surge...

    Court rules truckers must be paid OT

    That's an interesting ruling but it only applies to employees of Washington State employers, including motor carriers, but not Independent Contractors. All truckers who report for work in Washington State would benefit from this ruling regardless if they are domiciled or residing outside of...

    HEY VIRGINA ? FEDEX C C!!

    MoonProwler If you don't want to listen to the truth spoken by the C, D, and E folks, you won't like my comments either, but for those that want to hear from an 18 year van owner/operator leased to FedEx Custom Critical, here're some of the simple reasons that freight that you perceive to be...

    Six States Defy Law Requiring ID Cards

    Cost to the states? a staggering $11 billion; cost to each person = $36. I'll pay my share if it will help just a tad. If Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Washington don't want to contribute to the National security for the satisfaction of their respective...

    Airtabs on a van?

    Yes, you could cut the hole and install the vent and later drop in the antenna and hook the wires. If you or your carrier would feel better, some silicone/latex caulk could help maintain the position of the antenna in the hole. I'v seen a couple of slightly different shapes/sizes, but only...

    CDL Hazmat endorsement

    "The TSA has determined that you are a threat to the security of the United States of America" Those were the ominous words in a TSA letter response to Rene's $94 background check request required to renew her CDL. Needless to say, we were alarmed at this bit of news because it meant that she...

    Your best, longest streak of on time service!

    We were once late. We had a Friday p/u in Savannah with a Saturday morning delivery in Huntsville, Al. We didn't make it to the delivery until Tuesday. Our carrier was so happy that we made the delivery that they sent kudos and paid a motel bill. Back around '92-93, we were entering Alabama...

    Airtabs on a van?

    I have a Fantastic Model 6000RBTA and a fanless vent model 900 in the sleeper. The reason for the two in the sleeper is to provide air supply. If you have no vent, you'll need to crack open window. I did that once and woke up with a van full of gnats. For the Qualcomm dome, I used another...

    The question that I was asked just now

    Letz introduced the rollback term. I said it's the total weight, as indicated in my first comment which coincides with the info of your MSP contact. Of course, I was refering to commercial vehicles. You could tow a helocopter and a rollback behind an RV and so long as weight is legal you...

    Airtabs on a van?

    I forgot to bring my tape measure this trip so I can't give you off-the-floor distance, but the base of the QC is about 4 inches above the top of the door opening. No inteference with the freight. No brackets needed because the antenna is supported by the roof.
