    New Jersey mandates snow-free vehicles

    Steven3b: What kind of vehicle do you drive and how long have you been an expediter? I'd also like to know if you have a CDL and if so, how long have you had it? Maybe I missed something in this new law but I wonder what the height limit is in regards to the snow & ice build up before the...

    So glad that you're doing well! Keep running those wheels off your truck & you'll have to buy a new replacement soon. :) Other than the extra $$$$, how do you like running team? The boys musve forgotten to mention seeing you. I bet it surprised them when you said something to them about...

    I am the same way turtle. When I witness this kind of stuff, I immediately ask for the manager and file a complaint in front of the offending party.

    A fond fare well to Tri-State

    Let us all ".....let sleeping dogs lay...", I think that's how the saying goes. In other words, let's drop the whole thing. I stand behind what I said....nothing's going to change it. I will not say anything else on this subject for various reasons. I truely meant it when I wished dragonlady &...

    Winter, straight truck starting problems Hino specifically

    At one point, I thought it was the 'junk' batteries that came with the truck. I changed them out & put marine batteries in all the trucks. Didn't seem to make any difference.

    A fond fare well to Tri-State

    I do NOT need to do or say anything to 'gain favor' with anyone in this world. People will think & say what they choose to about me & everyone else in this world....it's a fact of life and no big deal to me. My reputation and hard work speaks for itself. I have strong moral & work ethics and...

    Winter, straight truck starting problems Hino specifically

    Great suggestion but unfortunately I've found that even my brand new HINO's have the same starting problem when it gets real cold out. It seems to be one of the 'bugs' that toyota needs to get out and make better.

    What Type of Vehile Do You Drive For Expediting?

    I had a 2005 HINO with a 76" sleeper that had a few perks. Just traded it in for a '09 with a 96" custom sleeper that has an office. Instead of having a sink & all that stuff, I have a mini office in its place with a small desk, shelves, built in file cabinets. Now I'm able to run my fleet and...

    Bacon

    Great suggestion Linder! I, too, am one of those bacon lovers. I could down a pound of it in one sitting and go back for more. Nothing I love better than a bacon bagel sandwich with cream cheese. I have no patience to stand there and fry bacon so I've learned the quick way: spray a cookie sheet...

    Winter, straight truck starting problems Hino specifically

    Normally, the warranty on these HINO's are 3 yr unlimited mile warranty...which is why I own them. You can call a HINO dealer & give them the VIN # on your truck and ask them to look up the warranty for you. They'll be able to give you a list of what warranty is left on which part. For...

    Need some info on Tri State and Panther

    Uuuhhhhhh I have no idea where you get your information from BUT just because Tri-State is a small, privately owned company it doesn't mean that they aren't as financially sound as one of the bigger carriers. In fact, did it ever occur to you that maybe Tri-State is BETTER financially sound than...

    A fond fare well to Tri-State

    What this says about Tri-State is that they still stand by and uphold their strong morals and ethics and will NOT kowtow to someone's unethical and outrageous demands and wanting special privilages. For this, Tri-State deserves a standing ovation!!! :)

    Winter, straight truck starting problems Hino specifically

    These HINO's tend to be cold blooded. When the temp gets down to 20 or lower, they tend to have a hard time starting if they're not plugged in or in a warm garage. It does help tremendously to keep the diesel fuel additives in the fuel. For some reason, this helps the trucks to start easier when...

    BRUNO: you are correct when saying that dispatch has notes on your vehicle concerning whether or not you have a pet, special equipment (lift gate, pallet jack, etc), whether or not you'll do canada or NYC, plus a whole lot more. AND, once again, you are correct when you said that you might not...
