    QC and the Cold

    I wet my Garmin suction cup to keep it stuck to the dash disc

    QC and the Cold

    I've noticed a slow Qualcomm startup during cold like we're now experiencing, but after a short warmup period of a few minutes, mine has always worked normally. My machine is several years old so perhaps the newer models react differently

    You know you're from California if:

    That's pretty reminiscent of my four years living in California.

    Cool Person

    This test is based on how cool you were in High School--what crowd you ran with, etc., but it's still pretty accurate. You may want to send it to your friends to see if they've changed. SEE IF YOU ARE A STILL A COOL PERSON: http://www.elks590.org/main/cooltest.htm

    Mixing Tires

    It seems to my non-sixwheeler brain that you should always have two of the same milage on each wheel. A new and an old tire will likely give you the same effect as the older tire reacting like it was under inflated. No?

    Looking for input on building a C-unit

    Joe: It's hard to imagine you'd sell one of the best looking Sprinters in the fleet. Don't forget to put an ad in the free classifieds and let us know when the sale begins.

    Favorite Truck Stop & Eating Place

    Waffle House...Now that's fine dining. Pork Chops; Eggs and scattered, smothered, covered, chunked, diced and peppered. Mmmmmm. TGI Fridays has a great pecan crusted chicken salad. Ruby Tuesday runs a close second with their grilled chicken salad. And lest I forget, Rene's cooking is among...

    War protesters and our modern Vietnam

    I saw a political cartoon this morning wherein a soldier reading a letter from home said to his comrade-in-arms, "Our congress sends their non-binding support" A rather sad but true commentary!

    truck specific gps hardware

    I can't vouch for the truck friendliness, clearance-wise, of the Garmin dash mounted products, my Garmin c340 has features that differentiate car, truck, motorcycle, toll, bus and non-paved routes. When in auto mode, foe example, I am routed to parkways. When in truck mode, I am routed around...

    One mad cat

    The dispatch situation, that you folks describe occurring at Panther, probably happens at every Qualcomm equipped carrier with two or more trucks. Consider the following example that has happened to many, if not all of us, at FedEx Custom Critical. I have felt your pain many times. You've...

    6 weeks in and deeply disillusioned

    Welcome to the EO forum, and welcome to expediting. It's often difficult to provide concise comments on some posts here because of the belief by many posters that their truck dealers and carriers should remain a secret. It is no secret that every advertiser and sponsor frequently visits the...

    Liberal?

    A popular bar had a new robotic bartender installed. A fellow came in for a drink and the robot asked him, "What's your IQ?" The man replied, "150." So the robot proceeded to make conversation about Quantum physics, string theory, atomic chemistry, and so on. The man listened intently and...

    Hours Of Service & driver retention dilemmas

    As Leo alludes, Federal regulators and carriers alike require log books that show a 10/10 drive/sleep cycle rather than the more desired 5/5/5/5. In order to operate in any manner that is not consistant with the regulations, drivers either maintain multiple log books, perform hurry-up log...

    How many of us are hauling at reduced rates and if

    RE: How many of us are hauling at reduced rates an Rollin' You might try being a bit more specific with your own situation if you want folks to SHARE their personal info with you. If you had said: I am an (owner/operator)(driver) with ABC Expedite and averaged $x.xx in a (B)(C)(D)(E) truck...

    Scales???

    Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and any Port of Entry. No longer required in Kentucky since they joined IFTA. Just because the sign says commercial vehicles and/or trucks enter scales, doesn't necessarily mean cargo vans. My State of Missouri defines a comm'l vehicle as anything with GVWR or...

    Would you take this load ?

    Right on Greg and nice job displaying your colors. The Purple Promise lives on. Quite often, C, D, and E sized trucks have the excess capacity to safely and legally handle a few hundred pounds over their carrier's advertised tariffs. Standard cargo vans seldom have reserve capacity. When...
