Oh Boy.. I`ll make a stab at it. To start with They established a benchmark fuel price of about $1.20 per gallon (price before it spiraled out of control) Then when the pump price average has increased for a 30 day period,a sur charge is put on each customers bill.This is calculated to give the...

Would someone please explain to me exactly why Co A would be better for a "Solo"than co B? It seems to me the limitations for a solo is strictly in abiding with the rules of service. Are you saying co A will dispatch a driver that would have to run illegal?

HOW DO YOU BLOCK THEM,WHEN THEY USE A DIFFERENT SENDER AND SUBJECT EVERY TIME...(yes I am shouting)

Got mine from a junk yard for $80. Or you can check out BENTZ for new. Have no idea how much they charge. http://www.bentzusa.com/catalog.asp?CATID=161

PJ`s Body & Welding has been an installer of Qualcomm equipment since 1989. They make the kind of stand you describe. I believe it was about $90 about 3 years ago(last time I was there) They are in Canton Oh,but I believe they also have a location in the Detroit area. You can call them at...

I hope you guys are non smokers with those gas fumes that are inevitable from this set up.Plus,I don`t know what the DOT would have to say. I had a setup like this at one time,but gave it up for the issues I just mentioned. I bought the most secure gas can I could find ($80.)but still the fumes...

Two more names Come to mind. Joe Roman For his early web site. George McDonald (GEO) For his LO/TS guide. Special mention should go to the inventor of the Qualcom.When I started (6 mo before QC) we had to call in every 4 hours.Some fun when your time came while running across Chicago.

I was flagged down by a four wheeler going the opposite direction. He asked if I would wait while he went home for a package.He had traffic stopped behind him while I explained we had nothing to do with that division. He was still scratching his head,and looking at my signs as I drove away...

Recently my Granddaughter had her wedding reception on top of Lookout Mountain in Ga. I made reservations for RV space at the Cloudland State Park for a space for a motor home less than 40'. They said nothing when I arrived in my 33' C truck. My stay was wonderful. Electric hookup. (I have...

Before you buy that used truck,be sure to narrow down your choice of co to lease on with. All the good co advertise here on EO. Different co have policies on the age of the truck. Some will give you a letter of intent,so you can be sure they will accept the age of truck.

I recently spent some time with my filthy rich brother-in-law in Chicago. (He retired at age 46 with his millions) He said one of the things most discussed at the daily Country Club golf round is how difficult it is to get and keep OTR drivers. The best and most experienced are grabbing those...

>What I do is when the truck is going to be in theshop for a >couple of days is too have Green change the shut off time to >one minute. Do you remember the time when we could change the shutoff time ourselves? Don`t know why they ever changed it.

I am for that 50 ft rule. Too many times I/we nearly gag when entering a building. Employees and others think they have to be as close to the door for their smoke breaks. (there goes another five bucks)

Well once again I missed out on the show. I always think I am going to get a "killer run"while all of you are at the show. (didn't work) Oh well, the hats wouldn't fit over the bag anyway.
