Court denies request to block CSA scores from public view "Even though the court has allowed public presentation of the carrier scores, the case will continue with regard to whether the full federal rulemaking standards should apply to the SafeStat replacement." For full story, click link above.

I was able to trace down the lock by looking at the file name on the photo TeamCaffee posted. The product name is Tractor Steering Joint Lock. It can be purchased from Transport Security, Inc. in Waconia, Minnesota (about 50 miles from our house :eek:). View the web site and product here. I...

HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! TEAMCAFFEE! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! for sharing this post. I saw a driver use that steering shaft lock once at a truck stop a few years ago and have been looking for it ever since but with no success. Please tell me you know where to get this thing. I WANT...

OK. I get it now. I don't know how much time the position of alternate board member and board member would require. If it is a lot, that may be the reason why few leased drivers try for it. An own-authority owner operator would have more freedom.

Having read about the candidates, I find it encouraging, not disheartening, that the would-be board members have their own authority. A common theme seems to be that they worked other positions like company driver or leased owner-operator for many years and got their own authority. It's like...

Godspeed, 2sweet. We wish you well.

My heart is open to 2sweet and my guard is up; as always when gifting is done.

I have not been in private contact with 2sweet but am giving him/her the benefit of the doubt. Diane and I offered to buy 2sweet a bus ticket home. Before parting with any money, I would validate the story by verifying home address, employment with 2sweet's carrier and the police report where it...

In the stolen van AND MY DOG thread, TeamCaffee said, "I was thinking of all of the things that we would lose if our truck was stolen or totaled and it is very scary to contemplate." She is right, it is scary to contemplate but also wise to do. When our friends Glen and Janice Rice had an...

Most convenience stores have security cameras inside and in their parking lots. The store may have video of the guy who picked up your keys.

2sweet, I know you have a lot on your mind right now and there is much to sort out. Just know that there are people in the EO community who are willing to help in certain ways if you need it. Don't worry about explaining yourself to spectators. Just do what you need to do and let us know how...

I'm don't get your meaning. What do you mean?

We have an expediter in need. His van has been stolen. His beloved dog is missing with the van. He woke up this morning in a Motel 6 in the Dallas area with "...no JJ (the dog's name) no van no clothes no job no way back to indiana no nothing...." The bus ticket is the easy part. I encourage...

1. Use any mapping program to enter the beginning of your route, your stops and the final stop. Use via points as appropriate to indicate routes you took that are different than the mapping program plots. You may wish to save this map and build a collection. Use file names that will be easy to...

I was unaware of the information also. It's interesting but I do not post to gain ratings. I just share what's on my mind.

You are jogging my memory. What you descirbe as frustration in getting dispatch to confirm to you that the load has been cleared, I included in my comment about triple checking the work others do. Having been burned before, we leave nothing to chance and take nothing for granted. We prefer...

If you need and want a bus ride home, Diane and I will buy the ticket. Private message me with your phone number to make arrangements.

It has not been posted yet. I am having photo editor issues. I'll get it done but other tasks have taken priority.

I would hire a murderer before I hired someone who had been in and out of prison for armed robbery or drug sales a couple of times. The murderer is less likely to re-offend. Of course, it's not an issue at all since years ago, in purusit of a simpler life, I swore off employees.

Check out this thread in the FedEx Custom Critical forum: West Coast Runs Check out this thread in the General forum: West Side Story And my trip maps for a quick visual history of the West Coast runs Diane and I have done in 2010. Note that our truck and team is configured in a particular...
