I am in my third BENTZ sleeper.Have never had a ground wire problem.Sounds like AB just cant get it right.

The "Hook" is one of the best out there.Just be sure to park in line of sight to the antenna.If your wireless card has a connection for a remote antenna it will greatly increase your range.

We have been observed twice by these observers. In both cases we were followed down the road for a few miles.They gave us an ok for speed, following distance, etc. Both times in Ohio. This is nothing new. My father talked about being checked back in the 40`s and 50`s.In those days it was...

I had a simular go-around with a inexperianced/inept dispatcher mon night.I was called to take two skid off a broken down truck,then take it to LEX and transfer to another truck.I asked the weight if it could be moved by the drivers.Answer was yes.Got there,found truck height missmatched by...

For those of us fortunate enough to have large inverters this works great.I use my coffee pot after a few min of heating the water the pour spout directs the water right where I want it.I also keep two locks(keyed alike).Because the tumblers can load up with road salt,I soak one in really hot...

Wow...While surfing the channels I came across a picture of a FECC truck being loaded at a NASA site.I belive it was the Ames Research Lab.A crate was being loaded contaning the bones of a T-Rex.Aparently NASA has the equipment to examine the bones. Any one know who handeled the load?

A long time ago FECC sent out a memo with complete instructions on the use of PARS.As far as I know they never sent any thing on PAPS.I sent them an E-MAIL about the big fines being handed out.They wanted to know if I was the one being fined,if so they wanted it to be sent in so they could...

I suffered for years with this problem when I ran International 4900`s.Now I have a FL M2 and it is amazing how much leg room,and adjusment is availaible for different size drivers.I an 8"taller than my co-driver so this is inportant.

Do you ever purchase fuel on Induian reservations.They sell fuel free of many taxes others charge.I have purchased many times over the years and have found it to be satisfactory.I have never encounterd Red color,as in other untaxed fuel.The price is allways 10 to 15 cents less than other nearby...

Excelent post Tom...Your remarks could be a model for a good contract.Just leave a space between each paragraph,and insert what is expected of each party. In addition to the advise for both partys to have a attorney.A credit check will often reveal a lot.These are easy to arange online,and...

One of the threads on EO regarding ALL TYPES... http://www.expeditersonline.com/dcforum/DCForumID2/1007.html I notice on their web site they do not go to Canada or Mexico. As to why they no longer advertise on EO.Only Larwence or All-Types know for sure.

One of the things that makes me nuts in NYC, (and all of NY state),is the low overhead signs.If I understand correctly they are posted 12"less than actuall. Unless the sign is market "Exact Height". Proceding with a 12`8" truck under a posted 12`3"is something else.I have waited for a local semi...

Wouldnt it be great if we could have "Dual"washer systems.Then we could fill one resivor with regular,and the other with Hi Test.

what i always did was check >my miles and speed so they never went over the speed so was >always 52 mph Company log auditors also give greif if speed averages do not vary over a period of time. In my companys case they run up a red flag if your speed average in a five day period does not...

I live in Ohio also. You could be worse off in some of the suronding states.Indiana for example socks you with a personal property tax in addition to those you have listed.Also their vehicle registraton fees are much higher.

Yes I have heard on other forums this speeding violation can be written from your logs.I have tried to tell my co-driver this when she just writes down the name of a town she sees on an exit sign.Some times the town can be 50 miles away.This can throw your logs way off.So far we have allways...

> O/O told >me that I need a nationwide cell phone with 2000 minutes >minimum. My guess is that this O/O is going to be calling you all the time.I am sure a lot of this is necessary because of his investment.It can however be a pain when you need your sleep.
