    Panther and Paperless Logs

    We were suppose to be started on this paperless log yesterday, but so far, no message that they "turned it on" Needless to say, I'm keeping my mouth shut, maybe they'll forget about us. ;) The mileage thing is going to be a pain because the QC doesn't match the odometer. Figuring out...

    team couples

    We love driving as a team! :) When we do have that occasional arguement we laugh about how "zipping the curtain" just doesn't have the same effect as slamming the door. }>

    On the road with wireless internet service

    We have the Verizon aircard, and it's driving me crazy! The signal drops when were on major interstates in the east, and out west it's spotty enough that it just isn't worth the irritation sometimes. When we got the card we asked about roaming, they said it wouldn't connect if we were in a...

    Panther and Paperless Logs

    We argued this point at orientation. The regs say you can use the vehicle as a personal vehicle but the logs dept says it's company policy to log all time behind the wheel. So....we'll get dinged on it, because I'm not going to be stuck for weekend somewhere and not be able to go to Walmart or...

    How many alias's does one need and why????

    Turtle said : I see a lot of replies to unfamiliar posters that have a wary, almost "who are you?" feel to them, as if the poster is not to be trusted enough to feel at home here unless they bare their sole first in an introduction. That comes dangerously close to clique-ish, and it's something...

    How many alias's does one need? Mike and Cyn I'm not an alias for anyone, I just don't post very often. A wise person once said something to the effect "you learn more by listening than by talking"

    Paul56, You said: "In any case, back to the topic at hand... A good team is one that has the courage to accept a challenge even when they lack all the knowledge and facts and to get the job at hand done in spite of this. A good team also recognizes when they are in over their heads and need...

    Newbie Question

    This was mentioned in a previous post: The number of trucks in an area compared to the number of loads that might go outof that area in a specific period of time. How do you find out this information? We are just the drivers, not the owners so does that make a difference as to what information...

    Making a home in a box

    After reading this thread, I went and purchased an electric tea kettle. (I had been heating the water in the microwave) I tried it this evening just to heat water to wash a few dishes, and I was shocked at how fast that water heated up!! Thanks for all the neat ideas that have been posted.:) :)

    Team Truckin' Wanna-be's

    If the only trucking you are considering is Expediting in a straight truck, (Class B CDL) then save yourselves the headaches/expense of getting tractor trailer training. Most CDL mills (commercial driving schools) are in it for the money. The community college route is usually cheaper, but will...
