Yep. You will have to be placed in detention (just like high school). You can count on be passed over (some call it "going around" you) for loads. You will get the shorter run if multiple loads need to be covered and there are several available trucks in the same locality. Of course, all...

I did like you idea about telling a dealer why you are not buying from them. I even go one step further and make it a point to tell other potential customers about the poor quality service at ABC Company and what great service you can get at XYZ Company. Several years ago I had some...

I have always believed that these devices would place adverse operational forces on the wiper system. Before making a purchase I sent my service manager a picture of this device. His reply, "If you come in for warranty work on the wiper system with those installed on your truck, you will be...

If you live in OH, MI, IN or IL and desire to get by the house on a somewhat more regular basis I would suggest Tri State. Landstar is a good organization, but working with brokers can be a difficult adjustment. It definitely takes an investment of time to become a "go to" truck with their...

Recently, I set out to acquire several price quotes. 5 dealers came back at $78-79,000, but one came back at $56,875. Initially, I thought it had to be a mistake. Possibly they had missed some of the options requested. Erring on the side of caution, I had attorney review the documents; he...

Meguiar's Tech Protectrant Go to their web site and take a look at their product line. I have used them for years on my cars, bikes and trucks.

I sent you a Private Message.

Which? What are you driving? Owner/Operator or Fleet Driver?

ehealthinsurance is OK for reviewing various palns, but you can deal with the insurance company directly and save a few bucks per month. ehealthinsurance will tell you that insurance rates are fixed by law and you can not get the policy any cheaper anyplace else. Well, that is true...

Dayton, Ohio - Started shoveling at 8:00 AM. 2" of ice under 6" of snow. I shoveled for 2 hours and it snowed another 2" during that time period. Oh joy! Had to go back over the driveway again. Fired up the Espar full blast and ran the truck defrost of high due to 4" of built up ice...

I'd suggest you sign with a company for at least two years. Reasons: 1. Cost for your operating authority. 2. Time (which is money) when sitting with a DOT officer who conducts a safety review. 3. Additional paperwork in keeping maintenance log required for safety review. 4. Cost to...

And now we return you to our regularly scheduled topic. Let's stay focused on Caterpillar. Thanks folks!

Yeah, stick around. It has always been so much fun to irritate liberals. PS. How did you come to believe there were three kings? Ah, the power music and traditions of men.

I indicated "By Percentage" in the poll, IF and only IF I can get a copy of the Freight Bill, which, of course, the carrier has to provide by law when asked for by the owner/operator.

Thanks for being such a blessing. The vast majority of expediters that I have met do not have a clue as to what is their actual cost per mile. I can't begin to tell you the countless number of times a driver will tell me that they are going to deadhead home and when I ask them how they can...

Anybody who has been an expediter for more than 90 days has probably carried a load from a YRC, ABF, SAIA, AVERITT, etc, terminal. Not quantum leap there, but.... The point is that shippers are looking for ways to cut cost. Better planning via logistics will allow them to schedule those two...

I have calculated the load offers since the change and they are still higher than most other major carriers. Some have posted comments about load offers being sent without a FSC. I have yet to receive any of those and I sincerely hope that is not the case. I agree with previous comment...

As if tractors and straight trucks didn't already have enough competition... HOLLAND, Mich., Jan. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- USF Holland, a subsidiary of YRC Worldwide Inc. , announced today the launch of a new Guaranteed Window Delivery service. With the new service offering, customers...

Goo Gone Cleaners | Goo Gone is the best I have found for removing residue. I have even found it to be excellent for removing residue left behind after peeling off a carrier's graphics.

I actually took the time to speak with a recruiter. Due to the high unemployment in other job sectors folks are looking at the transportation industry. This particular recruiter is getting over 600 applications per week. Based upon that information it may take quite sometime before anyone...
