Thanks Ellen and Dave.

Good idea, I have a grease gun and have been using the Motorkote grease. I'm going to check out the arctic grade grease.

Thanks, I didn't know they make an arctic grade grease. I'll definitely get it changed out, because I'm certain the problem is that the cold turns the grease to glue.

When I was doing drive-away, never did the tow-away thing, I made a connection with Ft.Wayne Auto Auction to return lease vehicles to them. It worked to get paid both directions, but it's not an easy way to get rich. :)

Just saw this link in a 'Women in Trucking' newsletter. Welcome to ON-LIFT Pneumatic Tractor/Trailer Systems I have an electric tarp motor that runs mine, but it doesn't work well in the cold weather. This might be a good option. I also like the fact that, if necessary, you can bypass the...

It's the carrier's portion of the CSA (they deleted 2010) score. If I were looking to change carriers I'm thinking that I would check out this information about prospective carriers. It provides information on all carrier wide inspections done over the last 24 months. I wouldn't want to...

This is the link to check out carrier scores. All you need is DOT or MC number. http://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/SMS/Default.aspx

I knew you were a drinker :p

Linda, you may find that gallon water jugs can replace cones while you are practicing.

Isn't that a new cover Cheri? :(

I'm with you, Phil, about the goofy deliveries where they don't expect us. What got me about this one was that the 2 who were at work had no idea where everyone else was. The plant schedule was to work from 0800 to 1200. Whoops :eek:

I was scheduled to deliver at 0800, yesterday, got to the customer about 0730. All three gates were locked, no sign of any cars, no guard shack. About 0745 a guy rides up on a bicycle, unlocks the gate for the employee parking lot, and goes into the building. At 0800 there had been no more...

In Toledo, out of service. Had cataract surgery yesterday on right eye, left eye will be done on Monday. Whoo hoo!! Already seeing better than I have for the last 50 years. :p

Merry Christmas Rodney and Sindy. Glad you are members of the EO family. :D

I grew up and learned to drive in Seattle. When I moved to IN and went to escorting oversized loads I had to tell my driver that I had only driven in snow twice in my life. What a fun way to get educated, chasing houses out of a lake effect area. :eek:

Both of the accidents that I've been involved in, one a fatality, there was no inspection done. The state troopers in both cases, WV and MO, didn't even want to see my log book. The most recent one put 6 points on my CSA 2010, when the motorcyclist rode into my truck. (He didn't see it.) I...

:D Hey there Cheri 1122, it's your day!! Enjoy yourself :p

I thought we park side by side so the signs can't be seen. :p I think of the Expo as the family reunion and MATS as the first sign of spring. (And a great shopping opportunity!!) ;)

Just wanted to thank everyone for their support. Despite the lack of a permit, we did convoy. Okay, if it had taken place after dark you would have thought we were looking for parking places. We circled the T/A parking lot. :p We didn't get pictures of all the trucks lined up. But here is...

For those of you that missed the announcement that the convoy is changing to a sit-in, Expediters Online.com - The Expedited Freight Information Center. The party in the parking lot is going to go all day. I've heard that some are saying it's cancelled completely. That is untrue. Cindy is...
