Serious accident on US 30 near Columbia City No details on the identity of the Panther driver, undoubtedly because the family hadn't been notified yet, but it is a loss for all of us as well.

BP gasoline recall rattles Northwest Indiana drivers - Page 2 - Chicago Tribune This is mostly of interest to the vanners, but some may have fueled a personal vehicle recently at one of the affected stations, and they should know about it too.

The parts & repair facility located at W 150th & Brookpark Rd in Cleveland, Oh, burned to the ground today. So far, no word on the many trucks parked in the lot, some of which are often expediters.

If you're planning to bring a side dish, dessert, or beverage to the driver's cook out that traditionally ends the Expo, please let the organizers know what to expect in this thread. It might be cool to have all desserts, but we're thinking it really ought to be a little more balanced, sigh. I...

2 days ago, I woke to find my dog Kenzy had passed away. It was unexpected, [she was only 5!], but mercifully very quick - the vet said most likely a stroke, resulting in instant death. I cannot replace her, and won't even try. What I want to do, [and the reason I'm posting this], is volunteer...

Has anyone filed a challenge using the Data qs system? I just did, for a violation on a Level 1 inspection: "left rear axle 2nd tire has wear". Based on that criteria, every tire on every vehicle on the road is in violation, right? :mad: Thanks to CSA's point system, we can't afford to blow off...

Posted in the carrier forum for FedEx is the surprising news of regulations in NYC that require a permit for 'oversize' dimensions, specifically 8ft width. [My truck is near 9 ft wide, counting the mirrors!] Is this being enforced?

One thing on my list that I can't find is the sleeves that slide over a load bar, with slots for Etrack straps on each side. Excellent for securing cargo front to back, or a round container between load bars, but I haven't been able to find them anywhere. I tried Googling various terms & places...

Less than 48 hrs ago, one of my daughter Danielle's coworkers lost almost everything, including a child, in a fire. She and the 4 children who escaped really need a lot of help and prayers right now. The boys are ages 11, 5, & 4, and the girl is age 10. Clothes, books, toys, whatever you can...

A driver friend said that Nations Express is closing the doors in early June - anyone else hear the rumor? :confused:

No, this doesn't belong in the Truck Talk forum - it's about Bolt Express. Yesterday I finished orientation, and am very favorably impressed by the policies, procedures, and particularly the people. Instead of wasting our time (not to mention insulting our intelligence) with stuff like "eat a...

Has anyone tried this new product? If so, what do you think of it? :confused:

As you're new here, maybe you didn't realize that most members are bright enough to catch the drift with one post - no need for another, ok? In this case, no need for the first post, as the subject has been covered weeks ago. Sorry you didn't read the warnings then, maybe you'd have Run, Just...

I'd like to introduce everyone to my new partner, Kenzie. She's a 3 yr old Boston terrier/Pug from a rescue called A New Leash on Life, and she is absolutely terrific! Already housebroken, obedient, well mannered, curious, good natured, healthy, and loves to "go for a ride", lol. We're visiting...

Here on the edge of Lake Erie, it's about 12 degrees, with the wind from 30-45 mph, it feels like -18, and the gusts are rocking the truck! (Airtabs aren't helping, lol) How chilly is it where you are?

I've decided that I CAN share the sleeper with a companion - as long as it's a canine. I've owned and trained several dogs, but all were too big to consider in a truck, so I'd like some feedback to help me choose the right breed of codriver. I know a lot of you have dogs, so help me out please...

To submit recipes for the cookbook that EO is creating for cooking on the road. Just a few simple rules: It can be made using the appliances commonly found in trucks, ie: crockpot, rice cooker, Foreman or Rocket grill, etc. It is something you have actually made, not copied from another...

I don't usually pass along the "sky is falling!" stuff, but this one seems credible, given the source: the owner of a gas station. He says he got a call from Exxon tonight, warning him that the price of fuel may jump by $1.00/gal tomorrow, given the probable hit to Houston's refineries. I'm...

After reading about all the awful places, how about mentioning some that were a pleasant surprise? I'm partial to Danny's Big Rig Resort in Phoenix, (I 10, exit 137, across from the Pilot) myself: not as nice as Jubitz, but definitely a step up from the average. "Resort" is maybe...

Encouraging customers to track the freight: a valuable service, or a monster? I believe that the concept of the customer tracking the freight, from shipper to consignee, was dreamed up by some genius (and aren't they all?) in Marketing, then aggressively promoted, as a way to provide better...
