    Are Recruiters Really the Lying Scumbags Drivers Say They Are?

    It is kind of bizarre post. And to what end? The better educated and prepared a driver is, the better their recruiter is gonna be. Because, the recruiter will be able to answer specific questions that matter. An uneducated and ill-prepared driver is going to have a bad recruiter, because the...

    Politically Correct Names

    The US was going to have a Miss Ebonics Beauty Pageant, but they finally had to call it off. They couldn't get anyone to be Miss Idaho.

    Drivers Council Meeting

    If the "Q&A Session" that was just posted to the Web site is any indication of what the Driver Council has to deal with, and I think it is, then the Council might as well take up head-banging as a hobby. There were no questions, there were no answers. It is a six minute reading of a prepared...

    Truck Friendly GPS

    An inside source? No, not really. They caught my attention several years ago when they made a big splash about ultra-cheap tracking devices, so cheap (and small) that you could place them in just about everything you own, so that if something got stolen it could quickly and easily be traced. A...

    Do an EO Forum search for "deep cycle batteries" and have a field day.

    Truck Friendly GPS

    Teletype's stuff is mostly junk. The software is buggy, the mapping is terrible, and the routing is even worse. They are a small Boston based company that banked highly on people putting GPS tracking units in everything they own, like their laptops in case someone stole it (good idea), or their...

    Working to hard

    Maybe all threads should immediately be locked to eliminate the possibility of bashing. No one got bashed. We're all adult children here and we can settle our differences in our own way. It's easy enough to do in this particular thread - he simply got you and hondaking confused - as you two...

    Comcast.mobile

    I think (I think) that's the same as Verizon's Mobile Web, a web portal optimized for cell phone use. No fancy pictures, no fancy java scripts, just the simple text. You can buy a data plan from Verizon and hook your phone to the laptop right now. The phone becomes the Aircard. But, if you do...

    Cat Eyes

    Should be no more than about $5 a tire. That's the most I'd pay for the Sprinter or a passenger car. Might be more than that for truck tires, but I'd shop around, 'cause if it's much more than $5 even for a truck tire, they're charging too much (for a passenger, Sprinter, light truck, the...

    sprinter vs straight truck solo loads??

    Definitely. The truck itself may be King, but if there's a Queen inside, they're running the show.

    Working to hard

    If you don't want your business decisions commented on, then don't post them in public. Telling me to get a life because I may make a different business decision that you, well, that's just mean. All I did was post how I see things, offered up suggestions that others can use when faced with...

    sprinter vs straight truck solo loads??

    Straight truck team is King, straight truck solo is Prince. The rest of us are peasants and paupers.

    Is it? I mean, you're probably right, but I can think of a dozen other reasons why the load might have swapped. If you would have taken it from a shipper and gone 300 miles, then there's no reason not to take it on a swap for 300 miles. None. 300 miles is 300 miles. There is no principle...

    Sorry, I'm out of hours!

    There was simply too little information in the article to really figure out what happened. I read another article that gave a little more information, but not much. The passengers were headed to a Greyhound terminal in Dallas where some were to meet with parole officers (like the ones who were...

    Hope you didn't buy that HD DVD

    Depends on what your definition of "will do" is. If your simple consumer needs consist of simple video, then High Definition video isn't needed or wanted. And out here on the road, in the truck, I think simple video is something that probably "will do" just fine. But those who want high def...

    Hope you didn't buy that HD DVD

    Yep. Been watchin' that one closely. The studios themselves divided on it, but then Warner pulled the trigger. But now, on the heels of Target and Blockbuster announcing the move, in less than a week Netflix, Best Buy and Wal Mart all announced the move to Blu-Ray exclusively. Wal Mart and Best...

    When you're hot you're hot

    Make sure the van is insulated like crazy, especially the roof. Park in the shade if possible, keep reflective window coverings over the windshield, with the reflective material touching the window or as close to it as possible. If it's brutal hot, and there's no real chance of rain, place the...
