Yes, it does suck, but not because we can't be on two boards. If they would define the boards properly, based on common sense and where the freight comes out, Dallas and Ft Worth would be one board, not two, and there would be no need to be on more than one board at a time. But noooooooooo...

No, they're not. When you log on to a truck stop, motel, Panera Bread, wherever, you are logging on to their network, and those can be relatively easily spoofed. All you need to do is create an access point. Those types of connections are WiFi. The cell phone companies don't use WiFi, they use...

The problem comes when you can't see them, because they're not there or because they are intentionally hidden or otherwise obscured. When you are driving along in a certain speed zone and there is a change in that speed limit up ahead, there is supposed to be a sign at least 500 feet before...

Well, at least no one brought up the subject of urine therapy.

Both, actually. Bush got his history degree from Yale in 1968, and then got his master's degree in business administration from Harvard in 1975.

Well, you know one. Remember meeting me at the Expedite Expo? :D I had someone call in on me once, back with Con-Way. Safety called juuuust to make sure. The caller said I was driving erratically, barely able to keep the van on the road, followed me for more than an hour before calling in...

John Adams John Quincy Adams Rutherford B. Hayes Theodore Roosevelt Franklin Delano Roosevelt John F. Kennedy George W. Bush Al Gore went there (his roommate was Tommy Lee Jones). So did Mitt Romney (man, he should have gotten the nomination, just so he could have chosen Moot as his running...

When you see other drivers, you kind of know which ones are in the mood to talk and which ones aren't. The ones that aren't in the mood, it's not a good idea to confront them, gentle or otherwise. We all need our space out here. But, if you first start a conversation with the usual small talk...

The controversy about going to Canada, for those without criminal records and can get in, that is, is because of the hassles involved that are out of your control. There's paperwork that your a broker has to deal with and you're at their mercy when things go wrong with it, even though you did...

The Council was right there and available, and no one asked them for their input on the implementation of any of these changes. It's the luck of the draw and where you're at. I had 3 weeks there, in January, where I did way over 2000 miles a week, one week it was over 3000 miles. In the last...

There's a difference between speaking to someone and confronting them. If anyone is unsure of the difference, don't do either. :D If you're sitting in you truck and out the window you see someone dumping a bottle of what you assume to be urine on the asphalt, don't bolt out of your truck...

A Knoxville board and a White Pine board, another great example of two boards where there should be one.

That's your word against theirs, and you'd lose. Calling into a carrier is dicey enough, as it's still your word against theirs. Anyone can make stuff up and call it in. The noting of a wrong truck number can have significant consequences for the other driver, especially when you post that...

The confusion, and frustration, comes from them not properly defining the boards, and the board boundaries. You could be on three boards that do 2 loads a day, or you could combine those boards into one that does 6 loads a day. Same thing. But, they didn't do it that way. Not even close. Panther...

My momma alwayuz sayuhd, Obaaahmma is lack a box of chocklits. Ya never know what yur gonna get.

I have always scanned one pro per cover sheet, for that very reason. It eliminates (sorry, what was I thinking?!?!) slightly reduces the chance of confusion on their part. I got one in there now where they got the cover sheet, the shipper's BOL, and the POD signature from the PRO Bill, but they...

Overpriced for what you get. They use their own mapping data and routing (PC Miler), but it's still not as accurate as the data used by Garmin, Tom Tom, Mapquest, DeLorme, Google, everyone else. CoPilot does have HAZMAT routing and truck-specific routes for height, weight and length, so in...

I, for one, would be happy to assist you in step-by-step instructions on how to use the Ignore List. You can add someone to your Ignore List and poof! Instant Out Of Your Face. Good job on killing this thread, by the way. It used to be a fun thread.

It would be a real stretch to classify the initial post a negative attack or a public scathing. The post was full of questions, asking for help or advice, not public attack, and far from controversial. And except for those who have resorted to the usual lame personal jabs and attacks, the thread...

It's a standalone unit about the size of a shoe box. It's a mini diesel engine, got a glow plug and everything (the gasoline model, not so much). It's connected to the fuel tank and runs off that. It's mounted inside the van, usually behind the driver's seat, but it can be mounted anywhere. Mine...
