the new hours of service say you must have 10 hours of off duty time for every 11 hours driving Now does 10 hours off duty include sleeper berth time? And if so do they expect me to sleep a straight 10 hours after i've driven for 11 hours...

The best thing is if you stop for a break of some kind, do it after you have put some decent miles behind you. That way you biuld up some time because of there 47 miles an hour thingy. Meaning if you run four hours averageing 60 mph then you are 52 miles ahead of the curve, and could take up to...

I told you the other side is my best side dangit.

Hey, that's me in the picture, I wonder if that will just be the start of many pictures with MY truck.

But to answer Geo's question I think the way we handle it is the best for us. My answer to a question for extra service is if dispatch will approve it I would be happy to do anything you need done. Won't take me a second to get hold of them. Had a customer that wanted us to deskid 20 skids of...

X you don't know how EGL works. A lot of your 10 to 15 deliverys a day are one doorway only. Some of your deliverys pay as little as $6.00 and 12.00, and you might have five or six of them a day. Some VERY costly items at times. Home delivery of big screen tv's with tilt and tells. You don't...

Well Dave please don't under estimate the value of those two or three afternoons behind the wheel training in the truck. That has to be worth 1500 bucks a week for a year. And then there is that escrow thing. Oh and the savings account, and the phone support, and the accountant's help for...

I have had tires trued before. provoked the heck out of me to grind/cut a new tire. Went to a different place and they broke the tire down and rotated it on the wheel and that solved about 1/2 of the problem. Also when mounting the wheels on the truck have them spin the tire to make sure that...

That's what we get paid...so, unless your team doesn't pay for their fuel, or their getting an amazing rate per mile, then I don't see the difference. We're both getting paid basically the same. Correct me if I'm wrong or misread your post. Lets make it easy Cat......4700 miles in 4 days my...

We use the centramics, they seem to help ALOT. While having my last set of steers mounted the guy at the tire shop said about the same thing as Dave about not being round.

We do have the same worker's accident insurance everyone else has, and we do pay $100 a month to an accountant. $ 1,200.00 a year. I wonder if you picked that accountant, or they gave the number to one of the "in house" guys. I would say that is one of the highest rates I have EVER heard of...

I came across one of thier trucks broke down in New Mexico. They ( a husband and wife team running for PII )were on a lonely two lane highway. We stayed with them for about an hour. The truck they drove was a very, very used truck, and looked it. No working a/c, tape on the seats, and just used...

While I don't drive a van 2000 paid miles per week seems a little high from what has been said in the past.

In Ohio the company has nothing to do with filing the claim if, and I mean a big IF it is the state's insurance. You need to feed the Lawyers family in order to find out what to do.

What state is the truck plated in? By that I mean what state issued the plate?

It was a fair Friday afternoon in San Marcos, TX and Holly had gone to DPS early in the morning to schedule her CDL skills test, she got the 2PM slot, not an enviable position to be in on a Friday afteroon at 2PM as the exodus from Texas State University starts around 1:30PM and lasts until...

Quick test to see if it is stainless steel, use a magnet, if it sticks it is probably not S/S.

Did I read that right? Fedex pays a percentage of the TARIFF? I thought you got paid a percentage of the freight bill.

Congratulations Terry and Rene'
