Yankee - don't think your statement is completely true - since it doesn't address the fact that one also has to comply with state laws as well as federal. And in the case of AL they apparently do require vans to scale and log - my only question on that (which remains unaddressed) is whether AL...

This past Monday I got a load that took me close to the home office and I was planning on going out of service for this week anyways, so I ran by after I dropped - primarily because I wanted to put faces to the names of people I had been talking with from Dispatch. Unfortunately I was not able...

bearcat, Well done - you are looking the right things in the right way. You'd be surprised at the number of new people that don't confront that reality - of what it takes to fund your operating expenses until the money starts coming in. And what if ya got lucky and had to run 2500 miles for...

Craz, That is correct - I have a valid DOT medical card from Fedex and Bolt accepted it with no problem. I did have to do another drug screen though.

The condition is known as "wet-stacking" - read the following white paper (Microsoft Word doc) by Raytheon Technical Services Company for a detailed explanation and understanding of the problem and why you want to avoid it: "What is Wet Stacking ?"

I'm inclined to go with your view on this Pete. Part of the problems come about as result of poor signage in my opinion at the scales - is a van considered a "truck" ? (As in "All Trucks Must Enter ...." ... "All Commercial Vehicles over X" would be much clearer) Probably depends on who ya...

Great story Greg. I imagine that was quite the experience as a 9 yearold. :)

Probably best to do it this way: Slingbox FAQ

Ken, This is the first (and hopefully, the only) time I have ever experienced expelling a portion of a Cotto Salami sandwich I was eating out of my nose ....

From what I quickly read: TV: no. But if you have Direct TV or Dish that receiver would have to be on. You do need to have an always on connection to the internet - most folks that have this probably have a device (cable modem/router, dsl modem/router, satellite modem/router) that has a...

India, Yeah - I knew you weren't (trying to give bad info) - it was just that the wording was a little unclear and I wanted to try and clear it up and make sure that folks knew they needed a broadband connection at the house to make it fly. ;) I have broadband and Direct TV at home myself...

Cheri, Having been to Montreal and surrounding areas 3 times in the last 4 weeks, I can tell ya the French-Canadian ladies certainly do have it going on .... (and a Flying J with a bar to boot .... have I died and gone to Heaven ? .... someone pinch me ...) ..... and Dispatch really...

The above is slightly misleading, although probably not intentionally - your Slingbox at home needs to be connected to the internet via broadband - either via a router, cable modem, DSL, etc. - or via a computer that is functioning as a router (software router)

Well, actually, it's really dependent on HOW MANY screws he can put into HOW MANY door panels in a given hour ..... $20 + bennies might be CHEAP :eek: - depending on how productive he actually was. ...... I will give this though - most of the UAW types seem more focused on what the company...

I just hope you guys each have your own canoe ......

Do-do-do-doo ..... do-do-do-doo ...... "Please do not attempt to adjust your set ..... we control the horizontal .... and the vertical .... " :eek:

I dunno if i would just stay in the East (depending on your definition of "east") and the Ohio Valley (and I live there ...... Ohio that is) Can you run Canada ? If so that will open up some options. There is freight in your area apparently (or so I've been told by both Dispatch and...

Leo is right - being with any carrier, including Bolt, is no magic panacea. While I have only run at two carriers, I have friends at others which are certainly doing well (Panther, Fedex, etc.) To some extent it is the luck of the draw, it is also your own work ethic and the company you leased...

As a student, it is certainly the responsibility of the student to understand what is being presented to them - and if they don't understand it, ask and get it clarified. On the otherhand, it is ultimately the responsibility of an instructor to ensure that all of his/her students "get it" and...

So Greg I take it from your statements above about "removal of the country on the foreign stage" that you are a fan of foreign meddling by the US in other countries internal affairs ? I say that because what Ron Paul is for isn't being totally isolationist - he's all for maintaining relations...
