    Cargo Van Proposal to Carrier group.

    Noooo sometimes its all over the map. I think 55 is the everyday standard before delay at the docks even hit.

    Cargo Van Proposal to Carrier group.

    At times 55mph isn't enough given the amount of road construction, congestion, and also given the route you will be on as the case of Indiana where the back roads and traveling thru the woods come into play. Let's not even mention Dayton and Cincinnati depending what time of day ya hit it. Then...

    Fuel for Thought That's Not My Job

    Don't understand his part about uniforms, but I get ya gotta do what ya gotta do. But also keep in mind its not my job to operate their equipt or loading their freight including the doors, dock plates, or lift trucks. Not my liability if something goes wrong. Will I do something xtra at the...

    How long till this starts hitting expedited carriers?

    Sounds like Load one provides copy's if requested, so it has to be doable. On the cloud thing, would that not involve giving the carrier access to your cloud account for them to upload to it? Never been to my cloud so I don't know what it takes to access it.:D (Email is good enough for me or...

    Happy Birthday EO! 17 Great Years Today!

    Just curious, How many of the original members are still active say from the first 3 months or so? After all its their b/day also. Anyone have that list. And thanks for providing the site Lawrence, without it who knows how we would spend some of our idle time.

    I don't know if 2 books are right or wrong. I agree on the records as I keep and show all activities on every change of duty status. I don't think the elogs let us do that? And then I want my copy so untill I know we can print out a page I'll keep some sort of record for the tax man

    How long till this starts hitting expedited carriers?

    Kinda my thought also. I briefly thumbed thru my Lil green book and didn't find anything that touched on training. I'm going with the assumption that I am running 2 logs books and I am in vialotion no matter which way I turn. :D

    This brings up a question about running 2 log books. One being a elogs and the other being paper. How legal is this? If both logs are not activated the truck/driver is in violation and gets a call from the office stating so. Now talking to the office they say the elogs don't enter into the...

    Would you take Higher Rate and less Miles or More Miles and Lower Rate?

    I don't think the trucking industry will ever crash. I can see a reverse towards carriers that want to survive going back to owning their own trucks and employing drivers again. Maybe

    Dot tape

    Tractor supply or what ever they call themselves now sell it by the 30ft roll. Easy to use and easy to repair torn sections without replacing the entire strip. 30ft roll comes in a reusable package for easy storage.

    Which Jerry are you referring to? The more I learn about the way this terminal closing was done it sounds like it was a really really dirty deal for the folks involved. Any carrier out here looking for a recruiter I can send ya to one of the best. This guy is so good he can hang on to trucks...

    Same thing here.. Only this was a blow out from yesterday.. They wanted it shipped yesterday according to the guys on the docks. Nothing like waiting a full day to send a truck. Wait, maybe it took that long to sell the freight 3 or 4 times. (Or try to sell it and finally had to put it on our...
