I thought about this I understand the savings but I see a really big down side to a phone only way to communicate with the company you are leased to; there is absolutely no record of the conversation if there is a dispute or problem. Also the other thing I find interesting is that many want...

My Thoughts… OK I know some are not going to agree with this, but it is time that many of you realize that technology is going to change trucking to the point where we will have little latitude to squeak by as many have been use to in the past. It is sad that this profession has to fall into...

You know Teacel this is a great idea. But I see it has a drawback, instead of trying to qualify the person who answers questions, I think it is better to come up with a group of questions that can be asked that is consistent and tested (by committee?) to help a newbie reduce the learning curve...

I can park anything on my property except a trailer. Tractors are permitted and so are striaght trucks, as long as they do not block driveways or impede the road including someone backing out of thier driveway. Now I may be moving to my Dad's house next year, no commercial vehicles are...

Danny I completely disagree with you, the “Big Company†is not there for the stock holders, it is there for the bonuses, the perks and the golden parachutes for their upper management. They don’t look at anything else but upper management perks. I have a very cynical attitude about the...

After talking to a friend last night who is an MSP trooper, she sees a lot of deer/car-truck -4 wheeler accidents; hey we are the deer road kill capital of the world. After what ATeam described, her comments were first the truck driver will not get a ticket if she was handling the scene...

RE: I amThinking of hiring a driver!! need some h Hondaking38 As much as some of this sounds like a hassle, there are rewards. I been on all three sides of this, owner/operator, company owner with employees and part owner of a consulting firm that used a lot of contractors, not one has ever...

RE: I amThinking of hiring a driver!! need some h I am going to add a couple things; First not only get an accountant, but a good contract lawyer. Pay the money (it is only a few hundred) to write a good agreement for you to use. Many times people will use a generic agreement or copy someone...

>BOYCOTT ARUBA What…. boycott Aruba? Why? Where did that come from? That is the stupidest thing I have yet heard.

I thought that they reduced the sulfur in the mid 90’s and 2007 was to have elimination of sulfur, maybe I am wrong about the elimination. I know that trucks with older injection pumps (IP) need the lubrication that the sulfur provides, like my 6.2 burb. I use a Stanidyne additive to ensure...

Aren’t we in another one of those weird weather cycles? I understand from friends that 1935 and 1936 (yea they are over 80) were really weird years, hot weather everywhere in the summer, no snow in some areas all winter in the far north and cold icy conditions in the south in the winter and...

RE: ye ha cowboys I was in Kentucky going back home, just left the exit from I 65 to I 71 and something told me it was going to be a bad trip back. About twenty miles from Louisville I had a blow out, front left tire. It acted odd about 30 seconds before it let loose, so I had time to slow...

ATeam This has me thinking about a lot of things, good post. But I am wondering what the real question you were asking - reaction to the situation or the truck driver’s ability to control his/her truck or both? To me there are two events in your example and there is a distinction between...
