thanks big guy, i already read that, it is from 2003. nothing after that, so i assume (i know assumptions are dangerous) that there was a shift and Toyota changed the structure again. I seen a couple of Hino COE when i was at GM as they were testing them, they looked like Mercedes COEs.

Hey Randy, there are a couple slow times of the year but i have a few questions to fill in the gaps. hope you don't mind me asking. >i have a trucking company in michigan (dump trucks) --------> Are you still running the dump trucks? >well the neightbor has a cargo van, he has been buggying...

as i was told, there are things that happen in Uniontown, LOL I would just get a hotel, it is easier and not really expensive. this way you can enjoy your it.

Maybe I am a little confused, but I can not find any reference of Penske in my Hino investor’s report or investor’s information book. I know that Toyota owns 100% of Hino Japan and owns the manufacturing (or assembly) plant in California but maybe Penske is a distributor or has exclusive...

Look I am no lawyer but termination is far from being out of service and the fact is that the DOT and others (DOL and IRS) have something to say about how contractors get paid. I know first hand the limitations of a company to hold back any money for work rendered. I also know unless that...

phatTweaker Honestly I have to tell you to shop around for an OTR company and work for them at least a year. If you need benefits, this is the way to go right now. You got time. I know that many here would say otherwise, but I weigh on the caution side of the issue and tell you if I had to do...

Seen that van in Indy and in Louisville, if it is the same one. There is another one that you would say can out of a stat wars, all kinds of stuff on it, including what i think are self-leveling jacks. i think i counted 8 antennas and all kinds of lights. I wonder if they are running legal with...

It is sad but I still go back to the fact that the news media has done all these families an injustice. There are facts now being quietly talked about that they did not want to report. I know this does not mean much but most of my uncles, grandparents on both sides and a great number of...

I thought SC had the same laws as michigan, if it marked two different prices you get it for the cheaper price. it was that way when i lived there.

I would also like to add, turn in all you paperwork as soon as possible simply because they can not have any excuse to hold any money back. As stupid as this sounds, you only hurt yourself by holding anything back. Let the burden be on them. As for a contractual obligation, as my lawyer has...

It is a shame that anyone had to die. Pray for their families. I understand the fear that many in these small towns have if they unionize the mines, the company simply closes the mines and the town dies. When I was down in that area 15 years ago it was the mine that controlled everything, you...

RE: HEHE Lawrence made a funny, Seriously The long and short of it is the concept of an open door policy is simply to allow employees, not contractors to have a means to address problems or concerns. The thing is I find any ‘open door policy’ for contrators rather an odd thing to have...

do a google search for wal-mart locations. some enterprising Wal-mart associate (i think that is what they are called) put a complete and rather up to date list on a web-site. I saved the info and added it to my truck stop excel list.

I am partial to diesel vans, as I am partial to anything diesel. About to get rid of the caravan of my wife’s and give her my dodge 2500 (i.e. Cummins). But Leo made a good point, maintenance. I use a 6000 mile oil change cycle, I could stretch it to 10K but it is not my dodge (which oil is...

Last year in September I sat next to a guy who had Bergstrom Nite unit in his van and got to see it in action over a weekend. Ok it wasn’t something that could keep a large sleeper (90†or bigger) cold but it kept his van cool enough during a 95 degree day. He had two golf cart batteries and...

yea, something to think about. I had a few trucks with boxes on them a long time ago. these were not cutaways or chassis but everyone of them were re-rated by the company that put the boxes on them, hence replacing the Ford/GM stickers on the door. the cutaways I bought all had ford stickers...
