Here is what I see as a possible uninformed writer - Shippers already asking prospective carriers about driver safety programs may begin enquiring about driver retention as they look to secure capacity.This has been going on for a long time, one of the things I noticed back in 2007, so why...

I did my record keeping last night and the last time I paid for diesel above $3.99 was back in may. I filled my pu up the other day, paying $3.45 a gallon and the truck at $3.67 a gallon.

It really doesn't bother us, too much freight to worry about trivial things.

Phil, It is not the point of not welcoming you or being friendly but the point is we don't speak of LS like we did for FedEx or Panther or whom ever on forums like this because we don't need to be like the others. We take a different pride in the work and the carrier, we are not part of a...

Nope no advice for the wires, I like my diesels and the two vehicles that are gas that we use, I don't know or care about wires - sorry. Moot's idea is the best one. As for the rear end issue, noise should not be a factor in selecting the gears, they are made under the same design criteria -...

That's my point. If I go through a background check and "qualify", there is no assurance that I am a safe person. So I wonder if we will ever see any common sense and learn that they don't do much in preventing anything other than less money in our pockets.

Either the one in post 54 or 56, can't tell which one.

What I mean is that the DoD already has its own process in place for some things and using another agencies card in place of their own security checks seems to be a bit foolish and unsafe.

Why not, we do it all the time.

That's too funny, "don't steal from medicare to support socialized medicine" What do they think medicare is, capitalism type medicine? Just wondering, can someone size that photo so some of us can read the posts?

So I would like to know when did they repeal that speed limiter law? Today I am coming home and was passing a truck, I was doing 70 (the speed limit) and had a Canadian truck on my a**. Once I got past the truck and into the other lane, he passed me - he had to be doing 80. A little while...

Is this a GM dealer? If it is, ask him to see the part numbers on his computer for your van based on your vin. They can tell you what type of axle is in the van. IF not, call a GM dealer and ask them. Ask them to see what is in their inventory or in the distribution warehouse nearest to...

I guess the question should be raised does it really stop anything or is it another measure that should be consolidated? I was thinking as I spent some time in a "secured area" a few weeks past that there is more of a need to just have common sense security by having a presence and not...

I just ran across this, I read something similar to it a while back but this one is funnier. What's the Canadian word for "lousy care"? Jeremy Clarkson - Times Online

I planned on doing what I did the past couple years this year - plant everything I can then give it to the charities that need it. BUT this year screwed that all up. So We don't know yet, we've been thinking about marketing for a number of reasons ... I do want to use the dehydrator that you...

Wrong name for the thread. It should be "the difference sane banking laws make" The one thing that Canada and other countries have done is not allow sub-prime lending of any sort. We should have done the same but instead tried to fix the wrong things and we will maybe in the next two years see...

I wonder if anyone caught Ken Burns' special on Prohibition? The reason I ask this is because the first part breaks down some of the political issues that were important at the time and I think are applicable even now. BUT going back to the subject of the thread, when we speak of a candidate...

Yeah I know but sometimes hope has to be there.

Nope not at all, scanning a log sheet is the same as faxing and can be an issue with a state DOT officer who wants to be an a**. No matter who says what, the FMCSA has said the signature on the log has to be manually applied and not in any other form - this is from the FMCSA directly. The...

OK Terror plot? Not even close It was an assassination if anything, and why are we responding to it? It seems that the Sauds themselves need to be involved, maybe we should have sent those two over there to face Muslim justice instead of living good here. BUT people in the UK and Germany...
