    Winter wear and tear

    When I bought mine I believe it was 80 or 90 dollars? No Idea what it is priced out at now. My nephew runs/works at one and got me a very good discount on a generator for the van. She will save ya some money for sure. They seem to be good to their employees with that discount.

    Over a 100 rds fired??

    HOLY CRAP.. At the paper delivery person no less and her 71 year old mother, and not a single kill. (Which is a good thing) Im thinking a certain group of ppl if not a whole dept need some more gun control instead of the American ppl. 8 LAPD officers involved in shooting after Dorner 'case of...

    Usually when a chain goes even a quality chain it mostly likely will be a fragment that gets ya and not the whipping chain like cables and straps..Hopefully the worst that happens is a ding in your paint job or a busted window.. With that said,,don't forget your hard hat and safety glasses when...

    Winter wear and tear

    One of the best things in my tool box for the truck..At the very least my front axle and steering components gets a shot once a week. Takes about 10 minutes to climb under and do the whole truck start to finish,front to back. (Not counting clean-up) Well worth every penny I paid for it...

    Might Sequestration be a Boon for Expediters? If So, What Will You Charge?

    Air freight pays very well now, (or should if you catch wind of it before ya aceppt load offer.) I dont understand how a O/O under contract with a carrier can raise his/her rates? Hold out for more, and risk losing the load offer. Maybe. Someone finding their own freight or the carriers may...

    For the Sprinter that has everything or wants it. Niko Van Crane « Niko Ltd Would a 12volt winch be of any value to you guys..Maybe attach it to a load bar or rear bumber somehow and pull freight far enought back so lift truck can grap it.. Setting it up would stink but is it a answer to the Q...

    With tow straps is the pulling power (rating) equal to lifting power? (If that makes sence) I do think straps used for rigging are certified and or rated somehow???

    Certified chain would be a smart move also..Pleanty of chains out there with soft metal and poorly made links that will break as fast as straps. Cheap isn't also the best route. Pallet pullers are another good thing to have. I need one for each truck but just cant bring myself to order anything...

    Encountered proplem: Nope Read the new rules: Nope Solution: Close your doors after they refuse the freight. Contact dispatch and inform them they are refusing to unload freight. Ask what Xdock they want to pay you to go to or whats the load offer paying to take it back where it came from. Im...

    Granted for a single driver a reset doesn't happen to often but it does come around from time to time..Now if I am coming up on 1 and empty out and legally parked at say 5:30am. How do I archive the reset inside of a day and half..If I understand this new ruling,,My time wont start until the...

    Garden 2013 Time line

    not all doom and gloom....:)

    I see a bunch of drunken sailors around the truck stops waiting on this reset because they figure they have plenty of time on their hands now..No one will get the rest needed by sitting in these boxes for 3-4 days..A day and a half does work well..A tired driver (someone needing a reset) can...
