Erg.... anyone know if our insurance has a windshield rider, where we can replace for flat rate? I knew a little bit of debris bounced off my windshield the other night during the storm, but didn't think it did any damage. Upon closer inspection I got some little chips down low, nothing drastic yet but will have to replace pretty soon before they spread.

Why not just get the chips repaired. Had it done several times none ever failed.

Good morning to you all. I delivered this morning in sunny and warm Louisiana. At least it is sunnier and warmer than Michigan. I am hoping to find some good Cajun food down here.

Nope... No windshield coverage..... Unlike Panther does!!!!!

With what we get paid here, is a $200.00 windshield really an issue?

Dale, if it is not in you're line of vision, and not cracked yet, I would wait until the spring to get it done. rock salt season is quickly approaching us.

Just another follow up to this mornings Qualcomm message:

"ALL DRIVERS: AS YOU ARE ALREADY AWARE HAND HELD CELL PHONES WERE BANNED FROM USE IN COMMERCIAL VEHICLES EFFECTIVE JANUARY 3RD, 2012. THIS LAW WAS PUT IN PLACE TO HELP PREVENT ACCIDENTS AND CARRIES A POTENTIAL $2750 FINE TO THE DRIVER| AND AN ADDITIONAL $11,000 FINE TO THE MOTOR CARRIER. EACH VIOLATION RESULTS IN 30 CSA2010/SMS POINTS. AS OF THIS DATE NOVEMBER 4TH, 2013 LOAD ONE WILL TERMINATE ANY DRIVER CAUGHT IN A ROADSIDE INSPECTION OR TICKETED FOR USING A HAND HELD CELL PHONE. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS."

We have been forced to issue this policy as the law and penalties itself do not seem to adequately keeping our fleet from being cited and fined. As well our goal is to continue to reduce our accident and incident numbers.

Our simple safety philosophy is this..."Drive like you have family, friends and loved ones in every vehicle around you".

Yeah, all down low.

Right now, not a huge issue, but an inconvenience. Still catching up from all my time off with my wife's health issues.

Way to go, think this is totally warranted in this circumstance. still to this day i see 60% of the driver i pass on the road in trucks holding phones to their heads.
