I agree it is business as usual. When a driver goes into CSA 2010 with no point the business has been run right and there has not been a case of whoops which can happen to anyone. A clearance light can go out as you pull onto the scale. Those that have not paid much attention to these rules I...

I have had a level one and the scale was out of stickers. Pretty much I was told such is life you passed have a nice day.

Steve Pollock, editor of Movin' Out has written a comprehensive driver friendly article in the October issue of this magazine. I found the CSA article well written and educational from a driver’s standpoint. You can read the article yourself in the October issue of Movin' Out or on their web...

That is for sure! We have been out here ten years and we still say often "Wow I did not know that!" We live in a world of change and each day we still feel as if we are Newbies!

Good deal and welcome back!

22 Year is amazing! Great job. I starting thinking of all the changes you have been through and you have hung in there through thick and thin. The stories you can tell I imagine are fascinating. You have to have a lot of tenacity to have not just said to heck with it I am moving to another...

Thinking of alternatives to that buttermilk pie! There are lots of really good items that can be grilled that do not need BBQ sauce on them and are very good. When planning the meat for next year I think we will keep this in mind.

OVM brought up an interesting thought on another thread wondering if many of us will recognize each other. It appears as many of the posters have decided to change their eating habits and become slim,trim and I a m sure debonair. It will be interesting to each other again at the Expo and I...

This lifestyle is something a person either thrives on or they absolutely hate it and look for any excuse to get out. Be it the carrier, the truck, their owner, the regulations and the list goes on. The other question is off topic!

Yes! We left good paying jobs with benefits when our kids left home. We first tried the truckload carriers as drivers and quickly figured out that was not for us. We learned a lot there which I believe led us to appreciated that much more expediting. When we hear complaints about...

We have been lucky enough to hike around that area several times while the bridge was being built and were each time amazed at how beautiful that bridge is. We cannot wait to see it again in its finished state.

Perfect reply! Thank you.

Do you think Driver Council members have not talked to FCC about many of these problems?

We have found that depending on where we are in the country how many loads we are offered are unacceptable. When we need to get home or be somewhere we will accept a load at a lower rate rather than dead head on our dime. We call these well paying relocate loads. Sometimes we also wonder when...

We do not have a load fee and our usage fee is .50 per each purchase of fuel.

Our discount has still be very good at the TA's and we have no complaints. The discount has been like always some places we get a very good discount and at others the discount is only .04 cents. We made the mistake of paying for a shower at the Pilot in Fort Worth, TX and we figured out...

Thanks Turtle the call was very interesting. TA/Petro are really struggling against so many drivers wanting a comfort meal dinner and not enough drivers wanting to eat healthy. One of the thoughts I found interesting was the discussion between the difference of TA/Petro. Historically the TA...

We had our call today with Tom Straub, Corporate Chef and John Ponczoch, SVP Restaurant Operations, which went very well. John and Tom are both very interested in hearing back from drivers on their menus and presentation at both the TA and the Petro. We had a very candid discussion on our...

That is a class post and I am sure will be appreciated.
