For those of you guys who are operating with making payments on your trucks...... are you making a living?

I'll second that. I had a owner a few years back who thought that I was his mechanic and errand boy. (semi) I was just filling in for his regular driver, a friend of mine who was recovering from surgery for 2-3 months. I replaced his turbo, fan belts, and rewired part of his dashboard area. I...

If you are just starting out as a new driver with this owner, I think it would be up to you to pay for your travel expenses to the place of hiring. If you are already working for the owner and he/she wants you to go pick up a new or abandoned vehicle.... its on him/her.

Hello, I think you are being naive to think you can just come off the street and break into truck ownership without prior experience. There are just too many things to learn out here before you decide to buy your own truck. It is a major adjustment adapting to the life of a truck driver...

Everything is going up. The dollar is at a very weak point right now. Get ready to bend over for the coming fuel hikes as well, since we import over 60% of our oil. Bad time to break into expediting, but I'll make it ok.

Are you talking about democrats? J/K of course! :)

I have the answer: God is great.... Beer is good.....and people are crazy!

I have seen so many disgusting acts by drivers at the truck stops. I stopped using them altogether with the exception of buying fuel. I was a owner operator pulling for Schneider my last few years on the road. Their larger terminals were 1st class, and spread out pretty nicely. The most...

Class B is pretty simple stuff really. Just get the booklet from your DMV and study up. Air brakes quiz section is the part that you really need to pay attention to. Pre-trip is basic stuff. My wife passed her non driving exam, and the road test on her first try.

Officer friendly is not there anymore because people have lost the the fine art of acting civil towards police officers. The police are always 1 mistake away from a lawsuit for thier actions. If the american people would wake up and realize that life is not like the Jerry Springer show...

Have you stood on the corner in Winslow AZ. yet? I went 300 miles out of route just to do it. I was a O/O with time on my hands and just had to do it

Awsome! Been there a couple of times, but I was driving a semi and had to walk over. :)

Hello everyone. I have decided to pull the trigger on a new Sprinter van and go to work. Construction is dead now, and it looks to stay that way for a few years. I drove for OTR for 7 years after I retired from the Navy, and have been missing the road some what. If all fails with expediting...

Been off the road for 7 years. I still have my Class A CDL with zero preventable accidents. I can renew my hazmat endorsement, and obtain a physical here locally. I can obtain a twic card, or anything else needed. Retired Navy. Drove for various companies from 1997-2003. Recieved...

Hello everyone, my name is John. I Drove truck for 6 years after I retired from the Navy in 1997. I figured I finally could settle down after seeing all 48 states, along with Mexico and most of Canada. So I took a job as a construction estimator and was let go this past August due to the...
