    Toot your horn!

    I wish we could toot our horn, but the miles for last month were the worst I have had in 10 years of driving. If I did not have a retirement from the Navy, we would have not been able to pay the bills. We are going to give it one or two more months, and if it does not drastically improve, we...

    Ticket for in cab control

    First, the truck we drive is a single drive axle, but both my wife and I have driven dump trucks that have a drop axle, and they all have the controls next to the driver, for if you are maxed out, and try to do a tight turn, you have to lift the axle for the steers to grab. I have watched...

    How to lose weight the easy way!

    June 6th, I had 3 stints inplanted. I had to change my diet if I wanted the stints to work, and my body to continue sucking air. My regular doctor, who is 71, advised me to look at the products we are buying, and do not buy anything that has TRANSFAT. I am not going to try to tell you what...

    Being fair for the contract driver

    Lawyers, are they really as great as a lot of people want us to believe? I have a test for you, it is real easy, and it will explain why a lot of people that have dealings with lawyers in business, will try not to use them if they can get by. CALL A LAWYER, ANY LAWYER, AND ASK HIM HOW A JUDGE...

    Being fair for the contract driver

    We did the homework, but if no one has taken him to court, then no such luck. From sources that will not repeat it, he also tried to black ball us with the company, even when we had followed the "Contract" to the letter, keeping him informed by cell and email.

    Being fair for the contract driver

    I would like to know if there is anywhere a contract driver can post his problems with an Owner-Operator. The company we are with will not get involved between Owner-Operator and Contract driver, so there is no route a driver can take except Lawyers to get fair treatment. Anyone have any...

    Sleep? Whats that!

    In the words of Clint Eastwood, "you have to know your limitations". Be flexable, learn to plan the trip and sleep time. My wife and I did like the old rules of splitting the 10 hours, but with the new rules, plan your stops for showers, or eating on the last two hours of the driver's shift and...

    Help me drive for A. Blair

    Be very careful on what you wish for. We drove for Blair, and any time we needed to get home, there was never a load within 800 miles of our house. We live off of I-30 in Arkansas. We had to deadhead every time to our house, over 900 miles, after waiting in the Detroit area for 3 to 4 days...
