    Be on the lookout!

    I was down in Little Rock awhile back . I was parked in a truck stop, reading and getting ready to catch some shuteye. I heard a tap on the driver´s door, and there was an Arkansa lot Lizard. I grabbed my camera and snapped a picture, so you boys will be on the alert, if you´re down that way.

It was straight thru freight that was not discounted. If memory serves me right,Roberts actually started by picking up where airfrieght...

    When are they going to realize..

    I read a statistic that stated only 2% of the work force makes $100,000 or more per year. Many trucker owner-operators fall into that category. The government "suits" on the lower rungs of the ladder, have to do something to justify thier existence,and all that education, so they make rules for...

    Thoughts on the new HOS rules.

    I must have posted this on the wrong forum first time around, as it ended up in the newbies forum. I´ve been lurking for sometime on this issue, because there is so much confusion. Now that the enforcement has started, I hope that the enforcement experiences will be posted here on EO, and on...

    I´ve been lurking for sometime on this issue, because there is so much confusion. Now that the enforcement has started, I hope that the enforcement experiences will be posted here on EO.

    Trucking 101. The way it is.

    When asking for a mileage figure for all miles, I think some of you are missing the "key word" in what I was trying to say. The word "DEPENDS". I think that $1.00 a mile is achievable for all miles, but what are you talking about? Gross or net? Example: If you average $1.10 all miles (which in...
