    Possibly another reason for Slow Freight

    Right on Ram-pa! With a few minor points put into the mix, you have zeroed in on something that alot of people don´t understand or are unwilling to accept. The trucking companies like any other business, including the o&o, have to look out for number one, to survive and/ or grow. In many cases...

    New Bill Passed In PA.

    Reading this makes me think California is moving to the east coast. We all want safer roads, and safer workplaces, but old Gov. Shwieker, needs to address the time vs. revenue issue for commercial vehicles. The number of accidents and injuries certainly is not acceptable in Pa., but the governor...

    LETS BETTER OUR INDUSTRY

    So Vanish is on a rant, so what?...I didn´t see where he mentioned anyone by name, so there was no personal attack. Last time I looked...this was free speech. I´ve seen veiled comments from many posters on this forum. Some of you are way to excitable! Who cares!....Mr. Vanish seems to get his...

    Christmas wishes?

    Santa Elf Driver. Last year I asked for a KW T300, with all the goodies. You left me a lousy KW model stocking stuffer. This year get me a real one! What´s with you anyway?

    Does anyone have Fern Bennetts

    phone number. I use another agency in Oklahoma, but lately have had to call them constantly to resolve problems. Does anyone know of any other agency in Oklahoma that gives you good service on plates? Is Oklahoma still the best place to base plate, with all the new laws changing in other states?

    going to Landstar...any advice

    Marty, do a search on this site for Landstar. Not too long ago there was a detailed exchange on them. What i remember about it, was that Landstar doesn´t have a central dispatch, and you have to call brokers to find loads. Other than that, they seem like all other companies, in that, the...

    XM Satellite Radio

    The reason they are going broke, is because, not only do they need a couple million subscribers to survive, they also need capital infusion to service thier debt. XM and Sirius both are fighting to survive, and are signing up car manufacturers to include satellite capability in thier new...

    Happy Veterans Day..

    Defining a vet. He or she is an ordinary and yet an extraordinary human being... a person who offered some of their life's most vital years in the service of their country, and who sacrificed their ambitions so others would not have to sacrifice theirs. He is the POW who went away one person...

    I'm Freezing !!!! ---- HELP !!!

    I read on this forum, not long ago about a heater you could buy at Walmart, that was supposedly safe. Can´t remember who posted it, but it´s worth checking out at Walmart. As the previous poster said, don´t use any kind of heater in a van or a truck that will emit fumes into the sleeping area...

    Class 8 with box, and or flatbed..

    A fellow driver and I were talking about the pros and cons of a class 8 unit. I would like to hear from those of you that have stretched one to accomodate a box. I always heard, that stretching any tractor trailer , was not to be done. Better you buy one with a wheelbase that will accomodate...

    The Man´s Code....

    THE MAN'S CODE 1.The universal compensation for buddies who help you move is beer. 2. Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both. That's just plain mean. 3. Bitching about the brand of free beer in a buddy's refrigerator is forbidden. You may gripe...

    Tell About Your funniest or scariest truckin

    Your Tips for life on the Road

    Some of my favorites are: 1. I don´t really like microwave fare that you buy in the supermarket. I go to the deli, and buy it hot, or I rigged up a metal pan that sits on top of the motor, I wrap food in tin foil and heat it as i go down the road. Been doing it for years. Coffee too. Maybe too...
