When we talk about cheap freight you are the problem. You are a criminal as far as I am concerned. Looking at the picture the trailer in not attached to the bus. What about freight securement? I can think of a list a mile long of how your set up is what is hurting our industry. We pay our...

One billboard that was near Las Vegas almost had me pulling over as I was laughing so hard. It was a advertisement for the Blue Men Group and their eyes are very expressive. On the sign where the three Blue Men and on top of two of their heads were fake pigeons and in the third Blue Man's...

I also like billboards to read there are some I could do without and John that is not yours... Wont go into details here of some that I wish I did not have to read or see. It was odd though when overseas how frustrating it was to find food, fuel, or even a place to pull over and rest due to no...

Great Job Luke Libby and from my talks with DOT Officers you bring up all of the points they have discussed. Number one is being respectful! Thank You for posting this information and I hope everyone reads it and learns.

The problem with answering this is the range... Our experience has always been percentage of what the load pays and we have seen loads as low as .82 and over $10.00 a mile. Often the low pay is due to the dead head to pickup the load and the high amount is due to the shortness of the load and...

Dan I will have to try a ring from a milk jug, that is a great idea. DollarSign that is a funny story about Velvet and dragging the bag of cat food as Squeaky has just started dragging the rug I have between the two front seats to the sleeper. It is funny to watch him do this. A lot he does...

One thing we have figured out is that cats are pretty smart and luckily for us he is really not destructive over all. He likes to play and his new thing is to gather up the rug in-between the front seats and drag it to the sleeper. The rug has to weigh almost as much as he does. He is a lot...

There is a big difference in driving a car or pickup and driving a truck. The truck is set up for long distance driving with the curved dash, air ride suspension, air ride seats, tilting steering wheel, big mirrors and the list goes on. I find it much easier to drive our truck for long periods...

bethletters I think you will find the Expedite community to be very friendly and helpful. Remember when ever you can practice backing as it will help you drive forward when you get into a tight area as you know exactly where your pivot points are. I think you will do well and remember patience...

That will be awesome experience for your wife though I hope she remembers what she saw at Expo and there is a big difference living in a truck with sleeper and a day cab straight truck. Having the home amenities sitting right behind you sure makes life nice when you stop. Look around for a...

Dragon64 have family and friends started questioning you if you are CRAZY? While we were researching very few knew what we were doing as I knew it was going to be ugly. By the time we announced our plans by putting our house on the market and selling much of what we owned we were really told...

Taking your time and getting as much knowledge as possible before you start will help a lot. We spent a long time researching this industry before we started and the one thing we were not prepared for was how hard it is to sleep in a moving vehicle and that about did us in. I wonder now if we...

I have never heard of straight truck experience crossing over to T/T ... Verify that for sure. Once in a straight truck though it is hard to go back to T/T and the stress that comes with parking and maneuvering around. I found that the more I backed the trucking into parking spaces at the...

Luckily for us we have a good financial adviser that has kept us making money and not putting needed funds where we might lose... Mailer thanks for sharing as I liked your plan for a reserve to the reserve plan. My emergency fund is kept where I can get to it fast when needed. I then budget...
