Training was in union town Ohio, yes. Awesome lunch. ... awesome. Lol. A lot of information when you go. Take notes, but they also will give you a binder with most if not all the info. Their lot is a little tight for parking. In my opinion at least. Turn into the entrance on tabs dr. I think...

Lol. Well, the max for the mount our truck came with is prolly 24? The mount me and a buddy made last weekend holds our 50" 4K tv. Tv did not come with our truck. Get one from Walmart. You'll pay twice the price at a truck stop for a small tv. Truck battery was dead this morning. Had to wait...

Christmas was good even though the whole family got sick. We were suppose to go back into service today. We got out to the truck and let it run for a bit, once it started to get cold we shut the truck off to let the apu run (heat), however, the apu failed to start. It killed the truck batteries...

That is something we need to look into. I have no idea where to begin. We're prolly gonna have to find a tax person to handle it. How does everyone else do it?

It would appear I am missing replies and not getting notified of them all. We have been busy! Starting to be able to average over 2500 miles a week with one close to 3,000! Nice to finally get some paychecks over $1,000

With our experiance level (not much) I think the most useful advice I can give is, be patient. This entire adventure required a lot of patience and still is. It can be very rewarding so it's worth it in the end. Also expect the unexpected, and be able to roll with the punches. You never know...

We got a load out of Nebraska before we even got to Omaha. Delivered that load in minisota at midnight last night. Got a load Monday morning in Wisconsin heading to iowa. I personally don't wanna go west of i35 anyway. I thought I saw more loads heading out of co, but maybe they were going to...

I worked at thermoking for a little bit years ago. I didn't get much into diagnosing starting issues but I defiantly know my way around them. That was in the middle of summer though so no cold start experience. What are you looking for in a fleet owner? Could always give expeditors a call...

I kinda agree. i can't imagine spending all your downtime in a truck your not comfortable in. That, and I don't trust anyone. Expeditors was super helpful in our situation and I still didn't trust them. I'm starting to now, they have yet to leave us in a bad situation. Also, it might just be...

From what I've seen so far, pretty much anything from the middle of the map to the right is ok. CA has had decent activity lately.

I actually do not care for the scenery at the moment. Maybe it's just the time of year that makes it look so dreary. It's just brown/tan. Like everything is dead, kinda depressing. Lol. Granted we are barely in CO. Actually in WY now. Only got one other load opportunity. It was delivering in...

Lmao. Truer words have never been spoken. We got a small load locally. Then a load came over the c link headed to SC. That got dispatched to another truck, they must have been waiting longer.

I don't plan to mess with another hazmat load for a long time. If ever.. just rubbed me the wrong way I guess. I absolutely love omelettes. Unfortunately, a few years ago I was diagnosed with MS and ever since then I cannot eat bananas or eggs. No idea why, I have no allergy to either, but...

Thank you very much. Hopefully all goes well with no unexpected surprises. On a side note you guys were right. Haven't found a single load near CO. Looks like we'll be waiting out the 24hrs and giving fedex a call.

Ok, would like some input from some more experienced people. We're about 400 miles away from our destination. We are headed to loveland, CO. Our route goes I80 to i76 to US34. Im interested in the current weather conditions and I'm not sure if the information I have found is accurate. It would...

Fingers crossed, didn't realize it was a bad load area.

Delivery in IA went good. Accepted a load shortly after that picks up in minisota on Monday and goes to Colorado. Wasn't anything on the loadboard in our area over the weekend so we figured we'd grab it and get an early start Monday.

Different strokes for different folks I suppose. My posts here dont even show a fraction of our life. My girl is not my "property" nor my "pet". I'm sure if it was an issue she would have said something negative in the past 11 years. Then again, you may be right about how I speak. We are not...

And I thought our DMV was bad. You should be able to complete all tests in like a half hour - 45 min. I think there is 50? Questions on the knowledge and 25 on the hazmat. You also don't HAVE to do the hazmat at the same time. You can do it when you go to get the actual license. In case your...

Lmao. The loads that come across the c link usually come from the load board. Say there is a load on the load board with 200 miles dead head. I won't accept that load because I don't wanna be responsible for the extra 100 miles. If they offer that same load over the c link, they adjust the pay...
