Congratulations to ya Diesel Diva! I've enjoyed reading your posts, and I'm sure you will be a great addition to the "Mod Squad" :) :) :) Dreamer

Thanks for the update Weave! Your updates on your and your dad's trucks helps the rest of us who are looking toward the future. Sounds like you made a wise decision in going with this truck... the comfort level alone has got to be worth the investment in the bigger truck. And.. with fuel...

Hey DD, Keep us updated on how this truck does, will ya? I actually spoke to Dan the other day on the phone, and was considering going with a truck instead of a van... still may, if they fix these stupid HOS rules... but.. that's a story for ANOTHER post... :) :) :) Dreamer

I couldn't agree with you more Weave. What I don't understand, is why the expedite companies haven't realized what's going to happen, and jumped on the wagon with Walmart, etc... this is going to CRIPPLE expediting, as a major portion of every company is single drivers. Another example, that...

:( :( :( I mentioned this fact several months ago when the new HOS regs were first posted, and got laughed off a couple 'big truck' forums. Noone believed my interpretation that the 14 hours were consecutive from the FIRST time you log on... like was said previously... if you log on for 30...

Well, for the new Forum, I submit: The Driver's Den And as for the new moderator, I'm thinkin.. has to be someone who has been on here a while, knows the business, etc... so my guess is: Geo So.. do you need my address to send the prizes? :) :) :) :) :) Dreamer

You guys are really making me think about one of these trucks! I've been considering the idea of a C unit for just those reasons... no fuel tax, no high plate, and easier parking in my drive.... hmmm... now to find someone who'll finance.... :) :) :)

Sean: Glad to see you're driving again. I know that's what you love to do. Hope you found a good Fleet Owner to drive for, and a good company too. Dreamer

RE: posts I already clicked on one of the answers in the poll, but I thought I would clarify. I've been a part of this forum for about 3 years now I think??? Most probably know my background.. I originally got my CDL back in '93, first driving experience was Roberts Express D1115, ol...

RE: A Picture Hey! I remember that bumper sticker! Now, if I could just remember who that great guy was who thought of that slogan and won the contest! :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 (Little pat on own back there!) Actually, I STILL think that sticker came out great, and have it on every vehicle I...

May we know who you're driving for NOW first... so we don't recommend you call them and embaress ourselves? :) :) :) :) Dreamer

Hey Laurence Great pictures of the show, but seems mostly of the people! Did ya get any good ones of the trucks, especially the trophy winners? Also, do you know when a more detailed view of that new truck will be availible? Thanks Dreamer

WOW! I'm sorry to hear that Wild Bill. It's amazing how some people can turn just like that. I went thru a similar thing with the last guy I drove for. Just out of the blue, he calls me, says because 2 others of his drivers screwed him over, he's getting rid of everyone, and selling his...

Wannabe: Yes I WAS trying to encourage you..LOL... but I didn't mean for you to jump into a truck payment, if you're not financially ready, just was saying that if you really wanted to drive, you didn't have to wait until you got your OWN truck! Best of luck with whichever you choose!

If you really want to drive, why don't you? Are you determined to only drive if you can have your own truck? Why not find a reputable owner, and start driving? What better way to get used to the job, and at the same time, build up the cash needed to get your own truck? I guess I'm asking a...

Guess I must have been lucky too.. Memphis was always one of my favorite places to deliver to.... I also never sat more than a day there... but... like another post said, maybe that's because FedExCC has the Memphis freight more than other companies. Memphis and Jackson both were alway good to...

Brandy wrote: " Hell you sound like the owner I worked for, accident free since '93, yea right." ummm... "yea right????" Hmmmmmm.... so NOW you turn it to a personal attack on what ol' DREAMER says ....... I see... That's ok, I'm a big boy, I can take it! :) :) :) :) :) However, just to...

**sigh** I was gonna let this one slide, but I just couldn't.. sorry guys! Brandy... Sounds like you should have ironed out all the details BEFORE you signed on as to what home time was. That's why you get it in writing.... you should have known 6 weeks ago what his policy was, and what he...

Panther does still have that requirement, I have talked to several drivers who use Cue. Here's a link: http://www.atlascomm.net/nationwide.asp I investigated them once before... they claim 95% coverage of USA. Dreamer
