Ahh, the entitlement mentality. "They" need to provide so's I can collect my "free". "They" need to provide so's I can - - -. Hooahh. It will never end. Actually there are thousands of places to park a "truck" in this country. I may have "parked" at a truck stop or rest area 25 times in my...

They are excellent, IF YOU can hold up YOUR end. If you are a "don't wanna type - stay away.

Aquired one o them stand alones last fall. Shee's a 38 footer an hinges in the middle. Not much room for freight, but she's got a super slide, and the real truckers get pizzed when I take up two spots. Detatching the power unit is bout a 5 minute exercise, so's I can make a wally run, or a...

I'd think a decent pulse would be needed also. Headbanging at orientation is optional, but, not recommended.

Pj, that math is tuff on a lotta us fellas. But, with fuel costs at bout ten cent for vans I can't figgure what is wrong with a sixty cent net for a while. Jazbo, y'all type friendly now, less not insult anyone.

Nafeesa Syeed sounds like a red blooded American name to me. Born in South Dakota??

I'd say it shouldn't take that long to figgure out that being one or two ain't gett'in it. Might consider getting one o them first outs or sumpin. Or, is a mini not in your drivers vocabulary.

I don't know much about this business, but, i'd bet that in this environment, those of you that have a large number of didn't wannas in your trick bag - they are now comming to roost.

Ahh, dedicated. I learned to stay away from dedicated a long time ago. One way in particular.

Following info may help you secure the downtime payment due you after a equipment disabling crash. Background: On 22 Aug 2004 we had a truck north bound on I55 in W Memphis, AR that was rear ended in a construction zone. The truck was loaded with equipment for delivery to a Nuclear plant in...

A cheapo from MS (warm) to MI (cold)?? Makes sense to me. Kinda wonder'in tho, why not a cheapo from MS to WI, PA, TN or the Carolinas?

Yes Broker, your newbee days'll be over whenever you deem they are. Whenever you got er all figgured out. That wuz a good story bout what not to do most days. Should be a wakeup call for others that havn't had to "pay" for their mistakes before. And yes, keep typing and let us know when the...

Yepper, wuz assigned at Walter Reed for a bit. D.C. population at midnite wuz 600,000, population at noon 2,600,000. Plenty a foolishness going on in between. I decided to bite the bullet and live downtown and use the bus n train. Way foolish during events and I can't even imagine what...

Regardless of the tales of woe the others have typed, i'll try and make it simple. If you really need to ask that simple question? Stay on the porch!!

Maybe that too. But, maybe it were the "flip" mentality that prevailed from top top to bottom. Many owned a home or few that they had no intention of making a "home", they were jes flipp'in. Works early on. But? Yes, it'll be interesting to see how it flops.

Sure. It's the money game. I've had bids in with three differerent sources at the same time for the same load. Nickel or so difference with each one. SSSoooo. if the load cancelled with a couple, usually weren't a problem not running. Two CAN play the money game ya know. If, for some...

These days jes the ducks, geese and fish flopp'in. Usta listen VERY intently to my horse. Mighta flipped the cb on for a bit when I needed some info for traffic or a local. One day you'll allow your entertainment to provide you a very costly repair bill because you didn't hear a...

Can't imagine any self respecting owner not requiring a driving test. In my case I required about a months running with ME, before I turned the truck over to someone. For as long as I can remember, any small company is better for a single driver than any large company. Depending on what...

Actually, I loved the smell of napalm in the morning. It usually meant i wasn't going to be too busy the rest of the day. Regarding the other crisis, i'd say you should do the math if you were on the normal 60/40 and see where it sorts out at. At a minimum you'll prolly come to realize...

Self policeing organizations would/could be a good thing if they "hop to it" and the 40% that choose to contribute cause the 60% that don't to be in step. Regardless, I can't imagine the lessons that will be learned from such an experiment. It otta be good to watch.
