Well my delivery to Pleasanton, CA turned into a they were supposed to ship that to Piscataway, NJ...tried to stay with that load and do the run. Contact guy was fine with that...our ops offered to have me doing it at cost to help them and get me off the west coast without paying empty moves...

I know you occasionally haul parts to those, maybe you can buy at a discounted rate 1 part at a time until you can assemble one yourself maybe? Gives you about a yr or so to do it....just a thought.

Here in Pleasanton, CA 10 hours early, deliver in the morning with a nice chunk of miles to start the short week.

Did about 15 years, 10 of them over the road, then did 5 yrs regional or local...in van/reefer/flatbed...then Dump Truck followed by Dump trailer. tried to go back to working a "real job". Left after 6 months. Drove for a fleet owner for 14 months then bought my Promaster. Put about 33% down...

Many of us discourage newbies because they have a false sense of what you can really make, and many that come into this are not aware of the worth of what we do so will run for peanuts. They tend to not know the true costs to have a reliable vehicle...I heard from another driver friend about how...

D/h from Ft Worth, picked up in Abilene to deliver to Dallas direct...about 330 miles all paid as loaded.

OKC Thunder lost, so load didn't go, still in Dallas area.

Have a load, but requires OKC Thunder to win vs Golden State tonight...if it goes, picks up in Norman, OK with 3 stops ending in Tulsa, OK.

I was all for Alisan Porter from day 1 no matter the team, also thought Adam was good too...

You just give me the impression that you will be happier than a pig in mud to get rid of drivers...I am not against progress but eventually with production/manufacturing all being outsourced...there becomes noone left that has any money to purchase anything.

From what I have heard, they are recruiting straight and tractor teams...solos in both are over supplied right now...personally if I am driving tractor trailer, I would be doing something more specialized such as flatbed. Even with van trailers, the freight would have to be more readily...

Empty in Dallas, at the J for now.

Empty in El Paso...not holding too much hope for anything out of here any time soon.

Just spoke with Tom in Compliance at OOIDA and he is going to look into all of this and I will update what he comes up with...a) under 10,001 lbs being cited for bypassing a scale, and b) over 6,000 lb gvwr vehicles required to have trip permits etc.

We have prepass/ez pass combo...not going to run w/o because I pay a flat weekly fee and they cover the tolls. And, it was one of our other drivers that had this happen and weekend ops person asked me about it. I have asked them multiple times if we had to get permits or anything in AZ or NM and...

I have a question, have made some phone calls (OOIDA, AZ DOT, others) but noone available on Sundays. A Sprinter for my company was cited for not entering a scale in AZ. They have prepass/ez pass combo like most of our vehicles (mine is listed as over 7,000 lbs but under 10,001 lbs and 2...

I'm just fine, I know we don't get much on weekends and out of Laredo it's hit or miss...they had a only one coming across this weekend and I was 2nd out...they offered me the paid move so I took it...I had a load deliver Monday, and an El Paso to Laredo on wed. I'm pretty close to my minimum...

Got a paid relocation to Dallas from Laredo. We will see if that works out.
