    Avatars and Screen Names

    was made famous by Tina Turner I've been some version of Pelicn since the first time I got an email address (which is the reason for the spelling). Growing up in FL and being a beach rat, they fascinated me. Graceful in the air, and clumsy on the ground....just like me :D

    Round Trip or Return Loads

    We've had a few round trip loads and they've been dispatched as one load. We've also hauled a nose cone like the one pictured, except it was for a lear jet. :D

    Drive-By Postings

    Yes, we all have opinions but, when you sign up on this site, there is a set of rules that you agree to abide by correct? If you don't like the rules, then don't sign up. Obviously, a drive by poster hasn't read the rules.

    Ummm...Scuba...take a look at this Tail of the Dragon Panther and FedEx represented along with all the other misguided folks. So much for the "shortcut"

    K-nine cab searches

    Boy do I feel stupid! We've not had an inside search of the truck, so I didn't even consider that the dog would alert by scratching. We have leather seats and our cabinets are not scratched so I would definitely be upset if a search resulted in damages. Learn something new everyday!

    From Experienced driver back to student?

    Streakin what you described sounds reasonable. I wouldn't expect a company to just let a driver jump into a truck without some type of refresher. It's the "you've not driven for X amount of time so you need to go through the complete training again. When I went to school, we had a man in...

    Too Funny!

    I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver, who cut right in front of a pickup truck, causing the driver to drive onto the shoulder to avoid hitting her. This evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm out his window and gave the woman the finger...

    From Experienced driver back to student?

    OVM I could understand re-training for you, you have been out of a T/T for a long time, and you say you haven't pulled a 53ft trailer. Someone that hasn't driven for 3 years being required to re-train? A driving test, a refresher class on a range would be understandable, going back out with a...

    What do you look for in a carrier's website?

    When visiting a business website, I also do not want blinking, flashing etc. As a driver, looking at a carrier website, I want information that will help me with my business decisions. As a customer, I would want the information to be clear and in a logical order. I would also want basic pricing...

    From Experienced driver back to student?

    Streakin, We talked about that issue just recently. Hubby and I have now been out of T/T for almost 3 yrs. Without retraining, we can not go back. This is an issue that I just can't understand. What other industry makes you retrain like this? Once you know how to do it, it's like riding a...

    Thanks to EO member for help

    This is getting ridiculous! David, what ever problems you have with a carrier or member or whatever take it to the source and leave the rest of us out of it. What purpose does it serve besides getting more comments that are irrelevant. This is a waste of time and effort. khalid2009, if David...

    Why would a driver have an issue with this if they have nothing to hide?

    April Locations

    Just finished watching the Thunder Over Louisville....Even though we are sitting on the street, and had to catch glimpses of the airshow and fireworks around the buildings it was an awesome show. It's really cool that we got paid for it too! ;)

    Who is the Worst or The Best owners

    We feel that we are good drivers with a good owner. We never have to worry whether the pay is correct or on time. Our owner provides great equipment. Our owner doesn't micro manage, but is there for questions. We stay out for 6 weeks most of the time, and we don't usually go home unless we...
