Moot, In your described situation, I agree you should be offered the load first instead of being bypassed because you are able to go to Canada and the other trucks are not. When we were with FedEx WG, we were often put on WG lock so we'd be available for those loads. I understand the reasoning...

That being said, those conditions could work to your advantage as well. You get the load because you have the lift gate, reefer, Canada qualified etc. I also see where acceptance rating could bump you in the "favoritism" category. Would seem to me, if you know your numbers, that it doesn't...

We brought a good paying load into ND last Thurs. We were offered another load on Sat. night, P/U in Winnipeg, deliver in Beach, ND, the load paid ok, but dispatch declined the bonus that we asked for. Did we second guess ourselves after declining the load? Heck yes! But the load would have...

From the tone of the post, I believe he's slapping himself enough. ;) Glad to hear that it was just metal that was damaged. A good wakeup call for all of us.

Waffle House or Huddle House for breakfast! We did discover Truckers Inn in Sauk Centre, MN has an awesome breakfast. Normal TS fare is terrible for all the reasons previously mentioned. We cook in the truck most of the time

We accomplished everything we wanted to get done, now we're sluggin again.:p My kingdom for a good paying load!! Diva...we blew a turbo on a company truck one time....I was driving too :o

I would figure the amount you need to make the run, and if it doesn't pay that much decline the load.

We're still sitting here in Fargo, ND on a Sat. morning. Today is laundry, shower, Walmart run, vacuum the truck, clean windows again (our 3rd driver keeps leaving nose prints on them) day. We were real slugs yesterday while the wind was howling and the rain was falling..just sat and watched...

Training together would be tough. You'd have 3 people in a truck. I'm assuming that you're going for tractor/trailer driving?

My in laws tried the zip lock eggs and said it worked great!

LOL DD...I was thinking the same thing! Hey India...sounds like a good movie night to me. We're sitting here in Fargo, ND the wind is howling but at least the temp is in the 50's

Makes ya wonder why they got into trucking?

You've heard about people who have been abducted and had their kidneys removed by black-market organ thieves. My thighs were stolen from me during the night a few years ago. I went to sleep and woke up with someone else's thighs. It was just that quick. The replacements had the texture of...

Dang! Now I'm hungry!:)

WOW Turtle that's a great set up! I've never seen the inside of a expediter van so I wondered how it might be set up.

I think having a reefer and gov clearance has helped us in the last few weeks. We took a load to FL, and got a reefer load right back out the same day. :eek:

Please accept our condolences in your time of sorrow. Our prayers are with you

I think the difference is there isn't a shortage now. People will slow down if they want to save money, if not, then let them fly. It's their money. We've noticed a slow down of big trucks as well. We've set the cruise on 60mph, and we don't seem to be getting passed or passing many trucks now.

Heard this on the news this morning. The pumps at Cisco Travel Centers in GA have been shut down again pending investigation on fraud and racketeering. Cisco Gas Pumps Locked Again - Georgia News Story - WJXT Jacksonville We stopped there back in January, and noticed that all the pumps were...

Thanks Greg :)
