    Morals, religion, and accepting certain loads

    Like I said, just because I personally wouldn't haul that kind of stuff doesn't mean that I'd condemn someone who does. We're all different...have different beliefs, ways of doing things, likes/dislikes, the list goes on and on. These differences are what makes us who & what we are in this...

    Morals, religion, and accepting certain loads

    I'm sure that I'm about to get lambasted for this but here's what I'd do and why: IF I knew that the load was ANY kind of porn, especially kiddie porn, I would NOT haul the load...no matter what it paid. Why? Because this is MY OWN personal moral and religious beliefs and reasons. I am NOT...

    Question about express one

    I totally agree with you. I've been in this business for many, many years...so I have a good grip on the reality of expedite. Unfortunately, my friend is pretty gullable & pretty much believes what he hears from recruiters......which is kinda sad. That's why I was trying to get some input from...

    It could be worse

    Our first expeditor truck was a ford 550 with a coffin sleeper. Truck had no A/C and rode like a sherman truck. Picture 2 adults and one full grown black lab riding in a truck like that for 2 - 3 months at a time. Aaaaaah...the 'good ole days'!!!!

    The Good Times Thread.. or What are you thankful for?

    I am thankful for the drivers that I have right now. They are some of the best that I've had in a L-O-N-G time....great work ethics, great attitudes, great personalities, and just all around great people. Oh..by the way...did I say they were great?! :)

    Handicapped

    I have a team in one of my trucks that has a handicapped sticker. Why? The co-driver in this truck had both hips replaced awhile ago and still has trouble with his mobility. Even has a special chair he has to use in the shower because he's not able to stand for long periods. The lead driver...

    JR

    I don't "HATE" JR...but I do think that nascar picks & chooses who they want to penalize and also picks & chooses when they want to throw a caution for 'deprise' when they want to change thr results of a race. The nascar rules should be applied to ALL drivers at ALL times...not just for the...

    Frustration

    I feel your pain!! Finding a good co-driver seems to be getting harder and harder anymore. It doesn't seem to matter how much you pay them, how much home time they get, or how big the sleeper is (including all the bells & whistles), drivers still seldom last. I find that trying to find a good...

    JR

    If any of the other drivers had tried to pass below the double yellow line then come up & spin a driver out like JR did, the announcers would've torn that driver to shreds with their commentary but seeing how it was JR that pulled that stunt, they went easy on him. In my opinion, JR is waaaaay...

    My favorite restaurant

    My hubby is a McDonalds buff. Eats off the $ menu most every day when there's not a Golden Corral or a Ryans around. He was excited the day he called to tell me he was @ the world's largest McDonalds in OK. He's a country boy.......go figure!!

    D units hauling cargo van freight?

    My drivers quite often haul 'van' loads but get paid truck price. Alot of the times, while the load can fit perfectly in a van, the customer demands a 'dock high' vehicle, which is where the straight truck comes into play. It has nothing to do with favortism or thinking that the van driver(s)...

    At&t cell phones

    We got the MOTOROLA TUNDRA phones and a MOTOPURE CRYSTAL TALK bluetooth. Have only had them for a week, so haven't really had time to fairly judge them yet. Any of you have them and if so, how good are they?

    At&t cell phones

    I am curious as to how many of you have an AT&T cell phone and what kind of coverage do you get? I just switched all ours from SPRINT to AT&T.

    Let Us Help Each Other

    I have mutiple trucks on with TS and with another carrier and like wolfeman68 said, last week was one of the worst weeks for freight....and it WASN'T just for TS either. Out of 10 trucks, I was fortunate to have 1 or 2 of them on loads each day. Like wolfeman68, these trucks are going to be my...

    Truck Dealers

    I know how you feel. Like you, I was taken in by a smooth talking dealer & got a royal screwing on a new expediter truck. Like you, it made me wary & distrustful of all dealers BUT I ended up finding a dealer who earned my trust & now, I will only buy my trucks thru him. I put this poor...

    Anyone moving

    I have one of my trucks sitting @ the J near Muncy, IN. They said it was a mess out there....lots of snow & ice. It's aweful here in upstate NY. We got about a foot of snow and an inch of sleet & ice. It's still sleeting out. Good day for me to get my paperwork caught up.
