>So where are you sending the $5? :+ A.The EO Retirement home fund.

You know you might reconsider where you park.Having your OOIDA sticker stolen might only be a symton of things to come. Theft of fuel etc. My co-driver insist on parking upfront in well lit area.I was reluctant at first,but I am sure it has paid off in security issues. DAM I hate it when she...

Yes you can make $4,200.00 a week,but not every week.That would be $218,400.00 a year.Those numbers would put a smile on anybodys face. The best question to ask is,"What does the average team earn per year"?.Then you can realistically add about 10 or 15%, because you are above average.(right?)...

RE: new husband & wife team looking for informatio One thing husband wife teams need to consider is the new Hours of Service effective Oct 1,2005. Teams may no longer split sleeper berth rest periods as in the past.A driver must spend minimum of 8hrs in the sleeper and another 2hrs On duty or...

If this is how you heard the news,you need a hearing aid. The news ain`t perfect,never has been,never will be.Its up to you to seperate the BS from fact. There are many news sources today,you need to shop around.If you only listen to one or more sources,you will be misinformed. Thank God for...

RE: Teamsters/Public Citizen Petition for HOS reve Schnieder`s position is exactly the same reason big business I.E. US Chamber of Commerce,ATA,Walmart,etc. It is to squeege every drop of uncompensated work out of drivers. Jimmy Hoffa, Joan Claybrook,and OOIDA is not buying it.

Jimmy hoffa and Jill Claybrook say new hrs effective Oct 1 should be reversed and that the old split sleeper berth rules should apply. http://www.etrucker.com/apps/news/article.asp?id=49247 OOIDA has allready filled a simular petition.

Another thing about sattelite TV in your truck.You can apply for a waiver to recieve the major networks.I.E. ABC,CBS,NBC,Fox. You send in a copy of your CDL and truck registration.It cost about $5.00 extra per month.(I dont think this would work if you are making an addition to your home acct.)

We have a low tech crankup dish,bought from Camping World and installed by Bentz. Unit was less than $200.00.Camping World also installs them. Works great,I can lock on the satelite in less than a minute.Of course you cant watch going down the highway.Personally I dont want to be tempted to...

I belive the run count is used as a tie breaker.

RE: The owners of Fort Wayne Truck plaza have been putting money into the place recently. They have expanded the parking lot and the store. No doubt they are getting ready for the stiff competition that Fying J will give when their location at I469 and US30 is ready. Last I heard it was still...

At FTWTP You get to the "Bull Pen" for expedite vans by entering with the big trucks. It is located right by the fuel island.Front lot is now for cars only. I suspect All Types had something to do with this move.When you park in the pen you see signs promoting their co.I hear they will have...

OOIDA has pettioned the FMSCA to reverse this rule and allow split berthing to continue. Whearas my co-driver has threatend to jump ship we are going to try this. Driver with less stamina starts the run. Driver B then drives 10 hours. Driver B comes out of sleeper and competes the run. This...

So far all the information and claims made by Air Tabs regards their use on tractor trailer combinations. I doubt that the same conclusions could be drawn for straight trucks. Will a study ever be done to include us? I doubt it.

Read about it..Sounds like it all about union busting in the US. http://www.autoindustry.co.uk/news/industry_news/14-09-05_14

Maybe the driver needs to lose some weight.(Me Too)
