We have a black lab that goes with us all the time. He's great about waiting to go to the bathroom when we stop for fuel, food, or a bathroom break ourselves. If for some reason he can't wait, he'll let us know then we find a place for him to do his business. He has his own cup in the cup...

No,it's not a flat screen but we're still happy with it.

I, too, have had a problem with finding good drivers. It seems like the more you give or do for a driver, the more they want and it's you who will get burned in the end. This happens to me time after time. It gets real discouraging but I keep plugging along. You can only do so much...

I sure wouldn't be crazy enough to chance it. The consequences if caught would far out way everything. Guess I value my job too much 'cuz I wouldn't even try to have it in my truck at any time.

We have that exact camera system on one of our trucks. We have the black & white with 3 cameras and the monitor. Don't have any complaints with this system. It works great for us.

My guys got a small load going to LA last night. This afternoon they got a B load going to Oklahoma. I had already told them to grab the first load that was coming east to get them back into a better load area. The pay on this load is not the greatest but at least they're heading back this way...

Thanks for the help jack....really appreciate it!!!!!

My guys delivered Wednesday in Portland. I also don't consider weekends 'days'. I look at weekends as 'off time' unless they're under a load. I deadheaded them to Sacramento because that's the only place the planner wanted them to go. I was told that there were too many trucks in Reno, so...

They were #1 on the Reno board for a C unit and they're #1 on the Sacramento board. We drive for Fed Ex Custom Critical.

Is anyone else having trouble getting out of the far west lately? I have a straight truck that was sitting in Oregon (Reno board)for 4 days without a single load offer. Deadheaded them down to Sacramento, CA yesterday and they're still sitting. They've been the #1 C unit on both boards. Maybe...

We were thinking about putting one of our straight trucks on with UPS in NY and have called and left them a couple of messages. So far, they haven't bothered to me back. I'm definately not too impressed with them. I have to agree with Hammer: as a woman, I sure wouldn't want to wear an ugly...

Going to Easter service at church then making dinner for some of the elderly who would otherwise be alone on this holiday. Missing my husband who's out training a new driver and won't make it home for the holiday and will have to suffer with a truck stop Easter dinner.

It sounds like you definately had an uncaring owner...more concerned with the almighty $$$$ instead of his drivers lives. Not all of us owners are like that. You did the right thing by getting out when you did. I hope you sent this person the medical bills. If you ever get in that situation...

We used to have Dani for our CC and he was fantastic at taking care of all our questions and problems. The lady we have now is ok but a far cry from what we were used to with Dani. Ever since this latest CC change, we have gotten excellant results by talking directly to a supervisor when we...

From the sound of it Marvin, you got burned from a crooked owner and are still real bitter. Not all of us owners are crooked, just like not all of you drivers are crooked. All we can do is to learn from our experience if/when we get burned by someone. Going thru life being bitter and revengful...

Just want you to know arkjarhed that my husband and I are owners AND drivers. We've been driving for over 15 years and we aren't the kind of owners who get to stay home. We're out there driving just like our drivers are. Granted, we owners need you drivers but you drivers also need us owners...

I do several phone interviews but unfortunately, some of these people get by my 'radar'. There are alot of good liars and pretenders out there. I guess no matter how well we think we do our homework on a driver, their true work ethics and personality will eventually rear its ugly head. There...

They pulled their ad. It was posted on Feb 28 under TEAM AVAILABLE section titled "what can you do for us?

I have not noticed a big change in the pay with any of our trucks. We are alot more choosier in the loads that we accept now than we were before. We also choose our own call centers, which has kept our deadheading down considerably. Getting a partial amount of the tolls back has been a big help...

Unfortunately, there are alot of drivers out there who are 'game players' and really don't want a driving job. They get their kicks out of jerking owners around with their lies and games. I've had the displeasure of dealing with a few of them over the years. On a positive note, there are...
