OK.. maybe this should be in the newbie section, even tho technically I'm not... but dang.. Recruiters crack me up I've spent some time lately talking to different recruiters..comparing companies.... ya know, sometimes companies should call their recruiters and pretend to be a prospective...

I've been doing more research lately as I get ready to go back on the road, and have found a few things that new and old drivers alike could use. If Lawrence doesn't mind, I'll post things that I have found along the way that I think will make things easier. Somethings, like websites, etc...

Anyone see this on MSNBC? It was posted in another forum, I thought I'd post the link here. http://famulus.msnbc.com/famuluscom/bizjournal12-06-010307.asp?bizj=MEM

From Landline (key points highlighted by me!) The FMCSA recently amended sleeper berth rules as they pertain to the new hours-of-service regulations, which take effect in January 2004. These amendments do not change the substance of the rule, but are intended to remove some ambiguity in...

Hey guys, (and gals) I'm asking this for a friend of mine who lives in Columbus Georgia.. what expediting companies regularly go there, so a guy could get home, and what companies, factories, warehouses, etc, USE expediters there? (if you remember from your trips there!) Would appreciate any...

Talked to a Tri State rep the other day, about their new short haul division, which is non sleeper equipped straight trucks based out of Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. Apparently they just started doing this a few months ago, and I called to inquire, because I noticed in an ad, they were hiring...

Just wanted to stop by the forum after being away for a while and say hi. Lawrence...love the new look and new graphics! As those who have kept in contact by email know, I lost my ride back in December, due to the owner I was driving for deciding to get out of the business. I really did...

Well folks, looks like I'm gonna be out of the business for a while. The owner I've been driving for has decided to sell all of his trucks (4) and get out of the business after many years. I just found out last week, and take my truck to Canton on Friday, Dec. 22, to get the C-Link out, then...

Hey guys, I finally found two good ways to guarantee being offered great runs!!! It really works..... If you're at home, and you've been there all day, order pizza for delivery....the next phone call will be Dispatch. If on the road, splurge a little, stop at a nice steak restaurant, and...

Just thought it was kind of cool that Overdrive Magazine, normally geared towards the more "traditional" truckers, named an Expediter as Trucker of the Month. -----------------------------------------------

While at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles today taking care of some things, a clerk there who knew I was in this business told me of a man who had just left. He got pulled for an inspection at the Canadian border and was discovered not to have the proper liscence, (he had a no-airbrake...
