RE: driving job Bluethunder, Have you placed an ad in the classified section of this site? I did and received approximately 15 replies, over 10 within the first 2 weeks. I would say at least half were for van driving jobs, which was what I originally advertised for, but I got a few C and D...

Maybe I'm looking at this wrong, but wouldnt doing all that negate the very reason you go with a B unit? My personal reason for wanting to run a B is for simplicity of operation, less regulations, such as log books, scales, etc., while still making a decent amount of money. If you were going...

RE: Reality Check from FedEx CC!!(Much better week) Well,, like I said, I was ready for Monday, turned out to be Tuesday, bt oh well, much better runs and layovers this week. As I right this I'm at layover in Pittsburg, so hopefully I'll get out soon. Shows how one week can change your...

thanks for the walk down memory lane Lawrence, I'm just not sure whether to feel nostalgic......or just old!!! And hey, between Dukes of Hazzard and Charlies Angels, who needed any other show.....cars and babes...what else did a teenager need??? :-)

I think you're right. My "original" plan was to stay in service 24/7 til I got a reserve built up, but after those couple of days I took myself out of service for the weekend and put the top down on the old convertible, turned off the cell phone, turned up the Eric Clapton, and went for a...

I liked that Thumper!!! I'll have to steal that line!

Well guys, ( and girls ), I got my reality check today!! Sat for 2 days, 135 miles from home, because they "needed" me in Lexington, KY. Out of 6 vans, only me and one other were authorized to be there, and since I got there a day earlier, I would be first out. No loads dispatched yesterday...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-27-00 AT 10:59PM (GMT)[p]LAST EDITED ON Jul-27-00 AT 10:50 PM (GMT) Need help again!!! Just returned home from my first few days out in my B unit and quickly realized the inadequacy of my sleeper. As far as room and comfort, I have plenty. I have a bulkhead between cargo...

RE: Classified Job Board (to Lawrence) LAST EDITED ON Jul-23-00 AT 05:00PM (GMT)[p]Thank you for the good wishes. I really hope to have a good experience with this. I was in the business 6 years ago, but left after less than a year due to the O/O I was driving for canceling his lease. I was...

Having decided it was time for a career change, I searched all the papers in and around my hometown for monthes. After countless calls, interviews, resumes sent, I still had not found anything satisfying. I finally decided to get into expediting. I had originally decided to buy my own...

Can anyone make suggestions as to lower proced laptop computers for in truck use? General use, accounting, word processing, email and such. Models, prices, places to buy? I've been checking Radio Shack and other places and can't seem to find anything decent under $1200.00. Perhaps it would be...

First of all, congratulations on the new baby girl, I hope she brings you much joy. Now, back to the question. It will be very hard for you to make it in the expedited business if you want to run "out and back". I know this because it used to be my philosophy. Yeah, you're home a lot, but you...

I've used a Cobra 29 for several years with little modification and done fine. There are more powerful (and expensive) radios out there, but for reliability and overall performance, I don't believe you could go wrong with them. I believe, last time I looked, you can get one for around $125.00...

Same here in Ohio, I filled up yesterday at $1.77 per gallon, got up today, thought I'd top off the tank before heading out again.....$2.08...same town, same station, 24 hours later!!!! These prices are getting ridiculous.
