    Moving up...

    Don't you have to have recent driving experience in a TT to move up?

    If you have time visit the South Pointe Casino. They have an excellent buffet with all you can eat prime rib. Security will let you park there overnight. A really nice place.

    DH'ing home to Florida for a week. New co driver starting March 2nd. And lots of stuff to do for the adoption of our grand daughter. Home study, references, fingerprints, interview, etc. I might even have time to work on the truck. That is if I ever put the baby down.

    Saying "no" to cheap freight!!

    Why do the larger carriers keep brokering fright to the companies that are under bidding them. I understand the partner carrier concept but it seems this just helps keep the low ballers in business.

    Saying "no" to cheap freight!!

    What happens when your company is the cheapest and you are running your wheels off and suddenly a new player enters the game. This new player decided to undercut you buy $.20 a mile. Now you are sitting and this new company is getting all the loads. Do you cut your rate to be cheaper? Where does...

    Saying "no" to cheap freight!!

    Currently near Dayton. The roads were in very poor condition. Did 45 most of the way. WK Parkway had one lane poorly plowed. Louisville was a disaster.

    I am snowed in near Fort Campbell, KY. Managed to drive 30 miles in 90 minutes. Apparently Kentucky doesn't have many plows in this area. Most roads including major highways are not driveable from here. Hope this clears up soon.

    Solo Straight Truck or Solo Tractor Trailer

    If you have a class A use it and drive tractor. If you drive a straight truck for a few years you won't have any recent tractor experience and will most likely have to start over again to get your experience back. Starting out in a tractor also gives you some flexibility. If you don't like...

    One winter my wife and I were on a run that went past our home. We stopped in to grab a few things. No one was living there at the time and everything was shut down. When I went to use the restroom I was shocked to discover that the toilet bowl water had frozen. The reason for the big surprise...
