I also know about grocery warehouses, first 10 yrs driving TL. I would say what I like best is the uniqueness of the freight. Yes, that they are happy to see you, and often suprised your "on time". I also like that I can refuse loads if choose, go home when I want, etc. I can't believe the...

I always hate any of the new OS when they first come out. I'm still getting use to the newest updates with serv pck 2 on this thing. But I will eventually give in and get it, then complain because I don't like where they moved buttons to.

I think it is difficult for any one to say what they would do untill they were actually in that position. Often people say I would or would not do something, then if faced with it they find themselves in a whole different world. I sincerely hope the motivations of all involved are pure, in the...

The only situation where you would like the fuel surcharge low is your a driver getting 40% (any percent would apply) and the owner pays the fuel and keeps all FSC (as should be). But as the driver, the lower the FSC the more your getting paid your percentage on. For example - a $1,000 load w/...

As said there are many varibles. Usually someone will be sited for "driving too fast for conditions" or "not allowing a safe, assured following distance". The media certainly tries to make it sound like it is the trucks fault, and some traffic officers may assume it's the trucks fault. Something...

Waiting has been the hardest part for us to get use to also. I like to get puzzle books and work them. It helps keep the mind sharp, kills time and can be stopped at any point if you get a load. On the weekends when we're likely to sit till Monday, we try to see some sights...take advantage...

Just curious if any one else is of the opinion that the anti idling laws are or could be in direct conflict of the "purpose" of the new DOT HOS. What I mean is the "reasoning" for changing the HOS was to assure drivers were given the opportunity to get the proper rest needed in order to be safe...

RE: Diesel price versus cost, or whose $20 is that Leo, Thanks for the info. Since I drive for an O/O I hadn't thought about the tax issue when purchasing fuel, simply the pump price. I will pay more attention now. Also I do want to get my own truck someday so I have a question. When it...

We just got home last night (actually 3am this morning). I about lost it when I saw the local station had gas for $2.30 their highest grade premium was $2.50 and diesel $3.05. Diesel is still less processed than gasoline. Even adding in bio should not account for a $.75 increase over the...

I've had Nextel for about 6 yrs, left Sprint because I was very unhappy with their customer service; just my luck they bought out Nextel. But so far the customer service has been ok, just this week they made an adjustment to my bill of over $100. I personally love the walkie talkie feature and...

Only been with Fedex for about 4 months, but I have found that they will give you an honest answer if you ask. When I ask the dispatcher about the area we are going to they have always told us. A recent example is a couple weeks ago we had a offer that we asked about (I knew it would be a slow...

Thanks everyone for the input. We have decided to definately start by driving for someone else first, and to go with a truck. We contacted someone and will meet with them this weekend, we will ask if we can contact some of their drivers to get their input on the owners. We plan to start...
