I kept meaning to post this and now my brain is working. Two Friday's ago I departed Tulsa, O.K. 94 that early afternoon by the time I got to N.M. early, early the next morning 38. I realize in the winter it can change by larger #s that was steaming hot to WOW wear did I put that jacket, in...

This is just a suggestion. When I know I want service done and am under a load to town ABC I always call in advance. Thus I either have an appointment or am told come on in (I do this a day in advance). I have noticed I get treated with more respect than the guy who just shows up. I know...

How much does it take to get $1,000.00 of fuel, cash, or repairs? What fees are involved?

Thanks again for the filter, but I want to give you that $ back for the jump I gave you. It was unecessary and after thinking about it I feel like a heel. If you read this contact me thru private EO e mail and I would like to send it back. If anyone knows of this team bring it to there...

One item I would like to add cause I asked my accountant. If you use a Home Equity Line to support any part of your business the IRS will not allow you to deduct it from your business schedule C. Thus you will be paying the full amount in taxes on S.S. and also State Income tax as the States...

There is an intresting for reading debate about a major carrier going on. Could not help but notice one person who has nothing good to say sticking his opinion where it just does not belong... I have no part of Panther or Conway so my opnion would just show that I am to nosey to keep to myself...

We post on here exposing ourselves to ridicule. Thats part of the game and fun. I will admitt that my decision (which really was not) to purchase a Pro-Heat was the wrong decision, but to buy a AP unit is a very smart, money saving tool. Its just that a tool. That is just one point I wanted...

A good friend of mine is looking into putting the ESPAR unit on his truck. $300 down $250 a month. Is this a lease or purchase does anyone know? Now I do not believe that this only burns one gallon every twenty hours. My comments on my own personal Pro-Heat I will post later but if you are...

Delivered in Boise, ID yesterday. On my way out of Little America I have only one more state to add to my list of 48 and all of Southern Canada, Utah. This is one state I shall never forget. US 30 just scoots by so I figured I will take US 89 that cuts the upper NE corner. Well it was...

Many people are being suprised when actually reading there statements and just paying the min. This is the new tactic to stick it to you. (If you are carrying a balance) They are now running a credit check on you about once a quarter, if they find your income vs credit used is over what they...

Found this comment most intresting. Last Friday the President of CFI was being interviewed. Yes he (CFI) advertises regulary on the XM171 but this guy truley seems to care deeply about the Transporation industry and his drivers. Anyway I am impressed. One comment I listened to that he was...

Actually 3 and half. I was kinda dissipointed at the amount of fuel I used in that time, I figure it to be about 40 gallons or just under. Very hot almost 100 from noon until about 7pm. What was difficult was the heat from the Sun, Laredo it cooked everything air temp seemed pleasant in the...

Help me out here Mike? I got it, just need some help with the job.

Colorado is going to suspend CDLs, etc... for OUT OF SERVICE VIOLATIONS Does this mean that if I understand this correctly, if you are put OOS for logs, or Mechanical and are cought violating them. What are the terms for a log violation, I thought it meant 10 hours you are side lined for. As...

About a year ago I fueled at the Pilot on I 64 just East of Louisville (2 at that Exit) The islands were covered with spilled fuel and sure enough I went down. I was not hurt but was bruised up, and my Ego shot to heck. Anyway I informed the cashier just in case something was hurt, and was...

Somewhere on one of these threads I read yesterday a driver posted regarding Dispatch. GPS Looking for own loads If Dispatch cannot find you a load in 2 hours he is on the phone Dispatch works for me The last line is the one I would take refrence to. This is not the truth, if you think that...

I just listened to an advertisement for a very large carrier. Regarding buying one of the used Freightliners 03-04-05 models, I guess the prices would proabably range between high 30s all the way to maybee mid 70s? Throw in a lease payment, insurance and everything else, this is what the pay...

Always wondered where are these newspapers available at, did not ever notice that they under all of the little Recruiting mags. I have always enjoyed finding one and taking it back to the truck. The journilists they have cover the stories in detail and somehow manage to really educate the...

This might be better off on the Layover Lounge, but here it is. Of all of the cities you have been to, which one would you want to go back to for a long weekend with your spouse. Say that you had one thousand to just blow after you got there. And Why that city. I bet Detroit never comes up.

OK, question here. Van Drivers and D units please if you answer this indicate which you drive. How much do you spend on Grocries, prior to your first run and if you stay out long enough on the road how much to restock. This is the one thing I enjoy doing is going to Grocery Stores. Why...
