    Did you noticed America was shut down today?

    This entire situation has been caused by both POLITICAL PARTIES, playing games with $ and peoples lives. This border should have been guarded long ago, as I said above $ and peoples lives. I am currently sitting in Laredo, TX. Saturday evening I sat at Chilis next to a Father (60) and son...

    memorial day poll

    The better question to ask is how far would you DH home? Last July 4th I DH from Milwaukee to Charlotte, but took the following two weeks off. I was suppost to have a return load out of Milwaukee to D.C. but the people on the dock acted stupid and so did I. I will not mention the company...

    Introduction,and questions.

    Not meaning to be a smart A here, but why would anyone want to just Survive? If your gona do a business, go through all of the hassles we deal with out here just to survive, I just do not get it. If everyone took that position there would be no way any of us would ever make a living. My other...

    Danny I personally want to just say THANKS, nice job. This may be ones calling, but BILLS will never stop just cause the Post Office has a day off. These are the #s I have been hearing about. And most drivers could never be as sharp as Danny is. He is a good business person who knows when...

    Newbees you need to read RE: DannyO Brooms Q.

    Newbee Van wanabees. Please heed this mans advice. I cannot speak for Van owners but this seems to sum up what I have seen, and what seems to be the talk of Van Operators out there. Look at the #s he is posting $100 a day to $150 a day for just local. You can generate much more on the open...

    OK CREDIT

    One other thing, OK CREDIT the difference between success and failure, to much credit hurts almost anyone who cannot manage it. Choices one must think long and hard before agreeing to sign, but once one does sign, one must obligate themselves to the terms of the agreement no excuses, no...

    Fuel Islands Warning Signs.

    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...

    I am thinking of a career change.

    C or D trucks yes you can make a living but (my opinion) only with a handfull of companies. My observation is one can do just above break even with any company, but to save for retirment and replacement of a truck plus take care of bills at home you have got to be with the right carrier. My...

    Howes Fuel Additive

    I have not found it to be the case with Power Service Additives, and what ever you do, do not boost it. It clogged my filters last summer, although it was an easy enough fix, empty and refill with clean diesel fuel did not have to replace, but was encouraged to go fill up without adding any...
