    Extra Money Expediting

    Maybe it's different down there, but our insurance is outrageous, and I was told (by insurance broker) it wouldn't make much of a difference in a van... same liability risk/coverage, same cargo coverage, etc. I was thinking Carpunky would be better off applying at courier places to see if...

    Truck Rams CTA Station on the Dan Ryan

    Well, not necessarily, becuz I believe you are allowed to drive a CMV if you have 'type 2' diabetes (which is the kind you can tend to get due to lifestyle choices). Has anyone considered that perhaps he fell asleep at the wheel from just being tired?

    Truck Rams CTA Station on the Dan Ryan

    If this is the case, he may well have been aware since he refused a urine test. They did take his blood however. Maybe he has internal injuries from the crash. Who knows. Anyway, very sad. Weird, no mention of his kids visiting.

    Can I make it?

    In a word? No... Haha, just kidding! But really, everyone's perception of 'making it' is individual.. some will be happy as long as they can make the same as they would have made as a Walmart cashier.. others have much higher expectations.. nobody can determine whether you're 'making it'...

    Hino Nightmare

    Spend the weekend looking into your lemon laws.. I remember reading something about.. so many visits to the repairshop for a certain thing.. they can't fix it.. it's deemed a lemon.. As well as counting to 10 repeatedly, and taking deep breaths of course :eek:

    Panther tractors...$1.30 a mile?

    Would you even know for sure if you would be paid for the 50 even if you DO take the next load offer?

    check this out

    Looks like it's pretty accurate from what I can tell! Recently we were given a pile of addresses, with directions obtained from this site.. didn't pay much attention since we have a GPS.. but as it turned out, the directions from this site were more accurate than our GPS, would've saved a bit of...

    Hino Nightmare

    I really feel for you, pal. After reading all the stuff on this forum about people's misfortunes with this manufacturer, we will never consider one. Husb expressed interest in them awhile back. Even if the few on here complaining about the problems are small in number, relative to all the owners...

    Important Ruling on In Cab Laptops pending

    Hindsight is great, but we would've loved to have heeded Phil's advice when husb was getting into this biz. We definitely wouldn't have chosen the one we did. We didn't realize all the different options available at the time. We hadn't yet discovered this site, unfortunately. It's an expensive...

    Important Ruling on In Cab Laptops pending

    I have to agree as well. Ever since our family has had a digital camera, there have been no new photos in our house, they're all on the computer, rarely looked at, while the old fashioned kind are easily accessible. I tell myself that 'someday' I will get some prints made, but that day seems to...

    Another Freightliner horror story

    That stinks! So I guess you must choose the dealer wisely, yet how are you supposed to know which ones know their stuff??!!

    Another Freightliner horror story

    I shouldn't be asking this becuz I know nothing about how these things work, or at least, how they are supposed to work, but when this happened, wouldn't the manufacturer step in to resolve this problem between repairers, to make sure their customer is covered and their reputation is intact...
