Want to purchase a set of Drives (Bridgestone) Where should one go, and how much do you think 4 will cost? Thanks in advance..

Regarding the load, the last two (20 skids) would not have been able to fit in if a fork lift had to stack the last two on top of the bottom last two. I was not thinking it thru when I posted above. This is why they needed the exra hieght and loaded all skids double stacked. Allthough the...

LIES, just watched the news tonight. Wondering how big this New Orleans FEMA theft story is gona be. Insist George did nothing and someone lines their own pockets, deep very deep. I feel terrible for anyone loosing a home, but how am I or you responbile for rebuilding another one for...

I would not let the BAD WEATHER convince me of not having barn doors. This is Expditing the most you open and close this in a day is twice, LTL yes there is more of a need when one is a PUD driver. Moot had good advice, one piece of advice I can offer "More parts = more problems" Yes one...

Out West last summer, Fall.... Three Cancels in a row. The first one had me DH from LeBeck, CA to Vegas. Spent Saturday evening and all Day Sunday, in Vegas in the truck 110F. Sunday evening I go sit at the shipper, only to find out NO FREIGHT. I will not mention the Carrier but they...

QT and Wilco seem to be the only two chains that do not charge a different fee for Credit Card use. Like we are suppost to carry 4-6 weeks worth of cash with us to fuel. We are being taken advantage of by these big guys. Leo told me about the TRUCKERS ADVANTAGE through OOIDA, if your not a...

I know very little about this company. Last summer I delviered with a Nations Cube Van. He highly encouraged me to get on with them since I live in Charlotte. If I were not so happy with C&M his advice would have been tempting. Guy was with them for a couple of years and very productive and...

Idle Air is only a fraction cheaper than Ideling. Roughly and someone will correct me about $2.50 an hour or little under so think about it 24 hours $60.00 now thats some major change cheaper to get a Motel. I see why they have to charge that amount but an APU will really help you keep cost...

One good thing about (hopefully) Pro Heat is that Carrier bought them out. So DH for service is no longer a problem for me. I have spent as much in DH miles than I have for the repairs.

Listen to Mr. Niel Bortz talk show host. This guy is brilliant, bashes both Republicans and Democrats. I believe he also promotes your book by the way what is the book? I think a new tax system on goods purchased is much more fair. Figure this one out, why are we not allowed to have Saving...

Greg hate to tell you your wrong but your WRONG. Go to any Doctors office and whats the first or second thing you must show other than a Insurance Card? ANSWER DRIVERS LISCENSE what does it say on that CDL Thats how they know, and it is there job to know and also to ASK which every...

When it rains it pours. I just had the most stressfull delivery ever. Convention Center, followed the instructions, get truck weighed before arriving. OK show up at Convention Hall I did on time acutally early, handed a piece of paper this is the largest tourist town outside of NY in the...

You can pretty well rest assured that your Doctor knows you are a CDL holder. If a doctor prescribed it even if he did not know, and I find that doubtfull cause he is gona ask or know what you do for a living, than it would be the Doctors liability not yours. Example, heart medication will...

Not a believer when someone says ( fuel savings of 10% or more) I just do not believe in overstatments. Here take this pill, eat like a pig, do not excersize, and we promise you to loose 4 inches a month in your belly. SIGN ME UP.... That is why there is EO someones gona usually know.

I have found I can drive myself nuts trying to figure EVERY LOAD. So I don't. I cannot or will not beat myself up cause the next layover spot is 50 miles or more away. I like to figure things out weekly and monthly I do not care for what one load does, its the month that is important. We can...

What is the % vs down payment you are talking about. What is the FICO score also? Credit Unions, and small banks, it takes time but make a relationship with someone WHO IS GONA BE THERE YEARS FROM NOW.. This has seemed to be my bad luck with Big Banks. Worked with South Trust for years made...

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...

I keep hearing the ads on the XM 171 does this really increase mpg and horse power? If so how does it work and what are benefits. Says it pays for itself in one month? Just curious.

Any comments from the voices of Expierences?

I am glad we can agree to dissagree here. One suggestion, MT, UT, etc... Ask for DH back to a better loacation. I did this last year to Edmonton, AB. Sure enough the customer said WE NEED IT THERE so pay the driver. I got a load from Lexington, KY, to Edmonton, AB paid right back to MNPS...
