As one of those yuckie recruiting people that do those god-awful background checks on ya'll, let me tell you what happens. Before any contact with previous employers, etc., are made, the applicant has to sign a disclosure and release form. Many times this is located at the end of your typical...

You people made my day with those pics! Thanks. Silly

"Have any of these people driven a truck?" Obviously not. Keep on keepin on, Silly

People: It's so easy for all of us who don't live in that region to watch the nightly news and be critics of the government. What's done is done, and can't be undone. The truth of the matter is, "All people can do now is help as much as they can, and worry about the other legal issues later."...

Lawrence, I noticed recently that a few of our fuel stations have closed down. Unleaded prices here in Toledo are 3.10+ per gallon, and diesel was 2.75+ per gallon...but that was on my way into work this morning... I'm hearing that in the Carolinas and Georgia areas that fuel prices are...

I would have picked up that good lookin' hitch hiker, left the ex 20 years ago instead of 5, and I would have gone to college like my momma told me to! Wolf...why do you always have to ask the tough questions??? Silly

Lawrence, Rated it at 1 because it was low. Reminded me of when I was pregnant and my ex used to make me carry in the firewood for the woodburner (which was our only source of heat). Now there's an "ouch" for you. Silly

"I would also reccomend some kind of mental class." Class is in session... What type of truck do you have? We've been keeping our straights and tractors pretty busy here. Silly

My ex totaled 3 pickups hitting deer, and the deer totaled my car one time (THEY ran into ME). The insurance company actually asked me if the accident was at least 50% my fault! Darn deer should get insurance! Silly

Hi Wild Wolf, Welcome to the club! I think the most important feature of this forum is that you can post any questions you may have about trucking/expediting. Most of the replies you'll receive come from people that have great knowledge and experience in the transportation industry...

Dave, Call me silly, but is your truck really a cartoon? I'm on the other end of the stick here...I'm the one making the dinner that doesn't get eaten! Silly

Ricky, Our Safety Director put together a booklet on expediting a couple years ago. If you're interested in a copy, you may email me your name, address, and phone number to [email protected] Silly

Rich, I've left my gas cap on the pump before, but have never taken the hose with me! That was entirely too funny! Silly

To all concerned about the hazmat endorsement: I recently read an article in "Keller's Motor Carrier Safety Report" (April 2005 Vol. 31 - No.4) regarding the new federal and regulations pertaining to the hazmat endorsement. Here are the main points in the article for your reading pleasure...

Good luck on your new adventure Hobo! I was sorry to see that you left $1500 in the hole though. Hope you can recoup the majority of that! Silly

As my mom used to say, "If you boys want to fight, then go outside and fight." Silly

I'm not sure if there is a standard contract between an owner and a driver, but I have written individual contracts for quite a few of my clients for a fee. I don't think anybody will send you a copy of anything for free. Silly

RE: Epedited Experience vs Life Experience vs Truc I have no idea why I was doing that. Not paying attention or thinking. I'm blond - can relate!

By stating outright that you won't go to Canada (not that you can't but you won't), you're limiting yourself on the expediting companies that may have hired you. Your attitude and unwillingness to go to Canada is not a quality that most carriers look for in their drivers or owner/operators. We...
