    I 65 NB in Alabama at a complete standstill

    Avoid this section of highway for the next several hours. I hear traffic is being diverted off the highway due to black ice and several accidents. Around mm 310-318 is where the problem is. SB traffic moving. Been sitting for an hour not moved.

    Slow Freight IVX....

    Only got 1171 miles this week. Many drivers I've been hearing from have also had a lousy past couple weeks. Anyone got a good explanation on why this is happening? I know gas prices have dropped (for some). And I know that with the nasty weather lately may have been affecting it, but I...

    ohio and split speeds

    Did Ohio get rid of split speeds on all the roads or just some of the roads? This law is confusing some roads like US 23 and I-76 are still marked 55mph trucks 65 cars. Some like the turnpike and I-75 are 65mph for cars and trucks.

    Backhaul Websites for Cargo Vans/LTL???

    Are there any good websites out there for backhauls for Cargo Vans? I've tried Getloaded.com several times and customers don't want to pay any kind of money for freight to be hauled, and it's hard to find freight for cargo vans. I'm sick of Deadheading all over the country to find freight. Does...

    more $ in van or straight truck?

    Ok folks. I got a class A. I can't drive a semi for Panther because I have to have 6 months experience. I currently drive a cargo van. Would I be better off driving a straight truck "for" an owner/operator or would I be better off as an o/o in a cargo van? Panther doesn't seem to need experience...

    Ridiculous Gas Prices!

    Ok, when is the insanity going to end?! Why do the fuel prices keep climbing. Corporate gas companies have to be stopped. Diesel and gas is way to high. The news is saying that people are going under. Ok, either government has to put a cap on gas prices or we are going to become like a 3rd...

    Tires: Nitrogen vs. Air

    :)Ok. I am curious as to whether or not Nitrogen is available for use in tires on Cargo Vans. Does anyone currently have this on their vehicle and if so what are the benefits? Is there any "real" difference between the two? IE: Better gas mileage or a smoother ride? Just curious to the...
