Greetings to all, has been awhile since I have been around due to major eye surgeries which took me off the road 4 years ago, truly miss it, but seems like you always remember the good times. Matter of fact in 97, when I started, those were great times. Anyway some of you may know of this...

i/40 is now open, has restrictions on wide trucks, see link for more info. NCDOT: Travel Information

According to TV news tonight, I-40 is scheduled to reopen Tuesday April 27. This should be a relief to many. Suggest checking TN DOT to stay up on opening. Who knows, they could run behind. Good luck. I-40 to reopen April 27, six months after a rockslide closed it | Asheville News | Mountain...

Know everyone is gritting their teeth everytime they pull into a fuel stop so I'm throwing this out for what it is worth. Don't know if it works or not, but if you make a kit to try out yourself you won't invest a lot at your local hardwre store. There seems to be a lot of info on the net about...

First of all was in expediting for 10 years, van freight, had to give it up about a year ago because of war wounds compliments of Uncle Ho, Vietnam. Missed the road so have gone back to work, part time work which will not aggravate my health situation as I will not be sitting in the truck...

Currenty my bunk runs from wall to wall (horizontial) I'm looking for a way to mount the bed on the wall of the van (vertical or front to rear) over the wheel well so when not in use it will fold upwards. Thickness of the bed is about 8" because of the heavy duty foam mattress so I need to...

Saw my blunder after I posted.

Just for info. On May 13, 2006 (last year) I got on the toll road at exit 49 Buffalo NY, and had to get off at exit 50. I wound up in the EZ Pass lane and was no way to move over. So I just drove through, parked went back in to pay my .15 cents. I was told that I could not pay it that they...

Well I'm coming to the experts for advice. I have ran Firestone and Bridgestone the last several years on a one ton van. Got 126,000 on the current set and it's time to change. Called several Firestone dealers and can't find the Firestone tire I wanted but especially the Bridgestone...

Just a quick question and suggestion in regards to insurance. I have ran for two different companies in the past and was of the impression that the deduction for insurance included comprehensive insurance as well as liability. When questioning my current company I have been advised that...

In addition to your search for information on transportation/expedite companies check out the following site which will give you safety record, number of assigend drivers and other facets which may be of interest to you. Type in company name and select the option "name of company".

I stand corrected (possibly). After doing further reading, I may have confused "Workmans Comp" with "Short Term Disability" and therefore I guess I have answered my own question. Guess it's best to put the horse before the cart.

A question in regards to "Workmans Comp Insurance" which many drivers are having to pay for. First off it is my OPINION and only an opinion that this insurance "covers your employees, not you personally". Am I wrong? If so why would an owner/driver have to purchase this insurance? Next...

Wondering what others pay. I have paid anywhere $10.00 to $15.00 for a van wash. Some were good, some were bad. This week I got a wash for $10.00 at the Eagle Truck Wash, across from Flying J, in Walton KY (just off I-75). It was a teriffic wash, which included a brush wash, came out...

I will respond at a later date when time permits in regards to the removal of my post listing numerous expediting companies, many which I am sure are unknown, which I thought would have been a great benefit to drivers trying to make a living.

I will email photos to those seriously interested. Could not down size the photos. Be paitient if you send me email, I may be on a run. Thanks
