    why would anyone not secure their load?? Just asking for trouble and it sounds like he found it.....doesn't make sense not to secure a load.

    Truck Driver Recruiter Pay Scale

    Actually I try to never worry about what the 'other guy' is making. If ya do that you lose focus on what your trying to do and what your trying to earn. The only thing I worry about is my bottom line. Nothing more, nothing less. Worry about what others are making, etc. and you'll drive your...

    I lost my best friend this weekend...

    ****, that sucks!!! Be proud that you did what your mom asked and took care of Miss Buscuit until the end. Amazing how a pet can creep into our hearts. Remember all the good times and what a great friend she was. NEVER be ashamed or embarrassed to shed a tear. Reading these comments brings a...

    How do you like to run?

    It'd be nice to drive for 3 and 1 full week off. We never had the luxury of a whole week off @ home. We'd stay out a minimum of 3 weeks, more if the freight was moving. Then take 3 or 4 days off @ home IF the loads took us near the house. Usually by the 3 or 4 day the owner would be calling...

    Is TRI-STATE RUNNING or are they SITTING like MOST Carriers?

    Your just flat out in the wrong business dude. You want contributions to your retirement, benefits, etc. your on the wrong boat. Don't forget that your an independent contractor which translates into you working for yourself. It would be the same if you had your own business as a carpenter...

    Loves Truck stop Florida kicks out truck drivers for Bike week

    Dave, it's called Biketoberfest and it's getting as big as Bike Week. Just avoid the area during those events. No big deal. If someone does decide to venture to Daytona during Biketoberfest I'll buy the first round :)

    Loves Truck stop Florida kicks out truck drivers for Bike week

    It will be the same for a 4 day week-end during October for Biketoberfest. Biketoberfest is rapidly becomming as big as Bike Week. A conservative guess would be about 100,000 bikes and 2 or 3 million people for Bike Week. Biketoberfest is rapidly approaching those numbers all packed into 4 days...

    Carrier Awards/Rewards

    I agree for the most part on everything that has been said here. But isn't this what ever person wants whether it be a truck driver, factory worker or the kid that mows lawns in the summer. The kid gets paid for what he does but thinks "it sure would be nice if the lady would offer me something...

    Loves Truck stop Florida kicks out truck drivers for Bike week

    This isn't new. Happens every year during Bike Week. I'd just avoid the whole area. Not worth the hassle even trying to get to that Love's during Bike Week or even Biketoberfest in October. Bike Week draws millions of people and 10's of thousands of bikes all crammed in that small area. For the...

    Carrier cutting rates

    ATeam and Speedwagan, your exactly right! I wonder how many drivers even know their true cost-per-mile to operate. Probably not many, especially ones driving for an owner. When we drove we were lucky and had an excellent owner. He took very good care of us with quality, safe trucks. But we also...

    Carrier cutting rates

    I don't know how anyone can make any money in a straight getting $1.24 a mile let alone $1.12. Am I missing something?
