A few years back New York began making changes to the requirements to run through that State. They put off renewal of the HUT permit/sticker. I gave up on waiting for them and never followed up because I just was not going through there. Now I do have New York included on my IRP but no HUT...

Wow! What a Truck. What a time. I had a chance to get to the Expo Saturday and it was great to see folks from my past and meet some new folks. I was very glad I met Lynn& Shelly and got to go through the truck with them. That truck is fantastic and more impressive is what they have dedicated it...

I am going to post this and try to attach a picture. If it turns out I am unable to figure out how to do that, I request that one of the people lurking in the dark delete it due to my ignorance. LoL Last Saturday I was doing some rewiring of my chicken lights as I ready those connections for...

Last Wednesday or Thursday I was running south on I75 in Cincinnati. Right about the 14 mile marker there was a Tri State tractor trailer burning. It appeared to be a Volvo tractor in fact it may have been a TeaCup. Does anyone know if the driver or drivers were injured? Does anyone know what...

I haev been on here for a good while now and love the site and really am happy to see it growing and doing so well. Do you smell the big but coming. but, it is getting so loaded with ads and banners and other stuff it is really getting tough for me to open and enjoy. It seems to open slowly or...

Teacup Express? What are they all about? I thought I had read they were all about female drivers but I saw a couple well and man and woman in a tractor and they were pulling a Tri State trailer. Now I may have missed something and will admit I have not looked them up other than to click on the...

Not sure if this is doable or even desireable but I thought I would throw it out. Would it be possible and or worhtwhile to put an area on here where carriers could be rated? Something set up that would allow folks to rate their carrier. Do it by handle and only one vote per handle per carrier...

I wanted to post a good luck to all note as I am going to discontinue my posting here. I have been a part of this site for sometime and have enjoyed it most always. There have been times it has been more of a fight than useful but for the most part I always enjoyed it and have found a lot of...

I have read the two posts about owner problems and I simply must be missing something. I do agree with all the advice on how to go about returning the truck but as for the post on why, I simply have to be missing something. As I read the post it said the truck took more time off than the...

right before the long weekend I got my new 80 gallon aluminum tanks on my truck. All set to go I ran one night and then set out Sunday to polish them. By Monday morning I was in the hospital with pain like I have never had. Good news is I was released Friday late morning. The bad news seems to...

As many of you know almost a year and half ago I decided to stop going broke and get out of the Fleet Owner role and go after the money myself. I simply had an awful run with drivers and many of you know those stories so I will not repeat them. Since that time I got my hot little hands on a...

As many of you know I have been dedicated now for a year. I have come to love this and will have a hard time going anywhere else when that time comes. On to my topic. Last night at Ford Batavia in Ohio I ran into an Express1 driver at the gate. He asked me who I ran for and so on. A pleasure to...

With each passing day I see more and more people of all ages driving as if they know nothing of how to drive and drive properly. Are the new cars being made without turn signals and mirrors? It seems to me that the average driver on the roads has no respect for anyone else or any of the rules...

Has anyone ever used OOIDA services for Insurance or Financing options? I am going to call them next week to see if they can get any better rates on truck insurance. Just wondering if others have used these services. Raceman OTR O/O

Last week I witnessed a hit and run accident. It happened in Mason Ohio on Fields Ertel Road. I reported it to the Warren County Sheriffs departments and a Deputy did come to scene and take a report. I got the description of the van, the driver and the numbers of the plate. I am unsure if it was...

If you read the thread that was locked due to personal attacks and questioning of others experience etc, you will see this is the same type of thing that has happened in the past. When this happens the cycle takes time to clear itself up and while that time is taking place the site becomes pot...

Recently I have tried to give feedback to folks and I feel out the form and I am then told it was added but it never shows up in thier rating or comments. The most recent was left for Friscomike and Scott Hancock. Can someone tell me why this is? I would love to be able to give these folks...

Well last week my dedicated run was put on hold because it was shut down. You know the Automotive shut down. In any case I ran OTR while down. So I took the time to really use my GPS programs. If you all recall I have both Microsoft Streets and Trips and CoPilot Truck. All of my runs were to...

Many of you know I hung a box door on an I beam. I had it rigged for a week now in order to work. The hinges are "Special" and had to come from Canada. AlumiBunk is to thank for that. $80 a hinge and there is three on a door. Then the shipping and handling and labor, total repair = $480.00. I...

As most of you know I have been running dedicated for a while now and have come to like it. Well it is ok. My question is, Is business picking up? I have to admit being dedicated and no longer playing fleet owner, I have not kept up except with rumors from those I run into at my picks and drops...
