Simple really. 1. Camera phone with nice little pic of the action. 2. Nice little email with attached pic to Safety Dept of carrier. There is no excuse for this kind of behavior. Just pure laziness. I am not the type to "tattle", however, it is people like this who will ruin it for the rest of...

dieseldiva, Sprint is pretty much the same as Verizon. You can pay $2.99 for one day use or $9.99 for unlimited. One of my friends uses Verizons navigation and she likes it. It will reroute you automatically if you need to take a detour, ect.

Nevr-Dull. My husband has used this product for years and it works great for us. It can be found at WalMart and Home Depot. Visit the link below for more info... What

We use MS Streets & Trips on our laptop and have never had a problem with it. I like to print out a map of the Shipper and Cons locations ahead of time so we know exactly where we are going. You can follow the streets along and know when your turn is coming up. It has worked for us. We now...

We used to run 5 and 5s when we first started driving. Now we drive 10s since the new HOS. Obviously, whoever thought up the new sleeper berth HOS did not have teams in mind. We figure if you are going to drive 8 hours you might as well drive 10 and not have the hassle of working in a 2 hr...

Scuba, Can Panther fleet drivers access the Drivers Web, or only O/O's? Thanks!~

We have never been to a Flying J that we didn't feel safe at. A few other truck stops that I would never leave the truck at (at least at night) are: the TA in Atlanta (south side of loop), Walt Whitman Truckstop in Philadelphia, the TA I think in Jessup, MD (the one with the hotel in the middle...

InIdaho, In regards to question #1 you can drive 11 hours (not 8) under the current rules. Also, from what I have been told from a couple log departments for the companies I have worked for, anytime you are driving your commercial vehicle, it must be logged. You can get out of the truck and...

OMG. these are HILARIOUS!!! I think I 'll be picking one up too!

I know with Jenny Craig, after you lose a certain percentage of your weight goal, you slowly start adding back "regular" meals one at a time while still eating Jenny Craig food for the other meals. Not sure about Nutrisystem.

Anyone ever have an issue crossing the border either way with a pet. We have a small dog (Chihuahua / Toy fox terrier mix named Paco) and have heard that a pet could be quarantined for no reason (even if you had all shot records) at the border for a minimum of like 7 weeks at a cost of $100 per...

Definitely keep us posted on how you like the food and how well it is working. I did Jenny Craig for a while and lost some weight, but the cost was over $100 per week for the food and you had to go in every week to get it. Nutrisystem appears to be a little more reasonable.

Hello all. I wasn't sure where to post this thread since we aren't really "newbies", however, it is about choosing a carrier to haul for. We have been off the road for a while and are looking to get back into expediting this summer. We hauled for Panther several years back and more...

Ours is to sock away a little more into the savings, then get rid of the 9 to 5's and get back into an expediting truck by the summer!!!! Can't wait!

We have one of these too (Express 101). It is great. You can buy the shake pancake mix that you just add water to and have pancakes in your truck. There are also a variety of muffin mixes you can buy that you just add water to. I like the stuffed soup recipe where you use a large can of...
