Last night I posted a ad looking for a co-drive on a local online job board..a guy txted me and has done nothing but talk about how Petersburg is the best...he has been driving for years, and he refuses any load past the mississippi river...think ill pass on that ine Sent from my SCH-I535 using...

just got to thinking of drinks, I am looking into taking out a coffee maker and making tea for me to keep in the fridge as well. I will drink about 1/2 a gallon a day. I don't wanna stick with cokes or stuff because I will get fat quick. I can already tell that my wife will be cooking non...

I love grilling. Only problem I forsee is cooking while my co-driver is behind the wheel. I will look into it, thanks for the info. I also am going to look at the fridge website too.

I agree with you, a few years ago I almost went out for Schneider, and I asked them this question about a small portable grill to take out. The recruiter told me that having a tank of propane(regardless of the size) required me to have a haz-mat endorsement, and some companies wouldn't allow...

Another one, I was talking things over with the wife last night while shopping and we started talking about what all i will eat while out. I'm figuring I will have a supply of Ramen dinners. My wife does the extreme couponing crap and can get the yakisoba dinners for like 19cents a piece...

Ok..not really...but I just wanted to get in the mood..after trying to figure out what trying to eat, and the boredom of being stuck indoors I made a decision....I fired up the grill....just thought id share my love for grilling! Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

Thanks guys. I think I'm going to wait until end of feburary to go out. I will have my tax return by then and I should be able to afford everything I need. I talked to expediters this week and the don't want me to run solo, just as a team. They tried to get me in a truck next week, but with...

I woke up last week and it was -7 at 5 in the morning....to hades with this polar vortex....i'm ready for some tropical vortex!!!

In 2012 when working at ford I locked the keys in my 03 f150 at work...gave them the vin and they cut they key in 5 minutes....can't hurt to give them a call and check if they can cut you some Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

I would visit a local junkyard and find you a ford and remove all of the stuff to add keyless entry on your rig. If you have some basic wiring skills, you wouldn't have a problem to add this in. If you use a ford system, you can get the keypad aftermarket from them for about 80 dollars(I have...

Granted I don't know much about rigs such as this, however I did sell fords for quite a while. I can tell you that if you get a chance at a 02 7.3 power stroke, jump on it. People go nuts about those motors because they are one of the most reliable diesels on the market. I would get at least...

Well I try to be as hospitable as possible. Lately I have had the bad run of things, and the way things are going for me is that I'll get stuck with a bad one. I'm am thinking about eventually if I don't mind it, I might get my own truck and go at it. I have found great things about...

I've been researching and every time i find the answer to one question, i think of 2 more. If i start with a co-driver(most likely through expediters services) and I don't mesh well with them, what usually happens? I have been looking into going solo, but I can only find cargo van jobs. I...

That's one of the biggest thing that scares me. That last job I took driving was for a company about a hour away from me. Hauling feed for a pretty well known company in TN and neighboring states. I quickly found out that they were expecting me to run 16-17 hours day. My 2nd day training, my...

Agreed....think Denver is gonna take it all in a few weeks Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app
