RE: TRUCK DRIVERS WANTED FOR A NEW TELEVISION SHOW WTG Dreamer, You hit the nail right on the head, in all three catagories! Too many times, as with most everything, a few people (loosely stated) ruin it for the rest, we spend 90% of our time dealing with 10% of the problems. As I am...

thanks cherri, I will look there but sleep is needed real bad first.

wat to go chuckwagon!

Newbie to Expediting, not new to trucking...That being said, correct me if you will, "Union"...the act of uniting or the the state of being united. Ladies and gentlemen, I find it very disheartening that you can't get 10 somewhat educated truck drivers to agree on what color the blue sky is...

Look professional, act professional.......be precieved as a professional. A nice clean appearance (driver and truck), all records (logs, permits, etc) readily accessable and the level of inspection will probably stay at a 1, as stated before, neat, up to date logs is the first indicator of how...

Cheri, The good, bad and ugly is welcome, I want to learn it all! I have learned a lot already just reading back and will continue to learn. I will have my truck on Tuesday, be in Rockford on the 13th then.........Looking forward to meeting some of you out there real soon, maybe share a...

Thanks Leo, I really enjoyed my phone conversation, Rich is a hoot and as you say, VERY knowledgeable. Trust me, I am paying attention to all of you and I feel very comfortable getting into this line of work. Bumping a dock has been very good for me, and I was good at it, now is the time...

Did I say something wrong????? (like Landstar, lol) Seems like a lot of you are from Fedexcc. If anyone can, without predjudice, tell me the pro's and con's, likes and dislikes, of these two companies I am open to anything. You have to start somewhere, right?????:)

Thanks so much, seems like you made the right move. If all goes well, i should have my truck in a few days, Lord willing! Ken

Just a few things about me, I have been pre-qualified with Landstar Express America, I am going to be solo out there, I have read many post on the pro's and con's, but if anyone can steer me in the right direction as to where I need to aim myself to stay busy, I would appreciate any input. I am...

I am beginning to believe that! What I like most is the attitude that we are in the best place, doing our best and that will shine through for others. I am sure this will be a culture shock at first but I can adapt to anything given the right tools and support that I know I will get from you...

Davekc Thanks, I was given his number from the great couple I am getting my truck from. In all my years of "big Trucks" I have never been treated like an equal when it comes to honest info, this is a cut throat business. For you old hands to be willing to share the "real" deal, and welcome a...

First off, I would like to thank Rich M for talking with me and giving me some great info, it is really hard to find people that will help you get ahead in the trucking industry. I have found more information, more people willing to help, and just a more friendly atmosphere since making my...
