Anyone running for a decent company who will keep the tires spinning? Just broke lease with former company, and got to get this thing rolling again, with someone who can make the grade. Have 2 trucks, one running sometimes (single, and SITS alot) and, if I could find a good place for BOTH of...

This Obama character is only here to ruin this whole entire economy anyway, and he's doing a great job of it. Can't believe that he's "conveniently" deaf to anything the American people want....all about his FAME and money. The FMCSA should have left the split sleeper along time ago. When...

I'll be praying for you. I inadvertently married into one of the drug infested families, but not my wife....the kids are grown, drug infested themselves now, and spitting babies that we get to care for through the "system". Unless we can extract the babies from them, the cycle will continue...

Sorry for inconvenience but I had 2 calls and an email, for a team to do low stress expedite on Friday, Unfortunately, I had NO idea they were about to give me notice the following day. If you are teams, with good references, and clean backgrounds/MVRs', please contact me again. I apologize...

Got one truck on with Baggett and one with Polly (formerly with Bolt). Broke contract with Bolt due to base rates being down and drivers complaining, so dumped the contract and ate those costs.

I agree, Hawk. Guess this guy wants the whole pay...never mind paying the truck payment, huh?

Anyone see anything wrong with a 60/40 split, with the driver buying the fuel? Also need to add that owner pays all tolls, additives, and expenses otherwise incurred....gets none of the FSC. Also Norpass, prepass, XM radio....direct TV...not currently working, but getting fixed....wiring...

Can't believe you're still there!

Hey...I know you!

I am an owner who recently just put my other truck back on with Bolt. I can't tell you what life is like now, but I CAN tell you they're a growing thriving company with their own customer database. I drove for them in early 2005, and they ran my tail off. I was OK with that part, but, as a...

I can top that one. We have 2 trucks...one of which I put out of service until further notice, due to a lack of a godod driver. But, we took our other truck and continued to do business. We were home, and, at 03:30, my phone rang, with a run offer from the company I had put the truck OOS...

I quit using them when my wife and I purchased a movie, only to find out they were running the minutes as well as the movie charge. The movie was terminated mid-stream, and we terminated our service. We have an APU and satelitte TV......no need for these overpriced people who take MORE than...

[/COLOR] I would say closer to DEPRESSION than recession, given the number of baby boomers retiring everyday, and the folks already on fixed incomes, and the fat oil billionaires thumbing their noses at a failing government....I'd say depression

I would say after we spent about $100.00 in their restaurant that day, and the restaurant folks said it was OK to stay there.......should've been enough. BUT, since the night auditor and the RAC waited until the restaurant closed....then called the police, tells its' own story, doesn't it...

After having done hotel management for 11 years prior to becoming a trucker, I could've totally understood, if we hadn't spent any money at their establishment, OR we were disturbing their guests by being there. But, since we DID spend our cash, and we weren't even in the hotel lot, but behind...
