I've seen a show on the "death road"! Thats NUTS!! Thats one road you couldn't pay me enough to drive on...no way!

Oh No...my hubby and I have had a great few weeks in January. I figured it was just a fluke so we'll save our good fortune for the hard times. Drive Safe!

We are in Richmond, VA, sitting at a Pilot watching the snow falling. Its very pretty when you don't have to drive in it! Its probably 30 degrees or so outside.

You are talking about the story of my life...really. My husband and I married in 1999 and we decided that if "it" happened...it happened. One year, no luck...two years, no luck. After 4 years we went to the Dr...they couldn't find anything wrong. Then it seemed like everyone was getting...

Its been only 3 days and I've lost 3.5 lbs!! I'm about 50+ lbs over my "ideal" weight so I'll probably lose quite a bit the first week then I'm sure it will slow down. Its seems pretty easy to follow and the food isn't bad...there has only been one dinner selection I didn't care for (beef...

A week ago we went from WI to AZ, took an empty move to LA, sat for one day, then got a load all the way to GA! We also love getting out west every once in awhile! There is less traffic, a nice speed limit, and beautiful scenery. Plus CA has never disappointed us...Never! The 4 or 5 times...

Hey all! I just wanted to tell everyone about Nutrisystem! Its working really well in the truck! We swung by the house a few days ago because my big box (50lbs) of food had arrived! I had to clear out some room in the truck but I've managed to get it all separated and put away. None of the...

We've been hit with sooo many randoms these past 6 months and I don't know why?? Two days ago my husband and I BOTH had to go for a drug screen (his 3rd...my 4th in 6 months)!! I drink only water...could this be the reason? Are my screens coming back dilute? No one has told us anything. Oh well.

This has happened to us twice now... We accepted a load with a certain amount of miles, picked up and delivered without a problem. We sent in our paperwork then a day or so later our QC beeps with another copy of the receipt for that load. Upon further inspection everything was the same...

I can't believe how hot laptops get!!! We just bought a cooling device from Walmart that works great! It only cost 24.99 and plugs in through your USB connection (doesn't need to be plugged into the wall which is great because thats one less cord to worry about). The device is a small plastic...

We had a funny load a couple of months ago. We delivered some food packaging late one night to a Cadbury factory in Illinois. The hubby went in to see where we should dock and came out with a hair net on his head and face! LOL!! (He has a long goatee). After he docked and was about to walk...

RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening Wow! Good for you layoutshooter...you must be doing something right (or extra lucky). To think the hubby and I were actually excited to get a run over 200 miles today.

If two identical trucks run the same loads with the same FSC and buy the same price of fuel...after you crunch the numbers the drivers on the 60/40 split probably do make more. BUT we have to look at the BIGGER picture. As we sit here (having our slowest week all year) I'm not freaking out like...

My husband and I drive for Charlotte and Terri and the 40/60 split works well for us. Our previous owner had us pay for the fuel (but we only received 52% + fuel surcharge) and some weeks went so badly that we went into the negative! Sure, we made some poor choices...we were new to the...

I'm sure everyone can understand your frustrations (whether your with Panther or not) We hate the QC sometimes too (especially when I'm driving at midnight and my hubby is "trying" to sleep)! LoL! I wish you nothing but the best. Some people fit better with Panther, some with Fedex...others...
