LOL ! That sounds like the three red mountains.

Sorry for the absence, I've been too busy with life to reply to all the comments ( pos & neg). Thanks for the perspectives.I have been fairly busy as a solo, got stranded in Omaha for two days,stranded in Maine 3 days,KC 2 days, St. Louis 1 and a half days.and so on. I like my carrier fairly...

Any of you solo straight truck drivers having trouble getting loads in the last two weeks? Does not seem to matter what part of the country I'm in, getting any kind of load out has been a real pain in the a**. Mostly I'm interested in the drivers of the four major carriers here. I'm considering...

Jessup Maryland,just south of Baltimore,lovely place(like a nightmare).

The best way to stop this activity is to take the criminal element out of the picture. Decrimilize the drugs,legalize marijuana and place a tax on it,grow it here in the states and put the same restrictions on it that alcohol carries.That way we gain income from the sale of a legitimate...

AMEN to that Bro

Thanx for the info,I'm calling my rep now to support HR2200 in Mi

No load is worth your health and safety for all those around. He should have refused the load and reported the company for clear violations of the federal hazmat code.

Wow. It looks like in certain parts of the country the J's are different. Here in the southern mid atlantic, they're pretty good, at least to me they have.It's been hit and miss in the mid west and west though.Here in the south I'm kind of partial to Petro,thats just me though.

Had to live in Ia. for a year and a half, not the sharpest tools in the shed.

All trucks boycot Oregon, make em suffer, lol ( yeah, right )!

Hi, I'm an ASE cert. mechanic and can tell you that a scan will not always tell you if a coil pack is going to fail ( and Fords can fail quicker than the rest). Try going to the MSD replacement,they're far superior and last a long time.They have been engineered for the rigors of racing and...

Having been a dyno technician doing durability, fuel and emissions calibrations, my vote goes to the DD60.The US still makes a great diesel engine for commercial uses,so pick your favorite ( Cummins,Detroit,Cat ).The big three diesel engine manufacturers produce brutally robust and rugged...
