    Do we know who this is?

    So very sad. Sorry for the loss. Prayers going out. .....Seems like this happened to one of Barretts drivers a few years ago. It sure doesn't take much for things to go horribly wrong.

    You can't make any money hanging around at home........ I should talk, as I sit here wrapped up in a quilt, with a hot cup of coffee. Retired and finally learning to like it.

    Are their any PTL cargo van drivers out their?

    I was with them a long time ago. My experience there would not be relevant as far as income etc., but the people are the same. Good folks. They will treat you right. As far as how busy they are, haven't a clue.

    Ptl?

    You could do a lot worse than PTL but you do have to watch that old chubby guy in safety.

    Oh for the good old days!!!

    I have been semi retired for about 3 1/2 years now and the pull of the road is not as strong as it was. Still, there is one thing I miss very much. Is it the adventure? Is it the travel?....No it's my bed. I now posses one of those sleep number things and I have tried several other beds as well...

    Using Driver Relations as a decision maker

    Back when I had a "D" truck I attended a recruiting seminar for Landstar. I decided to go with their program and the recruiter gave me their imposing paperwork bundle. He told me not to try to fill it out mysel because if anything wasn't right it would lengthen the already tedious processing...
