    ICE on Truck Roof

    Complying with the no snow and ice laws on the trailer is no problem for us and we are happy to comply for the safety of others on the road around us. I simply grab my special 4' 2x4 snow remover, stand along side the deck and begin scrapping. No need for a ladder, and if I fall, I aint go'n...

    Looking for ideas/input for a drivers facility.

    Now we all know that every good "lounge" has a great bar (bottoms up!!!) and Wednesday night should be "Ladies Night" complete with an all male revue of the Chippendales or the Boys from down under. Friday night could be "Guys Night Out with free beer and well drinks and barmaids wearing nothing...

    What would you do if your present carrier closed?

    Just courious why Southern Pride. Were you an aviation hauler in a past life? Did we possibly see you guys at the customs lot in Miami with the other SP trucks? If so why did you leave that to do what you now are doing? For us, if Aviation Express closed its doors and Southern wasn't taking...

    To those who change shower heads

    Would love to give away all of the shower credits that we earn on our J, Pilot, Petro, and TA rewards cards since we have our own shower and never use them. After a while they expire and are wasted. That's ashamed! If I see ya at the fuel desk getting a shower I'll surely let you use my credits...

    If ya gotta sit during this storm, get paid!

    Any other time I would probably be BTCHing up a storm for sitting and waiting on a load to go. But not this time! For some reason (maybe our guardian angel was watching over us) the engine that was supposed to be ready at 11:00 am Monday morning in the Houston area did not clear for realease and...

    Places you hate to go

    No stress here! I just like yelling at ignorant people that are stupid enough to first yell at me and deserve to be yelled at! LOL As I'm getting older and more ornery, I'm putiing up with that crap less and less!

    Places you hate to go

    Any location that has a wanna be cop for a guard that lives on stupid pills and treats all truck drivers like they're trash! Had one the other night that really got on my bad side. Arrive at customer one hour ahead of schedule on a HOT load that HAD to be (per the customer) delivered and off...

    stolen van AND MY DOG 2 YEAR OLD YORKIT

    This thread is a sad reality for ALL traveling pet owners and their pets. As ones whom have our dog on-board with us, our hearts go out to Jeff. This I believe is everyone's fear when traveling with their pet, be it a commercial vehicle, recreational vehicle, or one's car. We, as the...

    Ok Everyone, LET ME HAVE IT! Poor it on hard!

    Why are you going to wait thirty days to file suit? File it the day you return the truck! Especially if you are required to file the suit in the county the owner does business/resides in, as most of the time is the case. If they pay you prior to the hearing date, you can always drop the suit...

    If your freight could talk, what story would it tell?

    Well, we didn't get to follow through on the journeys of the free turbine, An AOG (aircraft in the ground) load came up and we were needed to rush an emergency part to get it back in flight asap. After that we picked an replacement engine up to take to a cargo jet that had developed engine...

    This thread is very much on base. But for the sake of arguement let me rephrase it by saying Those christian drivers that intentionally break the law while advertising God and/or their faith in God all over their truck do so thus placing God and what God stands for in a negative light in the...

    Why do Christian drivers...

    No matter what the value of one's freight, it is ALL important and ALL should be handled as if it were priceless in my book. My comment is in no way meant to demenish the importance of anyone's freight. My point was to help one understand more my reaction and feelings related to when I'm being...

    Guess it would have to do with what their docturine says and what they preach.
