We have been getting some extremely long deadhead miles on our new flat rate load opps. Example: 477 dh 45 loaded. Is this because no one will do the short runs on the new pay plan? It amazes me that they could pay me to dh that far but not pay a truck in the area a fair rate to do the run...

We lost the pin from the handle of our fire extinguisher. Now using a paper clip. Does anyone know if this is a DOT violation?

This has been our slowest month in the last 2 years. Anyone else feeling the pain?

What do you like or dislike about the new flat rate pay plan? I like, All tolls paid Hazmat pay Dry run pay All miles paid (no more 50 free deadhead) I dislike, Minimum load pay (I don't think it pays enough) Deadhead pay rate (it will prevent long deadheads but is better than relocation pay)...

It cost me $160 to learn something new today. Three weeks ago I delivered on a Saturday in Mayport, FL. I was given a planned layover of Atlanta. Since it was the weekend and I only live 100 miles away I went home and out of service for a week. Once back in service at home I received a load...

My wife and i always shared a shower but now that I have a new co driver I am wondering how to get team showers. I know at T/A and Petro you just take your shower ticket to the counter and ask for a team shower. How do Pilot, Flying J and Loves handle this?

Awhile back I was considering hiring a co driver to fill the seat my wife vacated to become a full time Grandmother. In that thread my next door neighbor contacted me.

Does anyone have a driver contract they could send me that I can use as a sample? If so please send me a PM and I will send you my email address. Thanks, Jim

I am thinking of adding Hot Spot to my Sprint Smartphone plan. It only adds $10 a month for 5GB. Since I am running solo I am thinking I can get rid of my WiFi plan that is $60 a month and save $50 a month. My contract is up so no cancellation fees. I do have truly unlimited usage on this plan...

I am considering hiring a co-driver to replace my wife who was my co-driver for the last six years. She is going to stay home and be a full time grandma now. I need advice on what to look for in a possible co-driver. What kind of contract will I need? What should I pay? (I was planning on...

Is anyone using Duron-E in there trucks? It's made by Petro-Canada. My local shop did my last PM and is convinced it is the best oil on the market today. They recommended 25,000 miles between oil changes.

Monday night for the first time in my life I found myself cheering for the Lions. As a Dolphins fan I wanted the Lions to beat the Ravens thus putting the Dolphins a half a game ahead for the final playoff spot. After watching the entire game and cheering for the Lions I was suddenly aware of...

If you didn't see this on the Tonight show, I hope you're sitting down when you read it. This is probably the funniest date story ever, first date or not!!! We have all had bad dates but this takes the cake. Jay Leno went into the audience to find the most embarrassing first date that a woman...

A young New York woman was so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing herself into the ocean, but just before she could throw herself from the docks, a handsome young man stopped her. "You have so much to live for," said the man. "I'm a sailor, and we are off to Italy...

When changing drivers is it necessary for the new driver to do a 15 minute pretrip? We do, but not sure if it is required. The other driver does a post trip and a VIR.

Has anyone replaced the range valve on an Eaton Ultrashift? What did it cost? All of the shops in the area are backed up and can't get to it for about a week. I may have to do it myself. Looks like 4 bolts and an electrical connection. Sent from my EVO using EO Forums mobile app
