OK, this Technotard needs some advice. I am planning to get rid of the phone and broadband card I currently use. I plan to get a new service plan that gives me unlimited talk, text and data. I'll then add on premium data for 4G service and add on hot spot so I can connect the laptop. My...

I am currently running solo for a little while. Last night I did a run that took 14 hours to complete. Upon arriving at the truck stop I put myself on status 88 to get some rest. Fours hours later someone from accounting called looking for paperwork. I was polite and told her I was sleeping...

Is there anybody going to be in Laredo Monday 10/10? I have a drop there at 1000 and will be heading to the TA.

There was a big tire fire at the Kingdom City, MO Petro shop today. The tire fire started outside the shop, caught one wall on fire and a storage trailer that was parked next to the tires. I have photos but do not know how to upload them to EO. If someone wants to PM an email address I can...

I learned a couple of days ago that when we are put on hold by our carrier the call continues to record. I just assumed that when on hold and I am talking to my wife that we are having a private conversation. Not so, everything you say is being recorded and when they have to go back through the...

How do you market yourself and your services to brokers and agents? I know Landstar BCO's do this and so should anyone running on their own authority that work with brokers. (I think this will be of interest to those of us that wait for the beep and our carrier to find us a load.)

I received an email (spam) from Panther today offering $1000 sign on bonus for a van. It says it is only for the next 30 days, so all you van guys call right away.

Does anyone know how to find a dentist while on the road? I am going to try the Iowa 80 if I can make it there during business hours. If not I need to find one that will take me Thursday or Friday. I have a crown on a post on my front tooth that came out and I need to have it re cemented. No...

Can someone explain how a company like YRC can stay in business when there stock has become practically worthless? I know at one time back around 2006 there stock traded above $40 per share. In Oct, 2010 there stock was down so low it was about to be delisted on NASDAQ, so they executed a 25...

Today I saw a Sprinter 3500 Cab and Chassis at a local fuel stop. I had to make a U turn and go back to ask the driver about it. It was a 2009 170" WB with a used Peterbilt 63 inch sleeper and a used Supreme 10 foot long, 102" wide, 85" tall box on it. The driver was taking it to a paint shop...

The cargo area of our truck body is getting really beat up looking from the wild forklift drivers out there. It is structurally sound but is getting huge gouges in the wood. I am thinking of putting a 3/8 inch layer of plywood over it (glued and screwed) and a few coats of polyurethane. Does...

Am I the only one that keeps getting messages while on a run that say, "Moving?", "Please send 08 if stopped" or "current location please"? One would think that with this modern QC and $35 a week charge that they would know where we are and if we are moving.

Is there a max weight that CC will load on a "C" truck? I am talking about a 16 foot box on a three axle truck that could take 22,000 pounds.

A friend of mine who runs mostly the western states is ordering a new truck to replace a Hino that was wrecked a few months ago. He was able to salvage the 84 inch sleeper and 18 foot box. Here are the specs he sent me on what he is ordering next week. 2012 Peterbilt 337 Motor: Paccar PX...
