    Best Expediter Truck

    We drive a Hino also. I agree on the power issue, but toyota is taking care of that problem with the 2010 models, they are putting in a bigger engine. Now as for the sleepers, you can have many type of sleepers put on them. The one we have is 96". Plenty of room for two people. And a lot of...

    need advice from the seasoned vets

    Verbal contracts are considered legal in most states, just harder to prove if you go to court. That is where the judge will hear both sides and take any documentations and any witnesses that were there at the time of the agreement. Then the judge will take everything in consideration that has...

    Here is our situation. Our owner requires his contract drivers to put up a $1000 security. It covers the deductible for damage to the truck or freight that we are carrying. In the contract we signed, it is our responsibility to make sure no damage comes to the truck or freight. So, we have...

    Are you reagy for a TAX Increase!?!?

    Well, if they are going to start taxing everything, why would I want to pay income tax? Hell, I'm going to need the money I pay in income tax just to pay for the sales tax. If we have to pay for both, I can not save any money for retirement.

    Driving a straight rig w/o a cdL?

    I was talking with a friend in Oklahoma about a week ago. He raises goats and was talking about doing that. He was talking about buying a TT to haul is goats and as long as he registered it as a farm truck, he didn't need a cdl to drive it. He could go as far as to drive it on the open roads...

    I would suggest that owner to lease on some where else. I was told not to say how much we are getting at our carrier still, but most of you probably already know, but were still making the same since the beginning 1 1/2 years ago. And they are keeping it the same, because they realize, if they...

    Don't worry, they will get you one way or another. Once they realize taxing cigs isn't going to do the job they are wanting, they will come after the rest of you. :p:D

    LOL I love that comment. But, in a way, is that not the same, politician or porn star? Each receives large sums of money for doing things we may considered wrong in many ways. :D

    Gps units

    Ya, I'm like you. I'm comfortable with TomTom Gps systems. We started out with the TomTom One 3rd Edition. We used that for about 1 1/2 years and recently bought the TomTom 730 Go. I heard at one brief moment that TomTom was looking into making one for professional drivers, but haven't...

    LOL I agree with you on that wellarmed. That is why we won't do any Canada runs. I just want to support in the US, not in Canada or Mexico. That is why believe the same thing about Mexico. Mexico and Canada people think so highly of themselves, stay there then. Leave us alone. Quit taking...

    I couldn't resist when I saw you post this. You were defending someone for name calling, but you get upset when some one calls you a name? Sounds like a bit of a hypocrite to me. As you said before, sticks and stones, being called a whiner shouldn't of bothered you in the least bit.
