Anyone looking for a man wearing a black mask, black trench coat who has a loaded gun for sale deserves to get shot.LOL

Why is it that every truckstop has one day or night, east coast, west coast, North or South. You guys know what I'm talking about, Scam Artists. I swear if I had a dollar for everytime one of these broke basterds have come up to me asking for money, offering to shine my rims with nothing more...

A Canomatic is the best camera you can buy in a truckstop parking lot. You just past up a good deal LDB. I bought a Panosonik Digimon Camera(not to be confused with Panasonic Digital Camera) from a guy in a truckstop once and it turned out to be a peice of crap. Thats the last time I buy...

I drive a D-Unit single axle and was offered a load but it didn't say how much the weight was. Turns out that the load of engine parts weighed 18,000lbs. FedEx pleded with me to take it but I told them hell no, so they got another truck to pick up the excess amount and were upset cause they had...

I started out as an OTR driver working for Covenant and have seen my fair share of the market nich that they cater too.Expediting is a different nich in the trucking industry. We are the guys companies call when they needed something yesterday. There are many reasons why I like expediting vs...

Amen Crazynuff and Broompilot, I second what you guys said. Gibster I know your not trying to anger us and I appreciate your opinion, besides this is a "free" country with freedom of speech. But what gets me is a lot of Mexicans coming into this country are poor, uneducated, can't speak the...

When I told my mother seven years ago that I was dropping out of college, gonna get my CDL A and become a truck driver she looked at me like I was on drugs and wanted me to stay away from the friends I hung out with. My friends had the same reaction but they thought that maybe I bumped my head...

RE: Greiger Motors AAAA++++++ Panther2 AAAAA++++ All of us expediters can't be wrong HondaKing, slow your ##### down and don't think of investing money you don't have on another van. Your not impressing any of us just because some slick greased up salesman says you've qualified for a loan...

I love the responses guys, the info posted has given me something new to think about. I'm pondering if I should sell my '00 gas guzzling Suberban and buy a diesel Excursion instead? The way I see it, my Suberban has a 40 gallon tank, and at $2.12 a gallon(Regular Unleaded) thats $86.00 to fill...

I was watching "Trucks" on Spike TV and that episode showed how one could make his/her own biodiesel in their garage and it was perfectly legal. Freedome Fuel America makes a fully assembled kit that you can order and install in your home. But what had me puzzled was, what if I ordered the kit...

Just be glad you were able to leave and that they didn't call you inside for a full body cavity search. If you have nothing to hide then you shouldn't be nervous, don't let these guys intimidate you and make you sweat. Just look at them and smile, give them what they want, and answer their...

Sorry to hear about your experience DooWop, had the economy and the price of gas and diesel been better you would've been making more money than you could count. Its good that you got out when you did, some people stay in the business longer than they should only to loose everything including...

The price of fuel is almost $3.00 a gallon, I was just wondering how high are you guys willing to pay for fuel before throwing in the towel and finding a new career? I might quit at 3 dollars.

I know what you mean KG, I used to look forward to Fridays and would put myself onto the Lexington, Kentucky board. Back in 2002 every Friday or Saturday I seemed to always get a load out of there. But just like you all my favorite weekend layover stops are slow as a turtle. I guess it's time to...

I started driving out for an owner, or owners. Some are honest and some are just plan greedy and would love for you to stay on the road 365 days out of the year. If an owner is honest then he'll pay you two ways, fist being if he's going to pay for the fuel and tolls then its going to be a 40/60...

I said the same thing in another post, a lot of these drivers are driving for less due to the fact that some of these trucking companies are doing so much for them like helping them with INS, english, and a job. Soon some of these companies JB, Swift, etc will soom be putting three drivers in a...

This guy has found heaven because he's able to smoke crack while transporting trucks across the country. If I found the "Fountain Of Youth" I wouldn't tell a soul about it, but this guy has found "Heaven" and wants everyone to join him without asking God if its okay.LOL

It there's an expediter who doesn't have a horror story, then they're on crack. I like to learn from bad experiences in this business, and have learned that for every 10 loads you get, something isn't gonna go your way. Especially if your in New York.

I have a laptop with an internet card, when I'm close to my stop or lost, I go online and go to the "MAP QUEST" website. It always shows me right were I need to be. I believe FECC uses Map Quest also.
