No exaggeration at all. Most drivers are safe, a few are not only unsafe they are obviously unintelligent. If a driver can't stay under the posted speed limit down a hill they need to change their equipment and/or freight in order to do so. If a driver can't go up a hill at the posted speed...

A considerate driver would consider the safety of those vehicles that go a steadier speed and also his or her own safety ahead of his or her desire to save their brakes, save the few dollars in fuel that the downhill momentum might gain or save the very little time gained by either.

You're probably right. I'm pretty sure it couldn't have hurt. I'm over that bridge now though. On to bigger and better things!!!!

Thanks, I appreciate your candidness. I do have something lined up...going back to school in the health care industry. When I first called it quits about two months ago I would go on Google maps and revisit the places that I often layed over at or frequequent customer locations. It was really...

Thanks Ken, I figured people could post their own views of what they enjoy about the industry since there are indeed positives at least there was for me. One of my absolute favorite things was to leave for a long trip at about 6pm after a good sleep in the summer. Then seeing the sunset and...

I've got a used EU2000 for sale. Less than 100 hrs on it. Getting out of the expediting biz. I bought it new for $1100 so shoot me a PM and make me an offer if you're interested.

After 10 years in the expediting biz I've called it quits. Was a great career before the crash of 2009 then went downhill fast. Thought I would be more distraught over the decision but the only thing I miss are the pre-2009 memories. I will not miss the: waiting, living in parking lots, traffic...

.......lol....

.......Bingo!!

Also, they have gotten to the point where they must have needed to outsource so many van loads because their "own" drivers were passing up too many of the lowball offers. I admit I've done it. Out of 20 offers I'll accepted 2 or 3 it's gotten that bad. It just means it's time to move on for me...

I've been with them for awhile and April has never been this slow.

Forgot to mention that I'm in Lancaster, PA.

I get an average of 1 call for load offers now per day. I have turned down so many loads in the last 4-5 months that I wonder if they're just not calling me anymore. I refuse to take loads that don't pay less than $1/mi for loaded miles. Just curious if other B unit drivers are having the same...

Van is for sale but unfortunately no takers yet.

Nevermind, and you are correct.

Who's John Elliot?

Wonderfully put!

Great! Thanks for the advice. I will have a 14' box van with 50-70k, 9600 gvw. Ford E-350. It must go so if you know anyone interested please tell them to keep their eye open on here.

Sorry, I meant gross income. Simple answers to simple questions. If you don't want to answer then don't post.

Well at least you answered one of my questions, somewhat intelligently, save the others however.
