    It's Time To Be Reliable.

    We husband and wife teams wished it was a honey moon every day. But, the truth is, we all have our bad days and our good days. Yes, it is nice having your spouse with you so can interact with them on daily basis. But, its just like any relationship that is away from each other for long period...

    Illinois 55 limit debate

    The story I heard why the former Gov. Rod Blagojevich vetoed three times was that he had the law passed, his son was killed by a semi wreck. Is this true?

    It's Time To Be Reliable.

    And this why we choose not to be owners right now. If business was booming that would be a different story. When we first started, we considered being a o/o, but we was going to give it time and see whats it like and see if it was worth it and be able to bring in enough money to make a payment...

    Where am I?

    I would of asked her if I do this mini, will you make sure I'm first out still after I'm done with it. When you are doing a mini, your doing more of a favor for Express-1 and why shouldn't they do a favor for you? Only fair right? But again, since you did do it, she might by pass the other...

    Warning, no cell phone N.J.

    Don't worry, your carrier if not already, will be adding instructions to your QC to where you can not use while the truck is motion. I know Panther has it already, Express-1 has it implemented. This works only on the new QC's though, if you have the old style you can still use them while in...

    It's Time To Be Reliable.

    Nadal, So, you are saying 70-80% of drivers, not counting o/o's and fleetowners, are unedcuated and dumb as rocks?

    It's Time To Be Reliable.

    Well, if you sign a contract and your owner tells you how and when you have to do something, you are employee. But, again, this falls back to what is said in the contract. If you let the owner put in the contract on how to operate, to a certain extent of course, that is the drivers fault...

    It's Time To Be Reliable.

    I agree, one look at me, you would never think I could hold a high professional job. Never judge a book by its cover. :p

    It's Time To Be Reliable.

    well, I don't get where fleet owners came into the picture? The way you wrote everything, I assumed and made it sound like you were talking about drivers or o/o? And just wondering where you are getting the pertcentages? And plus, what you said has nothing to do with what you were talking in...

    Tools for your truck

    I just wanted to point out that if you driver for a owner, always make sure you have permission to work on his truck. One true factor that plays in this, he may prefer a licensed mechanic to work on it for warranty purposes. Small stuff like bulbs or fuses, wiper blades etc., you get my...

    SMOKERS, For your consideration

    Its a study in theory that smoking has killed people. I won't say smoking hasn't killed anyone, because I can not prove that either, but when there are so many other factors. You just never here about the people who has smoked all their lives and lived to a ripe old age or died from lung...

    SMOKERS, For your consideration

    Well put Turtle. Like I said earlier "don't bring up a subject unless your willing to argue that fact of what your talking about. I had an ideal, lets see some consideraton from the non-smokers, when we want to smoke, instead of us moving a mile or two from the non-smokers, let the...

    SMOKERS, For your consideration

    Well Humble2drive, don't bring up a subject unless your willing to argue that fact of what your talking about. I might of misread your comments to where I said something about lumping all together, which I do apologize. But, again, you brought up a subject that has been consider as beating a...
