Checked with OOIDA to see if it is something independent drivers (not truck owners) should join. Got a reply that yes it is also for independent drivers that are driving for someone else. They also said they are having a special rate for 2 weeks starting Dec 6th for sign-up. 25.00 for 1st driver...

Actually, in our experience, the slow period starts with Thanksgiving and runs through the 1st of March. This is the time of year a driver better take what they can get and forget about the cherrypickin loads. Sometimes ya land lucky but for the most part its gonna be s l o o o o w ! :o

Well Shadow, we went into service in this truck Wed at 5pm. Got a load Thursday morning from Grand Haven MI to Tulleytown PA. (775) Dropped in Tulleytown at 9am Friday morning. Loaded Friday night at 9 pm in Trenten NJ going to Miami FL. (1296) so we ran a total of 2071 loaded miles from...

No, never drove for anyone from VA. But will definitely watch out for that one. Not naming anyone or where they are from. Want to give them the benefit of doubt that they will make good on what they still owe us. :)

No I checked they do not say passed or failed and there is nothing about points on any of them. In the area where it says citation issued no is marked. I have never been issued a citation for anything. Like I said I asked the officer in Texas if there would be points on my CDL and he said...

OK, So then, was any of the violations really failing the DOTs? I was never issued a citation, every singel DOT was some nonsensical little thing. One on each inspection? Maybe what I thought were failed inspections weren't really failed? Like the one inspection on had, a bent tag, one had could...

You are right as always Turtle! This is beyond outrage! This is an "in your face" to the american people! :mad:

Oh Cheri I was laughing so hard I was crying! My husband and son kept asking what was sooooo funny! All I could say was, oh honey, your not a woman, you'd never get it and continue laughing. ROFLMAO :D

Why because it is a love story! lol :p I remember when Princess Diana was married to Prince Charles. What a beautiful wedding it was. Needless to say, yes I was one of the masses glued to the tv to veiw the royal wedding. Diana was a true Princess! :)

This is the part I am not understanding. When I was pulled over in Georgia for a level one DOT Inspection that was the violation given. Said reflection tape has to be at both the top and bottom of the bumper. Now here is the clincher, he gave me a passing DOT sticker for the truck even though...

Yes, I agree it is good advise. Update: The truck owner called last night to say he deposited 1500.00 in our account and would pay us the rest Friday when he gets paid. :) P.S. the 1500 is in our account this morning.

OVM, we do a pretrip. Every violation but one ( and let me remind u the blinker was working when we left Laredo, I am pretty sure it bounced when I hit that enoooormous pot hole when you turn there at the light between the FJ and the TA, I tried to miss it but it caught my back wheel) which was...

OMG ROFLMAO That is too good! So true! :D

Have you tried looking in the Free Classified section? You can also post your availability there?

Because the fleet manager said they were having trouble setting up the direct deposit. Said his bank had to make a couple little deposits into our account to make sure it was set up correctly. When the deposits weren't there I called him and was told he would have to redo it. Finally a .03 and a...

On this I agree with you totally Phil. You are very right. Unfortunately, carriers require you to give the truck owner at least a week notice before you can return the truck and go with a good owner, and yes, even though you are not getting paid the requirement still stands. My husband and I got...

LOL 1800 mile run I would scratch home time in a split instant! I would be on that load like bee's on honeycomb. lol No home time is worth giving up a load like that. :D

Happy Birthday Cherri! :D

:mad: Monday morning checked with bank. No deposit and no deposit pending. Week 5 no pay, not even the re-imbursements of 238.00 he owes us that we had to pay to get the truck out of the detail shop when we originally picked the truck up. :mad: Well maniac guess your not the only one having...
