Just please don't go to sleep at the wheel....It just ain't worth it.

Glad to hear things went well for you guys on the new HOS. We made our last team run in our "D" unit yesterday. Can't risk killing ourselves in the transition. Will be selling it,and maybe getting into a Sprinter and drive it team. Either diesel will have to come down (price), or freight rates...

Rode you should be ashamed!!

Well with Diesel hitting $3.50 a gallon, and gasoline close behind. You haven't picked the best time to get into the business. If you'd like to operate a "D" unit, I have a really nice one I will sell you. Already signed with a very reputable company, guarantee you'll (team) gross $10K to 15K...

At a shipper in El Paso, a warehouseman punched a hole in the roof of my new morgan 22' box, with his forklift. Pictures were taken, statements were signed. Insurance company was notified, estimate of damage was $1200.00, by Morgan. So all my insurance company had to do was collect from the...

I recommend you sell the truck......Who were you signed on with before? Is that a 1990 or was that a misprint?

Yes...if their is a good idea, or a work around out there, I'd sure like to hear one.

Checked out their website..Many broken links...Can't buy them if you wanted to. Can't even get a price..Maybe it was down because they were adjusting their prices upwards.... Who Knows

Same here. Bob if you can, please post the name of the manufacturer, we can probably purchase it off the web. Thanks

The answer is emphatically NO!!!!!

Extremely well said Matt. We operate as a team in almost the exact fashion that you folks do. If the split is not restored, we have no other option but to hang it up. I just turned sixty,we've been in time sensitive freight since 1992, maybe the younger folks can hang for ten, but I'll end up...

I hadn't realized that this will affect the solo's to that degree. Logbook penalty fines are getting awfully steep, but I can understand the temptation.. Thanks for the eye opener.

Great replies guys....that puts in better perspective.. I was wondering Crazy if I could trouble you for Joan Claybrook, and PATT's email address. I have a few things that need to be said to her organization, concerning the HOS.

I was just wondering if anyone had any fresh opinions on the new hours of service regs. Maybe they won't affect the solo drivers as much as the teams. But my better half and I, usually drive 5 on and 5 off. Now it looks like its going to have to be a 10 on 10 off cycle. I know there are teams...

In my experience, it is rare that an outfit will pay extra for hauling Hazmat. I know my company doesn't. Of course in a non forced dispatch situation, that can be negotiable.

Its really a fairly small, albeit impersonal company..To most, you are definetly a truck number. You will be paid EVERY OTHER week. Their accounting has always been accurate. I'm not in the van division, but their compensation appears to be on par with the rest of the industry. If you are...

Your D.O.B., DL #, and Social Security number, are about the MOST DEEPLY PERSONAL INFORMATION,you can give anybody. As a former computer security consultant, I know I could live very well for a month or two if I was able to obtain that type information from you. So be very careful who you...

Well be careful if you do journey over that way. Im sure you will still get that popular little pamphlet entitled, "5 ways to hopefully avoid a beheading". And what were the post's about.... regarding ferrys? Did I miss something.

Hi Bryan. I don't know if my company has done anything about the FSC. We parked our truck, the 1st of the month. I was thinking about calling them soon to see if there were any change in the rates.

Sounds like a workable idea. I spent $2500.00 for a gas generator installation. 4000w Generac, located in an under hung storage box. Didn't use it for a/c, but kept the batteries charged and the block hearter working. It was was all wired to the inside of the cab, and started from the cab. Had...
