Isn't that the real problem . . . taking personal responsibility and not blaming everyone else for the problems?

Hey its not just texting, cellphones, computer surfing, videos. I've seen drivers with a whole newspaper spread out across the steering wheel as they were passing me. I also saw a guy eating behind the wheel. I know most of us have done that ourselves, but this guy was balancing a dinner...

DougTravels was banned from this website because he had a different political point of view than the Right Wingers on here. This is a country of Freedom of Speech and his freedoms are being silenced by the right wing moderators on here. I say reinstate DougTravels because this is not a...

As a moderator you need to be more tolerant of others. You can't let your personal feelings get in the way of your job! It is just like you Right Wing Fox News/Rush Limbaugh Parroting Idiots to want to shut up someone with a different (more educated and objective) point of view. Afterall...

There are a lot of variables in the pay. 1) What are you driving? 2) Who are you driving for? 3) O/O or Fleet Owner? And there are even more variables if you're driving for a fleet owner. 4) Special equipment? 5) Every run pays differently. We have been paid as low as .77/mile...

We drive a D TVal S/T. The majority of the loads that we take are C TVal. We are not slow. We have been keeping running. We rarely take a surface expedite load, unless it relocates us to a better express center. I disagree with getting the records from the trucks. Not that it wouldn't...

Personally, I have a theory about "Common Sense". You see it is an oxymoron, because as I see it "it's not so common as it would appear to be". Lack of common sense is the standard! :rolleyes:

You could always spray ACME Bug Repellant on your windshield. That should keep the bugs away! :D

Well, finally we got laidover with a decent load picking up on Monday. We'd been told that we could get into State Parks and that the people that told us had never been turned away. I finally convinced HoneyPie to take me fishing at a State Park. So, we researched it on the web and found...

I've seen gray wolves. I've seen golden and bald eagles (and I'm not counting my hubby). I've seen wild pheasant. And, the Flying J in Dallas has a chicken living outside its restaurant emergency exit door. But, I've never seen a bear. I'm jealous!

I don't know who you think you are to critique anyone on professionalism. I have never read anything to indicate any professionalism in your posts. The attacks you make against everyone else, with special emphasis on A Team is disgraceful. Normally, I see something that you posted and have...

There are a lot of variables in this biz. This is what makes it impossible for anyone to truly give you hard numbers. What carrier will you sign on with? What do they pay (avg.) per mile? Will you be running special services? What is the average deadhead? What do you need/What are your...

My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. Just remember that this too will pass. Hang in there, if you can. There is nothing better out there in the "real world", still a lot of people unemployed and others still loosing their homes. So, if you don't have to, try to stick with it...

Layshooter, I am not familiar with what happened to you and your truck during Gustav. I did hear that some trucks were damaged and FedEx paid insurance claims since the trucks were under a load and the drivers were acting on behalf of FedEx. Did FedEx's insurance not cover your damage?

Now, who woulda thought that I would agree with anything that Daffy says. But, I completely agree . . . who'd a thought. By the way . . . IT'S DUCK SEASON! :D

OVM, I whole heartedly agree with you. March was a rough month for us, April could have been better - May was much better and June doesn't count much because we have taken a lot of hometime. Still we are up overall from last year. We qualified ourselves for every extra service that our...

Greg, Stop it! Just Stop IT Already! What in the heck is your problem other than the fact that you simply think you KNOW IT ALL! The Problem is that nobody likes a know it all. You are so negative and pittifully uninsightful. You maybe should be taking more advice than you give! What...

We're sitting here in Oak Grove, MO laidover. We've only had two crappy load offers all day and there are a bunch of trucks in front of us. I kind of think we'll be sitting here all weekend. But, at least there's a truck show going on here. There must be 50 Hot Trucks here. If you're in the...

I know this may sound stupid, and certainly a little more down to earth than some of your ideas, but . . . My mother-in-law is a terrible passenger in the car, which made me think up a really cool "gag gift". How about an imaginary brake that can be installed on the passenger side. It could...

Well, Highway, I could arrange to give you a bigger part. Is that what you want. Is that what you really want. Better be careful what you wish for . . .
