    Backing up your computer data

    Flash memory sticks aren't a bad idea. One of the downsides though is the larger ones can get expensive.

    Computer Problem

    Norton AV is a huge resource hog as is most of the other Symantec bloatware products. The only Symantec program that I find remotely worth using is Ghost 8.0. Here's my tried and true recipe for a secure PC. Starting with a brand new or heavily used PC doesn't matter I always do a 3 pass DoD...

    Backing up your computer data

    For stuff to save at an online source I like to use Google's Gmail which is basically a free email service that has 2+ gigs of storage. I don't think it is open to the general public yet, but if anyone would like an invitation just lemme know. My favorite way to back up important info is on...

    Another HOS question

    Yeah I kinda figured it wasn't 100% legal. Would I do it? Probably not as my luck stinks and I'd sure to get caught, but I'd think about it only as a means to get to a proper place to shut down. take care

    Another HOS question

    I'm still green with logs so I don't know really how to explain it. The way he explained it to me was if you take your mileage and log it at 5mph or so below the speed limit you can be legal on paper. Like for instance if you had to travel 100 miles on an interstate with a 70mph truck speed...

    Another HOS question

    I asked a good friend of mine who drives semi about logging and asked what happens if your at a shipper and it takes longer then expected to get loaded and you run out of hours and the shipper wont let you shut down on his/her property. He said the way he does it is to log by miles instead of...

    Oldest Expediting Company in History

    Carrier Profile on the front page for Express Way. "Baisden, who founded the company in May of 1004, has a long history in transportation." Long history? I think they are just being modest..1,002 years in the expediting business just might be a record. Sorry just couldn't resist. :D

    What's The Best Solo Friendly Company

    I've been talking to recruiters from several of the carriers that advertise here and to be honest I didn't get much out of it. They all will give you gross averages which pretty much seem similar from carrier to carrier. I'd ask how solo drivers did running for them and get more averages which...

    What's The Best Solo Friendly Company

    I'm getting by on about $225 a week now, but that just barely covers the bills. I got a good deal on my house, but it's a fixer upper and in need of about $15,000 in repairs and my car blew a head gasket which I'll either need to buy a different car or fix it at about $2,000(It's an old '95...

    What's The Best Solo Friendly Company

    Hello, I got an offer to drive a 22' D-Unit as a solo on a 60/40 split with me getting the 60%+FSC and paying for fuel and tolls. The truck was previously on with Tri-State but the owner said it could be changed. I was thinking FedExCC because they are large and should have the freight, but I...

    Graduating Soon Need Advice

    Thanks for the tips Ateam...I've also been thinking about getting either Delorme or MS Streets & Trips w/ GPS. I already have the laptop to go along with it and it'd be cheaper then a standalone GPS system.

    Graduating Soon Need Advice

    noisemaker01, sorry to hear about your loss of DOT card. Maybe you can get a waiver or something? I applied to Roehl, but they denied my app. Said they couldn't tell me why over the phone and I'd have to send a letter to request the info to their safety department. the journey for a job continues.

    RE: Microsoft Streets & Trips 2006 with GPS $60 at Streets and Trips shows as $119.99 at staples online. Does anyone use DeLorme Earthmate GPS? In my area it seems to be cheaper, just wondering if it is as good as Microsoft S&T? thanks
