If you get high one night, the next day you're not high and fine to drive, just like alcohol (if you don't overdo it). So the most fair thing would be to increase the cutoff level of THC allowable in the system on the drug tests. It's stupid to get in trouble for the joint you smoked two...

Assuming one is an O/O, what can one expect a solo to make in a van per year, 30-40k? Is this about the same as in a straight truck? I see after two years, one can probably make 50-60k in a tractor trailer. I still wonder if it just wouldn't be better to get Class A training now and go otr...

I don't mind searching too much, the most annoying thing is that searches with only three letters don't work, like "GMC." A good newbie faq is a good idea also because newbies simply do not know what to search for to begin with.

The $40 Virgin Mobile plan doesn't include Canada. I was wondering if one could buy a pay as you go type thing with Virgin Mobile Canada for when one is there. That might work out. I'm still skeptical about Clear's coverage until I hear some testimonials of people who are using it in...

The second post by LDB on this thread answers my question 3 well: http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/truck-talk/38793-e250-e350.html I guess it's unique to the average weight of freight one is hauling with one's carrier, but the 3500 is best if you want to have more stuff in your truck...

Interesting view, I have narrowed myself down to going with the Chevy/GMC extended gas vans, due to hearing the 155" wheelbase rides good and that the weight and cost of the diesel engines offset its fuel economy. Anyway, I'm hoping someone could answer the following: 1. What is the difference...

I was wondering about the map update cost on your 1450T, I know it's lifetime traffic but was wondering how much they charge you for periodic updates? Thanks.

Thanks, I'll check out the Clear service, but wanted to also mention Virgin's Mobile's new no contract plan. It's 3g at $40/mo. for unlimited usage, for both Mac and PC. Ovation MC760 (Virgin Mobile) Preview | PCMag.com Not sure about Canada with its coverage. I was wondering if anyone...

Does anyone swing trade or watch the market while driving each day? Some brokers such as Thinkorswim have a free feed to CNBC. It seems like the job would lend way to this well. I wouldn't try daytrading per say, but swing trading would be doable. One of my reasons for liking driving is this...

Check the Driver Wanted classifieds here, I've seen some O/O's wanting drivers from Michigan. They might hire you on, then eventually you can buy your own.

I've been trying to figure out which Garmin I might like. I'll look at the 1450T. Here is one "best of" site: GPS Reviews | Best GPS | Top 10 GPS There is a kind of comparison chart down the page here: Amazon.com: Garmin nüvi 1390/1390T 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator...

I was looking at the Big Buddy on Amazon and there was some advice in a review here: Amazon.com: Mr Heater MH18B Portable "Big Buddy" Heater: Kitchen & Dining "When one uses this heater with a 20 lb propane bottle & accessory hose, it is imperative that you always shut the tank off first &...

I actually tried to look up those seat cushions, but didn't find anything searching "Aero space seat cushion." Thanks for pointing out the link above.

I realize this thread's six months old, but I think not having a fridge/microwave would be a drag. I couldn't handle eating fast food all the time, as I like to eat healthy. I guess I could go on a fruit/granola/water diet lol, hard to think what a person could eat without a fridge/microwave...

In Class A CDL trucking, you can start out in otr work and then go to regional/dedicated work with experience. I am wondering if there is regional work for a Class B with Hazmat, I haven't been able to find that much. It seems like there is only otr jobs for vans and straight trucks if you...

I spoke to a recruiter (Brian Welsh) at the Expo who seemed natural and honest, as did the one I spoke to from Tri-State. I recall him saying they rarely go past the Mississippi, they do go up in Canada quite a bit, but the thing that impressed me is that he said they pay a $50 layover per day...

I've stared at that speck for hours, and could have sworn it was intentional, seeing how it makes the painting! Lol, can't you tell I'm suffering from archive fever :eek:
