    Is straight truck expediting worth the time?

    That is true in a perfect world. Everyone knows that this world isnt perfect and hasnt worked out for us. I agree with ARK. Come spring i'll be out of trucking and into a normal job. Trucking isnt for everyone, expediting isnt for all truckers!!! Especially when you've been on the phone for an...

    Panther Board Position

    This is true. I have brought this up with MR. StPierre and got nowhere with him. FedEx drivers are allowed to move aslong as they dont leave their 50 mile radius of the position. They do have something he tried to explain to me that you can move but you have a certain distance and time before...

    Wheres the expedite freight?

    Its slow out there right now. I've been sitting in detroit since friday. Yes i'm solo but they wont offer me anything but the same load 5 times to canada which would end up costing money for both me and the truck to do. I dont have any money tobe handing out freely so i turned it down. I'm 3rd...

    Is straight truck expediting worth the time?

    He asked if 40K is possible with a team. Especially working for a fleet owner. You dont make much with a fleet owner.

    Detroiter??? WHATTSSSSUP???

    I agree with turtle as well. They were offering me a 70 mile run with 40 miles deadhead going into canada. After some math the truck wouldnt pull squat off that load. Still writting this from the comforts of my home. x(

    Great little Gadget WI-FI finder

    That is a cool device. The onlything is it wont tell you if the wifi connection is encrypted or open or what signal you are trying to pick up. You might end up with a very strong signal and then relize that your parked next to me and i have a WIFI router in my truck :+ but if you ask me nicely i...

    Batteries and Crankinig Amps

    Thanks for the reply. And yes i should of said Wind Turbine but Wind Mill is what rolled off my fingers. I like my Optima cause even in the cold weather it has little to no starting issues that a "regular" battery would have. One reason i asked that question is a picked up one of those digital...

    Is straight truck expediting worth the time?

    I think it is reasonable to be able to clear 40K as a team. Me ang the g/f last we knew cleared about 37K as of the beginning of october. We ran pretty hard but toward the end started to fall apart with alot of things. The job is very stressful, although everyone i talk to says differently...

    Saving Money By Extending Your Oil Change Interval

    RE: Saving Money By Extending Your Oil Change Inte Yea, but the problem with wraps is they hold moisture which makes the parts rust faster. I will stay away from the wraps. If i wanted to help hold the heat in i would probably have the exhaust part JETHOT coated (or similiar) both inside and...

    Saving Money By Extending Your Oil Change Interval

    RE: Saving Money By Extending Your Oil Change Inte From talking with a few people (most this is car related) the turbo wraps dont really do too much [the compressor side] the air doesnt sit in the turbo long enough to collect the heat from the turbo and most of the heat is generated from the...
