    Driver Shortage

    I heard on XM the other day the real driver shortage is the projected number of drivers to retire in the next ten or so years. I can't remember the number of drivers that are 55 to 65 now and expected to retire but it was huge.

    New Ohio Ban on Smoking

    Van Man, I hear what you are saying but let me clarify what I believe. I don't think it is the people of Ohio's right to tell a business how to operate either except through thier patronage or lack of patronage to that business. I do think it is the peoples right to say whether or not smoking...

    New Ohio Ban on Smoking

    I am torn on this issue and always have been. The libertarian in me wants the govt. out of my life as much as possible and give the rights and decisions back to individuals. On the other hand, I understand exactly what you are saying. A smokers habit is infringing and affecting your personal...

    New Ohio Ban on Smoking

    I thought I would chime in just to say I QUIT A MONTH AGO !!!! Hahahahahahaha I understand both sides. I believe the govt. has no right to tell a business how to run that business or what restrictions they should impose. Of course some regulations regarding general safety and a true...

    Which Company should I choose

    I own my truck and drive solo. I started in March 2006 and have managed to make a living despite myself. I expect to run smarter in 2007 and make more money because of that. A team would no doubt be more profitable and I get frustrated at times waiting for a load and watching the teams get...

    The late James Brown, Godfather of.. Everything

    RE: The late James Brown, Godfather of.. Everythin They said on XM today he had 59 singles on the pop charts between 1960 and 1969. While he certainly was no saint, he was the "hardest workin man in show business" and quite entertaining to watch and listen to. I know he was abusive but at...

    Changing the Oil

    I have a local shop do all my service and repairs except in an emergency. I was at a T/A in Indiana near Chicago last spring and needed an oil change. I waited over 3 hours and then he comes out and tells me the good news is he hasn't started draining my oil yet. I'm thinking, what?? The bad...

    We are all in the wrong business...

    Perhaps this is not the right place to hype something I truly believe in but I will anyway. This is a Christian organization that has touched my family directly. I know them to be exactly as described and truly work wonders in the lives they touch. They are 100 percent donation funded and accept...

    Pre-trip inspections

    You are right. Sometimes it doesn't matter what they have been taught, told or shown. Teenagers are going to test the limits of most anything they can. You can only hope they can survive these years and obviously too many do not. The sad part is the parents who might now want to blame someone...

    Almost ready to head out

    Sounds like alot of truck for the money. I agree with all the research and dilegence checking out the truck but also be careful not to do too much and talk yourself out of a great deal. Good luck and have fun.

    Newbie seeking info

    I don't have any experience with either of the companies you mentioned. I imagine it would not be too hard to get to the Toledo area when you want to with a little deadhead involved. I have the CAT 3126 that most people hate in my truck with about 600k on it and no problems yet (knock on wood)...

    Newbie Owner needs some questions asked.

    """Simple. Take the 30k that was paid for the car. ( if you have a 2007 USED car now worth 24k you had to pay somewhere around 30k for it, unless it was a gift to you. ) Hopefully you would make 10 to 15 thousand dollars more in that six month period, put half of that towards the USED truck, buy...
