Thanks!:D I appreciate your kindness.

Thanks again, ATeam, for all your assistance and advice in this matter. I really did want to try this, but all the research and financial spreadsheets I worked on pointed towards a long drive off a short pier. You all impress me;) This business is rough - more so than many others I've...

Well, they said they weren't recruiting any trucks "for the west coast" any time soon, no matter what class. I don't want to relocate nor deadhead from Arizona given the ridiculous fuel costs, so I think I've decided on another path for now. Thanks for all you help guys, appreciate it...

Yep, keeeeep striking, keep pretending that you're worth $37 per hour to turn a lugnut, and the auto manufacturers will keep shipping those jobs out of the country until the Autoworkers Union is finished. Geezus, I've never heard of a more lucrative job for something so unskilled. It's not...

Hey guys, Update here... Someone called me back last week, answered some of my questions, noted it was odd that I didn't receive a callback with all those voicemails. Anyways, I got the info packet (nice insert, Ateam ;) ) and I'm currently looking through it. He did mention that...

OK, So I've called them and left a message four times at THREE different recruiter's voicemails. I've left two phone numbers with each message, and my address so they can send me more info. NADA.:mad: It's been over a month since I started leaving nice, pleasant messages and nothing. No...

ROI? Aieee!:eek:

You think that there's a good chance of the driver getting hurt by just doing their job and therefore is entitled to all the income? That's really a reach to even bring that up. The truck (i.e. Business) must make money for the employee to have a job.

OK - I've sat on ye ol' sidelines long enough.;) There seems to be a huge gap between the employee and employer mentality here, and I'll tell ya, its the same in my business. DISCLAIMER: I have been an employee. I was a **** good one. I never expected something for nothing, I always worked...

Disclaimer: I do not expedite yet, I merely do local town deliveries up to 4000# total weight I have a Mitsubishi FUSO FE-649 16' dryvan with a tuck-under Waltco liftgate (1600# rating, I think). I had the option of buying a big, get-in-the-way one that hovered behind the door but the...

Har har.:rolleyes: Public places? Love 'em. Now, do I like SHOWERING with the public? Not really. Don't like showering at the gym with a bunch of sweaty dudes, either. Just my personal preference. Same with a toilet. Not so much a phobia as I'd rather have one in the truck. Not exactly...

Hmm. Seems like an easy decision to me. Miles and miles of peace and quiet:D

Just heard reports on NPR of shutdowns, slowdowns, etc with drivers being ticketed for impeding traffic on the East Coast. I'll be checking the truckstop tonight for truckers shutdown and giving out some free beer! :D EDIT: CNN says that its only sporadic. dangit. This will be ineffectual at...

Yeah, that setup is interesting; however I agree the problems with such a setup would be numerous. UNLESS: one had access from the sleeper (a door) and not the box... hmm.:rolleyes:

Ok, is it difficult to retrofit a sleeper with something like this? That toilet/shower combo I've been seeing looks pretty sweet. I'm seeing a lot of 96" sleepers, but not many with the combo. I guess I could buy a truck and then convert it by replacing a cabinet or something, but...I have...

Humor? As far as I'm concerned, if you can't laugh at yourself, you have a serious character flaw. I won't even hang around anybody who doesn't have a sense of humor.:D Me? I'm a goofball and I think my blood pressure is lower because of it.:D

You had one experience with a bad driver from a school and you dismiss the entire idea? I would think it's a good idea to get students with a lot of theoretical knowledge in their heads before they get in the truck for the real training... I do agree that the certificate won't get me a...

The fact that the company has no cashflow and therefore no profit yet makes a wee nervous.

There seems to be something we're missing, this is a longstanding rivalry:rolleyes: I like Ateam though, I've met them personally and can vouch for their helpfulness and kindness. I do hope to meet more of you in the future.

No, sorry I didn't explain. Phil has his truck all decked out with Cameras pointing every-which-way and in his box, etc. recording at all times, I guess. He said something to the effect of the "just-in-case" someone says you damaged something or maybe got in an accident and needed some proof...
