I'd say that the man sitting at home popping the tops has a much harder job than loading freight, and holding the steering wheel.. I've worn both t-shirts, and the steering wheel is much easier... As far as carriers go.. Sometimes the small guys are much hungrier than the big dogs... I...

Right now that's a 57% ratio from DH to LH.. The average I would guess is around 20%, some less, some more.. Just starting out, your going to have more DH until you understand where your companies freight lanes run. Hang in there, and ask questions from your company on freight lanes, and...

That's funny there.... I don't care who you are, that's funny!!!

I have a 5000 watt, 7500 surge that works most of the time OK.. However with my laptop in the shop, and having to tote my desktop with me, I've found that it's drawing alot more than the laptop... I have two deep cycle gel cells that are in the side box and attached directly to the...

I've NEVER had a shipper tell me I couldn't park on their ground for a few days after delivering a load for them.. Plus, where's the fuel usage in that???? I have everything in my truck that I need to last me till the next load...

The corner in question has corn on all four corners.. Anyone coming down a rural country road where corn is planted on all corners knows that it doesn't matter if you loudest horn in the world, it's hard for the sound to transfer around 10 ft. high corn.. The truck driver had the right...

I could "choose" to take the harley with me.. But I "chose" to leave it at home and optimize my earning potential. That way I can take the time and "choose" to ride the harley any place I desire and share the "stress free enviroment" with my beautiful seat cover..

I'm wishin I had the harley to unwind after a long day on the road.. But since I have limited box space in my 28 footer and limited to 26k lbs, that's not an option. So I always have a truck paper to dream shop in, and if that doesn't cure me, I just look at the picture on my dash and remember...

Think of it this way Jarhead. It's like having a "double indemnity" policy.. Not only can you haul flatbed freight, in which if you look at load boards like I do all day, you'd realize the finacial gaines. But you can also haul van freight as well. Taking the best of both worlds and...

So true Easy!!

RE: It's the 4th of July Weekend!! Where are You Heading towards Norwich NY, for a early am delivery Monday. Then hopefully heading to Indiana to get everything ready for the wedding and the big Harley trip..

I would just stay within reach of the house.. That's the plans here.

Interpretation is 99.9% of the law. I actually had a DOT officer in South Dakota give me a overweight ticket for being EMPTY.. (That's a long story) How much revenue do that need that day, and how big of a jerk do they want to be.. I've learned to bend over backwards and be nice to them...

JohnO, Each time you log onto your verizon in a different tower area, make sure that you refresh your tower capabilities. If you run the wizard your signal strength will be alot better.

I would be interested in just one source??

I think being on time is a "given" not good customer service.. If you bump a dock and use your pallet jack to pull of 12 skids for them because their busy.. Well then that might be called "good customer service".. I just call it being smart.. You have to remember that your CARRIER is you...

Send me a pm with your email, and I'll send you the pics of my setup. It's just like the col explained. I set the inside up a little different, I have a tv, micro, fridge, put shelving units in it with a section of draws for food. I have a loft in the box for pads, straps, a extra tool box...

Hey now guys... Don't put all of us Fort Wayner's in that class.. LOL

No, I have two independent lines coming of a recircualtion pump on the back side of the unit. 1 going to the passenger side of the block with a shut off valve, and 1 going to the drivers side with a shut off valve.. My unit is a older unit, and I am guessing that they put a recirc pump on...

RE: State Police Warning To ALL!! Please Read.... Scam or not.. I just like to keep my eye's and ears open for those that are out there pounding the pavement like I am.. If half the people out there would just have a little compassion for their fellow driver, we wouldn't have half the...
