Boy, I think alot of people need to re-read the "bully pit" forum...

You know Marv, I would just like to know BOTH sides of the story.. I have been there, done that, and I KNOW that there's always two sides..

I personally think it goes both ways.. I mean you can try and be the best driver out there, run run run, hand load and unload, try and go the extra mile, and get the same "games" played in return. There's a real fine line between both parties in question. I know that I personally give...

Don't spend your money on one of those antennas, just find me on the road somewhere and I'll give you two of them. I bought the smaller one first, it didn't work, so I bought the big fancy model. Well it didn't work either. I have spoke with a few guys that have bought the Wilson...

I've been with Cingular since '98, and yesterday while I was home we went and switched our service over to Verizon. I have been into my local Cingular store atleast a dozen times over the past six months since we did a upgrade with issue after issue. You can be in mid sentence and it will...

That all depends on how he goes to Indiana. If he takes 40 through Tn, the speed limit is 70. Then 65 in Ky, and 65 in Indiana..

Not to jump on you at all, but why would you spend 30k+ for a truck if you had now idea what you were going to do with it, or even what you were getting into?? Also, just in case you haven't realized, truck stops, shipppers and recievers are no place for a 12 year old child.. Understand...

The general term tractor is not enough info.. Before I would give an oppinion I would want to know what you are hauling, Team/Solo, regional runs, cross country?? There are too many variables when buying a tractor other than just the name on the front of it..

I was looking at the drivers available section of EO classifieds and ran across this add. Driving jobs and opportunities.. 1/27/07 Solo driver seeks opportunity. The add goes on to say that the driver has been qualified at Tri-state, Panther, Express-1. Looking for a opportunity.. ECT...

I agree 110% diesel... If you only have to rely on yourself, you have yourself to be mad at when things don't go as they should.. I learned the hard way also, twice in the same trip..

RE: What's your other ride This time of year I can't ride my favorite toys... This morning when I woke up, and looked out the window, there's more of that lovely white stuff on the ground!! But my toy of choice has always been my harleys... '03 Roadking Classic, and my '06 Electra Glide...

Research, Research, Research!!! Find out the average DH per load. Look at the average LH per load. Find out if the company does primarily automotive, or if they are not afraid to go after "other" freight. Ask them their freight lanes. Talk to drivers and find out how often they actually see...

My keys, and my guitar.. Oh and my GPS... Lord I'd be lost sometimes without that.. LOL

Thanks for your responce Danny... Actually, I want to thank all of those that have called, sent me pm's, ect over the last few days... I appreciate each and every one of you.. And I will keep my head high, and hope we meet someday on the road.. I chose expediting for a reason, and even...

RE: Is it important for your carrier to be certifi Im going to go off subject a little bit on this one. But if all companies large and small are on a pretty even playing field, and each company has the same ability to find loads, why can company A that has 20 trucks have a harder time finding...

RE: Is it important for your carrier to be certifi Besides ISO certification, is there any other certification that a Expediting (or trucking company in general) can receive to get government loads, ect? I guess I am really wandering for my own knowledge, what all certification is available...

RE: Is it important for your carrier to be certifi I've noticed a few companies that are ISO certified. I-International O-Organazational S-Standardization. Most automotive companies require a Tier 1 supplier be ISO 9001 certified. ISO is the governing body that completes audits on a...

This probably should be posted in the newbie forum, but I figured that their were veterans that sometime ask themselves this question also. So, is it important for your carrier that you leased to be certified. I know of a few brokers that will not load guys trucks if the company that they...

You might want to check and see if you have a Trojan Battery dealer locally. Their batteries are designed especially for commercial vehicles, and the life span and warranties are much greater than Interstate, optima, and Deka. I believe they have both Gel core and wet core batteries. They are...

RE: Which company actually cares about good driver I don't hide stuff on my profile. I live in FORT WAYNE, IN.. And I would probably have spent time with family and freinds instead of looking at the four walls of a hotel room. Business is business, but I still have a life.. And yes...
