Expectations with P2?: Expect to wait 4 to 6 weeks for your first pay. Expect to have more than a few heated exchanges with inexperienced dispatchers. Expect to be put out of service if you turn down 3 loads. Expect to go to the bottom of the board if you refuse even 1 load. Expect to...

I don't see any bashing going on here, just a team trying to make a decision. I've been with Conway since December, previously with P2 and TSES. I really like the people in the ConwayNow organization but I wonder at times if they really have the customer base they promised, but this is much the...

RE: Hey all this made me feel good and wanted to s An old trucker freind of mine said of the road rage thing "I just pretend that it's my mother driving that car and it puts it all back into perspective". Works for me.

I'll tell ya what, camper -- I would work for that outfit just long enough to pack up my stuff and find a job at McDonald's! STOP IT! You live in one of the hottest spots in the country for XP freight. NObody gets "stuck" in the Detroit area! Sounds to me like you and your boss have a local LTL...

OK, let me play devil's advocate: Can you satisfy the "DOT Approved Sleeper" requirements described in the fmcsa manual? Is it cost-effective? A new 1 ton diesel pickup with a commercial shell, an add-on sleeper and/or box in combination with a "pup" of some sort would be, what, $70,000.00 to...

Isn't it a page out of Terry's diary?

RE: Hey all this made me feel good and wanted to s Congratulations to you! I still remeber my first "chauffers" license! In a 1974 International CO4070 with a 318 detroit and a 9 speed and a whopping 40 foot flatbed!!! Feels good when it's all done, right?! Hey, I'll see you two at orientation...

The typical expeditor would net it, shrink wrap it, blanket it and then strap the sucker down with at least 3 ratchet straps. Can never be too safe.

Go ahead and give your company a free plug, let us all know who furnished this good deed. The 9 speed should easily extend the overall efficiency and life of that cat motor. If it's the one I just looked at, the gear spacing is much closer leaving you the ability to keep the motor in the "sweet...

I have a cousin who is a mucky muck at Fleetguard (the filter people, owned by Cummins). when I bought my first of 4 different Dodges, ranging from 1992 to 2001, all with the Cummins he told me that the 5.9 was originally designed to be a million mile motor. If you know a lot about diesels and...

Do it while you can, I never did and my Mother-In-Law croaked, damn, she always did like to take my fun away!

And the old "revenuer" game marches on. I have a friend who has driven OTR for over 30 years quit driving a few years ago. His reason was "I got tired of being considered a criminal every time I grabbed the door handle" Now it's a crime to run too light. Good Grief! I think I'll become a...

Wait....I see our future.......ebay...lots of, what are they...XM RADIOS. With no reserve price! Or could they be very small boat anchors? Does anyone else see it? over there!

When I was seriously considering a move more centrally located to the freight lanes and warmer climate I got on google and did some searches for cost-of-living per state, got a lot of good info that way. It's been too long ago now so I can't help you with a website or which states were the best...

Thanks for the info FireGears, will head directly to the store and pick some up, not that I ever hope to get that crap again! I prefer my time off to be more enjoyable.

Oh Man, HT Hobo, look in the classifieds and find a real owner! I hate to see a good man in a bad situation and yours has had too many fits. Keep an eye on those classifieds - you WILL eventually find a good owner with lots of experience so you can run without sweating these things. And you're...

Well here we go again, another good idea heading the direction of high prices and less service. NASCAR is the largest fan draw of any sports concern in the country and second largest broadcast audience- and they lost the bid to Serious? Which brain-trust is in charge on this decision? Shows...

My experience with pilot has been less than satisfactory over the years also. Poor mileage, long waits at the fuel desk, no restaurant, no service bays make it basically a parking lot for me. After going a lot of different ways over the years, my current approach is the Flying J PDCA Mastercard...

OR, you can contact Redneck Trailer Supply (redneck-trailer.com)on-line or the closest store to you is either Columbus, OH or Normal, IL. They have all the latest e-track stuff.

Grainger should have what you need.
