We were offered a load on a Thursday, 600 miles... but noticed on the offer we couldn't delivery till that Monday. So we asked if they were going to pay us layover- our company said they could not pay it. Now there are some things to consider... your missing 2 days (Thursday,Friday) for that...

Delivered a load to Cambridge, On then DH ourselves to Toronto... went to bed early - happy to know we were first out/ and the only team! This was a Thursday night- so pretty much we would be getting out the next day... Yeah!!!! Got a load offer- woke us up out of a dead sleep, Load was picking...

Thats good advice- but the problem with that is.... You don't know how long you will have to wait for a load, and if it is awhile and you need a shower, or fuel, or facilities you will have to move - and we will lose our board position when we move! Well that is how it is with our carrier-...

My question is for drivers who are on a 60/40 split and who pay for the fuel. We pay fuel, and tolls- and get 100 0/0 F.S. When we first started a year ago diesel was 2.79 a gallon, and our average F.S. was around .34 a mile... So here we are a year later average diesel now 4.39 a gallon and...

To the team in Beaver Springs PA- We sat there Thursday, and a Friday in a 1st out position... and never got an offer- screwed up our whole week. We ended up moving ourselves. Just figured that maybe that shipper dried up, slowed down, or...

I am not sure if it is possible, but I know that sick feeling you get in your stomach when you roll past an accident site... we were in WI yesterday and saw a double that had wrecked the cab and first car were totally burnt up, ambulances everywhere, and troopers. Then early this morning I80E...

We are a team truck leased to the Cat... seems all we have been offered lately is short runs? It's Thursday and we have just a little over 1000 miles in! We can still pull out a week- we have before... is anyone else experiencing this? We might just be in the wrong area at the wrong times...

We are a team with Panther, and since we came back from christmas break- we have managed to pull out okay weeks, nothing off the charts, but pretty decent. Thank goodness we go to Canada though- our longest runs have been up to Toronto, and a run to Quebec, and a run just across the border...

Last wednesday we only had 556 miles in for the week, but then we pulled it out- took a 800 up into Canada, and got a 756, just over 2000 a week is not great... but beats what we were thinking was going to happen last Wednesday! We did drive through the snow that hit North Carolina... what a...

Being together 24/7 has it's pros and cons... I find myself getting irritated at stuff that normally would not bother me- the way he humms, breathes, laughs, orders food, walks, talks on the phone ect... LOL! When I'm feeling like that I know i am just tired, a day of sleep with the truck not...

Pay scheme is right! We had a similar experience, wish I would have found this website first! Lesson learned never do buisness with out a contract! We were told one thing regarding our split, but the rules changed as it went along. When we decided to drive for other owners, we gave plenty of...

RE: there is no place like home, there is no place Well our first out in Dallas Texas came, and went... it was up to Washington! With a stop off in California, total 1857 miles. But we would never make it home for christmas... so we turned it down. That Hurt!!!! Back to the back of the pack...

RE: there is no place like home, there is no place We can't wait to get home! We have been out since the first week in October. In Dallas today with 1st out- can't be too picky about load since there are many trucks here- and a refusal will put us at the back of the pack! Hoping for load...

I just tried the lap pixies, pretty cool. Can you make the T.V. bigger? Coul not find and option to do that? Thanks

We are doing the Adkins diet. I have heard about the south beach diet- I thought it would be too hard to make the dishes while on the road? So hows it going? Let us know!

Well my boyfriend just weighed today- and has lost 7 pounds! I don't know my weight loss, because I was too chicken to get on the scale in the beginning! But i can tell the difference in my stomach, and the way my clothes feel. The low carb was a little rough in the beginning, had a few...

Bet he didn't enter through the Banning bed and breakfast !!!

We got a 400.00 bonus- but we are a straight truck.

We took a load there, but had a 400.00 bonus to get back to freight area! Never touch those with out some help- thats just crazy! Even if the owner of the truck does pay for fuel- you would not be doing a good job for him! If we stick together and don't run cheap freight- we will all be better...

I have talked to a few teams and some on this site, and they broker there own back hauls out of areas- and don't wait for Panther to get them a load. In orientation they gave us a web site.. but really no step by step instructions. I know the company takes a percent, and you have to get their...
