RE: Is this a good company ??? Asked and answered. Yes they are a good company. They are fair and honest. My problem is I'm their ownly T/T and I'm surprised I'm not running my butt off. If you are a straight truck and can go to Canada, sign up now. Chet

Thanks for all the help. I bookmarked Jeff's links so that I don't lose them.

I think it all depends on how much money you are willing to move that freight for. I'm still here on Wednesday night. No word from the homefront that there are any opportunities yet.

Thanks for saying that about Dave. I thought sure you were sort of bashing him. I discovered him on XM. What is neat is that from 3-4 I can listen to Shep Smith on FOX, then turn to Dave because he is on from 3-6 with an encore hour from 6-7, and, it just might be the first hour I missed. I...

Wrong. He does not accept credit cards. Only debit cards. His "kit" is 2 books, two DVDs and 1 Financial Planning Software CD. It was worth the money just to have my eyes opened to all the mistakes I was making. He isn't a scam artist. He only sells information and help. He became a...

More like the Roach Motel. We check in but never check out. lol

I've been good. I've been staying out of Laredo. Concentrating on El Paso instead. Well, it's January. You take what you can get. I sat in El Paso from early Saturday morning until Monday morning. I got a load going to Laredo and knew I needed the money. I arrived here last night. Isn't...

I'll be darned. That is exactly what I did. How simple. I never knew that rule. It wasn't taught to me in school. Thanks.

I purchased 2 10 ft. 4 ga bulk battery cables from O'Reilly's auto store. I put battery connector ends on each and "inverter connectors" on the other ends. I connected the ends to the battery. I connected the black to the negative lug on the inverter and the red to the positive. I got a lot...

I have been listening to Dave Ramsey and have purchased his "Total Money Makeover" starter set. I will never ever pay credit for anything again. We in America are the biggest suckers there are. We think that if we can't pay for something that we should let somebody else pay for it. The...

When I went to GATS in Dallas this year, I picked up a small cook book for OTR drivers. I read through it and found a link for a person who calls himself the OTR Chef. He has exercise tips, nutrional tips, recipes and other stuff I found very interesting. Here is his site: www.otrchef.com

Yep. Panther Elite Services includes flat bed. And, I've seen them on the road. Just not very many. But, having your own authority won't work with them. If you want lots of miles, I would suggest CRST Mallone. They are an O/O division of CRST and their trucks don't have qualcomms.

Do I make enough to live? I don't stay with a job that can't pay me well. I had two weeks off from Dec 23 until Jan 5. The 2 weeks prior to that I had a 4100 mile week followed by a 2500 mile week. I get paid by the mile. It doesn't matter to me what the load pays. It's all a matter of how...

All that history of seafood is moot now. hehe. Sorry about that. I have been a vegetarian since 1989. No more seafood, fowl, pork or beef.

I lived in Rhode Island. I had access to so much seafood. We had fish and chips every Friday at school and at home. We could walk down the street to the bay and dig our own clams and quahogs. That was before all the marinas and boats came in. I lived in a place called Oakland Beach in...

Jeff did a great job on this article. I had no idea Dwight D. was involved so early in making the interstates happen. Of course, my great state of Texas (only been here since 1997) has the most highways. And, the least open weigh stations. I remember as a boy traveling to Maine from Rhode...

You're too funny, Jeff. When are you going to call me for an interview again?

So maybe I haven't checked this forum in a while. I have been using one of those cigarette plug in lunch box heaters with pyrex glass containers to heat my food in. I buy the crock mashed potatos and macaroni and cheese from WalMart. The Uncle Ben's packaged cooked rice is great too. I open...

Jeff posted one time that he was accused of being a candidate for the Darwin Awards and, since he had never heard of them, assumed they might not be a good thing. This posting is in his honor.

2006 Darwin Awards Yes, it's again that magical time of the year when the Darwin Awards are bestowed, honoring the least evolved among us. Here is the glorious Winner: 1. When his 38-caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a holdup in Long Beach, California, would-be...
