    Attention newbies!!

    It sucks everywhere right now. I'm in t/l and sitting at 900 miles for the week. Not happy camper at all and may be looking for a change.

    On the right track?

    Kyle also I forgot to mention check in to mesilla valley transportation out of las cruces nm. They run a lot of west coast but they do run all over. Plus they have awesome fuel bonus.

    Leaving panther beware

    I think they new if they started my clock and I couldn't run it by the time hours run out the would be cross docking or towing to cons. Cargo vans are different in the sense that they don't log.

    Leaving panther beware

    I was with panther 2 times and I cant say we ever had a problem with dry run pay either. I was also never told to roll right away unless it was genuinely ready. I guess they knew my clock started as soon as i rolled and if it wasnt ready then my clock would run out.

    ABS light on

    Mine doesn't have a red dash light only a yellow. When it stays on it is a dot violation. If it flashes on a hard brake it flashes and then goes off.

    On the right track?

    I started with prime. They had good and bad but get the exp and move on. I drive for ozark and I love it but it is a company that expects drivers who don't need their hands held. In your area also check out Gordon and if you want flatbed look at system transport. Both rated among top training...

    cargovan class 2014 would you go?

    Straight trucks and cargo vans are apples to oranges. Straight truck you actually have to work to get into unlike a van where no cdl/experience is required. Panther orientation the 2 times I was in it was flooded with van guys who thought they could succeed and they all talked about owning a...

    Does the DOT target truckers?

    I have had brand new tires last 10k miles and then shred. Nothing wrong with recaps.

    Landstar info please

    I also was given current drivers a year ago to speak with. Like someone stated to people who process apps said its limited to ones that allow it.

    Truck GPS options

    I got the pc miler 450 and love it. It is more accurate than my 465 garmin ever was. I got mine at loves in midlothian tx for about $170.

    So what is better right now for solo?

    Some things to consider though xiggi, unless you own the truck are you really going to make more than what I make? I mean the 40% is usually less cpm than what I get, plus inconsistent miles and then a 1099 and the only business write offs you get are per diem and anything you buy for the truck...

    So what is better right now for solo?

    Yea I married a girl from there and just kinda got sucked in to it. Lol FedEx as a team isn't bad it is just all my team drivers did it a few weeks and took off. They couldn't handle the occasional sitting as a team. That didn't bother me, it was the constant sitting as a solo that caused me...

    So what is better right now for solo?

    Sat in monroe,mi for 2 days because my few solo runs all canceled. Then after those they bounced me around doing 200-300 mile loads 1 a day every other day. I did this for a month before i threw in the towel and went back t/t. This was with fedex cc. Im not by any means saying they are a bad...

    Ambient sensors....Heard of them?

    We don't have them but then again we don't need them. We have thermoking apu and espar bunk heaters. My truck never idles even when doing drop/hook I shut her down. Reason above not to drive for sni or Weiner.

    So what is better right now for solo?

    Honestly best bet would be class a and truckload carrier. When I solo'd in a straight I averaged about 1200 miles a week. Currently my smallest week in a t/t solo has been 2500 miles. The "expedite" is a sketchy market to be in for a solo with bills to pay, be better off as a telemarketer.
