    New h.o.s. Seems to put solos out

    When do you shower or take a flamin dump? Seriously I have to stop every now and again to pinch a loaf. You can't do that in a bottle.

    New h.o.s. Seems to put solos out

    You look to deep in it. We take breaks but it is easier to do when we are ready then when the gov says we are ready. Plain and simple.

    HOS And Cargo Vans

    Don't count on it. We drive 11 hours not 14. Those other 3 hours are basicly a cushion if the shipper takes too long so if that is the case they dont plan on taking too long to load it just happens you cant plan that. If it is a load that tight most shippers look for teams too. I'd say vanners...

    1/2 hour break still going smoothly

    If I was still in a S/T sure I could but what most people fail to realize when they ask "You couldnt find somewhere to park in a small town with 2 lane highways?" is that when out on 2 lanes for hours and truck stops have limited parking and grocery store lots are built in ration to the town...

    New HOS start today - figure out how to make it work

    Just because I go through towns doesn't mean I can just park wherever I want. I am not in a cargo van or straight truck so finding somewhere I can park is a bit more difficult. Say what you will believe what you want, I don't give a **** but don't think you know about my loads or schedules and...

    June locations and did you see that flying DR unit?

    I see what you mean but when you take me from my halfway decent truck to try and stick me in a temp truck that won't pass a dot inspection you kind of question your carriers integrity. Besides I was just spouting off don't really think I'm going nowhere soon.

    June locations and did you see that flying DR unit?

    In Memphis at terminal. Supposed to swap into newer truck but they tried to put me in a bigger piece of crap than the current truck. Think I'm gonna load all my stuff in my moms car and hitch a bus to Tulsa for Melton's orientation.

    The end of trucking as we know it

    Considering the price to live Mexico is much less they can run for much less. Then more American carriers can move part of operations over there and hire Mexicans who can now come here and run 3-4 weeks at lower rate. Swift and celadon already do this so it could become more common.

    4 or 5 Mexican "swift" size companies can do more damage than you want to believe.
