    HAZMAT Debacle

    GREAT! That means that the letters are finally going out. By any chance, do you remember what your number was, when you applied on the internet?

    Passenger seat.

    Funny thing, you bringing this up. I'm home for a couple of day, with the sole purpose of removing my passenger seat. Besides all of the great reasons listed above, I figure it will give me more dance floor space, so I won't keep hitting my head on the disco ball! :+

    QUESTION FROM A POSSIBLE NEWBIE

    Depending on which carrier you go with, they may require that you have a hazmat endorsement on your license. You can contact your local driver license office to see what the requirements are for your state. Here in Ohio, if your driving your own vehicle, you can get a CDL-C without doing...

    Worst Roads

    How about US-35 from the West Virginia/Ohio line, down to I-64. Two lanes wide, fast truck traffic and DEAD DEER EVERYWHERE. Too bad it's the best shortcut from Ohio to I-77.

    My first van was a 1997 Ford E250 (3/4 ton) extended, with a small V-6. I put about 98,000 on it the first year. I ran that van about another year, before I bought a used 2001 Chevy 3500 (1 ton) extended. I could'nt believe how well the Chevy handled an 1800# load vs the way my old Ford drove. I...

    Cargo vans

    Which companies are currently putting on cargo vans? I have a 2001 Chevy 3500 extended, and I live in SW Ohio. I've been running with a company out of Cincinnati, for about 2 1/2 years now, but I'd like to find a carrier with a little more work. I have a CDL-B, and I'll have my HazMat...

    Cargo vans

    I talked with Panther II this morning, and I'll be attending their Wednesday/Thursday orientation this week. I can't wait to get back out on the road. I tell people all the time, when they ask what I do for a living, that I've got one of the best jobs in the world. Driving all over the country...
