    Just sharing

    Your right. Unless it's your fault, P2 pays the tow. I went from Erie, PA to Augusta, GA. I got real sleepy once I got into South Carolina. I told them I was going to stop and rest for an hour, and they wanted to tow me to the consignee, but after I talked with Safety, we figured our that I was...

    Did You Know This????

    We shouldn't really get into this here, but... those 2000 Americans, who gave their lives, so that others could be free, volunteered to do so, and knew, when they volunteered, that someday they would need to do what needed to be done, to make this world we live in, just a little bit better. If...

    I don't know any who don't go to Canada. If YOU don't want to go to Canada, just tell the company you sign with, or refuse the load. I don t believe anyone can "make" you go.

    Be very careful when looking for a credit card outside the normal "bank". Some of the cards out there that offer a great intro percentage rate, will end up kill'n you in the long run. After the intro, they jack up the interest rate to an amount that would make Donald Trump mad, and, don't be...

    HOW DO YOU USE MIRRORS???

    FedEx Ground drivers are I/C's. So if the driver was working for someone, I'm guessing he's out of work!

    Anyone Else Get Trapped In Michigan?

    I know what you mean. I was in Woodhaven last week, along with 5 other P2 drivers, (Note: I was the last one there), and a dozen others, and I was given a load from Ann Arbor to Lafaytette. What's the odds that some of those drivers where passed over? Worked out well for me, cause I ended up...

    Marine batteries should be sealed also. Don't know if ones cost more the the other, but marine batteries should be easier to find.

    Extra batteries...

    Thank you so much. I knew, if anyone would come through, you'd be one of the first! I'll be working on this project toward the end of June, right after the PII contest is over. This will give me time to gather all of the needed supplies. Again, thanks much.

    cargo van OTR drivers

    I've made space in may van to make sure I'm comfortable while I'm out on the road. My comfort is as important as getting the freight from point A to point B.
