I also find it prudent (Scriptural too!) to confront the person directly. Often times I have discovered that it was simply a miscommunication or I was lacking a vital piece of information that would put things in their proper prospective. Admittedly, there have been numerous occasions when I...

As I originally stated, I expect the criticism; therefore, I dealt with it long before I even posted. FYI, the media seldom ever referred to President Clinton as William Jefferson Clinton and the First Lady as Hillary Rodham Clinton until there were murmurings of impeachment for the Oval...

Everything that is being said, or will be said in the future, has been said before. - Reverend David Hall Ecc 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. - God The above references can...

OK, I have actually been moving some freight so I just wanted to reply to some of the posts. First, this is an informal setting and the thought never crossed my mind that folks would expect you to make actual footnotes; considering the amount of information that is readily available to any...

Yes, I thought it was a great deal! My Chevy dealer offers me a commercial discount and takes into consideration that I have bought two vans in the past two years, but they charge $16.95 just to rotate the tires. $69.95 covers the balance, rotation and nitrogen for as long as you own the van...

As you live in Ohio I suggest checking with Tire Discounters. They rotate, balance and fill with Nitrogen every 5,000 miles. Van price: $69.95 for as long as you own the vehicle.

Barack Hussein Obama How does a senator who came from out of the fog land himself front and center on the pages of USA Today, where he's touted as "the new face of change and reform for the democratic party?" Without the media, could Barak Obama have discovered the fast track to fame...

Most drivers have indicated that their particular carrier is not adding new units. You may want to stay put until things pick up a little more. ;)

Mr. Moot, I should have stated: "Everyone that I have spoken with that has the exact type of van as mine." Please accept my apology for not including all of the pertinent information in my original post. I have gotten as high as 19.2 mpg with the 2008. It has the Driver Information...

Yes. They still have mentors. These folks are a great help to new drivers. Tri State has an open door policy. I can go into the Administration Building without an appointment and speak with anyone in management. That is probably why we do not need a Driver's Council.

Assume nothing. Be proactive. What is my responsibility in such matters? Do I simply gripe, grumble, complain, back bite, nit-pick, criticize, gossip or cast disparaging remarks about the offender. If I do, then I am at fault for doing so! Matthew 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall...

I read the "Rip Off" report. All "TWO" of them! I then searched for a major expediter and I found 50 (FIFTY) negative posts about that carrier. I also searched for a major TT carrier that has a Driver Training Program and there were over 100 (One Hundred) negative posts in regards to that...

Of course, I am not a "Professional" trucker, simply because I drive a cargo van, :D but when I load a 55 gallon barrel of solvent, which happens on a fairly regular basis...cha ching...add $81.25 to my bottom line for that load. Last week I got a HAZMAT offer: 237 miles at... $189.60 FSC...

Brommpilot said, "SLOW DOWN do not go over 62, I have no comparison for myself but other drivers I talk to drive 65+ average with the same equipment I have are getting in the low 6s, for a route of 2,900 miles per week 483 gallons 7 mpg for the same route 414 and if its 7.5 its even more than...

Ditto! No matter which direction one chooses: fleet driver, company driver or owner/operator, we have no one to blame but ourselves if we do not spend some time gathering information. The same goes for making any purchase: tires, trucks, audio equipment, tv's, computers, etc.

Excellent information! As I have said many times before: "When you get into expediting, you better have a hobby that fits in the truck, because boredom will manifest into frustration, and frustration will make you rethink your career path."

I searched the net, but I did not see any references for a Chevrolet HCV. Do you have link?

Looking to change careers? Are thinking about switching carriers? Maybe you are considering an “In House” Driver Training Program. Quite possibly you are going to purchase a new piece of equipment. Investigate, investigate, and investigate. Find out everything you can before making any...

At this time of year most carriers have a "freeze" on adding any additional cargo vans. Seems to be a decent amount of straight truck loads between Chicago - Milwaukee - Minneapolis - Davenport As far as HOS in a van: 1. Yes, you are required to log in some states and with certain amounts of...
