Regarding Beaver, this was a town name- it wasn't Big Beaver Road... That I remember- because I got the photo to prove it. :) I wasn't going to let that pass me... Yes, I got proof that there are directions to it! Ha, that was funny and you know it. Moving right along, Intercourse, PA is in...

ProBusDriver, I'm curious... is this a venture you're doing on your own? or are you going to be driving for an O/O? or are you getting a truck with the intention of leasing it on to a co. and putting a solo driver into it? There are many considerations to take into account with each of these...

AOExpress, if you click on "Find Trucks" at the top of the page under the Expediters Online.com Logo, and look up International you will see what I'm talking about. There's a few Int. straight trucks with attics that have moving co. style boxes and those TX style sleepers I was telling you...

30 min. outside of Orlando in which direction? what town/area specifically??? 30 min. can make a difference in that area with traffic flow on I-4. Surely you can get a line run out of Miami and/or South FL to Orlando with freight? or Jacksonville? Try also Tampa area's. Atlanta is a long shot...

I'm going to chime in here... "sometimes" it depends on who's at the border... and the particular border crossing you are going thru as well. I will say it also does depend on the freight. Automotive freight seems to flow nicely across. Move a load of DVD's across and they will break the seal...

Ateam, if you go back and read my posts in this thread over again you will see that I've given people reading this a different approach. Why go to Amazon? or Ebay? or to a book store???? Truck drivers are there, but not in huge numbers... How many booths will you see at a truck booth with people...

Years ago, I saw a sign I took a photo of and actually have in one of my photo albums... I was driving a private coach and saw it coming up ahead of me... - could not really stop, so I grabbed the camera I keep beside the drivers seat and snapped it... keep in mind I was single at the time...

While I could write a book on transportation... I'm not about to just yet. Why? because I'm intending to someday be an Owner Operator myself. I don't want to write a book until I've done that. I've driven for many people, and driven literally thousands of people- and continue to drive...

Some people have the thought process of "there's only one way to find out". I believe there's a market there- but it's a niche market and a unique/small market... it should have a title that's savvy enough to attract all drivers, not just expediters- that's why I mentioned truck shows. The...

There's plenty of Waffle Houses with truck parking. Start making a list on your dashboard pad... then mark them in your "next exit" book. You will find that there are suddenly many new places to stop to rest your weary eyes... with truck parking- by truck I mean room enough for 2 to 4...

Here's a thought for those talking about writing books and not writing books. Go to a truck show. Have 2 (two) versions. One book in paper version- preferably of sturdy construction, and the 2nd version of a book on tape/CD. Make 100 copies of each, one on tape, one on CD, and one in paper...

Well, it seems as if I made a good post. I'm seeking a real over-the-head headset with the boom mic. The ear pieces fall out, especially when going under trailers and messing with sliding tandems. Those who run vans and straight trucks won't understand this unless they've done it a lot in the...

Actually, as much as I like waffle houses, I don't think they should expand into all the truck stops. Perhaps a select few, but not all of them. it would be like Cracker Barrel, over the years their service and quality of food has gone down hill in an effort to keep costs down- when they've...

By the way, just to emphasize... I'm talking strictly about Headsets, with the boom mic's that come down and around. Blue Tooth of course.

Here's an interesting one... Who has the best Online deals for headsets- Not Ear Pieces!! Headsets. And who has the best deals for headsets OffLine?... in everybody's opinion... and why? I'm looking for a good headset from about 80 bucks to say 100 or so dollars. Trying my search from a...

DaveKC hit it right on... it's what you make of it. I've been driving commercially since about 98 or so. My dad drove for 42 years. He told my brother and I to never get into truckin'. My brother listened. I did not. it's in my blood I guess. I resisted it, but it still reeled me in... And you...

I have heard that, due to "Supply and Demand"... prices might fall some. They are not saying how much, however- due to the demand for fuel being lower in an otherwise demanding Japan- there will be more supply than demand- therefore to unload the supply, prices "might" drop some. They are not...

I agree with you Bill. Teams may be able to average that- and if they do, it's not going to be a surprise that one driver "may be" driving more than the other... but solo's averaging those #'s are cheating more on their logs than on their taxes. How can I say that?? Well, what you're telling...

interesting comments. If you want the work, the work is there. However, one of the replies did say something about a CSA Score and alert... to clarify... was that for Blair? or ? Explain further please. Just curious. Also, regarding one of the comments on government regulations on vans...

I've "delivered" to the FedEx Orange Bowl many times, and many NFL games and a few Nascar races as well. with the busses. Even drove a bus with a full load of people on a Michelin test track!! that was cool, right up there with a full load on the Homestead Speedway with Formula One cars on both...
