Just to clarify so there's no crazy opinions formed... I didn't ask why you lived in Bison SD... Dakota asked that in his post from 10-10-09. I was just simply making conversation. Personally I enjoy the wide open spaces of the SW and mid-west states. I've always enjoyed rollin' across...

regarding Bison South Dakota... why would any one choose to live there? I ask why would anybody make an 18-wheeler drive off of 70 and over thru Fair Play, CO? (instead of laying over due to the passes being shut down for "avalanche reduction") There's 2 "Hair Pin" curves outside of Breckinridge...

Many have asked me why I've not gone on with Greyhound and I just tell them it's due to the whole Extra Boy thing... I was always told they'll call u when ever for a run - so you can never plan anything. atleast with trucking and charter/private bus work you can "somewhat" plan for events and...

Actually, the life of most OTR drivers is "never on a set schedule"... due to a lovely word called "Dispatch". The other word that plays a role in Schedule is "Load". :)

I've not replied or posted in some time now... as my life has had some major changes in the last few years. Born in North Tarrytown, NY (Aka Sleepy Hollow), then moved to South FL when I was 5. Thru school I had bought sold and repaired bicycles. When I got out of HS in '96, I continued...

Twins Custom Coaches is a neat site... But all I saw on it was 1 actual truck. That "real" truck they built looked to be doing all it really could comfortably perform - special events tours. Their "coaches" are not practical at all in the freight biz. I do like the bunk and dinette layout... I...

I have worked expediting before, for more than 1 O/O. Having nearly 12 years of driving all kinds of equipment, locally and over the road.... I believe I know what I'm getting myself into. This post has made it clear that unless I have a HazMat end., nobody in expediting wants me... therefore...

I'd run with him if I knew the guy... I'm looking 2 b the main driver, u get into situations where you're teaming with a truck owner and many times (and I don't blame them) all they want to do is run run and run some more. I'm not saying I want to stop and smell the roses at every ramp... I want...

Went from 88 views, I replied to myself, and it went up to 128 views. Interesting.

Nobody will respond to it after 88 views? Fine, I'll respond to myself. Well, Bob - You posted on the wkend of the ExpeditersExpo - what do you expect? They're all busy at the Expo! Besides, until you get your HazMat, most owners have no need for you in nearly all the co.'s in expedited...

real quick... seeking good truck with good O/O, that lets me handle the freight and the hometime. I can team with a smoker, or run solo (i don't smoke). Drink and drug free. Team mate would be from upstate SC near where I reside. Would run straight truck or Semi. Intending to go for...

I'm in search of a good owner to run for, that has a good ride and the right location and hometime plan that will work for me. Once again, I'm off the road doing local driving, with a little bit of long distance wkend stuff with busses and/or trucks - but I miss the road. Our 2nd child is...

I'm always kickin' somethin' somewhere, somehow. I'm still driving, and still hauling whatever comes my way. The Wife don't like it all the time, but funny thing is... she's never angry when I put money in the bank. :)

What a novel idea!!! EvansAddOns has it goin' On don't they?! WOW. That is really cool. I could see that being worthy investment, esp. on rigs that do shows and races and special touring circuits. in a 96" sleeper, you can have a shower and toilet seperately. Many opt to have it as one unit...

Where are those trucks at? a finders fee for their location? why so secretive? they're fairly easy to obtain. Those are former straight trucks I take it? I say that due to their long frames... most likely former produce and/or moving co. trucks? I would be putting a c/o to use as a...

Is the best mpg a KW K100 Aerodyne (with high roof) gonna get to be about 6 pmg?

I was viewing the "drivers Wanted" section of the classifieds... and found it very interesting that many of the ads are for Panther, there are not many other owners and/or co.'s that are seeking drivers. I have my suspicions about why that is. anyways, I just thought I'd mention that. another...

I believe that to be truckstop gossip. I don't know about the Swift's CDL school fraud, but I do know I moved up from my Class B to my Class A license 4 years ago now with Swift... thru the Memphis terminal. I had no trouble. One thing I did spot was that they had TN DOT workers...

I don't know about "Creating" because I'm not an Owner Operator. I am a Contract Driver/Company Driver. I've often thought about becoming an Owner Operator. I'm married now for 2 years, and have a 16 month old son. I also have a car payment now, and a house with 5 acres - 2 (two) miles from...

I've had many dock workers tell me that I didn't need to secure the freight with load bars and/or straps... but I did it anyways. Whenever I was asked why I was using more than one load bar and/or strap - I told them I was looking out for my family and their family. I don't know who's behind...
