I just recently got back to the point to where I have to wear a belt with my size 36 jeans. Don't know how, and don't really much care, as long as I don't run into this scenario... The guy I used to get my baseball umpiring gigs from has this huge pot belly. He was at the YMCA in the shower...

Yeah... and just what is wrong with that, Kraig???

I'll start this one with the absolutely oddest occurence during an inspection. Laura had her license for a week. It still had the temp paper attached to it from the state. We're tooling along in MO when she has to go to the scales. The first weird thing was that the DOT guy flipped the sign to...

That guy with the huge pee box looked like Dick Cheney. Appropriate for his name and pee box to be used in the same sentence.

I'd like to phone a friend. Or should I use my 50/50????

So then my suggestion would be to get a whole lot of microwaveable meals, some movies, crank on the generator (if available) and get the pen ready for the sleeper line.

If you're running with a woman, wouldn't she be Queen??? Not like Freddy Mercury or anything... but I know who runs this truck!!!

Just wondering... There are a few people that have sig lines that mean something to them. Others are funny sayings or quotes that they've heard over the years. What does yours mean??? Mine is a play on a post that I read some time back... We should all know who the original author was.

So yeah, what Greg said... only I didn't get the sources. What a copycat!!!

When have you heard this? According to what I've been told, whenever you are not driving/on-duty, you are resting. There have been many times where we have sat over a weekend for more than 34 hours. We log it appropriately and voila... reset! I've never been asked to produce a receipt for a...

With all that being said, Greg... Larry and I have had that fight on a regular basis. Laura and I started right off the jump running like thieves. He says it's because our fleet owner has too much pull with the company. When would you say that the fleet owner stuff gets tossed aside and it's...

True, E1man, and since we are driving for the same racket we are sure to have some horror stories to tell between the two of us. But, the only thing to do is to plug away at it until we get it right. And by right, I mean until we're happy. Don't live like a bum. The way that I look at it is...

It's funny... because the mechs and dealers that rave about it all over the US about how great it would be as an expediter, were the same people that were that were throwing this engine under the bus.

I'm just trying to figure out who the Nostradamus is in this bunch. How do we know that it's going to be slow throughout 2008 into 09? Fact is this... This business has way too many unknowns for us all to figure out. Like this one... whoda thunk that we would have gotten over 12k miles last...

I guess it would depend on what carrier would keep you out that way. With E1, we've been out to New England a couple times. Other companies do better others don't. Best way to figure that out would be to call the recruiters, or to post this in the Ask the Recruiter forum so they can answer you...

There are a few companies that look around the whole log thing. I'm not going to name names, because that would be suicidal for everyone involved. And actually, the 45-50 baseline that the dispatchers lay down is only for a bidding time. The actual that you can run on average is usually around...

Max we can haul is approx 12k. We get in the hills, we do what ya normally do. Give it some down the backside to get it goin up the front of the next. The cruise is for the flatlands. The 280 isn't much the problem, it's just that they didn't configure it in anyway for what we do. They take...

Hmmmmm... I probably would've put that in a private message. You don't know who's reading these posts.

Which hill is that? There have been times when we can't even get up a hill for an overpass. To me, it doesn't really matter how they have it geared. If it's not made for OTR type of freight, it needs to stay in the city where it belongs. These trucks are nothing but glorified in-town U-Haul...

We were sitting in West Point, MS that night. We had been watcihng local news all night and they were giving updates. At first, it didn't look like anything was coming our way. Everything coming into MS was from LA and AR and heading towards TN at a decent clip. There were tornados dropping here...
