HI Personally I'd give them more time.Moving right now could just end up costing you money you probably don't have(since it's been so slow). Right now you know your companies system and if you switch now your going to be caught figuring out a new system during what is normally a good quarter...

HI And to think some one once got on here and said there is no 90 day honeymoon.You see they just keep on hiring even when they know its slow and then feed these new guys.The proof is in this topic if you can read between the lines.Nothing against the new guys, but this practice needs to...

HI Seems to me this would violate sleeper berth rules unless you have 2 bunks.The ex once hauled an armed Marine and guard dog from Colorado to Maryland.He was given a list of stops at the beginning of the trip.Every stop was at a McDonalds because the dog liked chicken nuggets.At each stop...

Hi I set my e-track at 17" from the wheel wells.1/4x2" stove bolts with lock washers spaced 12" apart.Then I sprayed undercoating on each bolt to keep the body metal from rusting around the bolts.

Hi I wish I could run three round per week for that kind of money.Sound like your dad is offering a pretty good deal.Loads for 48'flatbeds are plentiful. If he lets you trip lease a couple of loads between his dedicated loads that would cut down them student loans pretty quick.And you could...

Hi If Gm and Ford keep laying off and closing plants then you can expect it to be like this all the time.Their inefficency and their willingnest to spend money kept this industry fed.If your company only does NLMI freight then it's time to find another company.That ship is either going to sink...

HI Just wondering if any Sprinter owners have had problems maintaining operating temps in extremely cold weather? Seems to me if they can't take being idled in mild weather then they should have the same problems running down the road in -40 weather.
