I don't think they're looking to scam me. Their track record for pay is good. No one's ever not sent em an original though as far as I'm aware of. Sorry if it came out like that. I def. think Turtle hit on something w/ em thinking that's the way it's always been. IMO she truly thinks the...

I remember part of a thread on this very thing not to long ago. Basically I was worried about an original not getting to the office in the US Mail after I'd had paperwork signed & faxed in. I do have copies, but they didn't get the original. So now I'm sitting here after making a delivery...

What he did was pretty drastic but people are getting fed up w/ the crooks in the IRS. This one just happened to lash out some. He was probably fed up w/ being ripped off by those crooks. I hope no one who was filing their taxes or what have ya was hurt. I've dealt w/ the IRS twice. Both...

When I go to the J's truckstop to use their internet cafe I was suprised to find out what the majority of truckers seemed to be doing on the internet. I would have expected it to be looking at porn. Nope, not even close. The majority of em seemed to be looking for other jobs.

Great thread here. Searched "Aerocell" & found it. So a little over a year later, how's your truck holding up? What have ya found ya like & what are some of the things ya might have changed up if ya were to do it over again?

I try to use the truckstops pretty much for fuel, showers, & now internet if I can help it. When I'm ready to sleep I'll drive to a hotel & sleep in their parking lot. I'm in a cargo van. This wouldn't work for trucks. No place is 100% safe but you're less likely to have the type of people who...

Flying J would be my choice of these but I also like Speedways, which wasn't listed. Flying J also has an internet card (10MB) for $24.99/month. Not sure if that's better or worse than the other places. It's better priced than my home internet though. I had worried about running out...

It's not like I'm getting a ton of work now but back when the weather was decent I had like 4 runs in 4 months or something like that. This year I've had 3 runs in crap weather alone.

Third time trying to reply to this thread. Last nite I did & it didn't post & just now I tried & it didn't take. Good thread here. I obviously wanna reply to it. Basically yes I run in bad weather. As for the why I'm not so sure. Guess I'd rather move than sit, even if it's at a snails...

I finally got a computer for being out on the road. It's a used P3 that my brother gave me to try out before I decide if I want to keep using this one or get a new one. Anyway, it doesn't have a battery for it. So the only way to run it is to plug it in. What I do is plug it into a 175 watt...

I worked for em for a bit a few years ago. They got rid of their American fleet, as has been said. You being from Canada could sign on w/ em. General thoughts are that they're low paying but their dispatch was very good. When I was w/ em I didn't mind the pay cuz a lot of the runs were...

Oh, meant to add one other thing. WIOT (104.7) is in Toledo. IMO one of the great stations in the country. When I had to leave Toledo & get in the Detroit area I actually drove around to make sure I wasn't living out of the reception area of that station. With the internet I imagine ya...

Yea there are warmer climates. What I liked about Toledo was the people were really nice. I made a fair amount of friends in just a short time there. I liked how it's the most southern place to get CBC out of Canada (hockey fan here). I liked how it had some big city things w/out having the...

I've lived in Toledo & I loved it there. I truly enjoyed it more than I did Las Vegas, & that's not a knock on Vegas. I'd move back in a heartbeat. Good luck to ya if ya end up there. I think you'll be happy.

I just got started again. So at this moment I'd say no. There are some 1 company situations that aren't perfect either though. So if something is good or bad, I don't think it so much has to do w/ how many carriers you're signed on w/ as much as it does your specific situation. My point...

I'm gonna disagree here. If both parties know upfront then it's not cheating. I've been with one company & also recently tried multiple. If one company could keep me busy enough I agree I'd like to go that way. However, as has been mentioned, there are some companies that would prefer you...

I have. I also worked w/ 50 or so people who also owned em. I'm sure they've fixed some of the quirks that were in em when I owned mine. I'm not bashing the current Sprinters cuz I haven't owned one in a few years. Mine was junk though. Little things like the defog wasn't enough for the...

These aren't so much 2010 resolutions as much as a few things that have been in the works for awhile now. 2010 just happens to be the due date, so to speak. 1) Have my g/f & her kids move in w/ me 2) Take a vacation to England 3) Have everything except for my house paid off- April is the...

I just got off the phone w/ ATT. I got DSL for my house w/ the capability of using their wifi hot spots unlimited for $30/month. I got the up to 3.0 speed. Ya can get 1.5 for $25 or if ya wanna go to the 6.0 I think that's like $35 or 40. The way it was explained to me was that this wasn't...

I actually did google Propane Disposal. I was more looking for a place. I wasn't even aware the thing you gave me the link to existed. I bought mine at Lowes & to my knowledge they didn't have a disposal center. So I was more thinking the ideas would be people saved em up & took em to the...
