    It's coming

    Its a scary thought on how much more the government is creating seemingly "controlling and monitoring" agencies (big brother) and becoming closer to "controlling the american people". 911 has really changed the USA. It feels more and more to similarities of communism or an autocratic...

    Pets- Cranberry Coast Cats

    Has anyone had any experience with this business? Curious about feedback from anyone that has. They cater to truck drivers who want a pet cat for their truck, more specifically exotic looking types as I read in their ad. Website is cranberrycoastcats.com if anyone interested.

    Would you be willing to shut down??

    We as truck drivers ARE part of the public. We have as much right to strike as the UAW, the writers in California, major league baseball players and other pro (millionaire!!!) athletes. Lets not forget you hockey fans and others just to make a point that there was a whole season missed recently...

    O/O $500 a week too much

    Thanks for all your opinions. I felt it was too high also. I was trying to illicit an amount from the thread and receive a number figure. I was thinking in the range of $350 - $400 weekly would be fairly reasonable. :confused:

    Truck strike- rumor or FYI

    Stay away from the Guinness. Me, behind the times, if you also realize i'm fairly new on here, not to mention trucking. Let's not exaggerate, I'm not "The One" who is talking about this. I didn't start the thread. By your own admission many others have been talking about it since 2005. And its...

    Would you be willing to shut down??

    I think what he meant to say is that he does not believe Ron Paul will help, not that he won't help. Mexicans crossing the border, that will happen no matter who is in office. McCain ( mr. pro war ) Hillary, Obama, Bush, Reagan, Carter. The latter 2 is to remind that border crossers have been...

    Would you be willing to shut down??

    I've been talking about a truck strike for weeks now, look at my past posts. Now that there's a real strike,look at all the members on here supporting it when no one would support me before. Ron Paul running for president who wants to do away with the IRS (which is the main reason he got my...

    Truckers Expect Record High Fuel Costs - Forbes.com

    Anyone can slow down and save mpg's. I would Love to have the opportunity to slow down and save mpg's with a lower sane fuel price. Why not have the lower fuel price along with our own discipline to drive around 60 to save mpg's. I mean, the damn prices have risen 60 cents in the last 2-3 weeks...

    Lower fuel prices

    It won't happen without pro-active action. Do we have to write congress? The gasoline companies sure wont lower the prices on their own. $110 for a barrel of oil as of the last price increase. A week long strike by the truck drivers will surely bring notice. the larger cities like newyork...
