I was thinking about ya'll when I finally decided upon an avatar.

You are right, you would hate to see me backing up, its a funny site. But I'd rather be safe than sorry. The most challenging for me was actually pulling out of the t/s Friday night when it was full, but I was so proud to be pulling out of there with a load while they were all hunkering down...

I know, I was teasing ... cuz you said "our"

for us non h/w teams, I don't think there is anything bad that they can catch us on hold. I think only teams really can be caught saying stuff on hold unless your a little bit crazy and talk to yourself out loud. I remember my shrink telling me its ok to talk to yourself, as long as you...

One thing I could definately use some help with is backing into docks. I obviously am super careful and I take my time, I find myself scared to back right in to the dock, should I just go ahead and bump the dock and let the rubber do its job? Got any tips?

You know what I would do, drive at your own pace and be late a few times to test out what happens. I've never gotten in any trouble any of the times I've been late.

I didn't see no pics of Canadian troops :confused:

Is there a GE facility in Waycross? I think that was one of my first pick ups.

What was it? Anyway we can participate late?

I work for a small carrier and I've felt the same way OP has at times when I was in a cv. But not all the time, only on the shorter loads. On anything over 600 miles, its always pretty much at 48 mph. Which gives me time to sleep if I need to. But on the shorter runs, 300-600 miles, a lot of...

Well tbh, I was trying to get as close as possible and I was being a little dramatic when I say swerve as I was moving 5 mph or less, so inching along was probably a better descriptive word but not nearly as dramatic. Driving in the rain last night was a good experience. I actually found it...

When did I say it wasn't your right? If you want to sitaround armed in your house waiting for someone to intrude,by all means go ahead. When I am at home, I prefer to relax and enjoy myself. If cops busted down my door, I wouldn't have a chance to get armed because I'm too busy enjoying my...

lol I love how you makestuff up. Where did I say I want to throw out the bill of rights?

cops are human, they are going to make mistakes, that is a reality, the system isn't perfect. Should we outlaw all cops because 2 mistakes were made. You need to look at the big picture and take economies of scale into consideration. Thousands of innocent people are wrongly charged every...

That's fine, when you show me a real current example of that happening, I might pretend to feel bad. But until your hypothetical scenarios become more than super rare freak occurences, I'll continue to let the system do it's job, which for the most part, on the subject at hand, it is from what...

ssshhh don't tell OVM this,he already bleed Ontario dry, is currently working on Texas, Michigan might be his next target :p

Maybe ask the company that got you the load if they want you to check with your other carriers for a van in the area. Might be better for them to broker half of it out instead of you losing it.

For the most part yes, I agree with the law of averages. I believe that as long as you don't put yourself in shady situations, you won't have a problem. I'm not going to expend my energy worrying about shady people. It goes to the people who had their camera's taken away, if they would have...

Or use it to your advantage andbrown nose a little and talk up how fair this dispatcher is and how he always comes through for you. Make him feel like a real douche if he can't get you what you asked lol

Sitting @ the Petro in Bordentown, NJ with about 6 Fed ST's and a couple sprinters. 1 or 2 left though. I can't believe some of these sleepers, must be 10l and the box looks only 18-20 feet, sure is squished in my 3' sleeper but @ least I got plenty of room for freight. My sleeper looks...
