    DEAD HEAD

    You've heard the horror stories of 200 mi dh for 250 loaded, or worse. Some of those, coupled with dh to express centers 200 miles away from the drop, can add up to 40% in a hurry. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

    Radio in Freightliner

    Best Buy has a special going on now for free same-day installation (labor only) for radios $99 and up. I'm sure you could find something there that could use both XM and Sirius. I would go that way, if you can; as it would be a nice extra for when you go to sell the truck. "If I claim to be a...

    DEAD HEAD

    Express-1 and Panther both said the average is 20-30%, but to count on up to 40%. I've been getting an average of 13% lately. It all depends on who you run with and the length of the runs. Some companies specialize in local or regional freight. So if they get something from Detroit to Atlanta...

    Oh what can be said,

    Within a year, the centrists will be fighting with the leftists and we'll have a good ol' fashion barfight. I doubt the more conservative Dems won't let this Move-on group to tell them how to vote. We'll see what happens. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

    Best Teams, Worst Teams

    That's true. But another wiseman said "Ask, and ye shall recieve." And yet another one said "If at first you don't succeed, keep on succin till you do suc-ceed" ;) I've always been of the mentality of put back what you take out... like the penny cups at cash registers. You can't teach anyone if...

    Better Days Ahead ??

    Yep... too many time constraints, and no space. I've never seen a skid go on a greyhound. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

    On the road with wireless internet service

    I have a Sprint phone and pcs card. I've been in roaming with my phone, and still can get service on the card. However, when I'm with no bars on my phone, I get nada on my pcs. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

    Something called an Alliance Loadboard?

    I was the driver in Quincy, and no I didn't get the load off of gps411. What I said was that the customer probably checked gps and found I was the only truck within 40 miles of the shipper in Quincy, therefore he called my company. I don't so much use gps to find loads, but it helps when I'm in...

    HOS Discussion

    If both of us had been up, and we get a night run, we did a couple hour shifts until daybreak. Just enough to get us a nap and rest the eyes. "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

    Better Days Ahead ??

    Bravo, Letzrock! You figured me out. :) I was getting tired of the Pope/Emperor and his hard to read humor ;) "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

    DOT PHYSICAL

    Some companies, like Panther, don't recognize physicals other than their own. It's a pain in the butt after you've forked out good money only months before. If you have a Concentra office near you, I recommend them. They cost $35, or there bouts. Usually an occupational health clinic will take...

    Better Days Ahead ??

    NICE CATCH!!! Just what the doctor ordered to raise our rates. Maybe we should lobby them ;) "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

    Abbreviation aggravation

    Glad to be able to call the customer if I'm in a pinch. However, I keep getting an answering machine. I'm working... why aren't they? :P "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." - Kansas

    Abbreviation aggravation

    When my nephew was driving with me, we were always waking each other up and asking "what does this mean?" Usually no biggie since we were near the consignee anyways, but I see your point. By the time he left, I had started writing essays for directions. LOL "If I claim to be a wise man, it...

    Watch when they claim they are Christian owners

    RE: Watch when they claim they are Christian owner Sorry to hear about your circumstances. Everything in your post shows this guy is less than desirable for an owner. But believe me, not all owners are that shifty. The part that torques my chain is him telling you to dh back to Ohio for one...

    Rumsfeld resigns

    On the contrary, Cheri... many benefit if we lose. A lot of ppl in this country would like to see us as being weak in the eyes of the rest of the world. The NWO crowd wants us to have the same voice as a country like Cuba. And there are many who believe there's no place for a super power. A loss...
