Use a fake name for those, they don't ask for ID when you win, unless its a licenced draw for like a $10k prize. But standard door prizes don't require ID.

I also like to park beside the building if I can. I have a bit of a conscience and I go in with my laptop and if I'm only buying a $1 soft drink, I only stay until my battery dies, which is about an hour. Afterwards, I'll go outside and if I can get a spot next to the building, you can still...

Or a Nozzle bombing TA that kicks out expeditors in the middle of the night.

Our main dispatcher who works from 9 am to 9 pm is a former driver. But they've got 3-4 other people who support him but they aren't drivers. But he is pretty busy keeping track of 50 drivers I imagine. But I like him, he's a good guy, I'm just know I get 1/50th of his attention. But I...

I don't want to start a new thread and I don't want to hijack someone else's thread but reading the crisis averted thread got me thinking about sitting and waiting vs moving. I have found a couple of times that my drop off is in what I consider a low population density area. aka 60-100 miles...

I had no choice but to fuel up in the back today, what a pita. You have to sit there and hold it at close to minimum flow. I don't understand the Indiana thing and the different prices, guess I'll ask next time at the office.

Picked up in Terre Haute, In last night and just dropped in Hillsborough, NJ. Gonna catch some zzz's at McDonalds.

I'm really tired after waiting 2.5 hrs for my load to be ready, then driving 775 miles last night. But thanks for all the replies. What I realize is that I need to take the time and do a business plan and feasibility study of different vehicles. But first, sleep.

Your assuming there going to be shipped :eek:

tbh the hurray is habbit, nothing else. When I drive my car, I religously drive 8-9 miles past the speed limit and I've never got a ticket in my life, knock on wood. Well I did get tickets when I was 20 and sped but none in the past 10+ years driving reasonable. The other part is just...

Yea I am based out of Indiana, that is where I paid $0.30 more last Thursday. I don't remember the other place but it could have been Indiana.

Not every Pilot or Love truck stop charge different but many do. I've pulled over at an exit and seen the auto diesel price $0.20 / gallon higher than the advertised diesel price. The first time I seen that, even though it wasn't my money, I seen a Love TS down the road, so I went for a...

Thanks. Can you share some of the math how you calculated the costs. aka how would I factor in 6-8k less in capital costs to my operating costs on a per mile basis. I guess, I would use an average maybe?

Until you build one of these It doesn't matter when the perfect time was. :p

Thats because most of us are hoping for a better result next year.

I understand that slowing down will save MPG. That is basic common sense. What I was looking to get out of this thread was the difference in cost of diesels vs gas. Gas is obviously cheaper per gallon. With the improvements in the gas engines and getting better MPG than 15 years ago, is...

I actually never tried the nozzle but I was told by the other driver that it wouldn't fit and I had to go to the front. I should note that I have a heavy foot, I pretty much always drive 6-7 miles over the speed limit so I'm doing 76-77 mph most of the time. About half of my loads have been...

I've done some searches on mpg and what people are getting but I didn't come across anything comparing the cost per mile of gas vs diesel. I'm currently driving a company sprinter. I've been keeping track of mpg and how much I've been paying for fuel. Last week, I drove 1772 miles. Fuel...

slacktide, this isn't directed at you, so I apologize in advance for speaking against what you are saying here, I understand and respect what you are saying about professionalism.. But back to the point of my previous post above. This is where I think drivers need to speak up and...

Sorry for hijacking the thread, I can start a new one if people would prefer, but I think its sort of related to this thread. As a noobie to the industry, I get the feeling that the biggest problem with the industry isn't the companies but its the drivers staying in lousy situations and...
