Do all McDs have it? I'm wondering about the ones out in Podunkville. If so, it's worth the $20 as there are more of them than there are Flying Js.

Like I mentioned in another post, I was told by a Panther driver that you only had to take one load per quarter to Canada to be able to keep your rate. Unless you can't go for criminal reasons or therebouts, I'd say it would be worth it to suck it up for four trips a year across the border.

The problem with this idea, or the idea of the Argosy/30', and signing them on to a regular company is that the dispatchers wouldn't use it to its full potential. As much as I like C&M, a 30' box wouldn't work there; and they admitted as much. Dispatchers, in general, don't have time to chase a...

Cheri, that was a great question! Now I know McD's has wifi :7

I had ICQ way back when, when I was looking for a dame. Since I found one, I got rid of it. Nice to have the puter quiet when I come on here to bother everyone ;)

I can understand the tool thing... but DISCO TAPES??? In alphabetical order, nonetheless? I hope it's not under titles, as 75% of his collection would be under D for disco, or B for boogey. ROFLMAO

Yep... conserve fuel. When you need to go somewhere, only go half way... then get out and push! Seriously tho, we don't go somewhere unless we need to. Now, everything is based on how long it takes to get there, and do we really need it. Supply and demand doesn't usually work if you're the...

Now that I'm solo again, I've found a few different things that get me thru the night. A small nap usually refreshes me. A stop on an entrance ramp for a stretch(because the rest areas are always clogged). The radio helps immensely. And, being that I smoke, I end up smoking more. I'm surprised...

This has been discussed before, and I'm glad it was brought up again. I was THAT close to doing it myself. Had the tractor, and was searching for a trailer. I'm sure there are tons of drivers, like me, who hate 53'ers, but wouldn't mind something more reasonable, like a pup. It's a shame all...

Acceptable practice? No. That's part of why I'm not there. But in a company where you get moved to the bottom for turning one down, it's the way of the world. Reading thru again, I see your point about the truck directly behind you on the board. Perhaps it was taken off their loadboard, but...

McBride... could it be that a truck between you and Amos on the board took the SK load? And that's why you were offered, but Amos wasn't? Personally, instead of falling 8 or 10 spots because of the Witchita load, I would've taken it. If I knew for certain other trucks there weren't loaded, I...

I read in the last Land Line that they were rationing the new fuel out west. Denver had to ship some of their fuel further east cause of a shortage. That's just like the feds. Make us conform, then be completely ill-prepared for their own timeline.

I think they give a reasonable explanation. When you look at most urban highways, you don't even get 4' before you meet a concrete wall. So, if an emergency presents itself, I'd rather hit a wire with breakaway posts. I've been thru a couple of incidents where wires would've helped enormously...

I agree with TJ's methods. If I'm home, it had better be a run worth taking me out of the area. Being that I'm in the Detroit area, I've gotten some good loads. Sometimes, they came after turning down loads I would have otherwise taken, if I were already on the road.

There's a thread called Expediter Services about half way down this same page, and only started a couple days ago.
