YEAH BABYYYYYYY!!! Broom... I won't rub anything in till they beat the Panthers in the playoffs. Then I'll get one of MY bar buddies to call you up and talk trash!!! Better yet, my sis will call. She lives in Carolina and HATES the Panthers! :7

NASCAR - Is that a sport? Only if they drink a 6pack beforehand. Football - Lions... um... I don't think so. Hockey - Maple Leafs Baseball - Blue Jays Basketball - Pistons Poker - Phil Ivey (If NASCAR is a sport, poker is) College ball - they're fodder for the pros ;) (tho I'm partial to Mich State)

Must be a company thing, cause I don't mark when I do the post trip. Just sign the little inspection thingy. I was told all we're required to mark is a pretrip, either 15 mins or flagged. DOT hasn't told me otherwise.

Bad thing about that one, it'll probably bring .25/mi. If you can't find anything to go with it, you still have to deliver it. That doesn't even pay fuel.

They did break bread, but I'm curious to see if ravioli can fly! WAHOOOO!!!:7 :7 :7

Since you asked... I told contractor relations about it, but don't think anything was done. I was in Nashville, #1, and was chatting with another driver who ended up getting a call for a load. Then another call cancelling the load. Then another load. Granted, we were both trying to get home, but...

I agree. They sometimes count on ignorance to get you to go to the boonies. I don't know about Denver, as far as Panther goes. Witchita seems just as far as Lincoln, NE for dh, and you'd be closer to the zone. Otherwise, you could head to Portland and start praying. Good luck!

Scootr... I like your posts, and am glad you're on here answering questions related to Panther. However, to say there's no favoritism at your company is like saying there's no government corruption. I won't go into details unless you want me to. And, I'm not saying it's rampant, but it is...

Broompilot, RichM, and Phil Madsen.

Me thinks Franklin and Hillary would get into a food fight ;)

That's only one show. After his show, the next one had a guest talking about OOIDA's suit to get sitting in the passenger seat to be considered off duty, among other things related to HOS. Very informative, IMO. I enjoyed Dave Nemo and Bozo when I listened to him, but the constant trucker...

A former fleet owner I ran for once told me THREE trucks is stable, TWO trucks is suicide. One truck can not take care of two if one goes down. Two trucks can take care of three. If you're in one now, save up and get two more at once, if you're insisting on expanding.

Anyone listen to it? I turned it on last night, just for a change, and glad I did. Totally different from XM. On XM you have a bunch of truckers call in, half of whom could have "Dead Air" as their handle. Sirius, on the other hand, has good dialog and interviews with ppl who have a wealth of...

I agree. Better to chalk it up to experience, and not take it personal. He could've pulled you over cause he's a pig. More than likely because you have a straight truck, and they're easier to inspect. Use what you've learned for the next time you're pulled in, cause you will be pulled in again...

Star, he can still give you a ticket, but he has to allow you time to catch up, IF you have yesterday's log completed.

I've gone thru the same thing. Actually, still going thru it, in court. I wouldn't totally dismiss the idea again, but if I did do it again, the contract would be solid! I've lost a buttload of money doing this without an iron-clad legal document. If you are taking over payments, demand a copy...

Lisa... I'm assuming you're teaming with your husband when this happened. Question: Did he shut the truck down for ten hours? Question 2: Were your logs complete for the day prior? If so, he was supposed to give you time to complete the log for the CURRENT day, thus you would've not been...

I heard part of an interview with him last night. He's very well educated. African immigrants usually take every advantage given to them to learn and improve themselves. Mutumbo is no exception. Tho I don't know what good it will do building a state of the art hospital if his old country is...

I regret to bring up the fact that we've been hoping for the past three years that prices would fall again. I remember the temporary relief we all felt when fuel fell back below $2, only to rebound up to $2.25. I don't know what it could possibly go to before everything goes haywire, but I have...

I'm glad that someone is using a bit of wisdom and research to determine that this field isn't right for them. Looking at the classifieds, there's a new Sterling for sale by someone who decided it's not right for them after only a month. I hate to see despair like that after such an investment...
