The Eaton 6 speed has been a workhorse transmission in the expediting industry for a long time now. If you don't abuse it, all you should have to worry about is an occasional clutch adjustment. Do NOT be afraid. The Spicer 7 speed is the tranny to fear. I have never heard anything good about...

Common sense is not a prerequisite for those employed in the plant security vocation. I'm sure glad you remembered your straight truck trailer number or you could have been there all day.

For me it would be a close tie between a week in the emerald city (Seattle) or an extra-long weekend in the Poconos. Seattle for the culture and feel, and the Poconos just fot the chillin' out factor.

RE: Potential Drivers - What are your expectations Hounddog, Do you define "make" as what you gross or what you net?

Getting your CDL back means absolutely nothing if a company cannot (or will not) hire you. You are looking at 5 years as a minimum, and those 5 years should be squeaky clean - no tickets of ANY kind. Some companies require 10 years squeaky clean record, and some just plain won't hire anybody...

RE: looking to find a lasting relationship with sl "Skinny chicks dig creativity and celery." Owww - my stomach hurts from laughing now, and I almost peed myself. If ever there should be another trendy bumper sticker - that would be it. The celery growers of America need to jump on that...

Okay - you know that these people are going to DRIVE... it's a rest area right? What would you do if you saw them slamming a fifth of Bacardi 151 behind the wheel? You don't have to confront them - just (secretly if you wish) call the police, get a tag number, give them a description of anything...

Snipervictim - I also have a CCW permit, but was advised by the DOT that you cannot carry a firearm, concealed or not, in a commercial vehicle. The fact that you are in a commercial vehicle makes your permit to carry null and void. The fact that we engage in interstate travel also adds a can of...

KDL, the answer to your question will require some additional information. Primarily, will this truck be running as a solo or as a team truck? As a general rule, most of the major companies can keep a team rolling although some carriers will specialize more in western regions. If the truck will...

Even when you think you may be getting a great deal, the deal stops being so...
