    State-of-the-Art Truck Stop

    I could tell you about 40 years ago when there were, let me see I think 4 showers in the country and 5 truck stops but I won't go there. $13 for a shower not bad when you buy fuel and get it for free but even if you have to pay for it, if it's to much shower less, no one will notice but the dog.

    State-of-the-Art Truck Stop

    Haven't seen the new one but they will need a 9 foot electrified fence and armed guards for the parking lot in that area. They are doing a good job with the remodeled sites with the showers and the food. The parking area in all truck stops is where most of the problems are and yes the drivers...

    Attention newbies!!

    Aquitted, over the last 15 years expedited has been up and down. It goes in cycles. This year is bad so far but but it will turn around just like it has in the past. Hold on cause maybe next year you'll probably be screaming for time off. I don't really remember the time frame of the last...

    Westmicher's New XLT 10 Project Begins!

    Looks great and I to like the oversize tail lights. I made my concerns earlier about the reinforcing at the top above the door. With the majority of the weight being behind the rear wheels the weight and the flex of the box when pulling into driveways etc will cause the corners to crack. The...

    Oops, forgot about that $80 Million dollars

    And this surprises you? The only thing that would surprise me would be the Democrats throwing him out of office or better yet hanging him in the Rose Garden.

    Which companies will hire Sprinter owner operators with criminal records?

    Well even if they ask about 10yrs yours is 20yrs. If you haven't had any trouble since and it's not a capital crime than forget about it. One way to know for sure is to do a back ground check on yourself. Another way is go to your local sheriffs office and get a background check and pay for...

    Which companies will hire Sprinter owner operators with criminal records?

    Company's only go back 10 yrs for criminal history. I wouldn't even mention it. If you have a clean driving record and a 4 year history with one company I would think anyone would hire you. If a company requires a security check than you might have a problem.

    Tires and Odometer Variance

    I don't currently run Scan Gauge but wondered if it would be more accurate or if its pulling from existing on board figures. As for tail wind and figuring it into the figures, perhaps if I could get OVM to stay behind me for a long run I'll get statistically better figures. Ha! Thanks for...

    Landstar info please

    Back in 01-02 when I ran for LEA I did about everything A-Team did. It is about marketing. I had made up calender cards with a picture of me and my truck, sent them to every agent at the time, anyway the list goes on. I never bought a thing for any of them. The big thing about LEA is when...

    Tires and Odometer Variance

    This might help. Using Performance Monitor : Linear Logic : Home of the ScanGauge If your running the size tire that the vehicle calls for there should be no variance. Scan guages measure throught the loop or electronically. This might also help...

    Good deal on an AR kit

    If you have a straight it might work. There is a store next door with the two parking lots connected. If you go between 10-12 noon the traffic is usually light unless it's Saturday. Saturday is gun day in our area. Just joking, more people off work you know.

    Good deal on an AR kit

    Palmetto State is located right across the street from SLED main office in Columbia SC. If you go out Broad River Rd off of I20 for about 3-4 miles you will see SLED on your right along with the state prison and Palmetto will be on the left. They supply about all the weapons for local and...

    cargovan class 2014 would you go?

    2014 maybe if the economy has caught up, but this year since Jenny taking a break I think we need to give the c/van recruiting a break. With unemployment high throughout the country it's just to easy to get into expediting with c/vans and it reflects on the rates as well as service.

    Does the DOT target truckers?

    That's true and as far as Hazmat I hauled Anhydrous Ammonia for more than 20yrs and was pulled more than usual, but then again I was only messed with one time. A rookie DOT guy pulled me to the side and said it smelled like Ammonia. It took an hour to convince him it wasn't leaking it just...

    Does the DOT target truckers?

    Seems like it takes me a couple of times to get a response through. Anyway back to targeting. Back in 02 or there abouts a scale man told me even though I have pre pass they would more than not pull me because our company carried hazardous. He also said if the company has a bad safety record...
