Come to Ohio. CDL-C is a written test only. I took the CDL-C exam and the Hazmat exam on the same day. Once I was cleared via the background check, my Driver's License was upgraded to a CDL Class C with a Hazmat endorsement.

Many large companies have drug/alcohol rehab programs. You might contact those first. Thanks for clarifying your situation. I imagine there are many of us who have done something under the influence that we were not aware of until further down the road. I happen to be one of them.

True. Meguiar's products are on par with most others and actually less expensive than many others. Meguiar's® expertise in ESP technology has led to the development of a completely synthetic car wash concentrate that loosens and emulsifies even the toughest dirt and road grime with xtreme...

Broom, Are you telling us that some folks are not 100% honest and fair in their business practices? Surely not! I am shocked to hear of such things. All this time I believed everyone would be honest with me, if I am honest with them.

It is important to realize, we are what we choose. You can tell a lot about a person by their choices. Many complain about where they are in life at this particular time, but it may be well to remember, we are what and where we are because of choices we made in days gone by. This is why it is so...

Ditto! Don't pay cash for the van! You can buy a GM van at 0% interest, so be wise and use their money. Take yours and put it someplace where you can get a decent return. Maybe we should get bigger guns, eh Turtle? :D

Obviously, before I purchased a GPS unit I relied on all of the aforementioned tools of the trade. I still check my Road Atlas against the directions from the GPS. I also call the shipper and consignee for landmarks near their locations: water tower, fast food joint, service station, etc...

late4dinner, You actually cited a Biblical principle. For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 2 Thessalonians 3:10 No new thing under the sun. Truth is timeless.

Agreed. I had a 2006 Chevy Express 3500 Ext WB with a Duramax. Great engine! It is a Generation 4 product. Avg 18 mpg. One huge difference, I never idle any engine. If you buy a pre-owned 2006 Chevy, or newer, the Driver Information Center in the instrument cluster will give you an LED...

Ecc 1:10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. At sunrise, I find myself driving down US Highway 49 in northeast Arkansas headed toward Marmaduke. The lay of the land is flat and I can see for miles across a...

Amen and Amen!

Picked up in Walton, KY on Tuesday afternoon. The shipper couldn't seem to find the freight...Imagine that! After a lengthy delay I couldn't make it to Columbus by 5pm. Dropped off at 6:30am on Wednesday morning. Hung around for a few hours. Well, actually, I slept. Decide to deadhead...

davekc & terry, Granted, the estimated FSC is a realistic expectation that both parties can accept. The variations in the FSC that I have experienced were basically a change in delivery location while in route. Recently, I was asked to deliver 12 miles closer than originally scheduled per...

Many O/O's have asked me directly, or they have sent me an email, to offer an opinion regarding errors in billing and settlements. Situation: The O/O receives a load offer via the Q/C. The load mile rate and the FSC are posted and the O/O accepts the offer based upon the information he has...

Actually, the post implies "reality". At this particular point in time he is satistfied and that is understandable. I will always err of the side of caution, because many folks who begin a new business venture forget to factor in hidden costs. They are "hidden" because most of us did not...

Wow! Just keeping my projected expenses to a bare minimum, factoring in my costs and calculating the steady increases in fuel prices....it would take at least $1.16 per mile to cover my operational expenses and pay myself a living wage. Do you have a family and a mortgage?

If you go to Driver Opportunities and click on the link for Dynamex it takes you to CTX.

Would I have to be a team to do AA&E?
