lol this part was too cool imo.

useless post is useless but I need to vent. The sprinter I drive only holds 20 gallons. Its soo annoying having to stop every 250-350 miles. When you factor in finding a truck stop on some routes, your average stop that takes fleet one, your average drive time drops from 5 hours closer to 4...

To save the economy, Obama should ban tractor trailers and have everything shipped by cargo vans. Just think how many jobs that would create. Every tractor trailer driver would need about 5 people at least to replace him. Plus imagine all the oil related jobs created from the gas needed to...

DH 500 miles last night to come home on the companies dime.

#2 is on the market? If so, I'm interested, but plz tell me the fuel tank is the 26g one.

4th time is a charm imo

I'm not disputing that. If you measured the number of following to close behind accidents involving tractor trailers vs cargo vans, do you not agree that the t/t would have a significantly higher statistical value? The point is, we are suppose to be professional drivers. If you are...

But the real question is would you find an equal number of accidents caused by professional car drivers? Pro's should be held to a higher standard than Joe Smoe imo.

This does sound interesting, opens up some possibilities, soups, beans etc... Does it work off the standard small lighter inverter? Cooking in hotels isn't really an option, I only get them late at night to sleep. I spend most of my days between state parks, libraries and mcdonalds /...

Is consolodation a good thing if there are too many small companies competing and under cutting each other? Doesn't balling up a bunch of those companies into one and having one corporate pricing policy for that share of the market, bode well for future prices?

total noob question why?

Sitting in Piedmont, SC. Took myself off the board last night to get a sleep after running 1200 miles in the 24 hrs before that.

When I was in CDL school, they had like 5 trucks to practice backing up on and 1 truck to practice your pre trip on. Most people didn't bother to practice the pre-trip. Its probably more important than practicing backing up. They gave us a cheat sheet and I just repeated it over and over...

I'm curious, what is the advantage of a straight truck over a 53' van? Why not just buy a regular rig?

Hi there, just looking for some advice I just started driving a Sprinter for a company and I was prepared for life on the road, I freeze about 8 bottles of water, put another 4-6 cold bottles of water in the cooler. Luckily I'm a company driver and they put me up in hotels, so I can refreeze my...

Is that a bottle of wine in his pillow?

If that is the case, wouldn't he be happy keeping me on as a driver then? But I don't think he has that many that he owns himself. I obviously need to ask him what the ratio is. But I have a feeling this might be the only one and he doesn't technically own it either, it belongs to his right...

I think looking at the cost of renting a car for the day would be a good fair way of determining if you are over paying him or paying him a fair rate. I was suprised at how high the rates where when I just went to Enterprise and Hertz right now, for the day, the prices quoted on the websites...

Hi there everyone, new to the forum, so glad I found this place. I'm working for a local company that does National Expediting, hot shot service in a major hub. They have TT, straight trucks, cube vans and cargo vans. They have about 50 drivers and I'm not sure what the mix is. They are...
