I'm certainly not qualified to call anyone "Stupid" BUT at the end of week one with no pay, there would be no week two. :rolleyes:

Thank you to both of you. Helpful advise.;)

I'm posting this here because I feel there may be others new? to the business who are also wondering. My question is, since there are members on this site driving solo for an owner, why would they drive for a percentage if they are not making a living?. In which case why couldn't a solo in their...

Look in your States DMV CDL booklet. It will have everything you need to know. I believe it's anything over ten thousand & one lbs.

In the later years of my life I have become "Thrifty". $10,000.00 for a bunk, and maybe a ice box is a bit excessive for my tastes.;)

I would guess, the size of the payment would have a lot to do with it.:rolleyes:

Thank you. I thought it was probably alignment related, but thought it would be tough on the driver. I would think the vibration in a class 8 would be considerable.:rolleyes:

Earlier in the week I was at a truck stop when a Peterbilt long nose pulling a Flat bed parked. Later when he came out it wouldn't start. I went over and asked if I could help. He said no it will start when it cools off. Now. While standing there I noticed the left front steer tire had...

USN 4\17\58 to 7\17\61 MM3, three years on carrier CVA 15. U.S. Merchant Marines, Fireman, Water tender, Oilier, Wiper, Ordinary Seaman. November 1966 to March 1977 WW 2 era Freighter. It was all good, some days gooder then others.:D

Look under "Search" cdl training. You can get a CDL booklet from any Motor Vehicle office. Read it over & over. Rent a Ryder\Hertz straight truck with air brakes and practice in an open lot some where.

I was wrong to curse at him, I did not curse him personally. He was a different shift. Just happened to be the one on duty when I found out.:p As for the second part of your question. Yes

Actually, I got fired for cursing at Dispatch. Dead headed home yesterday. 847 miles:D

Speaking of Dispatchers. On Wednesday afternoon I was offered a low paying run. I took it to get to what I hoped would be a better freight area. I was told it's a 12:30 AM delivery. Fine. It turns out the Company was closing at 11:00 PM because the next day was Veterans day. My Company new it...

Why not buy a truck with out mortgaging your house (unless your prepared to lose it) then lease it out to your friend at Panther. Sit back and watch the money roll in?;)

So page after page in Load ones thread discussing someones Shorts are professional? :rolleyes:

Mr Elliot has at least 28 posts in the first 15 pages of the Load One thread. What's the difference between him and the U tube teenager? Each promoting their Co.:rolleyes:

Who's looking for sympathy? If you have no intention of honoring a contract don't sign it. These Forums have just as much B.S. as they do horror stories.

Park Avenue Expediting, nice looking Mules.;)

Unions had a place in our society and they abused it to their own destruction. The main reason work has gone over seas is because Unions demanded such an enormous compensation in pay & benefits the Companies could not sell their product & still make a profit. The average Union person in the 60's...

A couple of things, #1 I don't drive a GM product so don't pay special attention to them. A few months ago the St Louis Post Dispatch had a article about Chevrolet \ GMC vans which are manufactured in St Louis. A unannounced recall, but I didn't pay attention to what. #2 when your mechanic drops...
