For me, nothing other than the Panther comcard in my wallet and the Freightliner keys in my pocket.

RE: Wannabe's Merkurfan, I've looked at their junk online. Their Louisville straight truck was first on here, then on ebay (and sold for 11k) and now in their lot for 13,900. The next truck I get will be a stretch 8. Funny thing though... Kenworth in Ft Wayne and Freightcrapper in Knoxville...

good idea, Geo... I printed those off when I first started driving again. Only prob is that they don't tell the details of the truckstop. I may be mistaken, but isn't that list of better truckstops?

I've talked to TryHours at the expo last year. One thing I don't like about them is that they don't give the leasee 100% of the fuel surcharge, which is illegal from what I understand (I may be wrong in this circumstance). I have talked to a driver that they're running him quite well, though he...

If you just started in expediting, you'll find out that one truck is hard enough to deal with, let alone multiple trucks with your own authority. The websites you were given were for LTL loads, which means they don't pay squat. They're basically used for getting you back from the boonies. If you...

Almost everyone here would try to stop someone from starting with their own truck. Driving for an o/o for at least a few months is recommended. Having said that, I suggest stay away from the fl70s and 80s. They're known as Freightshakers for a reason. The fl106s are a much nicer truck, plus they...

My definition of freight zone is not far off from what's been said. It varies, but it's mostly luck. More loads come out of a certain area and while you're there you're most likely to get a run. As a single driver, I've sat all weekend in Indianapolis (unlucky), and gotten a run right away out...

No, it's not normal to do that. If your company can't get you a backhaul, you shouldn't keep going to that area. I had the same problem with East coast runs, and stopped doing them. But since changing companies, I'm learning their zones somewhat, and don't have a problem moving again as much...

RE: Hey all this made me feel good and wanted to s Best of luck to both of you! Now get out there and have fun :D

I'm not the authority on cargo vans. I drive a D unit. I do agree with Rich that Knoxville is a great place. As I drive for Panther, anywhere in TN or GA would be a good spot, along with certain places in AL and MS. But all of those are with a straight truck. Perhaps someone who's been running...

Nice year round is definitely Georgia. If you like sticky, go with NC LOL There's plenty of freight down there if you're with the right company.

Cheese... look in the classifieds here. There are plenty of ppl looking for single drivers or co-drivers. Personally, I recommend you drive WITH an owner-operator as they'll most likely know the ins and outs of the game. They'll want to run hard and will want you to learn how to think like them...

They hafta keep up with Sirius, who's price is $12.95. That's gonna piss alot of drivers off about NASCAR when they'll hafta switch companies to hear cars going around a track. I have no probs with Sirius except that the 80's channel is more like the "Prince and Madonna" channel. And they keep...

Miko... you can pull them up again. Go to user menu and hit INBOX. All your mail should be there.

I've been at Pilots where things such as fuel additives were on sale for dirt cheap, and I've been to the Flying Hook where the showers were too small to turn around in. I like the in and out of Pilot when I need a quick bite to eat, but won't fuel there. I'm leary of TA's steak since the "gray...

Wow! $500 to take your road test? I can understand the cost of the truck, but it seems you were taken to the cleaners. My former co-driver paid $100 to take his road test using my truck. It took him two times to do it, but in the end was well worth it. My nephew will be going to the same...

You're a bore, Tom. It's attitudes like that which has hurt EO and will be the downfall of the new one unless they curb the attacks. I for one won't miss that attitude, or your stories of "Fantasyland According to Tom Robertson and His Amazing Emerald Ego" :P

Tom, part of the reason I will not be posting on the new site is because of there being no regulation. And while I don't agree with all of EO's policy on this, I can't participate in a forum where flaming will be permitted. Everyone is subject to their point of view. And while that view may be...

You misunderstood my intentions Poopookitty. I was making an attempt at being humorous. I'm not a politician, and have no inclination to turn anyone to the "light side of the force"(or is it the RIGHT side?). :7 And as far as my quote, take a good look at the lefties and their politicians. That...

To find "post xxxx", do a search like you normally would (next to the post, user menu, etc.) and search for post xxxx. For example: If you were looking for 3333, you would search and put in 3333, and click archives (just in case it's an old post). Let me know if it helps. T-hawk "We need a few...
