I am often accused of being a Glenn Beck fan because of my views which I openly express. This, to me, is funny because I have honestly never seen his show. I am aware only that he is some guy on Fox news. I randomly happened across his radio show on an AM station a few days ago as I was...

Are those things in the contract? Can you show me a single instance of independent contractors receiving anything beyond their commission? I'm not aware of a single one. How did steady Eddie's contract percentage reduced? Is his contract the kind that expires each year? Not trying to sound...

Dropped Durango on Monday and spent a day visiting an old friend there. Picked up in Lakewood CO on Tuesday evening and dropping in Aberdeen OH in about 10 hours... unless they open earlier. I will be on their doorstep at 3am. Then I think I shall DH home for the weekend.... starting to miss my...

I've got a Walmart first aid kit that I added some things to. And I do actually keep it next to one of my two fire extinguishers. Also got my hard hat, safety glasses and safety vest in there. Antibacterial wipes are a good item to have... a rain coat... saw horses.... miter box.... lathe and a...

For me it breaks down like this: 55mph - 19mpg 60mph - 17mpg 65mph - 15mpg 70mph - 13mpg Towing - 12 MPG Heavy winds - minus 1mpg for any speed. Towing stays consistent. fired at you from my Droideka

If you see a guy jump out of a Ford van and start riding a skateboard around the rest area that looks too old to be riding a skateboard... It's probably me. In boots, shorts, and a bucket hat... gets the blood flowing. :cool:

Roasted, unsalted peanuts. One at a time... chew slowly. Diet mountain dew. Diet coke. Vitamin b complex and thermogenic capsules. Eyes glued wide open. Drive 1000 miles. Sleep 4 hours. Repeat. fired at you from my Droideka

Changed My mind about posting this. No more arguing politics on a transportation forum. No point to it at all. fired at you from my Droideka

Here's a tip: take the flak with a few grains of salt... and maybe phrase your questions as a request for comparison between two things you have already read about. Like "I noticed driver A has 4 batteries in his bank and driver B runs only 2. In the interest of conserving space, would 2...

Been eyeballing a Webasto unit myself... let us know how that works out for you! fired at you from my Droideka

Do yourself a favor and have lunch at The Hat. Very good sandwiches and huge portions at good prices. If you want a really good steak, stick around till dinner time and feast at the Trabuco Oaks steak house. Well known for excellent quality beef. fired at you from my Droideka

Seriously, right? Come in breaking the cardinal rules of every online forum since before the internet existed, asking for positive feedback? Some of us here remember the one-at-a-time message boards, dial up only BBS systems where you could be automatically disconnected after 30 or 60 minutes...

Are you only taking people who live in Ohio? Still waiting for an answer to my PM from 3 days ago.... even a "no thanks" would be considered polite. fired at you from my Droideka

I went from a Peterbilt to a cargo van. I don't regret it for a minute. I know what you mean though.... when I got out of the straight truck and stepped into the Pete, I felt like I was literally living in a palace. fired at you from my Droideka

Would have to be pretty good friends to pull off a team operation in a CV... I do "team" runs solo on a regular basis.... I get $1.50 a mile plus FSC on those.... at least 2-3 times a month. I know when Panther farms out work to one of my vendors they always request a team and they pay...

I've had plenty of drivers over the years who swore by the reliability of their Hino trucks. Quite a few Fuso lovers out there too. Me, I will swear by my F650's and F750's, with Cat motors and Eaton Fullers of course. fired at you from my Droideka

Since when is San Onofre closed? I delivered there less than 6 months ago. Glad you stuck it to the man... did you get one of the T shirts they sell at the truck stops nearby? Banning's commercial enforcement officers are well known across the country for being... um.... special. fired at...
