    Car Rental

    There isn't any companies local that do one way that I know of, I called a bunch myself at one point. Best bet - call a cab to get a ride to the airport and pick one up there, it's like $30-40.

    Random Thoughts

    I haven't posted in long time so I thought I would just throw something together. Well my lawsuit is going well, Monday I get the court to force the other party to hurry up responding to requests from my lawyer and the court - If they don't respond to that, they pretty much lost all of their...

    401 crash

    Well give me the choice between the 401 and a freeway in LA, GA or TX and I'll take the 401 any day. They might move a tad faster but trucks staying left lane, 4 wheelers in the right, very nice roads and little traffic most of the times, its heaven to me.

    Dump trucks

    I was once told that some get paid by the weight and per trip - hence why you see trucks with 10 axles 25-30 tons/load will pay very good. In MI they run 100k lb "Gravel Trains".

    how upset would you get and what would you do

    Off topic somewhat BUT Comdata does has some advantages - W/ P2 and Fed Ex you get 45% of load pay at delivery on your comdata free of charge. Okay, you use that to pay for fuel and you'll get cash price PLUS the carriers discount, sometimes .05 to .20 off/gallon. Now Comdata charges...

    6 weeks in and deeply disillusioned

    Well by what you said it sounds like you went with Fedex CC. Well I drove for P2 for 6 months and I grossed at a team around $60-70k and fuel was $20k so not too bad. With 2 trucks you should be doing $300k to 400k/year. Being that it's been only 6 weeks you haven't had enough time to learn the...

    Panther A-Go-Go

    Windows Vista

    Vista is going to be worse than Windows ME. Hollywood came a knocking and Microsoft bowed down. You won't be able to play downloaded/copied music without providing proof that it's yours, if you play DRM'ed music you need to disable your audio output jack on your computer. Want to play a...

    Panther A-Go-Go

    Well there is a small bar in Medina called Jo-Jo's, it's behind the bowling alley. Thursday night is .10 wings, very very tasty. They also have some good booze... I've been carried out of that place a few times. There is a steak/rib place up by Walmart that has all you can eat rib/chicken on...

    Hours Of Service & driver retention dilemmas

    Ah creative logging. I've only been doing this for a year but have learned many many tricks. The electronic logging will change things but as said, one will log in and the other will drive. My team driver could do 8 at most so I would finish his 10 plus do my 10, so my day around 13-14 hours but...

    What truck size is best

    Well a 40' straight truck with a 33k GVWR will only get you around 12,000lbs of capacity once you get a sleeper, fuel, etc on. A 26k lb truck? maybe 5-6k. Now, adding another axel will only get you 46k GVWR due to bridge laws. Then your looking at may be 20-21k due to now you have to extra axle...

    Where did it go?

    I've seen like 4-5 post lately that have been deleted or something. What's going on? Are we now going to have are post deleted if it's something the mod's don't agree with? I hate censorship, what I hate more it forums with rules so ##### stupid - I.e. don't post this or that, don't talk about...

    is its slow for everyone right now?

    Why does everyone hate Canada!!!! As long as your paperwork is in order, you will not have an issue. I like driving there better than here, better roads, drivers that know how to drive, higher speed limts, some good food in Toronto, etc. I see no downside to going there except that you might be...

    Panther Policy toward Pets and Passengers

    I've been across the border tons of times with my hound, sometimes with him on my lap. Never have been asked for papers, going in or going out. Though I carry record from the vet with his picture on it.

    Panther Policy toward Pets and Passengers

    I never had an issue with my hound dog. Some places just don't want them out of the truck. Some places love them and let you bring them as you unload. You can even have them running elite services BUT some bases you goto will not allow them on base so you need to be team so you and ur dog can be...

    GIVE UP

    Help us out instead of bashing are responses! Give us a time line of what happened! So you signed up with X owner, who offered you X truck at X rate to drive with X carrier. At X point X happened. At some point X owner didn't pay X amount for driving X truck for X carrier. You then took X truck...

    Chuck, Search under my name, read my story. On the same line the same thing happened to me but I handled it the right way and currently my case in court for around $120k+. We don't know your back story, why did you choose this owner? What was the agreement made with said owner? Did you have a...
