Personally, I'm surprised this scumbag wasn't sacked!!! I think you'll probably make it... just do exactly the opposite of what he's done. ;)

I can find a 34', though I'll probably hafta change the suspension. Do you know how much it would cost to shorten a 48? Seems like quite a bit.

NoProblem... I see at least 3 things wrong. First, you tell everyone you deadheaded 250 miles for a 100 mile run. That was your call, and you should've always known it was yours to eat. You were told in orientation to get out of Missouri towards the freight zone. Second is that a run like that...

Sarkus...very simple about that 155 mile run... don't take it. Tell them you need something with more miles and less dh. Or, better yet, ask them to pay your dh miles as loaded since no one else will take it. If you're running for Express-1, their dispatchers usually have some room to negotiate...

not bad for a first week... keep on learnin n earnin :D btw... you got my damn truck ;)

NoProblem, I know which company your ran with from your post, and I can say things don't sound right. The way you explain it, did the company ASK you to go 293 miles to Indy, or did you go most of that deadhead on your own? I know that chances are, they have more than one truck in Indy... and no...

Leo, how much does get loaded.com cost? They won't tell you on their site unless you start to sign up. How often do you use it? Does Express-1 get mad if you do? I see your point in using it though... as there are times you're stranded way outta the zone and no NLM can be found. If we had some...

RE: Are there any cpmpanies that dont require hasm There was a post on this subject about a month ago. The guy who posted it is now my co-driver, and we're with Express-1. They don't do hazmat at all, and it feels good not having to worry about it. Seems those placards are weirdo magnets :P

DJ...that is fine! I was just telling my wife about my idea for a hotshot hooked up to a pup when I scrolled down to your last post. Can a hotshot be fixed to carry a regular fifth wheel? That would be a seriously awesome idea since there are no length violations, and you'd live like trucking...

DJ...I'm working on the carrier now. I'll have pics up when it's finally made. Leo, I'm in an FL-106 right now, and that thing bounces like crazy in pothole ridden truckstops. But if you think yours is bad, try an FL70 or 80. They don't call em Freightshakers for nothin. It was hard sleeping...

Called KY Trailer, and they said I'm looking at around 30k. JEEZ!!! For a simple pup??? I'm not asking for a bulletproof survellance vehicle! Glen, I tried Blackburn's and their number was disconnected. Hope your friend is still doing ok with his business. Thanx for the responses so far... I'll...

If she had a real attitude with you, your truck woulda been torn apart... like mine, twice in one trip. The way I look at it is that 1/6 of my company's freight is Canadian related. I won't give up that much for a little loss of dignity, especially when I know most of the time it's a great...

Well, my Super D is coming close to being reality. Now all I need is a pup trailer. I've done alot of searching, but could only find a couple that are to proper specs. If anyone can give me info on where else to search, I'd appreciate it. I need air ride, e-track, 28-36', and not more than 10...

RE: Has a Dispatcher ever said anything rude to yo TBoldt, I hope they paid all the doctor's bills...and on top of that, I woulda sued them for wrongful termination and possible willing neglegence for knowingly putting you in the situation that led to your injuries worsening. I could see...

Inauguration Day? Makes you wonder if this woulda been planned if Kerry got in. Probably not, as he woulda promised a new energy source from burning rocks. Oh...wait a min. We have that! It's called COAL! :7

I'm interested in alternative energy sources, but first and foremost, I'm a businessman who's worried about my bottom line... fuel costs. When everyone knows the government is sold out to big business, whether it be big oil or big auto, why not pressure the car manufacturers? I'm sure if ppl...

In the last post, I meant to say OFF DUTY, not ODND. I'm a putz :P

Huhuh huhhuhuh...Hey Beavis...he said poop. ;)

Absolutely agree with you on the war stories. It seems that the ppl who are the biggest experts on everything there can't seem to follow directions either. One other thing... I've met two former OTR drivers who switched to expediting. One quit after spending 10 hours in NC, and the other...

DJ, I brought up the idea with the ppl at Express-1, and they have no probs. I doubt anyone would as anyway you look at it, it would be a money maker. If you're looking for a truck, check out www.truckpaper.com There are tons of trucks there, and you could find something dirt cheap in any name...
