    Fuel Prices!!!!! This is terrible.

    When has anything the big three done make sense? You're forgetting where expediting comes in, Ateam...ppl screw up. Throwing it on an LTL truck and not having it picked up for a week or more is usually not an option for hot freight. So, I doubt it'll be going down because of fuel prices alone.

    Definitely better than expected

    Leo, that really sucks!!! Someone spends that much on a truck only to watch it start to fall apart. Ya think quality control means something. Good luck on getting things done quickly so you can get going. I know the bills don't stop because the truck is.

    Fuel cards

    Has anyone tried to get a fuel card from a company like Wright Express? If so, do you find it worth having? Was it easy to get?

    Fuel Prices!!!!! This is terrible.

    I like the idea of the espar, but it says it has a small draw on the batteries. I would like a generator that doesn't draw on my batteries, has air and heat, and has outlets. Does anyone know of where to get a used one? I can't afford 7,200 for a new one... though I'd get it if I had the money.

    New Hurricane headed for the US

    That's ok...everyone will just ignore Hurricane Hillary... she's nothing but a bag of wind. The eye of the hurricane has serious bags around it too.

    signing contract

    I totally agree, Mrs... I'm tired of competing with people with more skill, younger, etc. I know expediting, and after 4 years out, I decided to get back in... but as an o/o. I spent a month looking for ways to get a truck, and I found a guy looking to get rid of his. It's costing me some bucks...

    How much are fuel taxes and...

    some of that info should be on your fuel receipt... state fuel tax, road usage tax, federal tax, etc. If you want an individual breakdown on which states get what money from the fuel tax, that should be on your cab card.

    Help finding a good expedite Co. to work for

    You could try air freight. Running local with them, I doubt they care if you have a cdl or not. It's not the idea that his slate is clean in Dec 2004. They ask a question on the app : Have you ever had your license revoked or suspended. He lost his for two months. With his reason why, I doubt...

    Drive Your Foreign Car?

    Personally, I like Japanese cars, specifically Toyota and Honda. They are simply a better made vehicle than American cars. It shows in the price, and it shows in owner satisfaction. Keeping jobs in America depends on a few things... price and quality. Medical insurance for the UAW workers alone...

    Help finding a good expedite Co. to work for

    ouch... refusal of a breathalyzer is as good as a positive on one. I don't think you'll find any luck, though I wish you some.

    Wee bit high on the price...

    another truck? Check this out, Dave... 98 FL70 w/a CAT3126 engine w/ 540,000 miles. Price? $24,900. 00 FL70 CAT3126 engine w/ 377,000 miles. Price is $37,900. 01 FL80 Cummins ISC w/350,000 miles. Price is $47,900. A little more reasonable comparible to the others, but still too high in my eyes...

    what companies hire non haz-mat cdl b drivers

    I know that Express-1 doesn't run hazmat. Most, if not all other companies do. If you find one, give em a call and ask if they have any owner operators who are in need of drivers... they'll point you in the right direction. I just noticed you're from Michigan. Express-1 is in Western Michigan.

    Drive Your Foreign Car?

    At the same time, Lawrence, Honda and Toyota are half made in the US. The job of the guy working on their line is just as important as the guy's on the Ford line. Another thing. I know it's not right to knock a donation, but $1-million from Ford and GM is like a businessman dropping a...

    Right Stuff.. Wrong Stuff...

    Hey... the Teletubbies are ok with me. Even if Tinky-Winky is gay. My daughter watches them all the time and nothing is wrong with her... except the nightmares of drowning in tubby custard ROFL :+

    John Kerry - Another Good Read.....

    Ok Road...here's what he's done. After 911, he's gotten Afghanistan and Pakistan to be our allies. After taking out Saddam, Iraq is our ally...but wait, there's more. Not only do you get the big oil rich country in the middle of the sandy Mid-east as our ally, as a bonus you have Yemen becoming...

    CDL'S and Driving Time

    I haven't driven for 4 years. Believe me, the first night driving my truck back home was crazy, but it's like riding a bike, ya never forget. By the second day, most of that weird feeling was gone, and I was back to the good ol driver I was. Have your hubby take you to a huge parking lot and...
