    FedEx Custom Critical vs Panther Expedited

    Wow someone else wants to enter this business. Every single time ( seems to me) that 'normal'business and i say that loosely takes a hit, people see the free wheeling, happy go lucky truck drivers driving down that lonesome, pot hole road that is filled with crazy 4 wheelers and say to...

    IF We are all IDIOTS

    That particular professor, no not an actual friend of mine per se. However, it echos my feelings, and the person who sent me the email said I could spread it near and far in the hopes that it will awaken the dormat American Spirit that needs to address this very real threat to the United...

    Favorite Places to Eat

    Canjun Charlie's in Sulpher Springs, I think LA hope it's still there. There's truck parking across the street, and an absolute to die for Canjun smorgasboard, you can order off the menu, or partake of the tables groaning under the weight of the food. YUM,YUM If you always wanted to try canjun...

    Vans park with the big trucks at the FJ

    So now you people are asked to park out back, fine, fine. Lately it seems that the truckstops are only interested in their bottom line I can give them that, however truckstops were they not dreamt up to provide truckers a safe, secure place to park? The Flying J is getting tough, but, IMHO if...

    Caterpillar claims C9 unsuitable to task

    Hey LDB, What's the rear end gear ratio in the truck? If it's the wrong ratio, your engine could have been at max rpm all these months, redline, and burn your engine right up. Then that would be the dealer's fault. Because CAT made alot of engines and they all ( knock on wood) didn't fail.

    Carrier Awards/Rewards

    The closer the 2010 program gets, the more sense it makes to reward the drivers out here who run a clean business. The ones who arrive , load, and deliver the product safely and regularly are the ones who are in this business are the ones to retain. You could have a reward program set up so...

    This Is Scary

    Truckstops and cleanliness

    Wow I never realized how many foodies there are on here! I too, am a professionally trained foodie. It goes without saying that cleanliness is next to ...... uhm the pigpen. There will always be piggies at the trough, and sterilized types in the walk-in. There are germs in every single thing...

    Michigan horse racing

    You know people don't be so quick to blame the tracks... yea, their crooked but so also are the owners of mares and the stud owners/breeding facilities. Having shovelled more sh+t than most here,and being involved in the management of a 300+ horse breeding facility it's not always the tracks...

    Buying tires

    Anyone contemplating new tires for their commercial vehicle sometime this year may want to purchase sooner rather than later. Can't locate the article right now but the article mentioned that commercial tires would be increasing in price by 8% on May 1, 2010.

    Pigs and buffets

    You know buffets are just breeding grounds for whatever doesn't ail you right now, will within 8 hours. But, eating off the menu carries it's own risks too. In fact all food even the stuff you buy in the store is risky.. toss the dice, sit back take a deep breath, hold yer breath, and plunge...

    WOW I missed another :-( Couldn't there be a site for trashy posts, so that we all could see what was so offensive? I know everyone has an opinion and I would have enjoyed reading another one
