    I65 Gary to Indy, terrible roads in exchange for cheap fuel?!

    Saw TT drivers changing lanes yesterday just to avoid the bumps potholes in the road... (they seem to know exactly where they are) seems unsafe, does Indiana have any plans to fix the roads or is it a Louisiana kinda state? One thing I do like and have notice Indiana is the place to top off.

    What's Laredo like?

    Is it like some big pow wow where a bunch of expediters are sitting around a campfire talking about all the stories on the road as they hang out and wait for loads? :) Where do most of the loads go that come out of Laredo? Seems like trucks are moving out of there today.

    Where can you find good drivers to drive your Sprinter when you get sick of driving?

    Would be nice if I didn't have to pay Qualcomm fees and be able to take month off without getting hit for $300 of fees from my carrier! Instead of taking the loss why not get someone else to drive the van to keep the wheels spinning. My truck is at 186k and I think it's gunna be a 500+k rig...

    When a truck/driver sits/takes a break for 4 weeks why does Qualcomm have to Collect?

    QC fees really stack for someone who wants to take off a month or two. I really like to run hard but when I need a break from the expedite lifestyle the fees keep stacking... I'm not a running a strait truck for fedex at 2.12 a miles so I don't have a wads of cash to throw away. When...

    What is more comfortable after driving 700 miles a straight truck or sprinter?

    I have a class b cdl but have never driven a straight truck that many miles. Seems they have much better suspensions and you guys running straight trucks feel the road less. If you look under a t700 kw you see a gap of air like a few inches. I wish my sprinter was more comfortable but I...
