Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna get my credit better and more savings so i can do it by myself. I just get tired of having someone taking a piece of the pie and leaving me with crumbs. But hey i guess i will appreciate it even more when i get it own my own. Thanks.

LDB, The way I see it is you shouldn't ask someone working for you to pay your expense which is fuel. When someone buys a truck they should realize that is there expense and pay it. How would you feel if the big man at panther told you you had to pay the dispatchers salary that day because...

I drive for a fleet owner. I pay wc he pays qc and fuel. I never have and never will pay for fuel. In my mind that's a rip off. I started to go to work for someone before I went to work were I'm at. They said I had to pay for fuel and that's why i'm not there. She told me I would come out better...

About the inspection. I keep all the documents the other two gentlemen stored neatly in a breif case with nothing else in it except my emergency response handbook(for hazmat) and my fmcsa guidelines book as well. The green books are handy to have in case you recieve a violation you can nicely...

Rich, The primadonnas won't be happy if they can have everything their lil hearts desire they will still find a problem.

Like I said I'm in expedite and I'm not home every weekend. There is no way I could be home every weekend. One reason is because I'm not always close enough to go home, and since i'm a solo I get my "good" runs on the weekends. There have been a few times where I left on monday and it just so...

I have a question. Why can't someone be a professional truck driver and go home on weekends? I don't but my brother does. He drives for a very well known flatbed company. He's been there 6 years been driving for 10. No accidents no tickets no nothing. He's a real pro. He goes home every weekend...

It seems to me the auto industry is not a good one to bank on. Nuff Said

Does anyone know of any honest fleet owners who might would help an honest, hard working young man get a truck? I'm looking at a truck at ellenbaum it's an international 2000 they only want 23,900 for it. The last credit person I talked to said I have good credit but my score is low because I...

Thank You UAW.

I saw a deal on some tires in the TA in florence,ky a couple of days ago. 8 drives for 1,650. I don't remeber the name or the dtails.

Well let's see here. I went to truck driving school in cali. The Marine Corps paid for that through the active duty tution assit. program. After I was honorably discharged I went to work for Prime. I had to ride with a trainer for six weeks. The first 2 weeks I got paid 350. The second 2 weeks I...

I am gonna try to be home for my wifes birthday and christmas, but other than that if i make it i make it, if i don't i don't.

Yeah for reals. You it would be nothing to be double loaded makin big buck especially if you had a tandem as well.

I think that's what most people want x. A winnebago with a lil box to haul a couple skids.

RE: last stages of starting up what more do I need Hot shot is basicly ltl. Some folks consider expedite to be hot shot. It usually isn't as time sensitive as expedite though. If you have a truck pro store near you they might can offer you some advice of the chains/straps and most likely have...

my bad my sleeper was the same width but about three feet taller.

I drove a business class freightliner with a sleeper like that on it. I had to stand on the bed bent oner just above the waist in this weird yoga position to put on my pant, or put them on while laying down. It had a shelf on each end of the bed. My frig was in the passenger seat. To make things...

One thing I've noticed about the buffet is poeple tend to eat more than what they are actually hungrey for in a quest to get their money's worth. That is the main reason I stay off the buffet. Plus fried chicken gets a little old. You know its bad when a guy from arkansas says eating fried...

Thanks for the info. I'm not real excited about making the swap but I don't have a whole lot of say in it. I just need to be happy I have an wner who is honest and looks out for me and not just himself. I think I would feel a little better if the would have been more response. Thanks.
