    TriState & Caterpillar

    I have only been at this for about 18 months, and that has not been a steady 18 months. That being said I fail to understand why a Solo or Team would stay with any Carrier if they felt the Carrier was not doing everything in their power to get loads. Common sense Say's if the Carrier's trucks...

    Driving a straight rig w/o a cdL?

    I believe CDL regulations are Federal. If you go to any State Motor Vehicle office and ask for a CDL Booklet. The first page says "There is a Federal requirement that each State have minimum standards for the licensing of Commercial drivers" It goes on to say "You may have to contact your State...

    Odd ST configuration

    It sounds like, although on a much larger scale, what GM offered on their Pickup's a few years ago. Where the rear wheels had some ability to turn, for tighter corners.

    Thanks, I don't believe it was a Duet. More on the lines of a Ray Stevens type song or Del Reeves "Watching the Belles of Southern Bell go by"

    Senior Drivers or Country music Aficionados

    Back in December of 1976 & January 1977 I was laboring in Fargo North Dakota. While listening to Del Reeves warbling "I'm looking at the world through a windshield" this morning, I recalled a song I had heard while working that winter. I don't know the Artist. The songs title "I'm going back to...

    Read Your Contract!

    I wouldn't care to hazard a GUESS on the Company in Seville Ohio. Also I would not suggest to anyone who has left the Company to start spending any monies you thought you had coming.

    advice sought on expediting

    I'm sure if you hang on awhile waiting for the Economy to return, you will be fine. At Orientation @Panther in August 2007, the class was told. "Our Top van solo O\O earned over $70,000 last year." "Our top Fleet owners are a pair of women from central Ohio, they are making so much, we have been...

    Two Questions (Could be controversial)

    Waaahhhhh! I'm not getting enough 1000 miles loads. I think I will find a "Ambulance chaser" to Sue the Company I'm leased to. Maybe we can settle on a Draw of future miles. 500,000 miles @ $.95 with $.45 per mile for all DH for a start . Would be okay with me.

    Everybody getting paid?

    "Dead Horse" if you can blame E.O. for a Company that advertises on E.O. for the problems between yourself & what ever Company it is, by that rational anyone who tries to sell a vechile on E.O. would have E.O. guarantee it's condition. There is no way in the world E.O. is responsible for the...

    When it rain it pours

    Depending on how long " Truckersberg" has had his CDL he may not have needed to know how to read or write English. My CDL was "Grandfathered" in, in 1969. In 1990-1991 I lived & worked on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Turned in my Ct. licence for a Maryland licence. When I moved back to Ct. I...

    Everybody getting paid?

    Five persons or couples each being beat out of $6,000.00 or more. I would expect your State Attorney General would look into a claim of $30,000.00 or more.

    Hello I am wondering which company to put a truck on with?

    You can remind anyone you please about Chrysler & GM, if they hadn't given the store to the Unions 30 plus years ago they might not be on the balls of their Butts.

    Hello I am wondering which company to put a truck on with?

    It has been my experience in life that someone who is still in the same profession after 24 years probably has a good idea of how to run their business.

    Everybody getting paid?

    It would seem to me as an O/O or driver for a Fleet owner. Before someone would put out their time, money, and Rig, just because the prospective employer\Carrier said "Trust Me", we will pay you when we get paid. If I'm driving for someone I expect them to have the Capital on hand to pay me as...
