Do all companies only pay 50% for the 2nd half of a round trip? This may be news to some and old hat to others but just in case You aren't familiar with this you may need to read page 62 of the 2006 PII driver manual. (I shared this w/drivers who had been around longer than us and they weren't...

Is anyone paying attention???? I heard today on one of the trucking channels on XM that they haven't heard yet if the MEXICAN TRUCKS are going to participate in the upcoming 72 HOUR NATIONWIDE DOT TRUCK CHECK in June. What????? I don't think I want to participate either, how about you? I don't...

i heard from a tri-state team that tri-state has lowered the rate per mile for loads under 5,000 lbs to $1.10. another team said they didn't know anything about it. just wondering if it's true and how that might affect other expediting companies.

Gold's gym will let you have a one day pass for usually around $10. about the price of a shower, and you can do that there also. i believe if you have a gold's gym membership that you can use it at any of their locations. there is a gold's gym on I-85 exit 40 (us 34 west) about 3 blocks on...

same carrier as you

We were told recently by a dispatcher that they were no longer giving a first out as a reward for taking a load because it wasn't fair to the drivers who had been sitting for days waiting for a load and then someone comes in with a 1st out. guess, it just depends on who the dispatcher...

Hey, if any Panther trucks are in the los angeles area today, 2-12-07 please send a private message to me. I have information that might help you find a load.

"It is the resposibility of the driver to do the job and know the job. we do the job and know the job and still have to wait for hours, as do many other drivers i've spoken with, for the ACE load to clear. that specific problem isn't with dispatch, it is with the ACE system. I find dispatchers...

Priceville Alabama, I-65 exit 334 there's a great BBQ place across from the pilot and next to that is a good Catfish restaurant. Hesperia, Ca, I-15 exit 141 great restaurant at the Pilot. while you're there p/u a jar of pepperocini's or olives they sell..spicy and good, if you like that sort...

what just kills me is when you've waited at the shipper way past your p/u time but your delivery time isn't changed in hopes that you can still make original delivery...it would be nice if they'd send an ammended ETA so you're not stressing and dispatch doesn't send those showing delay msg. we...

besides getloaded, what other load boards can i use to find backhauls? also, any suggestions on this situation. we delivered in san diego monday morning, we are 1st out here. los angeles had 7 trucks w/2 enroute on tues. morning so if we d.h. there we're more than likely going to be behind at...

bryan i've been told that P2 was going to have dispatchers that were trained specifically for Canadian issues, but that has been awhile back. as far as i know that hasn't happened yet. i'm with you, i wish there were some specially trained to be able to help us when we have a question. i get...

maybe it could be done, maybe not. depends on quite a few "what if's" like what if i'm delayed at the shipper, what if i'm delayed in traffic. etc, etc. i just wouldn't want to keep getting the message...."you're showing a delay...please advise"!!!!

teflon...with a name like that you should be able to slide right through the border...too bad it's not that easy. we haven't had to take the ferry across. is that for all hazmat loads in or out or just certain types of hazmat...i've asked but you know how it is getting a straight answer? we...

i had to laugh when i read this one. every relationship is different. what works for one couple may not work for another. if they're doing well then don't worry about how they choose to take care of business. maybe one is better keeping books and the other knows more about truck maintenance...

"sounds like a personal matter"...what's that suppose to mean anyway. i fully understand how irritating crossing the border can be and now with ACE coming out is even more so. we are running into more and more teams who will take a load in but DH out just to avoid the hassle. the previous...

i'm wondering what formula people use to figure their bottom dollar they'll take per load. we don't own our truck so there's no payment that we have to worry about but we do pay fuel and tolls. we get 60/40 split of $1.35/mile. so how do some of you figure your bottom dollar when accepting a...

Has anyone else had the pleasure of doing an ACE load yet? this is our second. thought the kinks would be worked out by now but i guess they aren't. we've been loaded since 4:45 this afternoon and are still waiting for dispatch to give us the okay to leave (paperwork hasn't cleared yet and...
