Cheers, and best wishes for an even more prosperous New Year to everyone. I have personally found everyone on this site to be very helpful when any question has arisen. If your fantastic staff couldn't answer the questions that we all have someone on the forum has. Thanks again everyone.

ME! Wow everyone has done a lot of really interesting things. I have been married, worked at a 300+ horse breeding farm, had several business's construction/home/office cleaning companies. I am a published author. Raised 2 children to adults ( but they still want me to do stuff so are they...

http://www.yetisports.org/ Fun site for all the gamers out there.

Only once had a problem getting a load out of Laredo. This is in a cargo van. Yes, I have to agree the places to stay there sucks. There is however a motel on the west side of I-35 near exit 4 that has a 1700 checkout time for commercial drivers. Can't think of the name, sorry but you'll see...

RE: Hazmat load and a generator/aux gas tanks and First off Im not an expert... but common sense tells me a loose gas can in the cargo area in a van is an accident waiting to happen. Second off, yes, cargo vans can and do carry HazMat. I have hauled paint, compressed gas, and organic peroxide...

My other vehicle of transportation is a BROOM, deal with it!:7

Never thought of that but, it makes perfect sense. Thanks for the head's up... I'll keep my eyes open for those areas. I usually stay away from them as being too rich for my blood.

First off 15 minutes isn't even close to long enough. More rest areas, better signage, clearly marked, and well lit, too. If the States aren't willing to build more rest areas, or limit the amount of non commercial vehicles ie motorhomes, campers that are now taking up Commercial spaces, then...

Hey ! Thanks everyone... Had to dig through several layers of the Michigan web site. Finally emailed the Sec. of Transportation. There are several State sanctioned truck driving schools that offer what I am searching for. As much as I would like to take the short cuts mentioned, it is in my...

No expediting in Lotus land? So whatever I do, I guess I'll do down here.get it out of my system, then go home,and retread.ooops retire.

Thanks so much for all the information.... Now another question, IF I go to another State to get my CDL will Michigan honour it, or do I fall into the same catagory that I know find myself in?

Hi Everyone! Finally I am stumped. I recently lost my co-driver ( the grass was greener elsewhere). I wrote and passed my air brake test, and got a learner's permit for a Class B CDL. I thought I had a deal lined up but, it fell through at the nth hour due to the fact that their insurance...

Haven't been in Texas in awhile but those Picnic areas are scattered everywhere. Too bad there aren't half as many, and more rest areas properly equipped. Not everyone is equipped to stand by a tree,and water the weeds. Maybe if you wrote your State Officals and asked them, there would be some more.

Personally we get all the internet we need when we are at a truckstop/motel. Tried Verizon but their air card at the time was $250.00 and $80.00 @month for access, that's alot of FlyingJ or any other service. Then of course we had problems with the air card,and none of their offices would handle...

Go to the Con-way Now web site, under services, click on Truck Load tells you all about the new service. I belive it's a full load shipment going to one location, but don't quote me.

I don't think we are allowed to actually to put the owners name in here but, if anyone wants the owner name that I drove for with Panther2 feel free to email me your request be more than happy to oblige you. I mention the name to every expediter I see, so if they ever switch companies that they...

Sorta cute, I guess.... I imagine that her hourly wage is a lot higher than what it would cost the company to do it. I'll rate it on the lower end of the scale. Learning is a never ending lesson

I also drove for Panther11, and like MrDiesel, I also ran into problems with the owner I drove for. To make a long story short, I unwillingly ate my last cheque due to the facts that according to the legal represention I sought out I would have to file in small claims court in every state that I...

Hey! great idea, Not to be unpatriotic but, there are Canadians as well on here, so why not show both flags, or do a map of North America . Could leave room in the centre of the continet for each driver to print/type their nick.

I totally agree with TennesseeHawk you need to contact theFBI. Sure hope you kept all the emails they will definatly want to see them. Wish you all the luck and as it usually happens if it's too good to be true, it usually is. By the way snopes.com is an excellent site to check out all those...
