    McDonald,s Hiring 50,000 Workers in One Day

    50,000................actually that's not a big deal. Do the math.........50,000 in 50 states............that's 1000 jobs per state. Divide that by the number of Mcdonald's franchises in each state and your talking a pretty small number. Sounds good in the papers and on the news but it's...

    I had 2 yrs. delivery experience before getting into expedited. Ran a small 10 wheeler flat bed delivering steel to customers in NY, Pa., and Ohio. Have never figured out why some of these expedited companies haven't opened a branch for flat bed straight trucks.........I know the freight is...

    daytona 500

    Read today that they've reduced the resistor plate by 1/16"......that should help do away with the 2x2 racing.............I HOPE!!!! Guess the 150's tomorrow will tell us what the 500 will 'look' like.........

    daytona 500

    If the way the Bud Shoot-out went is an indication of how the 500 is run, which is usually is, with the 2x2 racing all night this could come down to one of the most boring 500's in history!!!

    Ok Everyone, LET ME HAVE IT! Poor it on hard!

    1. Why in the world would you even stay in a truck that is that bad to fail 8......EIGHT inspections. Your the one driving the truck, no one else, your responsible. 2. How in the world did DOT not red flag this truck and allow it back on the road? As soon as the next imspection was done I'm...

    Have You Ever Been "Drafted"??

    Did you ever think that some are probably 'ghosting' you because you have a CB radio and they don't? I've done that with trucks while in my personal vehicle. Not right on their bumper of course, but they speed up I figure 'all is clear' I speed up. They slow down I figure it's because they know...

    I agree, but my point was that they claimed to have an open door policy. Agreed, no one should be able to just wander around aimlessly, going thru the proper channels is the correct way to do it. I DID that. They said in orientation that if anyone wanted to go and watch the dispatchers for...

    Hey Chef, your talking about 'open doors' reminded me of the first company my owner was contracted with. They claimed to have an open door policy all the way to the top if needed. BUT, in the hallway leading to the dispatch room was a wide white piece of tape across the floor and next to it...
