    Realdumblicans-I guess I invented it

    3 Months done, 7.75 years to go!

    I agree with the brains statement . LDB said voters use their brains . With the people that voted for Obama it's not likely more than one had a brain . North Korea doesn't give Obama's threats much credibility , do they ? Even Somali pirates dismissed his threats and increased highjackings .

    There was a driver on another forum that claimed he worked for a Panther fleet owner . He said the truck got $1.30 a mile and he got $.24 a mile and had to pay Qualcomm and insurance out of that . The response was he never should have agreed to that contract .

    But then again there are many hotshotters out there with one tons and trailers staying under 26,000 lbs. , have no CDL , and are able to find insurance to run under their own authority .

    Driving a straight rig w/o a cdL?

    Nobody can be required to show a motel receipt . Nowhere is it stated sleep or even rest is required when off duty . Off duty time is unregulated and DOT has no authority over that time . As for your other questions , if he ever hires that equipment out for someone else's use that is commercial...

    Getting Experience

    Companies don't always want experienced drivers . Some have dropped the starting rate for new drivers to $.26 a mile . Many pay less for dedicated runs that let a driver get home often . But you have to look why companies are hiring . Right now Conway has over 140 drivers that finished...

    The Girls Were Out!

    Sexual discrimination question here . How many of you would report a woman flashing to authorities ? How many would report a man ? I was stopped at a light on U.S. 41 in Evansville IN . The car to my left had 2 women in their early 30's in it . When I looked in their direction the passenger...

    any campny take under cdl no cdl

    I know of a couple of companies that took cube vans and you wouldn't want to sign on with them . Watch out for these fly by night companies . It would be well worth your while to trade your truck for a Sprinter if you want to stay under CDL . Your truck is probably over 10,000 lbs. GVWR so you...

    Do not hire this driver!!!!!!!!!!!!

    As I mentioned in another post , all expediters should carry a picture of this "driver" with them and contact the carrier if they see her driving a van . Anyone that has had any contact with her should notify the police . If you have a copy of her driver's license you should notify the DMV that...
