    More about the Goldwing ... I cut my last post short because the site was slow and hokey for some reason and typing was very tedious. I like the bike, it's comfy, has a nice backrest and riding position, big footrests set forward like old school riding pegs. I did the cross country ride back in...

    Good luck and I hope you both pass easily and get your permits. Then it's on to finding a owner to drive for. My Freightliner is ok, but I'm not happy with this Mercedes engine. I always thought highly of the brand and expected it to be highly dependable but that has not been the case and all...

    Gear grinder. Not all of these trucks are set up nice and comfy with all the amenities you mentioned. The 100 inch Bolt custom sleepers are popular and most newer trucks have at least that or even bigger in some cases. My 07 M2 is Not one of those. I was used to the sleepers in semis, so of...

    If you had to choose between C/M Transport and Load one, where would you go for overall satisfaction and money coming in v/s costs they charge you. Frankly, the only thing I like about C/M right now is the E LOG system they use... Sent from my SM-N910V using EO Forums mobile app

    Moot. Maybe send him a message and say hello from me. I'm curious about him and who he drives for.

    Bought a new computer and could not get back in the site because I lost my passwords and changed my email address. There was probably a way to recover it, but I did not know how using a new email. I tried, but was unable to get back in, so I started fresh. Sent from my SM-N910V using EO Forums...

    I do recall posting about being upset with a company called Heavyweight Enterprises and using some bad language that you guys spanked me for. No worries, lesson learned. Sent from my SM-N910V using EO Forums mobile app

    Thanksgiving week loads

    We can only hope, but I stayed out last year through Thanksgiving And Christmas, thinking that I , being a single guy with no family to go home to , would stay out and take the loads that others that did go home would not be doing. Well , I sat, and sat, for the most part, wasting time and...

    Josh. I hear ya man. When I was still running on paper logs a few months ago, dispatch called asking for a location every 30 min to an hour , depending on who the shipper was. The auto industry was Very Anal about that, they must have a dedicated obsessive compulsive on staff just for that...

    Gear grinder. Going for your permits will be faster and cheaper for sure and it's really easy, mostly common sense stuff and there is lots of info online aslo. I was heading that way also but was already attending a college that offered a CDL PREP course and it was cheap, only about 500 bucks...

    Hi. My original load was to Portland and I did not expect to spend a week running Oregon and California. .. I was aware of the potential for weather, including snow, ice and the rest of it, I came across 80 in August on my motorcycle way back when and there was snow on the hills. Sent from my...

    Where are you getting loads into Michigan? I live in the Northern part and am thinking of going home for a break. My company can't seem to find me any loads into the state at all. Only got one or two out and that required lots of deadhead. As far as my adventure out West, it was very costly...

    Hi. Had a similar situation recently. Got a load going from Minnesota to Alabama, deadhead 150 miles to the pickup only to find out it was actually going to Va, ok, I'll do that, no problem. .. Turned out that some load brokers were playing games with 3 different companies and taking their...
