The price difference was fairly significant in this case, when we first broke a month ago we were in Dayton, Oh. We took it to Stoops there and they wanted 550 for the alt. The one at Auto Zone was 219. But that's not the reason we went with it, the reason was much the same as now, the zone was...

Our alternator died while we were sitting at a shipper waiting to be loaded, that's the first load we've ever had to pull off of, not a good feeling. This is the second alternator in a month, that's what I get for buying an alternator at Auto Zone., yet the one going on today is also from the...

My XM seldom leaves channel 202 The Virus, I am a big fan of Ron and Fez and the O and A show. I will switch to one of the SEC channels whenever Kentucky is playing. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

Nope, don't you go believing that, according to Greg anybody who NEEDS a job is not to be trusted. They are obvious nar-do-well's .....or....or...democrats looking for a hand out.

Perfect, thanks! We only got bothered by one bum who thought 3 am was the perfect time to beat on the door and ask for money, it was not. Thanks again though, easy in and out and we felt safe in a well lit area all night.

Making a delivery mon morning to CSX there in a Sprinter, since this is a railroad outside of Chicago I have some concerns with where to park,we want to get there Sunday night so we won't have to fight any traffic on Mon morning, there's no Walmart. Anybody been to Riverdale? Got any idea's?

Honestly, are you following any of this? Nobody has said a word about carriers "baby sitting" anybody, but I think it is telling that you don't recognize at least some ethical resposibility on the part of the carrier to not keep marching people thru orientation for owners who they know aren't...

well that's just plain crazy talk! A carrier contracts with the shipper, the carrier contracts with the owner of the truck, and I contract with the owner and the carrier as an independant contractor to carry the freight, their are 2 contracts between me and the shipper, and even if there...

Greg I'm sure you're a nice enough guy, and you seem to know a lot about this business as a whole, but on this subject you seem to be talking theory about something you've never experienced, the things you say sound good, in theory, but when they happen to you they really don't mean squat. No...

I've often wondered why, when some of these same characters keep doing the same thing over and over again to different drivers, a. the carrier, after recieving the same complaint repeatedly, doesn't just refuse to allow anymore drivers into orientation until the owner settles up with the...

everybody on this board loves to jump as fast as they can onto anybody getting screwed, hollering "contract" this and "lawyer" that. While it is true that it is always a good idea to have those things, it's not always practical nor does it seem necassary in every curcumstance. For instance we...

I'm in this boat right now, he paid while we drove because I stayed on his case constantly, but he kept 3 weeks pay back from the start so when we quit he stopped answering his phone.

I use a Blackberry Storm, the apps I use most are Google maps, the satellite view haS helped me find the truck entrance and docks more time than I can count, and I use the XM radio APP when I shower, I hate to miss a minute of Ron and Fez.

We've been out of the expediting business for a few years, the the last 2 years the we did do expediting was in a Sprinter. When we first started we were in a straight truck and we ussually would go 6/4 splits, as in I drive 6 she drives 6 then I drive 4..... But after a DOT HOS change we were...

a few months ago my father inlaw met a driver who claimed to drive for a small expeditor company out of Conway SC. I've searched but can find no info on this alleged company. Does anybody have any info about this company?

Now you got me starvin for road food! I better get a load soon, the comforts of home are killing me.

Only by my wife, and in hindsight she mighta said "you're gonna find yourself homeless if you don't straighten up"

annoying? yes. Illiterate? Probably. But I bet you'll know him if you ever hear him on the CB, or if you see him you shall know him by the size of his belt buckle.

Why would the police say that?
