    lock your doors and get out you guns

    greg I am sorry that is what you believe about dot and crossing into MI. with a firearm. You are correct about letting the officer know there is a firearm in the truck and if it is loaded,unloaded and if you are wearing it or not. not all state's require you to tell the officer but I found it...

    lock your doors and get out you guns

    cheri I would only carry concealed in the states that I have a permit for, in all the other states the firearm would be in a locked case unloaded with the ammo stored in a different area. even when I carried in my 18 I found it to be a more trouble then what it is worth because I would have to...

    lock your doors and get out you guns

    Teamcaffie you are only half correct on a gun in a cmv. You are correct about canada- do not even think of going in there with one. Also your carrier that you are leased to may have a rule against it, as they may term your lease if they catch you with it. I have been out here in a cmv for about...

    DRIVER WINS AGAIN

    your right ovm when fuel is 3.00 it covers the cost of just the fuel but here in SD. today fuel is 3.55 a gallon, I get 23-24 mpg so it still covers it, BUT I look at my total operating cost which is .42 thru .44 cent's a mile to move the van "that's all of my van related expenses based on the...

    DRIVER WINS AGAIN

    cherii I am leased to tri-state they pay you .15 cents a mile after the 1st 50 miles. So if I asked to be moved to the youngstown board for example it would pay approx 260 to 270 miles when I actually would drive 320 miles to get there. Tri sate is very good about moving you out of bad area's...

    DRIVER WINS AGAIN

    remus reread post #11 from jeff brown you get paid 50.00 if the miles on the load offer would not pay that much. heres what I mean 64 miles @ .77 equals $49.28 so any load 64 miles or less will pay you 50.00 +fsc now any load at 65 miles and more will pay you @ .77 a mile plus fsc -- funny...

    DRIVER WINS AGAIN

    because greg you are with fedex and they pay better for there mini's, just like I have talked to van drivers who have taken 25 mile loads for 200.00 plus fsc. if I was offered with my carrier the same run it would be 50.00 plus fsc. fedex and landstar's pay is a whole lot better for there...

    Changing lanes in Expediting

    I have been kicking around the thought of going back to a 18. I drove one for 7 years before I went to a d unit then to a b unit. If the fuel gets to crazy and the freight gets slower than it is now I will go back into a 18 driving for a company as a driver not a o/o with the high fuel prices...

    well you all know that if you do not want to get a dish and you only like to watch local channels, all the major networks like fox,cbs,abc,nbc all have the full episodes for the current season online. This works great because I like to watch bones and house on fox on tuesday night but I am...

    Better Refrigerator for my Sprinter ?

    turtle the only way I can think of to get the 14+ volts required to charge the AGM'S is to go with a high output ALT but you are going to spend some money for that. American Armature out of davenport makes ALT'S for police, ambulances, wreckers and big rv's. They are drop in's. The one for my...
