Actually when it comes to restaurants, you can't just use commone sense. I'm not stupid and I know what's healthy and what's not, but you can't control what a restaurant puts in the food or how they cook it. I looked at one place and a meal with grilled chicken and vegetables had over 1,000...

I was wondering if anyone knows where you can find the nutritional info for food at truckstop restaurants? I don't want to eat in them, but I am curious about the nutritional facts. Recently I looked up some restaurants and their info, and was totally shocked by the amounts of everything in...

You are right! Read, Read, Read, and ask questions if you don't understand fully what you are signing. That's terrible that you had to have a bad experience when you were so excited about buying a truck. How devestating. It's nice that you told your story, and didnt present it in such a...

That would be so exciting! Definately the trip of a lifetime, and you are lucky to have experienced it.

That book sounds like a neat thing to have. We recently went to Barnes and Noble and purchased some flashcards and a learning system used on the computer with study lessons to learn another language. Thought it would be interesting. Also, we listen to music, read, play games, go for a walk...

Just out of curiousity, a lot of Sprinter owners don't have the sleepers correct? If not, is it some kind of a bed that pulls down? I'm guessing the reason is so that you can carry 3 pallets instead of 2. If that's the case, what do you do if you have 3 pallets, can't pull your bed down, and...

The reason you probably missed the avatar I was referring to is because it changes so frequently, if you miss a day, it's already changed...lol

Metal Art it is...a grasshopper in fact. A giant metal grasshopper. It's just hard to see because it's so small, plus it's in sepia. The original is much nicer.

Just wondering how many of you in straight trucks go to state parks, or regular parks to use the trails for walking or biking or anything like that? If any of you do, do you call ahead to see if they will allow you to go there and where you would park and stuff? Do you think they would only...

How come some posts are deemed inappropriate, but not anyone's avatar? I think that I've seen a particular avatar that seems more inappropriate than reading that someone is unhappy with their carrier. After all, this is not a dating site. I know some people may like it, but it seems that...

Don't smokers ever think about people who have allergies and might go into an asthma attack at the mere smell of smoke? My sister has sever allergies and can't even go into places where they were smoking hours ago. Is this fair to say, well you can just go find another restaraunt. We can't...

I think part of the problem is that so many people come on here to ask questions and end up venting and complaining about Panther's procedures and stuff. They're a big company, so of course you end up with a lot of people doing this. Then people join in, and it just turns into a bashing...

Is there payroll people for certain teams? Like the A team, B team, etc?? Or is it just one payroll department for everyone? Because I don't usually run into problems with payroll. Once they messed up pay for a load. We had to go to a dock to get it reworked so it wasn't too heavy on the...

I don't know him, but he seems like a very smart man. I admire the way he can say things to people without ever coming off rude and a "better than you" attitude. Seems nice and gentle in nature. Don't see that in too many people these days.

We usually stay out a long time, so taking time off is a much needed thing. I could understand more for people with kids at home. This would be a hard business for a family man, and his family as well. Why should they work hard for 3 weeks, put up with all kinds of things, and not deserve a...

I agree with you Ark. I don't think a driver should complain and have the mentality that leaves the owner out of the equation. I think the owner has a big investment and deserve to make good money out of the deal. I also don't ever complain to my owners, or the carrier for that matter. I try...

I just meant the driver should get all the pay if they are actually "hand" loading or unloading. See, we don't have a liftgate, pallet jack, pads...etc. If we're doing any loading or unloading, it's by hand. We've used customers pallet jacks for stuff, and never even mention about doing it...

I had went to their website the first time the GPS had been in a post, and read that about it saying the name of the street to turn on. Pretty neat. Also, I think it said you can return it within 30 days. If you did happen to get it, that should be long enough to test it and see if it works...

I do think the driver should get 100% of unloading or loading pay. Why should the owner get that if the driver is the one doing the work, which can at times be hard. For example...we did a load awhile back that had two stops. We had 5,000 pounds worth of 12 foot long deck material that we had...

We're a team, and when we experienced our first really busy season, we had to practically tell them, "hey, we have to get a shower now." Seriously we had two weeks back to back last year where we ran 6000 miles. We kept getting 1000 mile plus trips back to back. We couldn't believe it...
