LOL!!! That is so funny. I thought we were the only ones getting "the look". When you have a spot and they're driving by looking all hateful at you like you don't deserve the spot or something. We definately circle around and purposefully look for the spots they can't or would have a hard time...

I really like being able to find out my board position without having to bug or wait on dispatch. I also like the new first out where if you have the manual first out and move to another board, it follows you. Also, that if someone else has one and they get there after you, they will show that...

I'm finding it strange...one week really good week with lots of load offers, the next only like 500 miles for the whole week as a team.

That's a good idea about keeping your cell phone charged. I never thought of that, cause I usually let it get low, and then charge it all the way, but with not knowing what can happen in wintertime, it is a really good idea to keep it charged. I always make sure we have extra water, food, and...

You've got to be kidding me? That is so funny. Whenever you're driving down the road, and some crazy driver is weaving in and out of traffic, cutting you off and almost running off the road, you wonder "where are cops when you need them?" The answer is there in that article....lol.

I absolutely love your pictures!!!!

Cool! That's what I had heard, but wanted to see if anyone else had. Anything helps. It adds up over the year for two people.

One thing is if you don't own the truck, you don't make as much money, so it's a little harder to put money back. It seems like that's a big mistake people in this industry make. They have a really great week, spend all that money, and then then don't have any left for the next week that might...

Okay...it's Monday and still inaccurate! When is this supposed to change? Will be really nice. Like today, it said the board we were on there were 0 available. Then wrote and found out we were 4th out. So, still inaccurate.

Are you able to claim the insurance you're required to pay by the company (like $23 a person) every week? I guess it's workman's comp insurance. I haven't looked at the papers in so long, forgot what it's for...lol. Just wondered if you can use it as a deduction though. Anyone know?

It is slow in Texas. We went home for Christmas and got stuck there till way after New Years. Had a really good week last week, and then ended it with a load to Texas. Got stuck there for three days, then just a load in Texas...too many people sitting in Dallas, so we moved to Houston, and...

That will be really awesome if it changes! Right now, it's kind of misleading and I agree it can be a really useful tool if it works the right way. So, they say you'll be able to find out your own board position? That also would be nice, wouldn't have to bother them asking. One thing I wish...

I wish it was a career for me, but I play piano. Don't think I can work on that too much in the truck...lol. Probably wouldn't be much room :) I think about playing a lot though....really miss it sometimes. The keys are like built in therapy. They do have these weird things though that are a...

I wasn't actually serious about thinking that they pick on me...I was just joking about what it can feel like when you're one of the ones who gets picked all the time. Just at the time seems like it's always when you've been running really good and it ends your lucky streak, or haven't had a...

We use a TomTom and I love it. I like that after I enter a destination, I can read the route as text and compare it to the company's directions, to make sure I'd be taking the same route. Then I can avoid certain parts of the route or whatever. I also like that if you pass up a street it...

On almost all the websites I've researched trying to find a good trucking accountant, their websites say you can take the per diem, but also list showers in the list of deductible things. Recently one that I spoke to said to let them know the amount of days spent out on the road, and also said...

Okay...this is the second time this past week I've seen this. I was at a shipper once, then a consignee the second time it happened, and I'm really confused. I needed to use the restroom. I found it, and upon opening the door I saw a "list of rules". The FIRST rule on both of these lists was...

Or how about the ones in a pickup pulling a camper? Gotta love them. No spots, and they take the last ones cause they can't just go somewhere regular that they'll fit into. We try and be curteous to the big trucks and get the spots we know they either can't get or would really have a hard time...

yeah, it probably is done by computer...just seems like it's at the worst times...when you've been running hard and are on the way to go get a shower and have already passed the place they want you to go to. Just kinda a pain. We're always really friendly when they call, just seems like we're...

I was just wondering how many times have you been selected to take a "random" drug test in what time period? Just curious, because both my husband and I have taken two this year....and before working here....never! Just wondering if they're picking on us young folks...LOL.
