    I still don't/won't do NYC or Canada............that doesn't make my 'fussy' it keeps me sane!!! :) All the money in the world isn't worth me driving NYC or Canada...........it's a matter or personal preference, not being fussy.

    Self Imposed Deadhead

    JMO, BUT, if the owner would put a generator in the truck the drivers wouldn't be idling to stay warm or cool...........problem solved. Let's see the ones that are supposedly getting their 'clocks cleaned' stay in the truck for 3-4 weeks at a time and NOT have any heat when their trying to...

    How much does a dispatcher have to Invest

    Terry, are you saying that just because someone doesn't want to go into Canada or NYC, that they should be paid less for all miles no matter where they run??? I flagged myself "no canada, no nyc" simply because I didn't want/need the hassle. NY is way to expensive to run...

    Missouri flooding up-date

    The state of Missouri has been declared a disaster area by Pres. Bush. If your traveling anywhere on the eastern 1/3 side of the state, be aware of the conditions from Fenton, Mo. just south of St. Louis, all the way south to the Ark. border. I-55 is open and dry with no problems but be...

    Something I had to figure out the hard way

    Best to use ALL the steps...:) Looking back, it's kind of funny, but surely wasn't at the moment. Delivered at Fayetteville, NC. Had backed to the dock in the first bay. The wall was pretty close to the drivers side door so I figured I'd just jump out on the passenger side. I slid out of...

    Owners who hire Texas drivers (are there any?)

    austindriver... I hope you and your prospective partner has thought this over very carefully. Make sure 'being home' isn't a priority, seeing how you both live 'out of the loop'. Do you realize just how difficult it will be to support two families? Both of you giving up certain paychecks to...

    new dispatch system @ the fed

    Let me throw in my own two cents worth, let ya'll throw this one around. Say truck 1,2,and 3 are offered the same load at the same time.........each truck is listed with #1 having 5 hrs. sitting, #2 having 4 hrs., #3 having 2 hrs. Their all sitting next to each other at the same place, so...

    I never served, but here's a little of my families history, the ones I know of. Great Uncle served in WWI, survived Argon Forest, he would never talk about the war. 2nd Cousin served in WWII, Bataan death march survivor, he also would very seldom talk about the war. Father served in U.S. Army...

    Black America

    ratwell71 has it right!!! PAY ATTENTION TO WHO YOU VOTE INTO CONGRESS...........IT'S CONGRESS THAT APPROVES ALL EXPENDITURES. The President can't spend a dime without Congress approval. The President can't declare war on anyone without going to Congress........ I read and hear all this...

    What are they thinking?!

    Bro David, It's also illegal in some states, Missouri for one, to talk on a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle. Usually never enforced though. That includes the new ear pieces, and head-sets. My point: It's just as distracting to be talking on the phone while driving as it is reading...
