    Let's not forget that this driver has 8 yrs. with Fed Ex and 5 with Landstar........it's not like he's total 'newbie' to the trucking business.........you'd think he'd have a little sense of what was going on in orientation, wouldn't ya??? Also, he's apparently calling home complaining about...

    The reason no load offer is kind of plain now..........it's obvious that Panther is waiting for all the paperwork to be translated over to Russian so the guy knows what he's signing, etc........:) :) :)

    Lay over time

    I read in another post about the expected 'sitting time' involved with expedited. It was mentioned that one should find a hobby that would fit in the sleeper. What are some of the things ya'll (solo drivers and teams) do to pass the time while waiting for that next load?? I"m a big civil war...

    Where did it go?

    It's now a little clearer why Lawrence closed the thread and should 'not' bring the post back........After reading some more responses, I can understand why it was taken off. Guess I was reacting to just one side of the story. As far as the situation these people found themselves in, I can...

    Where did it go?

    Lawrence, I think you should put this post back on here! Let people read it and judge for themselves. After all, isn't this site to help prospective 'newbies', and others looking for a "good" o/o, and inform?? Not hide things. People need to see both sides of the industry. Why let them stumble...
