I'm with you nightcreacher.......I don't know how he could log that many miles legally........have to admit though, had some good runs for a solo......:)

I was always led to believe that once a load offer is accepted it's a binding contract......they can't change anything........ We always kept our qual-comm and phone offers on the qual-comm screen until we went home, then compared the offers/acceptances with the settlements.......THEN we'd make...

Thank you terryandrene, I appreciate that..... I just always wonder what "outsiders" think when they read some of the responses. Most are writing in here looking for an answer, or some info. Oh well, what will be, will be........IF the moderators know of these people that have dual identies on...

I'd reach over and turn the alarm off, I was definitely dreaming!!!:)

I've been reading posts on here daily for probably the past 6 months...And I feel this needs to be said, sorry if I ruffle any feathers.......well, on second thought, I"m not sorry. I read this morning the post from the guy looking for a good, honest o/o to contact his friends and talk with them...

CONGRATULATIONS Layoutshooter!! Now you can relax and breath again!! :)

Sounds like it's basically your wife's problem to solve....SHE needs to stand up to him. You telling him might cause more problems. Talk to HER and tell her to get some courage and stand up to him!!! Tough spot to be in

We always came home for Thanksgiving......not much going on....and came home for X-mas and New Years......but have heard some staying out just to have the "numbers" in their favor.......more trucks at home than in service.......

Nope......A-Rod is definitely going to the Cardinals!! lol Congrats to the red sox fans.......but do me a favor........tell the guy in left field, don't know his name,don't want to, to get a ##### hair cut!! And "big poppy" to quit spitting in his ##### gloves!! Drives me nuts to watch these...

I too became ill on the road once........We had picked up in Detroit, headed for S.C. Running as a team. Loaded the truck and headed out......50 miles down the road, dispatch calls saying the company had loaded the wrong freight. we had to go back, unload, and re-load the correct freight...

tallcal101, your response has struck a nerve!!!!!! First of all, a driver should NEVER have to "insist" on an owner getting necessary repairs!! NEVER!!! Keeping the truck rolling mechanically is up to the owner. It's his truck. Not the drivers truck. The owner we drove for NEVER batted an eye...

Arkjarhead, that story is hard to believe.....first, why would anyone kill a deer and not field dress it? Have you ever tried to drag a deer??? It's HARD WORK even with it properly dressed....I can't believe someone could drag one not gutted.... Second, no deer is going to lay there and let some...

My turn to brag about the expedited industry and my previous (and only) owner I've driven for. We started in expediting without a clue as to what it was all about. Luckily we got on with owners, husband/wife that knew the business. At the time, they had 4 straight trucks and 3 vans on the road...

Leo...read your stats on total trucks for PII......one thing you didn't mention and not sure how one would find out...... figure in the trucks that are already committed to a load, I think "mental picture is that all 1400 panther vehicles are waiting for a load at the sametime. Wonder how that...

I"m really enjoying the "health insurance" that Clinton promised in his campaign, Both times!!!! And, just to show you a little about "the clinton's......Hiliary absolutely hates the military!!! it's a fact. When slick willie was in office, she made sure that the military population was cut to...

Dave, you definitely wouldn't want to see how many deer there were out there........ALOT more than you could imagine on that stretch of road!!! :))) I"m originally from western NY, the key word there being "from"....NY is a good place to be from!! LOL NOT a good place to live!!! Here's what...

"X" endorsement is for hazmat and tanks. but doesn't it also cover air brakes? I have X endorsement and have hazmat, tanks, and air brakes .....

Hey Pelicn, welcome to New York...........always fog as thick as pea soup along I-88 this time of year........Know exactly what your talking about..........played that game on that road many a time.......

I think I might have been misunderstood when I said that I'd call the owner about certain loads........someone commented on not wanting drivers to call 24/7. We were basically trusted to make the best decision on the load offers. We would contact the owner only if one was quetionable. After all...

Leo, I see your point, but, if you feel questionable hiring someone not trusting them with idling, wasted fuel, abandoning the truck somewhere, why hire them in the first place???? When we were driving for our owners, we took care of the truck as if it was our own......and he took very good care...
