How can you explain a 30/70 split for drivers, if you're paying fuel, and a 55/45 if the driver is? Additionally, how can you explain a 30/70 split in a t/t, when straight truck drivers traditionally get a 40/60 split? Let us do the math, shall we? $1.20 x 40% = .48/mi, which is what the avg...

I just told my sis the joke my daughter and I always tell each other, as we pass a cemetery... "I wonder how many people are dead in there." "ALL OF THEM!"

Amazing how people tend to run out of gas at a truckstop. Hardly ever at a post office, or a Dairy Queen. A meth-head has never asked me for gas money at church; not once at the farmer's market. crazy_pilot

How do you know dispatch is lying? Their lips are moving. :dash1:

Yep... all that just makes me want to *yawn* sleep. :yawn:

Responding to the driver shortage, I can say that most new drivers, and a lot of seasoned drivers, delve into a situation/company they could avoid with a little due diligence. At another site, I don't know how many people I've read ask about a company after they're already at orientation. We see...

Now don't get me started on the 4-wheelers! :p

Is West serious? While I agree that veterans should get better care than they are, does West actually believe the neo-patriotic gibberish he's spewing, when he talks about our beloved warriors "fighting for our freedoms"? And here I thought he was more than just a bloviated Republican mouthpiece...

You mean the liberal NJ governor? He won't shake up things in DC - more likely shakedown.

Buddha bless you.

It sounds like insurance on the insurance deductable.

Ok, that had a lot to do about nothing.

I just noticed the date... last year. That wasn't long after he sold his truck. He was just going to kick back and deal with the farm, last I talked to him.

However, if I really, really liked the owner, but the company was just giving me crap miles/rates, I'd be asking the owner to move to a different carrier.

65. It's a company truck, and they like to limit us leadfeet, and go to Canada too. One thing I notice about going 65... a lot of other trucks are too. We all love to drag race, and tie traffic up. The losing guy rarely wants to give up an inch, where I learned that laying off the pedal for 1...

We go driving, of course.:D One thing you could check out, is going OTR. There are companies that'll get you home regularly, depending on where home is. I find that even tho the trucks are much bigger, the stress is a lot less than expedite. Of course, it's all a matter of opinion. Another...

Billy, last I talked to him, he was about to get his hip operated on again. Do you know if he did?

I drove with Roger before he retired. That aggravated his hip, which I believe led to his retiring. If I had known he was hurting that badly, I wouldn't have asked him to team. He was a giving person, and had an awesome sense of humor. I remember laughing so hard, I nearly ran off the road. I...

I woke up to low 60s in Murdo. A lot nicer than the 46 I woke up to in WY last week. :confused:
