    Your Honest Opinion ...

    I was sitting in Kansas City once with my last carrier (not such a bad place with them), the phone rings. "Hey, we've got a nice run to Colorado for ya". (No extra money, no return load, nothing) Um, yeah...thanks, but no thanks! That particular dispatcher was well known for that kind of stuff...

    Waiting to load...delivery in Det. area. I had hopes of staying here and doing the round trips for a couple more days...some sweet little loads. But I guess this one came across first. Its kinda tough knowing your leaving a decent little gig behind to do one that has half the pay. I could have...

    Your Honest Opinion ...

    You lasted less than a year in an expedite van...said you were going broke, so you went back to t/t. My guess is that while you were playing nice with dispatch, they were giving you the bfe runs that the drivers who knew better wouldnt take and in turn, you sat a lot. If you take every load...

    Your Honest Opinion ...

    I think a newbie would be well advised to be very careful about going to slow areas unless they are being paid well enough to dh out. Ive been in the business for a few years now and Ive yet to cross the NV or CA borders and unless the load pays very well, its likely to stay that way. If Im...

    Seriously? Here would be my advice. Except for a very few places ( Laredo & El Paso being the only two I can think of off-hand )....90% of expedited freight originates east of the Mississippi. For my money, I'll stay east of the Mississippi myself except for the border runs. Many on EO won't...

    upper right (beside the clock). But...That is only there when you have a load, I think ?? Would prefer it on front screen myself.

    I think it would have to be done by satellite. Do satellites work over there?

    I think I did hear that mentioned somewhere? You do understand that it depends on what discussion point we're trying to make?

    Staying warm this winter?

    I installed an Espar in my old straight truck. The wiring diagrams did not match my the wiring harness at all. I finally just studied it until I could understand what wire had to be where for it to work and wired it up. Other than having to sort through the wiring, your toughest part may be...

    Yeah...and I went oos last week, deadheaded to the yard (not a big deal)....to find out that mine had been updated by satellite. I knew that workflow and copilot were showing on the unit, but workflow wasnt working. They had to do something in the office and now Im on workflow. If its showing...
