Is there a study guide or something that could help me with the inspection portion of the pretrip for the air brakes? I am completely clueless when it comes to them. I understand the pressure needed and the valves, but having never seen one, I am just going on words. Also, anyone know who...

G'mornin, Well, up early this morning, got cancelled on my overtime shift at the hospital. See, even us nurses have to "sit" some days. Anyway, as to the desire of this message. I read where everyone talks about good contracts vs. bad contracts, so I was wondering if some of you more...

Today, while out Kayaking, I had a thought. (Smell the smoke?) Anyway, I was reading the post of a driver who was telling of his misfortune of being stuck at a crappy truck stop for a weekend and nothing to do. Well, I that truck stop was a mere 30 minute slow drive to where I was Kayaking. I...

(Snipped for brevity) Thanks for the replies, My wife and I have done a lot of research, not the long haul kind of research that would take us to Atlanta, but I do have a wedding to attend to in Indy in July, might be a need for a half day at the Petro there. Thanks for the ideal. As far as...

Survey time Let me then ask this question in a different light, if I may? We do it in a roll call type manner. Those who are sitting around a lot lately will have the top, and those on the move will have the bottom. We will split the catagory by single vs. team units. put in a 1. (Single 1...

Well folkes, I am either misreading the post here or somebodies are telling big fibs. First off, I truely believe that all or at least most of you are of above average intelligence. But, to hear the comments made here, no one likes thier job and no one is making money. I find that hard to...

I have been reviewing some of the request for drivers, both team and singles, and it seems as though the bulk of the offers where for 60/40 split an the driver pays for fuel. Is this the common way? If an employer offers this, would it be OK to counter with a 40/60 split instead with them...

I think I know this answer, but which is better for a D unit. Team or single? I assume a team would be the better option for the company to choose from because they have further depth in miles than a single driver.

Is there a site that will explain in basic terms what the rules for HOS are for expediters? I think, if I understand this right, that when you get to a certain size vehicle, the HOS then apply to you. Is that correct? Lots of infor on the net as to HOS and the Class driver, but limited to...

As a nurse, I can advise you that any swelling in the lower feet can be a sign of one of two major problems. The first is, and more likely, you maybe experiencing early warning signs of a DVT or Deep Vein Thrombosis. This is a potentially life threatning situation. It is caused when the...

I appreciate the responses so far. I live in northern Tampabay, and Ocala is about a slow 90 minute drive for me. So it would not be a problem. Orlando is about 2 hours, again not a problem. So as long as I can trip in and out there on a semi regular basis, like every 5 - 6 weeks, this would...

OK, so the wife has started to lean toward letting us do this. But, of course, we have questions. So, heres goes: How hard is it to do expediting when your home is in Florida? Specifically Tampabay. I am 30 minutes from the main highway in Florida. I realize that with no major industries in...
