    This hillbilly can sing when she isn't acting stupid.

    Could make a living out of "producing artist's" of this venue. See them holding signs up at intersections all the time. Maybe it is time to run the van home, and make the offer.

    This hillbilly can sing when she isn't acting stupid.

    Well, Joe Cocker and Rod Stewart both could sing....you may not care for the voice, but they could carry a tune. This gal is no better than some karaoke singers I've had to suffer through, back in the day. As for paycheck? Guess that's the bottom line. Sad to know all one needs nowadays, is a...

    Progressive Insurance goes up again !!!!

    Special rate through a carrier. Got my suspicions on the whole picture though. Took it for now to begin running, but the policy is too bare bones for me, and offers no roadside. Sometimes those "special rates" to be paid out monthly, do not calculate into "good coverage". Bare minimum to me...

    This hillbilly can sing when she isn't acting stupid.

    Goodness. This girl can't sing a lick IMHO. Kinda like those bands, whereby anyone can play the song in a garage or basement. There seems a reason she has to resort to antics.....that voice/tone is not taking her anywhere special?

    Slow Left Lane Drivers BEWARE!!

    Yup. The only reason I moved over was due to the train behind me, he had no way to merge. Many times it's because LEO's in the pack, as we all might suspect. :D Not always textbook when maneuvering, but just so happens, I was this time. LEO had the catbird seat and saw it all. I wish more of...

    :D There's a point to be made there...and a nice rebuttal.

    Republican or Democrat? Take This Quiz.....

    It's all a mute point. This poster is very conservative on some things, while being quite liberal in other aspects of life. The important thing for them?.....they gotcha battling over non-important issues. Rep or Dem means absolutely nothing in reality. As posted elsewhere.... "There is...

    Slow Left Lane Drivers BEWARE!!

    It was fun to see this action, and consequent no written violation, but it should be considered an exception IMV. Got a "where in the heck is a cop' story to that regard: New York State a few weeks back, running the usual 1 MPH under the posted and cars are lining up behind me, 5 deep. Pick up...

    Slow Left Lane Drivers BEWARE!!

    Actually, that's pretty good patrol work.....and funny. Left lane is a p-a-s-s-i-n-g lane. He/She did this driver a favor. Get over where you belong, no ticket this time. :)

    Guess that depends what rung you're a standin on. I hear this all the time from people who work for a company that fits them. Try averaging about 300 miles PER WEEK for a whole month? How about 1 load in a three week period? Wanna try a couple weeks with no pay at all? Get this on your balance...

    Actually, that named company was my first inquiry. Here's how the timing went; taking on vans one week, bought my van the next, all positions filled after I'd been accepted. Your right, they do run a lot of miles, but so does the company I ended up with, and they are expanding. Drove a...

    Hey Hawk. Send me a PM and I'll be happy to reveal....while getting your opinion. Was approved by three companies taking on CV's right now. Liked certain aspects about all of them, and would be happy to just get some miles. Got the van inspected today and dealership in NY honored their promise...

    Ford E350 Unicell Sleeper

    Yup, that seems to be the standard. The beauty is, they only require 8 ft.....96" for cargo's. I placed the Etrac at 8 feet, with the remaining living quarter breakdown option for 3 skids at 40". Placed 2 Etrac anchor points right behind both seats. It's not necessarily the skids I'm thinking...

    Considering maintenance and tax.....what do you suggest for this percent amount? Is it the old 1/3 and 2/3 I keep hearing about. :)

    Progressive Insurance goes up again !!!!

    2011 Extended GMC was quoted today at 4000.00 per year by Progressive agent, 333.00 per month. No accidents (fault or no fault) for 40 years. One windshield claim, no tickets in 17 years, no offenses at all in that time frame. Better keep shopping, as State Farm will not insure the van for...

    Team Needed-Paid on W-2- Good or Bad ?

    Just a hunch, having driven team, fresh out of CDL school couple of years ago. Good teams are already established for a lot of companies. Frankly, being so ignorant at the time, it was a benefit for me personally to be on W-2. The new person needs to become mindful of keeping receipts, how it...

    Sitting at home in MI. I envy the folks who are up and doing right now. Been here for a week getting the van ready to roll. Been one thing after the other, DOT inspect, insurance, equipment, floor and Etrac etc etc. That's after running to NY area to PU van. Spending money, while not making...

    Ford E350 Unicell Sleeper

    Yup. Going to report 128" (3 skids) but it's actually 135 to back seat. Never want to show up and have to kick my brain back into remain calm mode. ;)
