    So much for the strike!

    The last guy I worked for would get these power unit only loads. Basiclly we would be pulling an empty trailer. Well he would put a load on it and double dip. I don't know if you are really supposed to do that when transporting a trailer, but he did it quite frequently.

    Newbie with questions

    You might also think about expediting in a t/t. The reason I say this is because it will give you more options when it comes to getting off the west coast and into the freight lanes, and better chances to get a load with a profit going back to Cali when you want to see the family. Just a...

    Engine Fan Problem

    I drove a Pete once that had a switch on the dash that would allow you to turn that fan on, off, or set it on auto to kick on by itself. That's what you need if you could get it layoutshooter. You'd just have to remember to keep an eye on that temp gauge if you had it in off mode.

    60/40 revisited?

    I'm gonna throw something in here and everyone may think I'm crazy. What a person thinks is acceptable pay has something to do with where they call home. I'm talking from a driver's point of view. Someone like me who lives in the middle of nowhere Arkansas can make it on less than someone from...

    Contest for Purple Heart Veterans

    I thought about joining the VFW but I can never make the meetings. I would also like to join the DAV but have a hard time getting to meetings. I mean what is my wife going to do the while I'm in a meeting. Pine Bluff,AR isn't the safest place for a woman to be alone on Friday night.

    Interstate Highway System

    I heard a guy talking yesterday at the VA on how Eisenhower signed some Interstate Highway System Act back when he was President. This guy claimed this act states the Interstate is for military and commerce use only, and that cars aren't even supposed to be on the Interstates. I haven't been...

    So much for the strike!

    Who really thought it would happen anyway? What I'm about to say I mean in offense to anyone, but I feel I need to say it. Look at how many people will take time off to go places like MATS incur all kinds of d/h, or even waste time playing video games in the truck stop but won't spend the time...

    Sheriff Joe does it again

    Well there are plenty of Vets that think the war is wrong not just you. That has nothing to do with it. Personaly you won't hear me say anything negative about the war because it cheapens the sacrifice these guys have made. There are some people in Iraq that want the Americans there. Trust me...

    CDL-A College degree!

    I know a guy that has a 4 year degree and works as a cashier manager at Wal-Mart. Good guy. He went to school to be a minister and it didn't work out after graduation.

    Leo isn't 9mm ammo cheaper than some of the others? I mean it would only make sense that it would be cheaper than the higher caliber rounds.

    CDL-A College degree!

    And its just about as worthless as a bachelor's degree in learning how to succeed in real life.;) It's not worthless when it comes to getting a job in the real world. Alot of good paying jobs won't touch someone without any higher education. Maybe not where driving a truck is considered, but...

    Expediters Going Hungry, For Real

    I gotta agree with you T-Hawk. Trucking as an O/O used to be a great way to make a living. My Grandpaw raised 3 kids doing it. Lived in his own paid for house, paid for my mom to take piano lessons, bought her a piano to practice on at home, paid for toys, and my Grandmaw to have a nice car to...
