I noticed you posted the same thing in the general forum. Welcome to the Office of Redundancy Office :7 To answer your question, I need to know what you're driving.

Where ya headed, Leo?

That's a class act shipper there. Yesterday, I went to Consolidated Diesel in Whitakers, NC. After about an hour and a half I backed in. Waited in the driver's lounge for another hour before the hi-lo driver came in and said, "You still here? You're loaded." Went to close the doors and notice...

There's a cool parody of Wallyworld on jibjab.com... check it out :7

I'll buy American cars when the big 3 can make em decent. Why support the unions? They're only ruining it for the rest of us.

I don't know about that particular site, but from what I've seen with LTL loads, they avg around .75-.85 per mi. I've seen some as high as 1.10, or as low as .25 with one skid.

I'll hafta dig up my dd214 when I get home. Hey, Colonel... wanna go to dinner? My treat ;)

ROFL... I apologize, Rich! Can I trade you my first born, instead? Tonight, my wife told me she stood up in the restaurant booth and called out, "Hi friends!" to everyone in there. She's almost potty-trained, and loves her veggies too! :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 Let me get home, and I'll send it. I'm...

Thanx for reestablishing what I just said, Dave ;) Usually I get that from Leo! HAHAHAHA :7

This thread is getting good!!! These last few posts introduced a new warcry for expediters... Safe or Legal? The ones that didn't make the cut are... Give me split berth or give me death! To split or not to split. Thanx to Washington, my kids will be fatherless(motherless)(orphans)! This truck...

BD, you need to do your homework before you spew your wisdom. Tony has nothing to gain by defending the big companies, as he owns his own company. Geez :(

Exactly my point. There is nothing expedient about regular trucking companies. Their freight usually has a very liberal timeline, so if their drivers get tired, they pullover and sleep. I see very little affect to these companies, but a huge dilemma to expediting. As most have said, it stifles...

I had the same problem finding one for an FL-106. All the manuals nowadays are on cd. You could try ebay, though I didn't see any on there for your truck. I also looked on amazon.com, but nada. Your best bet is to find out what company makes the cd, and call them. If they don't have paper...

No... 21 is the minimum age.

Ethical ppl? These rules were clearly not written by ethical ppl! What possible motives were involved in forcing drivers to drive 10 hours straight? They were written with agendas in mind. If you define ethical as blindly following rules that are not in your best interest, then so be it. I find...

GPS411 costs $150/month. They also have a premier service that my carrier tells me costs $1500/month. It's an excellent way to find loads, make business contacts, manage your fleet, etc. I'm finding out in the few days I've had access to it, that it's a great way to double up on loads, or find a...

If you put DRIVERS in place of O/Os in BDs post, it would make alot more sense. Drivers don't have control of their own destiny, as the owners have the choice whether to pay them or not. In too many cases I've read, the owners also control which loads they take. In those cases, they are just...

It seems the ATA has a double standard going on here. The have "concerns", yet some of their high ranking officials (a VP at Schneider) helped to write the new rules. It's clear to me they're trying to play both sides of the card here... wanting small carriers who depend on the split sleeper to...

There has to be more to it than what's on here. How does a liscence get suspended for a speeding ticket? My ex-girlfriend's deceased hubby died as a result of stumbling (drunk) into the middle of I-94, and getting hit by a t/t. The driver had been driving for 14 hours straight. The jury in the...

I can't find any info on that crash in Land Line. Of course the trucker is going to get hit for the accident. Didn't you know that their biggest thing is "If you weren't there, that wouldn't have happened."? Their reason for this one will be that he wouldn't have been there if he would've obeyed...
