I use sprint wireless. I get online wherever there's a sprint signal. At $80/month, it's definitely not for those who can survive with J or TA services. KW... why haven't you written me back?

The DOT sticker tells the feds that your truck is servicable and up to their specs. If you don't have it, and get pulled over, you lose money. Bobtail insurance covers your vehicle any time you don't have freight on board. Yes, you hafta have that too. As far as your broker goes, he is...

that .27% you're talking about, Leo... is that counting weekends? When you figure weekdays as taking up around 21 days out of the month, that comes to .39%. That maybe a drop in the bucket in your eyes, but could you imagine the GDP droping by that amount? If the stock market dropped by that...

They could be looking at it like this. If you're on your 8 hour break, you can't likely be in an accident. It would be obvious they haven't seen JB or Schnieder try to park at a truckstop :7

I get the point you're making. What I was getting at was that the second cop wouldn't have pulled you over if you would've gotten it fixed. I assume that you were driving a POV and not a commercial vehicle. Still... why give them the excuse?

My opinion is, don't base the potential of a D unit on what you'd make in a van. The two are apples and oranges. As far as you stretching a tractor, read the archives. There are plenty telling of the perils of having one stretched by companies that don't know what they're doing. Having it...

Yep... great for someone who's into expediting as a hobby. Don't know too many of them.

Thanx for the warning... I'll keep my eyes open. If it's anything I don't want is getting taken again. I've heard of Rodriguez. I wish you the best.

If you don't mind me asking, which company did you lease on to? Curious as I'm near Detroit also, and just leased onto PDQ.

The queen :censoredsign: who heads the transportation safety administration, who came up with this BS says backwards and forwards this is a safety issue. Know what? Busdrivers aren't affected by the new rule. If the new rule is supposed to work towards safer highways, what's more safe than having busses...

I was hoping to run with you. But in your email you said I'd have to recruit and be an operations manager first. I don't have that experience, and for now, am not interested in that kind of work. I'm intent on just finding freight and getting it from A to B. But as a collegue told me, the only...

I misunderstood... this is my first time hearing of that rule. Geez!!! What the hell do they want from us??? Now they're just asking for more accidents! They're basically forcing a tired driver to go 8 hours before switching.

Our own boss? Nah... we just have more freedom than most other industries. If we were our own boss, we could raise our rates just like every other business. We have no control over what we get per mile other than working towards less dh. Unless you get your own loads, that is.

who are you talking about, and what didn't you understand?

No... you can still do 5 on 5 off. In case you get stuck in traffic, you still have an hour cushion.

tiredofsittin... I'm guessing from your name you're a single driver. It's been said numerous times on the forum that the bigger companies are team oriented. If you're thinking of a move, check the posts (including archives) to find one more fitting a single driver.

Well... a few people have wondered what I've been up to. I think this is a good time to tell. I just got out of a situation that my nephew and I thought would be lucrative, but didn't work out that way. Out of respect to the one who gave us the opportunity, I'll leave it at that. I'm signing on...

If it was the same tail light, maybe you should've gotten the hint the first time.

Bought stock in Exxon... those theiving rats!!! :P

BWAAAAAHEHEHEHE BWAAAAAHEHEHEHEHE!!!!!! :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 Geez... I think I soiled myself!!! :+ :+ :+ :+ :+
