Yeah Doggie Daddy, I checked it out too. Says Days Inn is 50.99 a night for 2 and pet friendly but they charged us 68.35 for 2 plus 20. fee for dogs, that is if they ever get around to reversing the 3 overcharges. :D Their site says locations may vary if they are independently owned and yep...

Well, someone (sorry forgot who, I think cheryl but could be wrong) from EO sent me some info on Facebook. I signed up for it , got my own Facebook page now - but I'm not really sure what to do with it? It is kind of confusing. Had heard about it before but had never checked it out. What is...

Ya know Davekc, in all seriousness, it is so so very sad that you are probably very right. I am sure there are drivers that have done those awful things just as there are truck owners that have stolen from drivers. But ya know what, 2 wrongs on opposite sides don't make either side right. I...

Yeah bearcat, six pages that you must not of read very well or you would see where we keep telling you WE DID GET IT IN WRITING! It doesn't matter if it is in writing! A thief is a thief is a THIEF! A contract does not stop a thief from stealing from the driver! If an owner is going to steal he...

:eek: Yep, agree with Mentalgiant. Apples and oranges. All the owner has to do is call the police and make a report. There is an bolo put out for the cargo van and the driver is arrested, or if the van is not recovered the owner is paid off by the insurance carrier. A driver calls the police and...

Lexington Ne has super nice truck parking area. Only one we have ever stayed at to sleep a couple hours. Have been asked to leave several times when we stopped for our weekly shopping at Wally World. Makes me angry every time since we always shop and then head on to the nearest truck stop or...

We have Cingular. 1500 a month, free nights and week-ends. 2 phones, 200 text messages. Yep, we go over on the minutes at $.45 a minute and over on the text at $.10 a text. No overage bill is 114.00 a month, has been known to reach several hundred a month. Only reason we don't switch is I don't...

Ya know, I think some of you are trying 'not to get the point'! Duh, last time I am going to try to explain this! You people are professional truck drivers! YOU know about trucks, trucking companies, owners and sub-contractors! The average person does NOT know a driver is a sup-contractor! When...

took one look at the guy standing on his running board, a big grin split across his face and a look entered his eyes. The guy looks at Wellarmed and says with a big smile "20 dollas and I show you the way". Wellarmed looks at the guy and his grin widens. The guy gets really quite as he looks...

Well Doug that is an idea but would not have the slightest idea how to go about doing that. :D

And for the record, I am not complaining about anything. I was trying to make a point on the issue of how drivers get burned by crooked truck owners who take advantage of new drivers in defense of the original post. :rolleyes:

No, Pjjj, I have held my CDL since 1992. I received my training in Key West Florida and took my CDL test in Miami Florida. We did our time with this company even though we had no legal contract. Not only was the contract not legal but they violated the contract on a minimum of 4 occasions which...
