Well, miles are tough right now but seem to be picking up. Are you asking 2500 for a team or a solo? If a solo, that is going to be some good miles. Doubt you'll do it right now (though I've never been solo so I could be wrong). During good times the average for a team is between 2 and 3...

Hmmmm, usually an employee has to pay part of the premium with most companys. 25+ years ago when my hubby first started out in law enforcement we were paying around $400 dollars a month as our premium for family health insurance. That was with the Key West Police Department. Excellent coverage...

But where would you get a dock plate? :rolleyes:

Hmmm, have to disagree. Have noticed an increase in freight. Take last week for instance, we ran 4019 miles. Second best week we have had with Tri-State in past 2 years. As for the Tri-State co-ordinaters they seem to do right by us. We usually talk to Carl or Mic. Both are very sweet and more...

decided to take mercy on the poor junky . . .

two headed turtle. The turtle says, "Hey Dougtravels, I heard your bored. I have an idea that should keep you entertained for a little while. We can go across the street and visit . . .

We drove for Expediter Services for over 16 months. Great people to drive for. As for only wanting teams, got to remember they have new Kenworths that have 2800 monthly payments (per Bobby). Kind of hard to put a solo in a truck and make that kind of payment. Yes, they do have some solo trucks...

Well I can tell you what one not to get. The Magellan. We paid over 600 dollar for ours. She has the satalite radio (we don't know how to use), she has the bluetooth also (we don't know how to use lol), she has features for putting photos on her (yep, you got it, don't know how to use it...

Today we are in Kirkersville Ohio at the Flying J off I-70. Dropped this morning in Chillicothe Ohio at Kenworth. Made it to Walmart to buy groceries, cleaned the truck and did laundry so it has been a productive day. All in all it is a nice relaxing day. Seems things are on the upswing here...

Sad that drivers would do such a thing. Kind of like espionage. Guess they don't understand their hurting themselves and their peers by giving their companys info to other carriers. Personally if I were corporate T-State I would terminate a driver immediately for such an offense. Keeping in...

Lol, yep, same with me. Just recently found out about fancast from another driver. Now go on whenever I get a chance and watch bones. :D

Oilerman1957 we are all glad you finally got your paycheck. You had every right to be concerned when your check did not arrive on time. I am sure any one person on this forum would feel the same regardless of what they post here! With this economy and way businesses are going under a driver...

Did not know Tri-State discontinued the owners portal? We as drivers never had access to the portal. What we do is send in a 41 on the qcom to ask how many trucks are currently in the area we are considering moving to. If it comes back zero we haul a$$ to get there before any other trucks go on...

I have to agree with you CharlesD. I think it is probably the post office. I use to sell beauty items on Ebay back when I was in the salon. Would send out anywhere from 50 to a couple of hundred packages a week. You would not believe how many packages would 'get lost' or arrive to their...

ROLF Hmmmm! Well, geez! See I been gifting my truck owner this whole time! Yep I giv'em #10. It's the best out of the bunch! (and I'm cheap) :D

But transporter have you asked yourself "Hmmm, how much attitude have I been giving my dispatcher lately?". You might be surprised if you answer honestly. You know, I cannot believe how many drivers we talk to on the road who will tell us how they 'yell' or 'cuss out' their dispatchers and...

WHAT! You have to be kidding? Why I wouldn't put my babies outside at home moreless a truck stop. And in 100 degree plus weather? Why, their little brains would fry! Where did you hear this? Oh my, now I'm really upset! :eek:

Keith the answer to your question is the fsc your seeing is really bad. Looks like your averaging a penny a mile in fsc. In this case you should look at the load miles. Where is it going? Is it taking you into a location where you have a better chance of getting a good run with an acceptable...

HMMmmmmm, have to disagree with you mjolnir131. We have sit for 3 days with out a load offer. For instance, went in-service Dec 29th. First load offer was Jan 7th. We did not turn any load offer down. Will admit we were home so it did not really matter but if I had been out in the truck I...

Ohhhhhh Layoutshooter! That's cold, really really cold! RUB IT IN RUB IT IN I THINK THE FEELINS BEGIN . . .Hmmmmm maybe the rest of us will get a 'nice little run' that 'pays really nice money' too! :D
