I'm sure a number of ex-auto workers will decide to try expediting - that's one of the freedoms we enjoy in America: to choose our occupation. To succeed at it, though, is a whole 'nother ballgame. Some will, and some won't - just like the rest of us. [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] Don't you...

Leo I'm not trying to go against what you are saying, but I think that would be scary at 60 or heck even 45. I'm glad I've never been in that situation.

He is just telling them the way it is. I think you know as well as I T-hawk that alot of people in this country have gotten where they don't like this kind of thing. I don't think he is doing anything wrong. The 18,19, and 20 year old girls are the ones who think he is doing something wrong. See...

That statements proves how much you know about being an o/o. The truck is the one getting paid 1.20 a mile not the person who owns it and drives it. Plus if you think that all that goes into being a driver of any kind o/o or not is just holding a steering wheel and earning big bucks you have...

I heard through a conversation yesterday that there is a doctor in Stuttgart that is doing something to the females that they do not like. Alot of people in this country would be appaled to hear what he is doing. Some may call for him to no longer be allowed to practice medicine. Some may say he...

Maverick is another good one. They will get you home most weekends where the Schinders and JB Hunts will get you by the house once a month. The only thing is pulling a flatbed is a little more work than pulling a dry van, but Maverick pays a rookie better than most other companies.

Recruiters have a job to do plain and simple. If a recruiter tells me I'm going to average X amount of miles per week I know to subtract about 10% from that number. The reason is most recruiters don't know much about trucking. They just know two things what truckers want to hear, and what they...

I would tell myself to stay in college the first time you start and don't quit. I could be graduating in May. Oh well I don't let it get me down.

Well what gets me is most of the people around here that claim they free government healthcare run around with 20 inch rims on their Lincolns and Caddilacs, have a mouth full of gold teeth, and wear the newest shoes. It reminds me of free lunches when I was in school. The kids whose parents...

The last I was told was they only paid for travel if you live more than 50 miles from the nearest VA. I don't live more 50 miles away from the Little Rock VA. Plus since I am 100% VA disabled I pay no deductibles,co-payments, and have no bills. I will look into it though. I know a few guys...

I just don't see where universal health care should be a presidential nominee's top priority. I think there are many more important things. I know many people who have health issues. I go to school with a gy whose mother has a rare form of pancreatitis. She is going to have to go to...

I thought I was in church for a second because yall are preaching the truth.

My weirdest DOT story went down at the Vicksburg,MS scales. I got called in and there was one DOT officer in the scale house, a young black man, and about 15 white drivers. We stood their while he called a couple more in. He called in a hispanic guy and as soon as he came through the door he...

I'm sorry you may disagree with me, but the man I think that would be a good choice for President isn't running. He spent many years in the military. He advised the first Bush not to go into Bagdad and tried to get the second one not to. He also told the second Bush he was invading with to small...

SO you press the button on the mic and it goes from the cb conversation to the phone? that sounds pretty cool. Unless whoever you are talking to decides to start talking before you release the mic key.

When I pulled flatbeds we would haul this wire out to the Port of Long Beach,CA to be shipped to China. Alot of times I might pick up 2 or 3 small peices of equipment that were going back east. All combined it would pay as good or better than any full truckload. One time I picked up a decent...

I really have nothing against him. He is my brother in law's driver so I like it when Jr. out does Kasey so I can rub it in the bro in law's face. He is a fair weathered fan so it doesn't bother him much.

Just be sure to wear flip flops in the shower. Something I always thought abut was if these guys will take a leak on the truck stop parking lot what's to say they won't take a whiz while showering? I never let my feet touch the shower or bathroom floors, and I always advised my wife to bring a...

Actually you haven't gotten the full lesson yet. This deal with United States forgein policy goes farther back than WWI. I would say it dates back to 1823. In 1823 there was a document written called the Monroe Doctrine. This U.S. doctrine basiclly stated three things. 1. The US would...

That's it 2,000 miles per week in a van. I would say Terry is an authority on the van segment of the business and really expedite as a whole. He gives great advice. I'm just a crazy redneck who try's to help people when he can.
