When I got robbed I was right outside of the GM plant in KC. I'll give you one thing that area around the Petro is something else.

I've actually seen one A unit before. It was a white Ford F-250 long wheelbase pick up with a camper shell on it. He was leased on with CTX. We were down in Laredo and we spoke for a moment. He said they were required to have either 6 or 8 feet of cargo space. I can't remeber. He said he was...

I figured I'd pick on you about it. I guess you are still loving life down in the keys? I hate to say this, but if the guy had a truck could handle more than the bare min. to begin with he wouldn't be having this problem. Like if he had a truck with tandem drives. Adding the apu wouldn't have...

There are alot of what ifs that could come into play. What if he had bronchoitis or something and the oxygen was a temporary thing? I know that is a big what if, but I guess it's possible. He could have asthma and be taking a breathing treatment. My father in law has copd and if he has to stop a...

Not really, but she was hot. On that note I better shut up. You know. Just in case the wife sees this somehow.

Col, I figured you would have said something about how he wouldn't be having this problem if he wasn't in a toy truck. I'm kinda shocked you haven't. You feeling ok?

Even driving a tractor trailer for a non expedite company I've had to wait on loads, and layover several times. The only difference is they pay you layover pay that usually starts after you have been sitting 48 hours. Do you know how many times I've sat for 44,45,46, or 47 hours when I drove for...

Well I guess I shouldn't say much about the whole age thing between Jamie Lynn and her boyfriend. When I was 19 I was dating my 1st Sgt's daughter who was 17. Although I did now better than to get her knocked up. I actually took her to her prom dressed in my dress blues.

I don't think I would like working for an outfit that wouldn't let me book my own loads. I used to take weekend loads that went a good distance from the freight lanes because the money was good. As soon as I accepted the load I'd have the wife on the computer finding me something to get me back...

It's been a long time since I've had to get a comcheck for an oil change on a truck. What is the price of that running these days for a class 8? When it comes to miles would it be best to take the number the recruiter offers for the paid miles and then subtract about 10%, and then figure a %...

I don't think they really give a rip what we think. As long as we keep spending our money at the movies and what not. Until everyone quits going to the movies they most likely will not care.

I want to throw a hypothetical question out there. If I've always been a "company driver" that has never paid for anything besides my personal expenses(food,beverages,etc.) on the road what is the best method of researching what my possible cost per mile would be when I decide to take the leap...

I'm sure buying the overweight permit would have been much cheaper.

Well as crazy as things are getting I could believe the thing about the Zoey 101 show. That's the sad thing about it. In a few years there will most likely be a show with that exact plot.

Greg, You are kidding about the Zoey 101 part, right?

What companies have expedite flatbed? Do you require your contractors to provide their own trailer or do you provide/rent them like the dry van trailers? I don't want to assume anything, but I would guess that the contractor is required to provide their own tarps,straps,chains,binders, and...

I could care less what they do. I think its funny that people think they are so important. I'm younger than most here, and must admit when I was a teen I thought Brittney was all that and a bag of chips as they say. Not any more.

I can say one thing about Panther. They never really pushed me to drive when I said I didn't feel it was safe. I'm not saying a couple of dispatchers didn't try to prod me a little to keep going, but they never really pushed me. It's more than just being sick though. Like Cheri said it can...

I've heard about Fire Ball but he was before my time. Isn't he the guy that Charlie Daniels is talking about in that song that says something like "Fire Ball was an ace and born to race"?

Good to go. Sounds like a plan to me. Piper you talk about it's amazing what is classifed as news. Have you ever seen the show TMZ? The wife and I streamlined the budget awhile back. Part of making our budget more aerodynamic was ditching satelite. So now we have bunny ears sitting on the tv...
