Thank You myvan. Perhaps this could be my positive contribution to the site. I've learned a lot reading other post on different subjects, and it's helped me bunches. I would still refuse to provide links, other than through PM, but the door is open for general conversation? Would highly...

Pandora and Spouse Not to be confused with the ones you see at the kiosk or truck stops. Those are gimmicks and money makers for distribution sake. I've no stake (or dog in this hunt), but would happily steer anyone to the proper source. Feel free to PM for particulars. I've vaped for over two...

Am I the only e-cigarette ST operator? Smoked for 30 years and quit in one week. Hint....it's not the nicotine that has you hooked (so much). I really enjoy driving and reaching for the vanilla tobacco, Cavendish pipe vape, or the occasional menthol liquid. No more cough, no more burning...

Scales were one of the most confusing things when starting out. Now, if I'm in doubt? I just pull in. So happens we passed a level one inspection during the annual blitz and I never had to pull in at all...but was not sure, so I did. Do wish they would coordinate this aspect. I think it's the...

Wow. OP says it all and have only been exposed to a portion of it. While it all seems true, I personally battle for what I call The Break Out. Fought traffic and road signs to the shipper, dealt with the freight load, entered all necessary QC info, had a quick snack, and now it's time to...

Hey gang. Been missing some of the news here at the ST site. We have icing of body parts and all manner of neat things going on? LOL Update from Wolverine-ville......Short week and missed a couple of good loads. All the way to Laredo only to find the border shut down. Sat for 24 hours until...

Got to be kidding me AMonger? Yup....it all comes down to working together and having respect for the other driver. Couple of times we were very close to the destination and one does not wake the co-driver at midnight just to drive the remaining few miles etc. Like LDB comments as well and...

Thanks for the input Dynamite. Can see in your case the 10-10 working out pretty well. Just a beginner here and like the idea of running the truck however I want for 12 hours. Co-driver on current team has a lot of experience and drives somewhat different than myself. Driving nights is a little...

It does assist with both aspects mentioned. There seems to be nice balance and teams can switch the day and night hours as the loads dictate. Always seems an opening for switching the guy/gal on nights back to days....and so on. Logs are much easier, with less room for mistakes. They don't...

With remastered "Peaceful Easy Feeling" going softly in the background and a little home time in the garage office......can anyone chime in on the 12/On 12/Off Expedite team run? Tried this for a couple of weeks and it seemed to work great. Almost like running two separate logs and it would...

Good to hear about the solo runs and hope there's always a need. NE gig this past weekend and first trip to NY. Not as bad as some claim.....worse than what others claim. Nice to have it under belt all the while. Worked down to Ashland VA with short run and sitting in a light rain at Richmond...

Southern MA to Texas. Pulled into scales in TN and was asked to pull around back. Truck in great shape and passed level one. Log books good. NE region seemed to have a lot of pull ins and if they didn't stop you......it seemed because they had questionable rigs a plenty, already being inspected...

Would that be the STL Cardinals? If so, just went by the new stadium the other night. (one lane road construct) on the way to deliver in Waterloo IA. Originally from Iowa, and a Cards fan for 37 years. Used to go to old Busch Stadium all the time.

Did attend the chapel (truck trailer) service at the TA in GA, this past Sunday. Folks there are doing a nice service....though I did not agree with the message in total. But that's another thread.

That's the time. Good to hear people having fun while moving the freight. These type posts make me want to continue for ST Expedite. Congrats on imagination and working in the good times. Sounds like fun.

Sounds like some folks found a way to relax, and even have some good times. Beats the heck outta sitting for 70 hour re-set at the Jackson, GA TA. Not the longest 3 days of my life, but in the top five.

When choosing between those two pieces of chicken on the buffet; knowing it really doesn't matter which one you choose.......you'll have another shot at the other one tomorrow.

Parted ways with the first one, for reasons not to be brought forth here. Suffice it to say, we were not even likely to meet for a coffee....let alone an Expedite truck. Two sides to every story and no need to give my half. Like you state, he probably suffered as well. LOL

Yup. Got one for that hall of fame already. I'm thinkin large house in background, a hotel, and one shower scene. Being pretty discreet on this forum.....so we won't go into nicknames. :rolleyes:

Thanks Cheri....that helps. Trying to get a handle on this while running necessary team. I don't mind the short runs and wouldn't mind the delays etc, if I have the truck to myself. Sitting outside HotLanta right now and I'd be doing things totally different on this holiday extended reset. These...
