Rev, Do you all still have the mentors at Tri State? I know when I finished oreintation they gave me a sheet with names and phone numbers of mentors. It was a big help.

People complain about coporate America running politics, but really it's our own fault. I mean most of us will vote for a person of our choosing, but that's it. Think about it. Someone is running for the House out of your district. If they win they will be your Rep. You hope they win so you...

Well I always ran solo and the wife was at home. Had she been with me at all times I most likely would have stayed out for a longer period of time. When you are newly weds being gone to long can take it's toll on your relationship. After a while the wife gets tired of just holding a phone. You...

When I worked for an agriculture chemical distributor we had a couple we used when we had small orders to deliver. We were close to Pine Bluff,AR. My route went from there to Las Cruces,NM. Any loads that went farther out than Texarkana and that thing stayed at the yard and I took the Century.

If you had one slide out and could get an end space you could slide it out over the grass. The only people that might bother would be the ones walking their dogs.

I knew a guy that saved up his driver payback points then used them to buy Christmas presents from the truck stop with. I saved mine and then when the wife would ride with me I had them for the extra money I would spend that week or so on her. I always liked a place where I could stop and do...

I'm guessing either the Democrats or the Green Party.

My senior year of high school my English teacher had a stroke twice. She was in her early 40s so anyone is a possible victim. I would think truckers have a little higher risk for stroke. Due to the fatty foods and increase % of smokers. It's something to think about. Heck a young perfectly...

I sent it to you in a pm skittles. Taste the rainbow. lol. I couldn't help myself. It's basicly a rough draft right now. I'm trying to work it into a final draft then I'll start sending it out. I'm also planning on taking it to my English teacher once all the wrinkles get ironed out. Plus her...

My favorite truckstop out of all of them is Iowa 80 truckstop in walcott, iowa. I love going into that place. I like Petro about the best out of all the bigger chains. Flying J would have to be on the bottom of my list. The main reason was when I drove the fuel cards I had were never...

I typed it up on Microsoft Word so I got a spell check. I'm mainly concerned with grammar.

Easy E- Engand,AR That's from my own personal cb slang. lol. Used to live there. Some people say they are "headed hard for the yard" when they are going home.

I know the KW T600s don't have a lot of room if you ask me. Are you getting ready to upgrade trucks? If so I think the Freightliner Columbia is very nice as far as being roomy. Especially for a solo operator. You also may want to think about buying a new seat. You know one of those wide, fancy...

Wiggle Wagons- Doubles and Triples

Hey Piper I'm getting better. This semester we are reading literature and writing about it. We had to read a story for today called Shiloh. It was about a trucker and his wife. I hated it. This one guy made a comment along the lines of that's just how trucker's wives are. I told him to watch it...

Plus I've a couple of haz mat loads that did pay a decent amount to the truck.

My memory isn't that sharp, and it's been a little while. So to be honest with it would be best to ask someone else.I've never been out there for the bad times. Like right now everyone is saying it's pretty slow. Plus I never owned I only drove. If I were you I would ask someone like...

I call my wife nugget t-hawk and cheri. Back on topic. When I was driving for a fleet owner I ran as hard as the carrier and hos would let me and I still didn't make peanuts. Of course I wasn't teaming.

I just asked for clarifcation. If you are going to get mad about that then you might want to think twice about asking questions. Different companies are different. What a Tri State solo does and a Try Hours solo does can be two different things. I mean you did title your thread Try Hours...

I know there isn't much I can do to help in this because I know longer drive. I have taken the time to write a short letter talking about some of the things I think affect the trucking industry. I want to email these letters out to a bunch of people to try to get the general public's attention...
