It's time fr all drivers both current and former to stand together and try to make a difference. What can I do as a former driver to help you guys out?

When I was on the road my main reason for going home was simple. I got tired of sleeping alone. It's nice to share a bed with the wife from time to time. Plus I have a life. My dog always liked it when I came home. I'd call my wife when I was close to home so she could move the car to allow the...

You bring up a good point TallCal. Anytime I see a FedEx ad on tv they seem to throw in everyone's name except cc. I've seen them talk about Ground,Express, Home Delivery, and Kinkos. Sometimes all in the same commercial. Nothing about CC. I wonder why that is? Maybe it's the same reason I have...

I would think it is 45 mph x 11 hours. Most companies figure you will average 45 mph to allow plenty of time in making the p/u and del times.

If I'm not mistaken I think there is a company called Expedite Solutions or Expediter Solutions that does training. They advertise here on this site. I also think it's mainly open for same household teams. I'm not for sure but I also think they are located in the Mid West. They have trucks...

Al, Let me rephrase my first couple of lines. I don't want to hear that you can keep me bust, I want to hear how I will stay busy. Maybe it makes more sense now.

I agree with you on the charity begins at home deal, but most people don't see it that way. I don't know if you have heard of the new game show called "Moment of Truth". They hook people to a polygraph and ask them 50 questions. Then when they go on tv the show has picked out 21 questions to ask...

Mike, Are you talking about with Try Hours or in general?

31 out of 40 sounds good to me.

Turtle is like trying to squeeze blood out of a turnip?

Like others have said I don't really want to hear you can keep me busy. I really want to hear how you can keep me busy. Do you run all or majority automotive freight? What kind of customers do you have? I'd also like to see earnings sheets. Another thing I'd like to hear would be driver...

I don't know if you know it or not, but I don't drive anymore. I still like to stay up to date with the industry. Mainly in case I decide to jump back in. Most people seem not to mind, or if they do they don't tell me. Plus I know a little about the industry. About enough to make me dangeorus as...

It's better to forget and think the trailer is back there when it isn't than to forget the trailer when it is there right Pelican?

I'll be honest I don't have a solution. I just don't want to see one region of the country burning another region. We've had that already. It was called Sherman's March to the Sea and he is most likely regreting that right now, but that is a different topic. Back on topic I think turning...

Al, Tempers do flare at times, but it usually doesn't get that bad. Most people just try and have a good time. It seems the last few people I remember causing problems were the drive by poster. If not on their first post maybe pretty new and get on here and flame a company pretty hard. The good...

My uncle told me once he went in a gas station to get a snack and the electricty was out. He said he got a coke and a snack and took it to the cashier. She said she couldn't sale it to him because the electricty was out. He asked would it be ok if he gave exact change. She said sure, but she...

Turtle, Are you saying they have a uphill battle on their hands? If so I have more respect for them than I did before. I don't drive for Panther, but I respect anyone that would stick their neck out for someone else. Especially someone they don't know personally most of the time. I know of one...

That's kinda what I was talking about. Looking out for one another.

OVM, You said yourself that the south had to solve their own problems. So therefore I asked you when the North has problems shoudln't you guys have to solve yourselves without our help? You made it a North/South thing.

SO when you northerners are having some kind of problem we should say oh well? It's their problem. The main areas affected which are Atlanta and the vicinty wouldn't be having the problems they are if it wasn't for enviromentalitst nut jobs, who are mainly from up north, diverting water out of...
