RE: hey louixo~ Here's a thought provoking questi I was waiting for a joke about PAPS... geez :P For that one I'll give you a PAPS Blue Ribbon. ;)

RE: Fox..who needs it? How do you get Seattle? Do you have satellite? Do you get the Seahawks by chance? If so, the misses and I are moving to Mississauga hehehe :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7

RE: How long do you wait before switching companys I know... what's another month? You could wait and switch over in the middle of the low period and not know if it's better than your current company or not. Or, you could go to this new company and get an idea of what to expect when freight...

RE: How long do you wait before switching companys He's not saying he had a rough week... he had a rough first month. I believe if a company has a problem giving their newbies some miles in the first month, you can see worse later on. I understand it's slower in December, but he is talking...

Lawrence, did you see Bush's speech in Halifax the other day? He was bold enough to quote Mackenzie King. Even the stick-in-the-muds on The National gave him kudos. He and Martin have come a long way in repairing the damage Chretien caused. I still wonder why Canada has a negative view of...

RE: Has a Dispatcher ever said anything rude to yo Redytrk... what I read was a threat that if Sharp plays by the rules, he'd get his INCOME taken away. That, in my opinion, IS an A**hole!!! It is dispatchers with that attitude that are the reason most dispatching areas have plexiglass around...

Redytrk, I have absolutely no probs with Sprint phone service. Not to mention that I've heard from many ppl (and experienced it) that they have the best range out there. I can't say alot about FlyingJ's wifi either. I'm thinking of going with sprint for their wifi and be done with looking for a...

Well... I turned down a truck, so I'm working on financing one that costs alot less. I'll find out Monday. <crossing fingers> As far as the company, Express-1 gave me the go ahead only because I've been with them. I had to get permission from the head dispatcher, believe it or not :7 I think...

That was an excellent article, Lawrence. Most Canadians, including my inlaws, don't give a rat's behind about how credible a candidate is in our country, they just want someone more liberal. Well, little do they know that since we've had a Republic president in office, their money has gotten...

You could try Epes as a company. They're located down by you in Morristown, TN. They might have company trucks.

I don't see how anyone can call this guy an owner/operator when he's not operating. Everyone is right though... if you have that much patience, you're half way to becoming a successful expediter. Personally, I couldn't stand driving with someone who's yearning for his next swill of grog :(...

Personally, I'm surprised this scumbag wasn't sacked!!! I think you'll probably make it... just do exactly the opposite of what he's done. ;)

I can find a 34', though I'll probably hafta change the suspension. Do you know how much it would cost to shorten a 48? Seems like quite a bit.

NoProblem... I see at least 3 things wrong. First, you tell everyone you deadheaded 250 miles for a 100 mile run. That was your call, and you should've always known it was yours to eat. You were told in orientation to get out of Missouri towards the freight zone. Second is that a run like that...

Sarkus...very simple about that 155 mile run... don't take it. Tell them you need something with more miles and less dh. Or, better yet, ask them to pay your dh miles as loaded since no one else will take it. If you're running for Express-1, their dispatchers usually have some room to negotiate...

not bad for a first week... keep on learnin n earnin :D btw... you got my damn truck ;)

NoProblem, I know which company your ran with from your post, and I can say things don't sound right. The way you explain it, did the company ASK you to go 293 miles to Indy, or did you go most of that deadhead on your own? I know that chances are, they have more than one truck in Indy... and no...

Leo, how much does get loaded.com cost? They won't tell you on their site unless you start to sign up. How often do you use it? Does Express-1 get mad if you do? I see your point in using it though... as there are times you're stranded way outta the zone and no NLM can be found. If we had some...

RE: Are there any cpmpanies that dont require hasm There was a post on this subject about a month ago. The guy who posted it is now my co-driver, and we're with Express-1. They don't do hazmat at all, and it feels good not having to worry about it. Seems those placards are weirdo magnets :P

DJ...that is fine! I was just telling my wife about my idea for a hotshot hooked up to a pup when I scrolled down to your last post. Can a hotshot be fixed to carry a regular fifth wheel? That would be a seriously awesome idea since there are no length violations, and you'd live like trucking...
