RVers are the reason I quite using Flying J period. They care more about them than they do truckers. Them RVs really scare me on the highway. Most of them people have no business driving a vehicle of that size anyway, plus all it takes is enough money/credit to buy one and you are permited to...

I like the one where a guy goes into a McDonalds with a ski mask on tells the cashier he wants all the money in her register. She gives it to him he takes it and he leaves. The next day he comes back in with the ski mask on and tells the same cashier at the same register to give him all the...

You said your husband was a driver, have you all thought of teaming in a straight truck? With no more t/t experience than you have I see very few companies letting you on there, but I believe quite a few would let you in a straight truck if your husband was there with experience in driving to...

Maybe you found a good customer that will keep your wheels turning. No offense to you, but getting that deal so easily kinda makes you wonder why some of these big outfits are having such a hard time finding new customers and trucks are sitting all over the place empty.

You would think people would be fed up by now. I've been reading a book about organic agriculture. It's pretty good actually. The author goes through all the ins and outs off growing products and marketing and selling them close to home. Anyway. The chapter I am on now deals with communication...

Since the truck I would be getting would most likely be ran solo I would outfit it with that in mind. I'd get what I needed to get the job done. Since it would be just me and I wouldn't be gonna stay out for 3 months at a time I would get most likely get a Class 8 (for durabilty) with the...

piper, The problem is people don't think about long term anymore. They are just concerned with the here and now, and how things affect them. Who cares if it costs someone on the other side of the country their job type mentality. It's sad. People want a good bargain for the moment and don't...

If things were to get near as bad as they were in the 30s I think the suicide rate would skyrocket. Most people in this country have never been through any kind of hardships. Most are used to having every thing they need plus a bunch of stuff they want. I know one person in particular who spends...

Well I used to listen to the cb for the simple fact I have a sick sense of humor I guess, and would laugh at much of those guys stupidity. What always burned me though was anytime I would try to have a decent conversation with someone there would be somebody cussing us out for talking on 19...

When you say 2 axle truck do you mean single drive axle and a steer axle or 2 drives? Just curious. I think for down payment you would most likely need at least 10% to put down. At least that is what I was told when I was in the market for a truck. Of course you know the more you put down the...

or 2. haha

I know what you're going through. I had to come off the road a little over a year ago myself. I had little money set back. There is life after trucking. I found the being home everyday a little hard to settle into, but now I kinda enjoy it. Just hang in there. Something will come up. Maybe you...

The biggest question is how much are you shipping? Until that is know it will be hard to give an answer. Just to let you know shipping it expedite is going to cost more than going with a truckload company that has refers if you are shipping that much, I would think.

That's powerful.

Them long nose pete E units don't get the 8-10 or more mpg that a aerodynaic d unit does. People that buy those trucks usually buy them for the classic looks not fuel economy. My dad's got an old freightshaker that does good to get 4 mpg. Needless to say he doesn't run it much. It's in excellent...

What I don't understand is the fact that they tell you to make sure the rate is in accordance with your contract, but it's subject to change for if the customer has another deal worked out with the company. It seems to me like if the company wants to cut the rate they should take the cut not the...

Ken I understand what you mean about truckers not being able to attend the meeting the way the farmers can. Remeber I've worked on the farm and drove trucks. Its real easy for me to see both sides, because I've been on both sides. The farmers do something that isn't possible in the trucking...

RE: Someting New On The truck I put up there was one I randomly selected from Truckpaper. Before I posted on here about I would have the oil tests done and I would have a mechanic that I know and trust check it out. If either one of those didn't check out good there would be no reason to post...

Ft. Wayne you are way off there. How does forgery equal murder? He signed someone else's name so he will most likely kill next? That's a weird logic you have there bub.

Kangar, Pulling it out without the intent to use it could be the biggest mistake you could ever make. You pull that bat out and you could scare a guy who was just going to talk trash then all the sudden he feels he's on the defense, and attacks before you can attack him. Of course all of that...
