    RE: headphones When I ran team there was a rule I had with my co drivers. If you are in the bunk you keep your boots in front of the passenger side seat. That way if whoever is driving stops and gets out when he gets back in he can look and see if those boots are there. If they are he can roll...

    You know what would be cool

    I'm surprised I haven't seen one. That's one of those awnings that they mount on rvs put on a straight truck. Think about it. You could roll it out break out the lawn chairs drink some fruit punch and wait on a load. Maybe even break out one of those lil grills and cook a couple of burgers or a...

    Dispatchers?

    Well I know at TranStewart we had some dispatchers who worked from from home. And one in particular really had a bad attitude. I called her on Sunday to check in and tell her my progress on my load. She started making fun of the way I talk. I asked her if she was just joking she said no you...

    RE: how can i get my B cdl without going to a truc I guess the main point I was trying to get across is driving is a small portion of the job. Learning to do logs on the fly can be costly.

    Of Interest to Van Owner-Operators

    Am I A Trucker

    Why does it matter what others say? What one person says a driver is may be totally different than what someone else says. If you ask me a real trucker is someone who operates a commercial motor vehicle in a safe and corteous manner. Just my thoughts though.

    Pallet pullers

Take a small piece of angle iron with a hole drilled thru it and put it on the bolt. Put another bolt on to hold the angle iron in place. That's a way...
