this was far from the worst,maybe shouldn't bring them up,buut last friday night was in Motel 6 in Lewisville Tx.Sat morning when leaving,noticed a roach also walking out the door.While checking out,mentioned this to the manager,of which he appologised and gave me a voucher for a free stay at...

Yes, OVM my way of thinking has changed drastically,at least for now.I still won't down FED EX,I'm still not happy with my loosing my lease,but,but in the long run,I'm much better off since it happened.

Be even cooler if we could instant message

Now I'm confused.I always took my dispatches over my cell phone,at home or on the road.I sure didn't need to read my C link to find out if the load being offered was good or bad.As far as the C link being turned off when I was home,It really didn't matter. So now you have one that went from FDCC...

If you were under your own authority,then you could partner with more than 1 company,but would Panther,or any other company let you lease to them and another at the same time.I don't think so.

I was on for almost a year pulling mostly Pfizer loads.Believe me,there wasn't anything cheap about those loads.Sure the security thing was a pain,but was not a problem with the revenue we were taking in. After FDCC lost Pfizer,and not just to E1,the easy money from the medicine loads was really...

What wasn't stated in this senario,there should have been down time paid for all the time the truck has been out of service.This downtime should equal the average revenue the truck has made for the 90 day period before the accident.I just hit a deer myself,as most people here know,my truck was...

Some solos driving tractors may have trouble making 10k/month.A solo has to have a limited amount of dead head to do that kind of revenue,unless they are on a flat rate all miles paid contract.As you all know,expedite is flooded with D units in all the companies.Between competition between all...

don't anyone think it was me,cause it wasn't

which would you rather do,sit and complain that you arten't being loaded,or dead head a couple hundred miles and keep the money flowingkof course if the loaded miles suck,or money per loaded mile doesnt fit the bill,might just as well stay home

well fri 13th changed my luck.Put new turbo charger on truck this past week end,went back in service on Monday and had 5 good loads cancel.Tuesday morning get woke up with load to new jersey,on way get a pre dispatch that I turned down,and then Tuesday afternoon get an offer that just had to...

back in the 80's,there use to be a hooker that hung out at the Petro in Bordentown,at least 6' 12 " tall,she could walk in front of a COE truck and look in the windshield

theres an up side,you get downtime eithout buying fuel,I got 4900 buks for 8 days

True expedite loads happen 'cause someone screws up.Thats why most of them get offered late in the afternoon,meaning your goimg to run all night for next morning delivery.
