We are dumb truck drivers.Being in a tractor trailer and taking a load that makes you 100 lbs over gross,or in a cv that makes you 100 lbs over gross.The fine for being over gross wont even come close to the little difference in revenue you have generated hauling that load.

Many years ago,Roberts express took one of their dry box trailers and converted it to a reefer.trailer number was 007.It had plywood walls,and they blew styrofoam insulation behind the plywood.This trailer didn't hold temp very well.If your buying a unit with plywood walls,run as fast as you...

It use to be you could do a safe driving class and make your ticket disapeer.You still can,but not with a CDL.I suggest call the prosecuter in the town you got the ticket and see if there is a way to get out of it,like in a plea bargin.That ticket could be hard on your driving career. If you get...

I've always liked a % contract,but it has one draw back.If the company is giving discounts,on percebtage,your pay becomes less.Usually on mileage,your already getting a lower rate,so the company can haul freight for less.

This isn't about trusting this shop,but about being cheeted.You already said that you have respect for the employees,it's the cost of the work your having trouble with.If I already know there is going to be an issue,because I'm bringing the parts to fix my truck, this is to save time or the...

dead head to houston be much closer

Was told last night,that the reason no one is moving from Laredo,the bridge across the Rio Grande,is messed up,so the freight is stuck across the border,and isn't released for shipping

Those non expedite runs are the ones with the bigger discounts.Over the years I've found,even though the garage may cost more per hour,in the long run,they take less time to do the work,therefore bottom line ,I've paid less to have the job done.This isn't true all the time,but many times.The...

my experience,what I've found,a truck in motion will sometimes get dispatched,as they are ready to go,as a truck sittiing may be in the truck stop not actually ready to go

I one time went to my friendly auto dealer,and bought this car I thought I had to have.The salesman wanted to know if I was going to get my own loan,or would he do it for me.I told him I was paying cash.He stopped for a minuet,then said he had to talk with his manager to see if cash was ok.I...
