My main thing is to increase my profit margin, and one of the ways I think I can do that is by cutting down on the deadheading. I used to just pack it in and head home at the end of the week if nothing was available, but now that I have my authority, I can at least take something cheap to cover...

I have never really had trouble sleeping during the day. I used to work third shift and had to sleep during the day all the time with neighbors mowing their lawns and what not. I think driving all night is the best sleep aid there is. By the time I deliver in the morning, I can't get to the...

I'm curious here. I recently got my authority and I've been running a mixture of loads, some from the carrier I'm leased to and some on my own. The loads I've been getting on my own have been from www.getloaded.com, but I'm curious what other load boards are out there where expedite loads can...

If you get through Cincinnati, Trailines on Windisch Rd in West Chester has just about anything you would need as well. I bought most of my stuff there.

I had a pretty warm week last week. I left home in Cincinnati and went to McAllen, TX. Got a run up to Dallas, then a load out of Ft. Worth going to Jackson, MS. Hung out in Jackson for a day and did a short one up to Memphis. Then I got one out of Memphis to Bowling Green, KY. I deadheaded...

I have had a couple slow weeks, but for the most part I've been doing pretty well recently. I think a lot of this business is being in the right place at the right time, or being willing to relocate to the right place. I live in Cincinnati, which is a darn good place to be for getting loads...
