    Knoxville - Great turn out!

    The best people to learn from usually have different experiences so that they have the real life experience to guide others.

    Refusing to cooperate with Border Patrol

    It says they are legal and the agent can ask the questions but of course you don't have to answer.

    Chicago Politics Or Just Politics?

    I have seen this reported in a number of places and not just Newsmax. Is this just the normal political game or Chicago politics? I think it might be a little of both if the threats went to far as this guy claims. http://www.newsmax.com/US/woodward-obama-threats-press/2013/02/28/id/492554

    Carrier cutting rates

    It isn't a surprise given the CEO said he planned to make big money, that usually isn't done by treating the little guy fairly. It is a really horrible thing to do to drivers when you have increased your revenue considerably. I can't picture people staying there at those rates especially when...

    How will the New Hours of Service Rules Provisions affect your O/O business?

    I have a feeling the drivers would police themselves now, of course there will be the occasional idiot but that happens now. The biggest challenge the driving industry faced was empowering the driver to say no to the company. That hurdle was overcome because of government regulations and unions...

    how to find car carrier driver

    How old is the equipment? Most experienced guys seem to buy their own truck or work for a company with newer trucks and benefits. You can still find dependable hard working drivers for older equipment. I have 4-5 years of experience driving a truck and I am driving an older truck now and would...

    Expedite With Tractor and Pup Trailer?

    That is a huge benefit I forgot about plus I think ST drivers are more professional and more likely to take care of the equipment. Of course that statement is a generalization and opinion but is based on my experience. The fact that you are more likely to end up with a H/W team can mean less...

    How will the New Hours of Service Rules Provisions affect your O/O business?

    The 30 minute break will be the biggest issue and will likely be the one "worked around" the most. If making some adjustments to a log book is the difference between getting a load delivered that day or the next it will be a tough call. You can be sure there will also be a lot of 16 or 17 minute...

    Lower operating costs, lower maintenance costs, usually a larger sleeper, easier to drive, more parking options, and I know I haven't listed everything.

    Mifi or boingo?

    If you take a look at their coverage map it may have worked well for the route you were on or for someone that lives in a big city but I'm not sure it is adequate for a driver. http://www1.virginmobileusa.com/coverage/prepareCoverage.do

    Hard to believe

    Not to mention the amount of food stamps and welfare that gets used on cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs.
