The crazy thing is they sit in prison for 15 years before thier execution date, and don't start worrying about an appeal until the last minute.

I think you are missing my point Greg. The point I was making was I think it's bs that we have to allow someone from out of town to come in our town only to cause problems. If it was hometown people that would be different because the people would know who is who and then they can take it out on...

Then when we talked on the phone I would ask the details on pay, how often settlements come in, could my wife ride from time to time, and the like. This like anyother business. It never ceases to amaze me how people come in this business with no experience, but they do have demands. Honestly I...

Me and some friends were wanting to start a union or some kind of organization to look out for the agricultural workers, but not after how I seen other organizations turn out. We where discussing this while working at a grainery that refuesed to provide us with restroom facilites. Our bathroom...

I want to add one thing. I have nothing against people from the North coming down for a visit. Heck I don't care if they move down here. I love it in Arkansas so I can understand why others would. My deal is this. I grew up in a town that was founded by Nathan Bedford Forrest. For those of you...

Col, Here is how I would reply to your ad. I have 3 years of general otr truck driving experience. I also have one year of expedite experience plus 3 years of driving farm trucks to the rice mill in high school. I have a Class A CDL with Hazmat endorsement. I have flatbed experience as well. I...

I'll be honest I'm tired of people coming down south and stirring the pot up and then running back home. If I offend someone oh well. It's not just blacks it's whites to. You have NAACP people coming down from Chicago,Detriot,New York and KKK coming down from Ohio, Indiana, and West Virginia and...

Churchmouse, Terrryandrene told me that to lease on with FedEx Custom Critical a CDL C with Hazmat endorsement was required. They also seem to think that some the smaller carriers want require the CDL. Hope that helps at least a lil.

Sam Walton would have a coronary if he could see what his little 5 and Dime store has turned into today. He wouldn't be proud that his business was running other businesses out of town. That's his kid's doings. Sam Walton watched his business grow, but he was a humble man. He died living in a...

I refuse to shop at wal mart. Not while there is a lil guy in town. I try to do all my business with the small business owners in the community. That's how you build your community up, but people don't seem to care about that anymore.

Panther says on thier ad that they hire for cargo vans with no cdl required, but I would suggest at least getting the Class C and Hazmat so your options would be open in that field. Now on the dot physical part I don't know, but I do know that most carriers offer them at the oreintation. I'll...

Rich, You wanna know what's so funny about that? I had a similar thing happen to me at the Chrysler Plant in Sterling Hts. What's even more funny is the whole way there from mississippi dispatch kept calling me and checking on my progress then when I got there I had to wait 4 hours to unload.

RE: What's the next move for a Newbie with Class B You can also look under the team driver wanted ads. Maybe make a few calls and see what you can find. As far as I know Landstar Express America is the only carrier that requires experience for a cargo van or straight truck.

Honestly I think the system is messed up from the top to the bottom.

Is the freezer section not big enough to hold a regular ice cube tray? On that freighshaker you can take a steak(or any piece of meat for that matter) wrap it in foil and put it between the header pipe and motor and have a nice treat. Just don't leave it on there to long or it will get dry.

I wouldn't miss out on a load because they were on strike. If they damage your vehicle they would be held liable. It's not they are above the law just because they are on strike. Another thing to. The steel workers aren't a whole lot better that the auto workers. They'll sit around and not start...

RE: What's the next move for a Newbie with Class B Well you could post an ad here under the drivers available section. See if anyone would be willing to take you under thier wing and train you. It's always worth a shot.

I was at a Ford plant in Avon Lake, OH. Waiting to get unloaded. I'd been there maybe 30 mins and they hadn't even started on me. I saw a guy just sitting on a fork lift doing nothing and asked him what the hold up was. He said the guy that unloaded the trucks at the door I was at was in a...

Well I guess I'm about to step on some toes, but oh well. I know I haven't been on this site very long, but I sure do hear alot of talk about people and thier big sleepers. Nothing wrong with that. Because I know most of you worked for it, and earned it so I hope you enjoy it. You very rarely...

My stepdad was the union. The IBEW, which is for electrical workers. They never had a strike in Memphis. They worked under a no strike clause. The funny thing about is they go on strike then when their plant gets shut down and sent to Mexico they'll wonder why and want to cry about it. Those UAW...
