    charging lap top

    One thing I learned the hard way a few years ago is that even when your in a hurry, you need to shut down your laptop and give it time to shutdown. I was closing the lid too quick and it would go into hibernate instead of shutting down. That allows the hard drive to keep spinning as I understand...

    Van down

    Fuel pump went out on my '02 Tahoe. I didn't have any help where I'm living now so I called a tow truck. He told me that it happens alot that when he drops 'em off at the shop, they'll run after being bounced around on the truck. It was after hours when all this happened so i had family drop...

    What Truck stop do you use.

    I like Petro for fuel and service. I don't think I have ever had work done at a TA that I was completely happy with. I have used Petro quite a bit for simple repairs and have usually been happy with their work.

    Can a Cargo Van Team make a living?

    VERY few things in life are free. You are new to this business and have your cart well ahead of your horse. I would suggest leasing to a carrier and let them find loads for you until you learn the ropes a little better. Freight is tough to come by right now even for the heavy hitters. I...

    the LNG trucks are coming

    I love the idea. We have a lot of natural gas in the US. But to make any major impact I believe we will not a lot more than 60 or 70 locations. They have to start somewhere and this is as good as any. If they do outfit EVERY flyingJ and Pilot it would be a good start.

    Home time

    It's nice to see someone who we can all give a positive response to. Sometimes it seems like we are trying to discourage people from the industry, but we are usually just seeing a problem with the situation or in the newbie's expectations. Your expectations are within reason. You have enough...

    here ya go you guys 1 for everyone

    I have a friend who use to own a cap and t-shirt business. He and his wife drive for Fedex White Glove now. He has a couple cool trucker designs that he has made. He never pursued the t-shirts. I think he's just kind of burnt out on that business. I'll ask him about it. I know he sold the...

    Sorry, can't take it any more

    No, I think that in an open forum your going to get a wide range of abilities to express one's self. I think that if you want to read what someone has to say, you need to have the ability and the patience to forgive them for small grammatical and spelling errors like the one's that are being...

    something to think about.

    I think he's a good kid. I like picking on him though :D He seems to take it well. A positive attitude and an ability to roll with punches are two personality traits that will help a person alot in this industry and in life. For the life of me though, I just cannot understand why he wants to...

    Sorry, can't take it any more

    I've got an even better idea. How about I/we type it and you have a choice... read it or don't read it. That works for me.

    Cupcake... you sure do a lot of complainin. MXZane and I have been discussing this trick for getting loads. Whatcha gotta do is park on the fuel island, run around the truck 8 times in your underwear waving a machete and doing some kind of chant (you'll have to ask Zane about the chant). Give it...

    Shore Power

    That set up looks like the one I saw in NC. Their website doesn't show a location where I thought I saw it though. From what I could find on their site, it looks like they charge $1.17/hr. That's not as bad as I thought. It is $28/24hrs though.
