    New Load-1 Driver

    Nah... just sign up and go....figure it out later :) Actually, the OP says he has been in the business for 12 years. He probably don't need his hand held no more.

    Bypass the bypass - Atlanta

    Actually what your saying is the reverse of what the OP said and is more in line with my statement. If you go THROUGH Atlanta instead of around it, you will save some miles and time, but you will give up some of that saved time in traffic compared to the loop...generally. I've been through...

    Dock time?

    Most of the time..1/2 hr or less. Sometimes an hour. One thing that you will get every once in a while is a shipper who orders the truck and is loading it directly off the production line. They want to get as much as they can on the truck before it leaves. I have had some long waits before for...

    What Can I Use To Heat Inside Of Cargo Van ?

    Personally, I would put my effort into finding and owner who is serious enough about his equipment and drivers to have these problems worked out before hand...just sayin

    It's Jan 2 and I thought we would be busy....

    It was good seeing all of you. Happy you got "the star" talked into coming along. I'm amazed he made it through a night on Beale :D What's the best part? I can stay home now until he gets out of Memphis...lol. No need for me to be in service till he's gone..lol.

    Children and "home school"

    I think Dave's got it right. Definitely not the best choice, but in hard times it might be the only choice for some. Seems like it would take a special mindset to do it (for the right reasons) and do a good job of it.

    It's Jan 2 and I thought we would be busy....

    Thursday and Friday were the days when you might have got lucky and got a load. Today's chances were only slightly better than sat and sun which were very close to zero.

    Anyone see this? trucker hit with 31,000 dollar over weight ticket

    This will probably be closer to the real outcome of this ticket. I had a friend who had an overweight fine in Missouri, situation similiar to what Moose described. I think his fine was something like $6k or $8k and the judge reduced to $300 or so.

    Winter wipers on a Sprinter

    I ordered a couple sets myself. I have a question for the people who have experience with the slushbusters. Do you install them so that the wiper hits them at angle (the contact points starts at one end and transfers through to the other end) or do you have them so that they make full...

    Question about truck stop showers

    Since im single and a solo driver this can be an issue for me as well. If there is a nice looking female shower attendant, I just ask her. If that option is not available, I sometimes ask on the cb if any lady drivers would like to scrub my back for me in the shower. If neither of those two...

    how shopping for van stuff ends in detainment>?

    He is young and he wasn't thinking. Nothing new about that. I did some stuff at that age that wouldnt have looked good on a background check either, but for the most part I, like this kid, was not a troublemaker. He just needs to see this as what it is...or could be and do what damage control he...

    how shopping for van stuff ends in detainment>?

    Here's the deal. Nobody on this site can be judge and jury, we don't know what happened exactly. At best, we've heard one side. MX, your young and we understand that. What you need to understand is that most of us are old enough to understand what this charge could do to your future. Most...
