If that is a GM van your driving, you will want to avoid running the fuel tank low like that, even you don't run out. The fuel pump is located inside the tank and the fuel acts as coolant for the pump. Running it low, often, will greatly decrease the life of the fuel pump. Those fuel pumps are...

This is true.

You did ok. I wasnt trying to belittle or harrass you. Ive seen your previous threads and know that your just getting started. Like you said... lessons are easier learned on here than in a parking lot with an ill-tempered driver. If thats the worst thing you do, you will be well ahead of the...

Definitely something that you need to research. T/t training programs can be pretty bad.

Figure it any way you want to... makes no difference to me. But, when he does that and the right guy comes along, he will get it explained in much better detail. I was just trying to point it out (for HIS benefit) as a newbie mistake that he shouldn't do. In my ST, I actually look for short...

I have done well as a solo st and others here have as well. If your overall plan is to get local work at some point, I would advise you to get the experience in t/t as the local options will be a lot better. With a clean driving record, you can get a job, depending on where you live, with...

I see alot of those comments myself and they are very misleading to newbies. There is, sometimes, mountains of bs to worked through before you find the real truth. There can be many reasons for this. Some just want to make it sound good, some work for a company which pays recruiting bonuses, and...

I'm sure you are unaware of this, so I'm going to tell you. Tractor/trailer drivers can have a terrible time finding a parking spot at night. I understand that your van looks cute parked among the t/t's and I understand (hope) that you may not have been there long, but please do not make a habit...

Wow, tough luck finding fuel. Now, where exactly in WV did these ladies pick you up? :D

You were legal to go straight through as long as the lift axle was up...but you didn't save anywhere near an hour...15 minutes, maybe.

So...was there a connection there that I missed? Somewhere between the big bug and the soup?

Lol.... yeah, thats the perspective of most "bad guys". Amazing how your perspective changes when the associated comraderie changes, huh?

I was supposed to read the instructions? I also noticed at a Love's today that the expressway they had in the display case had a head piece similiar to the original blueparrot. Glad I got mine before they "fixed" that flaw..lol.

Those of you who decide to buy a new headset, I strongly recommend the expressway. The battery lasts so long I rarely charge mine... maybe twice a week if I remember it. I dont think its ever went dead on me. The over-the-head piece is much more comfortable also. I have mine positioned so the...

True, you will probably have to stay out longer. IF getting home is a priority, I would look at one of the carriers who do a lot of automotive freight. Getting to south TX is not too bad of a problem. Getting a load out is really tough these days. Expediter Services has a good rep with their...

I saw this posted in the Classifieds. I thought it might get more attention with a forum post. http://www.expeditersonline.com/classifieds/category/212/Trucks-Wanted/listings/12658/STOLEN-STRAIGHT-TRUCK.html

You will love it.

Mine seems to be back in full form. Amazing little heaters.

Thats what we all have to do, for sure. This rule won't effect me too much, but I do have to push more than one button to make a call. The rest I'm probably good with. Just need to get the voice recognition set up. Is this rule in effect now? if not, when?

My espar has been a no go so far this year...until tonight. I just kept turning it on and letting it cycle. I had come to the conclusion that the fuel pump wasnt working (I couldnt hear it...even outside the truck). So, Im waiting to get loaded and decided to turn it on and get outside to see...
