    Waitin' for the snow!

    I never said my opinion is fact, I actually stated before it was simply my opinion. By "To many good drivers..." did you mean 2? I am telling you about people with ACTUAL experience but you just dismiss that and act like your opinion and only those users that agree with you are right. I stated...

    Federal Regulators Close Steak-Hauling Trucker

    It seems like they would be able to control 62 drivers but clearly they didn't want to otherwise they would've been down a few drivers to make a point. I just wonder in cases like this if it is truly safety related or did all these people lose their job because of the flawed CSA accident score...

    Federal Regulators Close Steak-Hauling Trucker

    I wish we had the full details with articles like these. My first question would be if those accidents were the fault of the driver or were the accidents charged under the flawed system. Then it would be nice to see the breakdown of the log violations to determine if they were actual safety...

    Some insight for a potential new team

    Have you guys decided how the driving and unloading duties will be split? Are you buying the truck together 50/50? Living in a metal box smaller than a prison cell can take a toll on any relationship. Have you considered what will happen if you guys decide it will not work? Sent from my...

    Waitin' for the snow!

    Who said anything about those speeds? We were talking about 30 vs 15 and 70 vs 55, if you are traveling at 100+ down the road in any vehicle it is unsafe. What is your problem with my opinion about automatic chains? You have done nothing but say I am wrong but provided no proof other than the...

    Waitin' for the snow!

    Have you had a chance to think about how a vehicle traveling 100% faster than another vehicle in poor visibility might have more of an issue than a vehicle traveling 21.5% faster than another vehicle in clear weather? Haven't you ever heard of the accidents that happen in blizzard, fog, or...

    Your Honest Opinion ...

    If you are just counting CV experience as expedite then I have less than a year. I never played the dispatcher game at Bolt because I never thought it would have the impact it did, my mistake. I started to see ethical issues popping up and the things I was told by the recruiter never happened so...

    Your Honest Opinion ...

    Depends on what vehicle you are talking about, some people don't count TT as expedite even though I was running expedited loads. I have been driving for several years(still do just not expedite) and I found the dispatchers were the same in different segments. They picked the drivers they liked...

    Try to check out some of the independent truckstops. Petro and TA's are typically the most popular of the chains. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

    Your Honest Opinion ...

    There are a few companies that will regularly call you about loads to TX. If you consistently turn them down the next time a load comes up and it is between you and a guy that makes them more money they may pass you over to keep their earners happy. If you were in an interview for a regular job...

    Your Honest Opinion ...

    I said a LITTLE unrealistic not impossible. If a person is trying to limit themselves before they even get started then they aren't starting out with business in mind. I would say there is a lot of money being lost if you are not willing to go to TX, IA, MN, MO, CA, AR, or NV and companies may...

    Your Honest Opinion ...

    Staying east of the Mississippi is a little unrealistic for most companies and especially for Bolt since they have a cross dock in Laredo. If you want to stay that far east because you want to be home often then you should only get in the expediting business for fun and not income. Sent from my...

    If the DUI went on his record as a misdemeanor then he may need a Ministries Permit depending on his situation. I have a link saved I will post later when I get back in the truck that goes over the requirements. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

    Will this help Romney?

    I don't think it will, those in the middle are sick of free loaders and when they vote they have the opportunity to express that feeling privately. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

    Will this help Romney?

    When the country is down you need a president that is the tough talking, take charge kind of guy. He will ruin his opportunity to become that kind of leader because he is worried he will lose if he does. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

    My son and his new authority t/t

    Just make sure he is not bidding to low. Some guys get the idea that they were making $1.80/mile at company ABC so now that is the rate they bid at when they go out on their own. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

    Will this help Romney?

    My opinion on it is I like what he is saying because it is to the point. There is no dancing around the possibility he might hurt someone's feelings which is what politicians normally do. This is the type of speech that would more likely get him support because you can tell it is honest and how...

    Waitin' for the snow!

    They are not approved for all the states with chain laws, yet. They seem to get great reviews and have the advantage of being attached to the tire. The biggest complaint seems to be that they do not last long enough. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums
