Sal Giunta is a true American Hero and deserves this honor. I had the pleasure of serving in Berlin with SSGT Jon R. Cavaiani, a living recipent of the Medal of Honor. After getting to know him I can understand why so few are awarded. The people who receive them are truly of a different...

I agree. And it won't go away by clicking the X.

It all depends on who you are leased on to. Both have there pluses and minuses. What works for you may not work for me.

All ready at home for the Holiday. Got to see my step son sworn into the Navy yesterday and shipped off to boot camp. Will be back in service on 11/26. Wonder if anyone will be shipping anything the day after Thansgiving?

Not sure if this is on or off topic but I got my turkey for 59 cents a pound at Publix yesterday here in Florida. I thought that was a fair price and in line with last years pricing.

I used Palmolive. It worked well. The scrub brush and pole I bought worked well too. But the scrub brush was a little to soft for serious scrubbing. I bought the slightly curved one and it was easy to get into some of the hard to reach areas. I used a hard bristle brush I already had and...

I have done the same thing. But I ask on the Quallcom and wait for a yes reply. Then when I do my next run, after the departure call I explain to the dispatcher that I was authorized to Louisville. I tell them the date and time of the QC message authorizing me to go there and ask them to send...

I should have added. My step son leaves tomorrow for basic training at the Great Lakes Naval Station. Momma is worried, but I am very proud of him for enlisting. GO NAVY!

At home in Florida. Washed the box of the truck today and installed 3 new placard holders. Still shorts and t shirt weather by day. Low 40's at night.:D

We usually get our truck washed at one of the big name places, but have been unhappy with the quality we have been getting lately. Since we are at home in sunny Florida we decided to buy a long pole and brush and do it ourselves this time. Does anyone have any advice on a detergent that will...

All of the truck stops sell seals. You can get 10 for $4 at Petro.

Our IRP plate is on the front. When I got it at the main office in Tallahassee, Fl the women there told me I only needed one and it goes on the front. But I have seen similar trucks with Florida plates on front and rear.

Stay at the railroad.

IMO, Paid training from a trucking company equals a contract for involuntary servitude. Try to get out of the contract and they will sue you. If you want a CDL A go to a good school and pay for it yourself. Sallie Mae has loans for it. If you want a CDL B you can try the self taught and study...

I don't think anyone is trying to stop you. They are not trying to keep you out of the business.They are just trying to save you from losing your house, credit, sanity, etc. You need to get a little experience before investing the kind of money you are talking. You need to learn about the...

Think about it this way. If all a fleet owner had to do was buy a truck, drop it off at the carrier and start collecting a good return on his investment wouldn't everyone be doing it? There is a lot to learn about how this business works and how to keep drivers in the truck and the wheels...

Just curious. What ever happened to the facility you were opening in SC?

What would really be nice is an interactive map on the internet. One where you could roll your pointer over an express center and see how many and what type of trucks are checked in. This info is available on the VRU but calling each express center is time consuming. Since the info is...

I was always taught respect was earned.
