I am pleased to finally see that mug on this site.My wife and I have known Terry and Renee since 1989 when we both ran for Roberts Express. We first met up with them in TN when we were dispatched on a load that our 1986 Mercedes Benz 1117 with 170 HP could not carry due to the weight.This...

Bacteria and mold which can grow a fungus can build up on your shower shoes. Best thing to do is when you are ready to put your socks on is to spray your feet and shoes with a alcohol solution.This will eliminate any type of fungus that might grow on your slippers or feet.

I think it's best if we lock this post down, started out ok ,getting into a urinating contest.LOL:D

Sad story Bob,but we have heard it before on both sides of the fence. I agree with Teryy that a formal agreement, signed by both parties ,witnessed by a notary public would help out both sides. It should clearly state what is expected of you as a driver,such as load acceptance %,availibilty...

I have a neighbor and her brother signed on with PAM (Penny a mile? Transport.He received all of his training for his class A CDL through them Then he said it was like indentured sevitude for 18 months.If he quit he had to repay lots of bucks. They gave him all the trash runs that other drivers...

Hey Mr A Team,a while back on your Expediters Life Style article you said in one case that you stayed in a Super Market Parking lot till they closed. That sounds like private property to me similar to Walmart...}>

They give actual cash back,when you are elgible for $100.00 they send you a check.There is a $300.00 maximun per year that they will refund back..

Hi My Name is Mary,RichM,s wife. In my opinion the Flying J's are the best showers available from the big three,Flying J,Pilot,and Petro. I think the best time frame is between 11AM and 3 PM, at that time they usually have showers available. I like the Flying J because they seem to have the...

Dave you are 100 % correct,thanks.

Another problem that could be, is if your air bags are not holding pressure ,on a panic stop the rear axle could lock up and if you hit a bump the box would go up and slam back down on the springs etc.

The end of June is upon us and I was wondering how everyone has fared with the new rules. Personally they have helped me and hindered me. Running Team which I do about 75% of the time is no problem because we always ran 5 on/5 off. The 34 hour restart is great.You can take a weekend off and go...

Glen gives good advice,just draw a line on your log book for when and where you buy fuel,even if it's less then 15 minutes,indicate it.Where I live there is a sleaze bag lawyer on TV about 6 times a day telling prospective clients "If you have been injured in a truck accident contact me". You...

Sounds like Big Brother to me.I think it is ilegal as you are a so called independent contractor. Don't use the com card and they can't check you. There are many credit card offers out that give anywhere from 3-5% rebate back on fuel purchases. We use a CTI ( Cti Bank),gives 5% back on fuel,3%...

As the truck is loading you may hear air hissing into the bags.This is normal as the weight increases they require more pressure to maintain the ride. They generally fill from one of the holding tanks which in turn gets resupplied from the compressor.\But since you quit this guy, which sounds...

What is the empty weight and how are the axles set up?Does it have a durable floor and what would the GVW be?

I am pretty sure you have a leak.When the truck sits all night without the engine running do you still have air pressure in the AM? The purge valve in the Air Dryer is notorious for giving problems,I have gone through about 3 of them and carry a spare with me. Does it leak air with no load on...

I have a roll up rear door and always keep the lock on and have a load bar set up in the rear of the box. This makes sure Evil K can!t get into the box until I unlock the door and remove the e track load bar.That way if I have to I can drop the landing gear before Evil and his 12,000 lb fork...

The most difficult to secure load I have ever has was a radar nose cone for a Lockheed 1011 plane. We loaded out of Piachio AZ above Tuscon at one of those airplane parking lots for delivery to Miami. This thing was perfectly smooth and round with no way to secure any straps around it. We...

Maybe it should be a CDL requirement that all Female drivers demonstrate that they can change a transmission.LOL My other half can easily take the transmission to a changeable situation.

You could also try the Air Freight Companies at your local airport. They might be able to use you on a Saturday to do local deleiveries. I don't mean the big guys but look for the smaller oufits.Putting a cap on your pickup would be helpful.
