    Missing woman !

    From the article it looks like she just wants to be gone. They have said there is no foul play suspected and that she deactivated her Facebook page. She is 22 and apparently capable of taking care of herself so the police aren't really involved. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

    truck stop questions

    There really is no rhyme or reason to this other than the driver feels that is the best place to get the next load or they are resting after delivery. You can always look through the locations thread and find the "hot spots". It never seemed to matter where I stopped, there was always another...

    Bolt

    I was doing well and I had an average of $1.12/mile all miles and I believe it was $1.28/mile loaded. I posted this before and I had no trouble recommending Bolt before the decline. It just got to a point where it was run for less or pay them for the privilege of being signed on with them. Your...

    I used to have fun drinking and "partying" but I let that part of my life go as I got a little older and matured. I haven't had a drink in over a year and haven't been drunk in several years. The last couple of times I was just having a good time celebrating with my brother when he got back from...

    truck stop questions

    You might better off staying away from other vans especially if they are from the same company. The most likely spot to find others is a chain truck stop or WalMart but there usually isn't a favorite Pilot or TA. There are a couple of exceptions to that like the Pilot in Rising Fawn, GA has a...

    Bolt

    When you get to the point where it is that load or a negative paycheck because of the fees you have a tough call. I decided making some money was better than going in debt. I had 1 week where my check was $3.13 after the fees because I only had 1 short trip. My home time was limited to 3 weeks...

    Big Thanks to EO Community

    There are some things that are done on the phone but the actual pickup and delivery info is done by a message at larger carriers. When you go to orientation at your chosen company I would ask them if they could leave a message in the system about your situation so that dispatchers know from the...

    Bolt

    I really don't mean to just slam Bolt but I am disappointed because they could be a great company. I think they have lost their way and forgotten who they are and who will keep them going. They decided to focus on growth and are determined to become the size of Panther. They have the opportunity...

    Bolt

    They will raise it usually by $50 and I was told no when I asked for $100 because I wanted at least $1/mile to go to Minnesota from Tennessee. I'm not sure if those increases are the same for you guys on the ST. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

    Bolt

    Things have changed a lot there even in the short time I was there I noticed a downward slide. I was doing very well with my per mile rate but it dropped considerably as the only load offers would be for .75/mile on Friday after getting nothing all week. The dispatch crew isn't very steady...

    Bolt

    I went back to driving TT for a company called Cutts Specialized Transportation running an RGN. I was with Bolt for 7-8 months and they were a good company in the beginning but their fees went up and the rates went down. I had one offer to go to Laredo for .42/mile. My average per mile rate...

    Bolt

    There are better companies out there, I wouldn't risk my future on them. They reach deep into your pockets for income and I think they are rather dishonest. I'm still waiting on my escrow to be returned which they said I should have on Monday so I will see if they are able to handle this with...

    Giants or Patriots

    I think if the Giants win it will be by less than 6 but if the Patriots win it will be by more than 10. My guess is the Giants will win because of their defense. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

    Canada Contracting with DTG

    It's an older thread but I am sure they are still ripping people off. You have to love how people use terms that they think matter to drivers like "in touch". The rebuttal by the father on that site was as fake and disingenuous as the one here. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums

    Hello again...

    It could be a good idea if you have plenty in savings to cover the potential issues that come up. Sent from my ADR6400L using EO Forums
