That's what I was thinking or they can just short belt it if it is all one belt and roll down the road with the windows down. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

Make a piece out of plywood that fits the window, it has been used by some here and works for them. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

Quick stop in Terre Haute on my way to Trotwood, OH. The load showed up over a day late but there is a lot of extra time on this load. I am thinking I will try to get into GM a little early, well 24 hours early. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

I mentioned the on duty not driving because he is subtracting time from an 11 hour time instead of 14. I can't think of more than a handful of times that I spent more than 15 minutes for a fuel stop in the 2and a half years that I drove a truck. A lot of it comes down to proper trip planning...

Why would you take time to eat and fuel from your driving time? You would log that under the extra 3 hours as off duty or on duty not driving. A stop doesn't mean you lose a minimum of 15 minutes, it depends on the time you stop. If you were to stop at a rest area to get a drink out of your...

Chicken butt? Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

If a driver is getting paid 25% of the load that is a good paying job. Think about it even if you are on a low paying load of $1.50 a mile the driver gets .37 a mile, when I was driving northeast regional I was getting .38. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

All aboard!!! I know Mary Peters(hehe I wonder if she knows Weiner) tried to do this as well that's why I was thinking the timing of LaHood pushing it through now was related to the election. They do it now so that the average voter has already forgotten when the polls open and you just took...

Just an idea that comes to mind in the 106 degree Laredo heat. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

You have fair warning this is a conspiracy theory, I warn you because I really think people reach to far and it annoys me. My theory involves the whole Mexican truck issue, I was wondering why they did this now since LaHood just kind of jammed it through, it could've been done at a later date...

Hahaha funny you should use this as an example it shows you are talking out of one of your parts that uses a toilet, try a little research if you don't understand it. As far as warehouse jobs going away why are companies going to cross dock now when they can pay a lower rate to a Mexican driver...

Now that you know about them it is to late but you could have done a search in the old forums and saved $20. I fell for it too before I figured it out on here, at least it was not my most expensive mistake. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

If you can't figure out one reason to be worried you are completely oblivious or you just like to take the opposing view in any debate you can. You are telling me you can't see the number of people that will lose their jobs, not only drivers but all the warehouse workers as well. Posted with my...

I loved the weekly reader, I always looked forward to it. I think it is something that gets kids interested in the news and to pay attention to the world outside. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

Still in sunny Laredo, its great when dispatch tells you a load will be at your yard by a certain time and you go to check if it made it and the guy here says it won't be in until tonight or tomorrow morning. It could be worse for me, these Panther ST are 6 deep just at the TA. Posted with my...

I know he locked up the brakes but that doesn't mean you can just eliminate all medical issues. I think it is possible he was distracted but there are still other possibilities out there including a possible issue with the gates, maybe they do work but do not leave enough time for a loaded truck...

That is the coolest turtle ever. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

The most important thing about getting opinions from drivers about companies is to get details. When I was a truck driver I was told not to work for a company because they are a bunch of a--holes, the guy was right I couldn't stand any of the office personnel they all had terrible attitudes...

It is going to happen pretty soon, a lot of people in my generation(I'm 31) have had enough already. I don't agree with him 100% but if you look at who is fueling the Ron Paul agenda it is made up of a lot of young people. My brothers and I were talking about it and we find it ironic that The...
