No... it's a sign that's been. Why invest $80k+ in a truck, only to be told in 5 years you have to buy another $100k+ truck? But the truck you're driving is still in great running order. I'll run my 01 century until it don't wanna run no mo, thanx. And if that means signing it on with a smaller...

Listen to Streakn! Don't let enthusiasm cloud your judgement. Make sure the contract is IRONCLAD before you sign anything. Take it to a lawyer to look over. Try to make payments directly to the lien holder, because once the seller has the money in his hands, anything can go. I have experience in...

We can only hope so. At least Senor Bush can't control how the STATE cops give tickets. If Mr Nacho could've changed the light himself, why didn't he before he got the ticket? geez $150? That's a lot of holy frajoles! Again... welcome to our world! :7 -True independence can only be gained if...

We've brought this up many times. Good discussions. There are companies that have various degrees of independance. Landstar lets you pick and choose, and find your own loads; but they have qc. Several smaller companies have no qc; but you're at the mercy of dispatch. Turtle is right... getting...

Been there, done that. 99% of the time, it's the shipper's fault. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

But isn't part of "businessman" being that you get ahead of your competition? When Highway Star and I are in the same freight zone, we are after the same freight. I would say we're competitors... but friends first. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

I see a lot of "no name" companies with no logo. Only regular name and number deals, like they're expecting not to be in business long. Name recognition is part of the game. That's why these monster companies have monster logos on their trucks, which seem to take a million years to take off when...

Excitement is driving down the road listening to the Hawks kick arse! And yelling TOUCHDOWN on the cb when they score. LOL Oh... this is an XM thread. You guys don't get that excitement. :7 -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

The magnet antenna that comes with the tuner should work fine on a metal truck with a flat top cab. If you have a high-rise cab, or a fiberglass truck, you should get an antenna. Beast Buy doesn't carry them, but most truckstops and cb shops do. Expect around $70 for one. -Vampire Super Slooth...

Jefferson... if that ain't hittin the nail on the head... ;) -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

Well... if you got the last oil change done at Speedco, there ya have it. One of them is at fault, but both are the same company. Contact corporate and let them sort it out while they're cutting you a check for repairs. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

RE: If you turn down loads ,will your company fire And which process would that be? Luck? ;) -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

That's because they've had more important news to report... like foot tapping in a men's bathroom. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

R&B... while I can understand your frustration, I can see Panther's position on this. When you dropped, you went to the bottom of the board for that area. Granted, you could've been pre-dispatched with this load. But you don't know everything that was going on at the time. How many trucks were...

I get paid off of a faxed copy. Then I just turn in the originals when I send in all my paperwork for the month. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

Well, did you lose the paperwork or did they? Pay every other week is something you should've considered before you started with them. Unfortunately, I know what you mean about fuel. It's hard to start out with a company, get paid every other week, then try to keep the tanks full. You either...

Col... is that your way of saying Cannon Fodder? -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

No one is gonna question a recap with 4 days driven out of the month. Like Highway said... skip it. I don't use recap, and don't plan on it unless I get in a serious slugging streak. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

John Edwards better worry about his hedge fund antics. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

Back to the issue... OVM... No, the sky didn't fall with Canadian drivers coming over. But you know what? When they did, we were on the same page. Made it a heckuva lot easier. The Mexicans? Are they part of IFTA? Do they have to pay the road use taxes you and I do? We've already mentioned they...
