Best spot I've found in a truckstop is the corner. Grass at the back and side. Next is grass at back and empty trailer on a side. Gives those tired rookies half their normal chance to bang into my truck. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

All comes down to greed. If you don't like the rules, go somewhere else. Wanna see more rules? Become an employee. They'll be sorry if they win. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

I don't know... regular potato chips? Sometimes, if I don't have hotdog buns, I cook up hotdogs and dip em in hot sauce. I dip cheese sticks in hot sauce too. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

Stuff that ppl need. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

The Rand McNally atlas has just about every phone number you'll need. I would check that before going with dispatch. If they end up missing something, you'll get the ticket. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

Been an o/o before, under a lease-purchase. To put it kindly, it didn't work out. This time around it's soley on me to make this work, and I have no doubts about doing that. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

You also have to take into consideration what kind of engine you have. You'll want the rear end to mesh with the RPM of the engine. Like Ark said, 1500 sweet spot. I mentioned lowering mine from a 3.79. I was told to wait till I change the engine. But having driven it for 1000 miles, I think...

You should know by now that what affects trucking affects expediting. Given time, there will be Pedro's Expedite Services. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

DD... I didn't buy that truck. Funny thing too. I was talking to the owner about buying it just before it broke down. The owner doesn't remember our first conversation where he said he would co-sign, so he tried to find someone to finance me. Even the engine going didn't deter me. I would get a...

Ateam... no, I was not kidding about the blown engine. Greg is right. I was driving a truck for someone else, and the engine blew around 254k miles. Surprisingly, I found the same kind of truck for sale on the EO classifieds. Everything that went wrong with our truck went wrong with the truck...

Yes, Greg... it's called usefullness. :) -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

Best place I've found is where there aren't any of my company's trucks. A good bit of advice... if you're #2, don't park next to #1. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

Thunder... I got a temp plate from the dealer to bring it home. Talked to the salesman who is dealing with the owner's finance company, who holds the title. He said it's a fight, but believes we'll be in business in one to two more days. Otherwise, he said it's normal to take a few days when...

I just bought a truck in FL, and the title is still in the hands of the former owner's financing co. I called MI Sec of State, and they said I need the title to register it. The dealer I bought it from told me the bill of sale would do. He was wrong. I feel like an idiot for not making sure...

I was driving an 04 International 7500. You'd think the smaller truck and engine (320hp) would be better in fuel milage than a big truck. Not so. We got 7-9 mpg on straight thru fill ups... no idling. Just drove my new used 01 Century home from Jacksonville, FL, and got 8.1 with idling one...

Transport Insurance is a decent company. Their rates are cheap and the staff is good. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

Thanx Jay! I'm not all too crazy about preseason. Just keeping my fingers crossed no one gets hurt. Getting Sirius put in my new truck today, so I'll be with it soon. ;) -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

Uh oh. Might wanna think about that one, Critter. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

listen to Sirius stop at a rest area or ts to use the can, whether I have to or not splash face with cold water smoke a lot take a nap if I have time walk around the truck Used to go inside truckstops and play a video game to get the mind moving, but that don't cut it anymore. If I haven't...

RE: Court's response to OOIDA sleeper berth petiti The original rules focused on driving time. That's the way it should be. Airline pilots don't get dictated on how much sleep they get; only on the number of hours they can fly. Why are we any different? Because we don't have a voice! -Vampire...
