On expeditenow.com (EO's sister site), I ran across an article called Injuries: How to Avoid Them. It tells you the best ways to alleviate your joint pains. Hope it helps.

My father-in-law told me that if someone asks for money for food, tell them you'll buy them something to eat. The drunks and druggies always take off after that.

That's a poor attitude to take, Truckerbuddy. You seem to want everything to be so easy. What's life without a few risks? All they're telling us is that you hafta be right with the paperwork coming here, or you can forget your Vegas vacation. Don't need to go to Vegas anyways... not like you...

I wondered about moving the seat frame back. Thanx for everyone's advice. Next truck I get is going to be either automatic or something with that extra 6" of leg room.

RE: Sinking Fast-Need Advice Desperately! Glen Ric Stranded, do you know Gypsy? Sounds like you're dumping on the company when there's no way for you to know the facts. When someone says they aren't getting freight, it tells me one of three things: 1 - There is NO freight! This may be due to...

RE: Sinking Fast-Need Advice Desperately! Glen Ric There is only so much that can be done to keep someone from drowning. I'm not saying it's gypsy's fault or that of x-1, but it could be one of any number of things. It could be the company has too much of a certain equipment on, or that that...

Just got the truck back, and it's running like new. My bill came out $400 less than their last quote, which took the sting off somewhat. And five days isn't bad at all for a total transmission overhaul. Their mechanics took time to explain manually adjusting the "automatic" slack-adjusters, and...

I don't see where RobA screwed up. He kept it simple and answered most of Stranded's questions. Those he didn't answer weren't relevant to crossing the border, such as, about needing a permit to cross into Canada. He went step by step as to how cross the border. Best thing I can say is, get a...

Is it me, or are there other tall drivers who believe trucks aren't made for them? I'm 6'4", have an FL106, and a new clutch that everyone says feels great... except me. To me, the clutch feels like lead because my leg can't extend. And, of course, the seat is made for someone 5'9" and will not...

RE: Sinking Fast-Need Advice Desperately! Glen Ric Mhoy, this definitely isn't the place for what you wrote. I wrote an inside joke which you decided to take public. No need for that.

RE: Sinking Fast-Need Advice Desperately! Glen Ric Oldtimer... he's running a sprinter, so the number of miles doesn't matter there. On a bigger note, no one here wants to hear that ghost-rider crap! Cowboys don't belong in expediting, or better yet, on the road. Tell me who wins when that...

Personally, I don't see it as good practice to take loads you wouldn't otherwise just to stay in a contest. Not saying you are, Ateam... could be that you take those runs in any case. But you hafta know there are those who try hard to win those contests by taking underpaying, high dh loads...

Grrr... just don't pick my mountain LOL

"This training does not physically teach individuals how to drive a truck but rather how to drive their business as a professional..." BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA That's funny!!! CARELTON? OH CARELTON, WHERE ARE YOU??? :7 :7 :7 "Essentially this class will teach how to increase load opportunities by...

RE: Sinking Fast-Need Advice Desperately! Glen Ric Yeah Mhoy... they blew their trans... I mean their chance :P

yeah... go to NC, not TN... NC is good! :7 :7 :7 :7 :7

To answer Doc's question, expediency would be one. The faster this truck gets moving, the faster we make money. (I don't particularly buy that ploy, though I've heard it) Maybe the o/o is not negotiable on the terms of his contract. (like Doc said... take it or leave it) He doesn't want to make...

RE: Sinking Fast-Need Advice Desperately! Glen Ric I don't see any nay-sayers on this thread. Just the guy at the top who's worried about making money. Everyone else said it can be made... just in different ways.

Geez... give everyone the idea to move to Tennessee and nothing but expediters will have log cabins in the mountains :P :7 :7 :7 :7

RE: Sinking Fast-Need Advice Desperately! Glen Ric For one thing, he is running a sprinter, not a truck like the last two posters. I've known for awhile that they were sprinter-heavy. Even with trucks I've heard things are lean. BTW, I am the o/o mhoy40 ran for with Express-1. I can say this to...
