After the this weeks celebrity deaths, gives me the feeling it should be sooner

Camping out 75 miles from Denver. I thought Michigan roads were bad. I-70 West from Colorado Line to here are just horrible. Almost as bad as the Truck stops. Won't have much time for sight seeing in Denver, Got a surprise load out of Denver after I deliver going down to New Mexico. That should...

Normally I would turn down a load like this, but decided to go sight seeing to Denver Colorado, delivers Monday so no rush. It's been a really long time since I've been to Denver, and 1st time in the straight truck. With 90F temps, Hopefully, no snow issues lol.

Dateline: Indiana....Waiting for a load that makes sense. South West of Indy in a town I've never heard of and not sure how to pronounce :) Lost my position because I turned down an offer dead heading 3 hrs away, which destroyed my profit margin. If I was still in a Sprinter that rate would...

I had a really strong bad smell that i couldn't figure out. Turned out to be truck fuel additive which got on my gloves that were kept in my side box. The smell just drifted right in. I do like the vent air fresheners, found some mult-packs on Amazon that didn't cost too much. I also like the...

Ahhh, my favorite time of the year, the July shut downs :rolleyes: Although, it's not the same as in the past, it's still a thing, and I'm definitely feeling it. Haven't been able to secure a load all week. Been getting screwed by some low ball offers that I refused, that should never of been...

Your doing nothing wrong. This is the reality of this business, but people keep wanting to jump on board. Hope things pick up for you. I would go with the advice of signing on to a carrier.

Finished the June book and took my 1st monthly loss of the year due to slow freight and repairs. Ended June with a -$1000 loss :( And I was worried about July being the typically bad month :rolleyes: But soon I will be able to make it up fast with Trumps no tax on overtime. Oh wait, I need a...

That's fantastic! Profitable? What's that? lol. Good for you! :)

Wow! That's pretty wild congrats.

Da Heat Wave. I was going to go hide out at home during this heat wave, but this month turned crappy fast, money wise, and July should be worse. So I decided to tough it out (at least for now). My route takes me right by my 2nd opinion shop I was planning on having some work done at. So getting...

haha, I'm not really sure. Other then broke 1 of their 1000 community standard rules. They are not very informative. My appeal, took all of 1 min. so obviously the court of AI reviewed it. I also had one of my accounts hacked last year. FB never did solve that, and I never was able to regain...

PC rules should be better defined and have a standard like all the other HOS rules. They shouldn't change from carrier to carrier, person to person as to what you can or can't do. This just causes unnecessary confusion and various interpretations. From an enforcement stand point, having gray...

Update: -Currently in Facebook jail. -Not handling the heat very well. -Will be getting the truck looked at by 2nd source to see what actually needs to be done. -Tired of living on the road. … Calgon take me away

Fun times...just got out of the shop after dropping $1300 for repairs. $2-$3K more for someone else to do. Hopefully for less. Took the truck in for 1 thing and service center came back with a grocery list of things to fix totalling $16,000. After I regained consciousness, I pick 2 things to be...

Enough with the rain already. Had a nice brake for the Holiday, then right back to more rain. I need a rain jacket, I have one, but of course it's at home. But really it's longer then I need. But at this point, I'll take anything. The only coat I have with me that is water repellent is my winter...

Thank You :)

Like in Nebraska? Be prepared to deadhead back to civilization. But a nice ride if it’s worth it.

Good week being a dedicated account driver… OK, that’s what it felt like as my 1st 3 loads were for the same customer. Way to go Load One Have my 4th load of the week picking up Saturday breaking the streak with a different, but repeat customer.

Yup, has always been my 1 big gripe. depending if your local, regional, or long haul. if the criteria fits and you decline it for whatever reason, you are dropped to the bottom to start again...waiting for a load. Sometimes it not a big deal if your the closest unit around, but other times it...
