From time to time on this forum, the signature lines of the drivers are great, but some deserve a comeback. One of my current favorites is gambler´s sig. I´ve seen enough cowboy movies in my time, to know when it´s time to draw pawdner! So I´m ready. See if you can top this expediters! You...

I thought the object of the "big study" was to come up with a plan to avoid driver fatigue. Being able to drive another hour, kinda defeats the purpose, as companies will extend the range accordingly, for single drivers. Therefore, unless my math is wrong, if driver fatigue is a factor driving...

This was posted about a year and a half ago on the Newbies Paradise forum, to answer the constant question that comes up about expediting. That is, can I make a living etc.etc?, from novices and wannabes. The only thing I can see that has changed from the time I originally posted this is, fuel...

When one thinks that some retired guy should step aside, so that there would be more loads for younger drivers is really flawed thinking. That retired guy or gal is just excercising his right of free enterprise, the same as any other driver. He or she has the right to work in this industry or...

Thanks Tony! I was wondering if that link was still around, and how to get to it. I urge all who post on this thread to go to that link first, and see the familiar names, and some that dissapeared, and read thier stories in Part 1. I had forgotten about that great picture of Wild Bill. It´s...

A couple of years ago, I posted this same question, and it turned out to be pretty interesting and informative. I now see alot of new names on the forum since then, so it´s time to ask the question again. The question is, what did you do before you got into trucking, and why did you choose...

I´ll chime in on this. I think trucking is fun. I like the work and the lifestyle. I like to drive. I like trucks. It´s not fun 24/7 all the time, but what job is? I think it´s working, and being able to vacation without having to pay to get there. That is to say, when I´m in some place...

Right on Ram-pa! With a few minor points put into the mix, you have zeroed in on something that alot of people don´t understand or are unwilling to accept. The trucking companies like any other business, including the o&o, have to look out for number one, to survive and/ or grow. In many cases...

Lawrence...sent you an email, with my email address. Did you get it?....On vacation at present. louixo

I asked this question awhile back, and didn´t get an answer, though I did gleen some info from other posters, I´m still not quite clear on the subject. I´m thinking of making the switch from D unit to class 8 when I come off winter vacation. I sold my D unit before leaving on vacation, so will...

Reading this makes me think California is moving to the east coast. We all want safer roads, and safer workplaces, but old Gov. Shwieker, needs to address the time vs. revenue issue for commercial vehicles. The number of accidents and injuries certainly is not acceptable in Pa., but the governor...

So Vanish is on a rant, so what?...I didn´t see where he mentioned anyone by name, so there was no personal attack. Last time I looked...this was free speech. I´ve seen veiled comments from many posters on this forum. Some of you are way to excitable! Who cares!....Mr. Vanish seems to get his...

One beautiful December evening Huan Cho and his girlfriend Jung Lee were sitting by the side of the ocean. It was a romantic full moon, when Huan Cho said "Hey baby, let's do some Weeweechu." "Oh no, not now, lets look at the moon" said Jung Lee. "Oh, c'mon baby, let's you and I do...

Santa Elf Driver. Last year I asked for a KW T300, with all the goodies. You left me a lousy KW model stocking stuffer. This year get me a real one! What´s with you anyway? I left you milk and cookies, and some apples for your reindeer, and you left me a note saying that the milk gave you the...

Crazy....got it, thanks for the info...

phone number. I use another agency in Oklahoma, but lately have had to call them constantly to resolve problems. Does anyone know of any other agency in Oklahoma that gives you good service on plates? Is Oklahoma still the best place to base plate, with all the new laws changing in other states?

Marty, do a search on this site for Landstar. Not too long ago there was a detailed exchange on them. What i remember about it, was that Landstar doesn´t have a central dispatch, and you have to call brokers to find loads. Other than that, they seem like all other companies, in that, the...
