RE: RE%3A Pic-a-da-day part 2 see, didn't even work...guess I didn't figure it out...LOL

RE%3A Pic-a-da-day part 2 Here is a picture I took in Michigan. Just figuring out how to post a picture, so sorry so large.

It sure seems like never sometimes (lol)....seriously...we've asked to be on hometime before. For Christmas, this is the first time we've ever gotten a load within 200 miles of our house. And we live in Houston. When we got hired we were told this was a major freight area. Plenty of people...

Thank-you for being honest. I appreciate that, and that sounds like what I've heard, just wanted to kinda confirm it from more people. Not looking too forward to it, but we'll get through it. We do deadhead to better freight areas, and usually get a load right away. I'm just saying you can't...

How would I make it slow? If it were up to me, I'd be running all the time. Just lots of people say that January-March are a slow season for freight. We've had really busy weeks, but you can only control so much of when you get a load. Believe me, if they'd give them, I'd take them. But...

I have a question for anyone who has worked at Panther during the "slow season". This will be our first one. We started back in March, and it was slow, but not too bad. What can we expect as a team as far as this slow time is concerned. I mean, from areas that are good usually anyways. Is...

I'm hoping there are some loads this week. We're sitting at home available. We got a load that brought us by the house on Saturday. Just figured we'd wait here instead of on the road.

RE: I'm tired. Regarding the GPS...we have one and I couldn't live without it. I like to know which lane to start trying to get in before I get there, and our GPS tells us how many miles left on the trip, how many miles to the next turn and has the arrow pointing at which direction your next...

I definately agree on that thinking positive and just giving things a try. It's easier to see the negative in a situation then the positive for some people, and they would really enjoy life more if they turned that around. Merry Christmas to all!!!

I've read lots of books on financial success that tell a person if they are setting a particular financial goal to keep track of EVERY and ANY expense just to keep track of their spending behavior. Some people do this just to see where they might be spending more money than they'd like, and...

RE: I'm tired. Well...it seems pretty much everyone faces this same issue as a team. We are fortunate enough to drive for an owner who provides a very nice truck, and the ride is very smooth. It's more of an issue with staying asleep when the truck has to stop and go in traffic, or the night...

I was just wondering from the husband and wife teams, what do you find the best way to handle your sleeping schedule is? We've been doing this awhile, and it just seems like we can't get a schedule going. Pretty much what happens is we'll get a load that picks up towards the evening. The first...

If you're talking about repairs...cause I just re-read that and saw you were talking about other things also...not too many make the driver pay for "repairs" or anything else related to the truck. Accidents would probably be the only thing they might get you on. They should have put that info...

Some of them have you pay the deductible, and some of them split it with you. I would just ask them. We had an owner before that said he split the deductible with you, but I think it was actually stated in his contract. They're all different. It seems like they would put it in their contract...

I've been in that kind of situation myself...where you have no scanning locations anywhere close by. If you don't own the truck, which I take it you don't since you get paid two weeks after you do a run (I work for an owner and that's how it is for me too) you probably don't have all this extra...

The quality of your pictures is really good. My brother in law has that camera and he takes some really good pics also. I was looking at that Olympus with the 2 lenses because I thought it was such a good deal. Plus, being that all the dust seems to find your electronics in the truck, I...

I think that would be a neat idea. I really like your pictures. What kind of camera do you have? I've taken some photos of things when out on the road, and always enjoy seeing other people's. I really like the different angles you take pics from. They're pretty neat.

We've been running kinda slow lately. One good thing is even when we have a slow week, I have to remind myself we're still making more money then we would with a regular job working lots of hours. I would rather be on the go...but I guess it's just slow right now. I know there are lots of...

Sorry so long to get back...we didn't end up getting a load out of Florida. We put ourselves out of service so we could do some things and when we went back into service, we got an MT move to Charleston, Sc. We sat there for two days with no change in board position, so we went up a little...

We just have two axles, and recently going into Canada we were charged for five! I would've said something, but I had already driven away thinking they raised the prices when my husband looked and said, "no wonder, they charged us for a five axle truck. In Florida, we told every booth, "that...
