Welcome, May I call you jug for short?;) Your very basic question indicates that you are in the very beginning stages of your research. Keep it up and check the various Carrier sites for specific requirements. The answer to your question depends on a few things, see below. Basic Ohio...

OPPS! In my confusion I forgot to say Goodluck! Congrats on the new opportunity, have fun and make some $$. :D

My confusion stems from the fact that both KWs that my Wife and I drove for ES were 86" Studio Sleepers. The largest OEM sleeper on the market. The narrow cab was purposefully engineered to give the driving team a smoother ride. In the T660 the seat armrests swing back to provide more room to...

Loving a Freightliner over a KW? Did you give up a studio sleeper for 70" sleeper. Color me confused. What was wrong with the KW?:confused:

I think that sums it up. :D

Studies are showing that the distracrion of concentrating on a phone conversation is the actual distraction versus the holding of a phone in your hand. I would provide the reference if I could remember where the heck I read that. Not picking on you, but since you brought it up. Seems like many...

Re: To o Funny!! Who do you think was the last President to write his own speeches? I am thinking Lincoln.:confused:

Therein lies the problem. Those who stand up and say NO to cheap freight go unnoticed as the next guy will grab it. :(

Something to consider. . .Here are just a few of the many driver distractions that lead to accidents: 1) Eating 2) Drinking 3) Smoking 4) Adjusting the radio 5) Conversation with passengers 6) Talking on the cell phone 7) Texting on the cell phone 8) Daydreaming 9) Fatigue 10) Rubber...

If I were to drive from Cleveland to Ocala I would not return to Cleveland. Just sayin.:D

I will expand a bit on Moot's excellent advice. In that KW you will want to open the drivers door and get the vehicles weight ratings from the stickers located in the door frame. They should read: GVW 33,000 This figure is derived by adding the total weight rating of the two axles which...

I have weather tested the bejezzers out of my parka and it is a champ. I have worn it in a serious hurricane wind and downpour while delivering and the water just rolled off and the wind did not penetrate. Also in blizzard conditions, same result. It velcros at the sleeves, zips to the chin, has...

We have taken more than one load where we only learned it was secure service after we stopped at a rest area.:mad:

I 40W betw Flagstaff and Kingman. Been sittin here for hours. Interstate closed till further notice. In hindsight, maybe we should have taken I-10? :confused:

Well, Been sitting here on a sheet of ice called I 40 west of OK city for 2 hours with no end in sight. There are not enough tow trucks to clear the autos and trucks scattered about. Things we are thankful for: -Full fuel tanks -Food and water -Porta potty and an internet signal!:D

GREAT JOB! Good example of how keeping good records can prove an implied contract. BTW- Evilqueen showed his/her true intent in a follow-up thread that was removed from the forum. Didn't seem to want to follow any reasonable advice. :mad:

Now that is an interesting idea. Somebody has had too much dwell time lately?:D Judging by the complexity of the load opportunity system that seems like it would be doable, but I am not so sure trucks 1, 2 & 3 would be very supportive. :rolleyes:

I am soooo feelin a group hug right now!:D

I ran across one person at HQ who did this and they stayed at hotels. A little unrealistic. Thanks for the info.:D

I love it!! This would be the best suggestion for our CEO! See: https://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/39723-follow-panther-execs-they-haul-freight.html What if our 2 top execs were to step up to bat and do what these execs are doing. To make it meaningful...
