I just read an article about a GPS incident.Lady was following GPS directions in a snow storm,the road veered to the right,but GPS said go straight,so as she was now on a snowmobile path,wasn't long 'til she was stuck.Guess they were hours getting her to safety.What I find with the GPS,my...

verbal contract is binding,so my lawyer tells me.Anything you pay for a person to come on your fleet makes him an employee,contract or not,but,those expenses can be reimburst by the co driver,even if not paid.As far as taking his last two weeks pay,its a moral issue more than a business...

Ok,I'm one that thinks gps is just a toy,but let me say this.My co driver has a Garmin sitting in my trucks front window,and as posted before,my sprint phone also has a gps.In most cases my sprint gps is more accurate being closer to the truck routing.If you get in the habit of relying on the...

Phil,in a tractor,as most know,our competition is much less,as far less trucks.The only thing I've run into,is i was solo part of Jan and part of Feb,in Jan only was away from home 1 week,and Feb the same.The offers were slow,so was easier to sit home than on the road. The 2 weeks I was out in...
