I was looking through the list of vendors for MATS and came across this new non-profit group. Welcome to Dreamin My Way Home Pet Transport They utilize volunteer truck drivers and Rv'ers to transport pets from one part of the country to another. Great tool for rescue organizations and...

A story of thanks, It was three years ago when my wife and I arrived at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. I was growing weaker every day with an incurable terminal disease and death seemed certain within months. We had come to the Mayo to undergo an extremely risky procedure...

Hmm? Be careful to make sure you have recent information. We were in Houston last month when I flagged down a Panther ST to ask them about their truck. They were on there way out of the parking lot to deadhead to Memphis. (yea, Memphis?). They said Panther no longer has the Houston business that...

Hi Dave, Hope you don't mind me butting in on your Panther thread. The opposite is true with many top teams in FECC. The lower acceptance rates equate to a better per mile and overall revenue. Why is this different with Panther? I am not opposed to a future at Panther, but things like this can...

I am not sure who you are talking to here because I would be the last one to ask the Government for more laws; however, I will answer you. I loath the laws that restrict any of our personal freedoms! There should be NO laws restricting smoking. There should be NO laws restricting truck...

It is comforting to know that you "worry" about offending someone. That is very considerate. Thank you. What would you like me to argue about?

Dr. Turtle, You could not be more wrong with your psychological evaluation and your insightful conclusion that I have a "loathing" of smokers. If you had read the entire thread when doing your research for the evaluation, you might have seen that my Mother was a smoker. I will add that my...

Yet another genius that did not read the post. Next time I will try to make my posts shorter for those that don't have the patience to read. Here is a quote from my own post: "I am well aware of the fact that it is a smokers "right" to be able to smoke where it is legal to do so. That is...

I had a feeling it would come to this. I simply ask why "some" smokers don't seem to be considerate towards their fellow humans. Now, people who didn't even read the post or who cannot interpret the written word come out of the woodwork and accuse me of wanting to pass laws. This was about...

Excellent point Greg! I believe if the Flying J allowed smoking in all of it's restaurants and banned the consumption of their food, we would all be better off.

Dave, Haven't you been out of your truck long enough to hear the news? Here, I'll bring you up to speed. Second hand smoke, age of exposure and lung cancer risk. Asomaning K, Miller DP, Liu G, Wain JC, Lynch TJ, Su L, Christiani DC. Department of Environmental Heath (Environmental and...

Interesting reactions. No real answers, just personal attacks and defensiveness. BEARTRUCKER was most helpful and I will have to draw a conclusion from his post. Smoking is a serious addiction. The need to feed that addiction becomes priority regardless of the consequences. In the mind of...

Help me! I must be IT disabled. How do I access these pictures?? I don't see a link or image? Can you describe the truck in detail and I will just form an image in my mind? haha Any ideas on what I am not doing right here because it seems that everyone else can see them.

Definition of "consideration" mindfulness of others: thoughtful concern for or sensitivity toward the feelings of others. Couldn't help but wonder as we left the truck stop today: Why is it that many smokers don't have any consideration for the people around them??? The stench of smoke...

Va. Beach,VA. Walmart next to Lynnhaven Mall. Talked to the Manager. He said there wasn't a chance in hello that they were going to fill their parking lot so there is no problem staying here. We refuse to patronize the nasty Charlie's Truck Stop. There are plenty of restaurants, stores...

Excellent! Late model, well maintained equipment with all the bells and whistles to qualify for any type of WG Tval LG DOD load. No micromanaging, we decide what to accept and where to go. Paid weekly at exactly the same time and to the penny. Paid hotel if truck maintainance is...

Talk about a "windfall" profit. This idea blows me away. I would suggest trying a large movie theatre parking lot, some popcorn may blow your way and provide a snack while you are working.

We just passed that J and did the usual jokes about the place named Peculiar. Wish we had seen this earlier and stopped. We deliver tomorrow in Britt, IA. If this could be an ongoing thread it would be fun to meet other EO members.

Sorry, D unit, 3200 lbs, 8 pcs FSC is included in total pay. Those who said they would take it, fastman_1 cannedmeat27 iceroadtrucker termite289 Are you saying yes because experience has shown that you can make the run safely or are you just seeing $$ and hoping for the best...

We were sitting down south on Friday afternoon adding up dwell time going into the weekend. This opportunity came across: Pick up - 15 miles away. Deliver - Anchorage,AK Total miles: 4333 Total Pay: $9,000.00 Would you take it? Would you decline? Why? Our owner preferred not...
