Lease all 4 sides of the box out to Casino's and drive up and down the Vegas Strip. Could actually have Dancers on the liftgate. Do I have too much time on my hands today??? Idle minds . . . .

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT TAKE FREIGHT INTO CALIFORNIA!! Instead, Meet me at the AZ/CA border and I will gladly shuttle it in for you for a percentage. If enough people hate going into California I can see a very lucrative career for myself. We are willing to suffer the following hardships in...

It is impossible for me to answer the poll based on brand. I have been to excellent locations for all of those and I have been to very poor locations for all. The local ownership and management can make all the difference. Sorry I couldn't help.

Those guys at the last supper seem to be enjoying the buffet. Are they a disgrace as well?? Just kidding. Thought it was funny that you called all people who eat buffets dasterdly looking disgraces.

Why does being considerate to TTs Not wash in your mind????? I drove TT for several years and was very appreciative when those Roberts Express trucks would park in the Bobtail lot or in the front. Finding a place to stop and rest can be an extreme challenge for a TT at night when all large...

I don't know what it was. Backed up to the dock. . . went in to see shipping manager. There was an envelope on his desk that said "White Glove". I asked if that went with the shipment, he said that was the shipment. I put it in my underwear drawer and drove it 1200 miles. I guess...

Our Fleet Owner requests that we park even with the TTs and leave our parking lights on so we honor that request. We saw a flatbed heading for our front headlights at a good speed. I jumped in the seat and put it in reverse. He ended up going right where the front of our truck had been and never...

Sounds like you are asking where you are? Right now you are on EO forum. If you need to know where your truck is located, try calling dispatch and they can locate you. Good luck and I hope you find out. BTW, we are in Phoenix on layover. #5 in line.

That is a good suggestion, but if I go into the highway construction industry I want to be the guy that stands there and watches the other guy dig a hole. How much does that one pay?? HeHe

Okay, now I will have to read it. Thanks for the teaser.

. Don't get the wrong idea. The posters here have your best interest in mind when they suggest OTR TT type stuff. It is downright frustrating for someone who just wants to drive to have to deal with all of the other aspects of expediting, especially all of the waiting and not driving...

I must be a glutton for punishment. We are at the J in Phoenix tonight. It is 1:00 am EST and the cashier keeps yelling through her speaker system: ALL TRUCKS PARKED IN FIRE LANES MUST BE MOVED IMMEDIATELY! ALL TRUCKS IN ANY YELLOW AREA MUST BE MOVED IMMEDIATELY! ALL TRUCKS IN DISABLED...

There are a couple of Js in Houston. We were at the North location off I-45 at Richie road. The sign reads No Bobtails or Tractor Trailers. We noticed a tractor trailer in the lot the same night so it must have been an over enthusiastic shift manager. Sorry to hear you are there for so long...

Appears to be a repackaging of the FECC Independent Contractor opportunity. It is being marketed toward those people interested in owning their own business and searching franchise opportunities. A departure from marketing attempts that target drivers and the trucking community. It is not...

Thanks for the well thought out responses. I just want to comment on the example above so that other drivers are clear on how that strategy works before they try it and become disappointed. One of the many criteria the load opportunity system uses is "the ability of the truck to make the...

Okay, There is one term that some members keep using over and over and that is the term "PROFITABILITY" We are told that you must know your every expense in order to be able to determine at what exact rate you can run a load. One member even claims to know their expenses and profitabilty to...

Well said Shooter! My wife is also a refuge from the retail management work camps and she said "Don't get me started" I will relate that one time she had a great quarter, exceeding her goal and making a good bonus. 2 weeks later, letter from the company stating that they decided to increase...

Where are you getting the information regarding how much your carrier is charging the shipper??

It was a beautiful morning at the J in Houston,TX. The manager woke up ready to get started at his challenging job. Knowing that Flying J is in bankrupcy he reviewed his possible options for the day: * Umm, maybe I should hold a mini meeting this morning and get the employees fired up to...

Good question. Other than those with well planned cash reserves like A-team, perhaps they are at home watching tv with a for sale sign in the truck? I think the truth might be more along the lines of reality. That we have all run cheap freight at one time or another. As for us, we have...
