Hey Laurence Great pictures of the show, but seems mostly of the people! Did ya get any good ones of the trucks, especially the trophy winners? Also, do you know when a more detailed view of that new truck will be availible? Thanks Dreamer

WOW! I'm sorry to hear that Wild Bill. It's amazing how some people can turn just like that. I went thru a similar thing with the last guy I drove for. Just out of the blue, he calls me, says because 2 others of his drivers screwed him over, he's getting rid of everyone, and selling his...

Wannabe: Yes I WAS trying to encourage you..LOL... but I didn't mean for you to jump into a truck payment, if you're not financially ready, just was saying that if you really wanted to drive, you didn't have to wait until you got your OWN truck! Best of luck with whichever you choose!

If you really want to drive, why don't you? Are you determined to only drive if you can have your own truck? Why not find a reputable owner, and start driving? What better way to get used to the job, and at the same time, build up the cash needed to get your own truck? I guess I'm asking a...

Guess I must have been lucky too.. Memphis was always one of my favorite places to deliver to.... I also never sat more than a day there... but... like another post said, maybe that's because FedExCC has the Memphis freight more than other companies. Memphis and Jackson both were alway good to...

**sigh** I was gonna let this one slide, but I just couldn't.. sorry guys! Brandy... Sounds like you should have ironed out all the details BEFORE you signed on as to what home time was. That's why you get it in writing.... you should have known 6 weeks ago what his policy was, and what he...

Panther does still have that requirement, I have talked to several drivers who use Cue. Here's a link: http://www.atlascomm.net/nationwide.asp I investigated them once before... they claim 95% coverage of USA. Dreamer

RE: WiFi or Sprint Freightchaser, or anyone else who uses Sprint... I have the mobile internet on my Sprint PCS phone, (yes I have the Mobile EO bookmarked.. LOL) .. was wondering how the download speed is when using the Sprint card. I know on the mobile browser, every site takes a while to...

Hey Weave.. was just doing my "wish list shoppin", as I'm planning to buy another vehicle, either truck or van after the first of the year, and this one was listed in the Hotshot newsletter. It's at Freightliner of Knoxville, and is the only one I've seen that looks like yours.. being a 2001...

Rich... actually, I don't know how it is in other states, but many companies here in Ohio have random drug testing. As a condition of employment, you sign an agreement to accepting random drug testing as required. Even when I worked at a local pizza place for a while, years ago, they had it in...

I do have to agree on one point with Gambler, and wonder why you came to a Professional Driver website to find the info, when you worked in a hospital. That being said, there are several things that can give a false reading, and it would do all drivers good to be aware of this, so they are...

When I got my CDL permit packet, many moons ago, I received a list of Testing facilities from the DMV, as well as places where I could rent a truck. There was then a couple local companies who trained their own dump truck drivers, etc, and they would allow you to rent their truck, and use their...

LOLOL.. If I had only known before.. would have saved a lot of trouble!! Dreamer :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7

Thanks Tony, I was pretty sure it was a good deal, just not familiar enough with Chevy Vans. I've always had Fords and Dodges, but chanced across this one, and took a closer look because of the condition. Now to see what the bank says..lol. Dreamer

Hey Weave, (or anyone else with knowledge!) I'm looking at a van from a local private party and since I am not familiar with Chevy vans, I need your opinion. It's a 1999 Chevrolet 3500(1 ton) Extended 6.5 liter diesel Automatic with Cruise, tilt and air 42,100 miles (original purchaser) Oil...

Yeah, mine went up here in Ohio last time too.. quite a shock when they told me the total. Next time, we get to do the thumbprint and background check to renew Hazmat.. :)

I, for one, will be looking forward to your updates Weave. Those are nice looking trucks, better lines than the new Freightliner M2, in my opinion, and I'll be interested in seeing how he likes it, and how it performs in comparison to the older ones which I have driven, and wasn't impressed...
