A former fleet owner I ran for once told me THREE trucks is stable, TWO trucks is suicide. One truck can not take care of two if one goes down. Two trucks can take care of three. If you're in one now, save up and get two more at once, if you're insisting on expanding.

Anyone listen to it? I turned it on last night, just for a change, and glad I did. Totally different from XM. On XM you have a bunch of truckers call in, half of whom could have "Dead Air" as their handle. Sirius, on the other hand, has good dialog and interviews with ppl who have a wealth of...

I agree. Better to chalk it up to experience, and not take it personal. He could've pulled you over cause he's a pig. More than likely because you have a straight truck, and they're easier to inspect. Use what you've learned for the next time you're pulled in, cause you will be pulled in again...

Star, he can still give you a ticket, but he has to allow you time to catch up, IF you have yesterday's log completed.

I've gone thru the same thing. Actually, still going thru it, in court. I wouldn't totally dismiss the idea again, but if I did do it again, the contract would be solid! I've lost a buttload of money doing this without an iron-clad legal document. If you are taking over payments, demand a copy...

Lisa... I'm assuming you're teaming with your husband when this happened. Question: Did he shut the truck down for ten hours? Question 2: Were your logs complete for the day prior? If so, he was supposed to give you time to complete the log for the CURRENT day, thus you would've not been...

I heard part of an interview with him last night. He's very well educated. African immigrants usually take every advantage given to them to learn and improve themselves. Mutumbo is no exception. Tho I don't know what good it will do building a state of the art hospital if his old country is...

I regret to bring up the fact that we've been hoping for the past three years that prices would fall again. I remember the temporary relief we all felt when fuel fell back below $2, only to rebound up to $2.25. I don't know what it could possibly go to before everything goes haywire, but I have...

I'm glad that someone is using a bit of wisdom and research to determine that this field isn't right for them. Looking at the classifieds, there's a new Sterling for sale by someone who decided it's not right for them after only a month. I hate to see despair like that after such an investment...

I watch curling once in awhile. If you know the rules, it's a lot more exciting than DARTS on ESPN! UGH!!!

They were saying on the radio that NFL players used to play rugby in the offseason to stay in top form. I couldn't imagine that kind of love for punishment!

Maybe I shouldn't have posted that last one. Some JB Hunt driver might see it and take it seriously! :+ :+ :+

If you mail in your fingers, they'll just get the fingerprints that way. Saves time!:7

Well... we'll be talkin bout some Aussie Rules Football, cricket, five-pin bowling, curling, and my all-time favorite - JB Hunt vs Swift dragracing ;) Thanx for the welcome, guys n gals. I'll do my best to make it interesting. :)

I don't. Living in Detroit, we get it from Windsor. I'm not the only one to think the theme to Hockey Night in Canada should be the Canadian National Anthem! :7

Greg... to say Bush doesn't have some input as to what's going on is nuts. I won't blame him for everything, but his inactivity in this is basically telling the oil companies "go for it". If Bush could do the things you say, why doesn't he??? You'd think a couple more refineries in the US would...

Question for those who's company doesn't haul hazmat, or it's optional. When you renew your cdl, are you going to keep the hazmat endorsement? And your reason for doing what you plan/did. I renewed mine today, and dropped hazmat as my company doesn't haul it. When I was on with companies that...

YES!!! That helps IMMENSELY! Actually, you'd be shooting yourself in the foot if you didn't pay $2k for a 20k weight upgrade, or at least a 10k upgrade, IMO.

Well... the first one spelled grammAr wrong, and i and english are supposed to be capitalized. So, obviously she need some fonix scils him/herself before she criticizes anyone else. I have to say I'm lucky I haven't gotten hit with these emails. In fact, no one writes me anyways :( Except...

HOW MUCH MONEY DOES IT COST? geez :P
