Broom... I agree with you to a point about being right in the city. But when I was running with most of the companies, I loved sitting between two major freight zones (Indi/Chicago, Nashville/Memphis, Cinci/Dayton) so I was on both boards. Personally, I don't see any reason to sit in Cuba. A...

Looking thru the archives, I stumbled upon one of the funniest posts I've read. I'd like to read what all of you thought was hilarious. :7 Mr. Trucker God Charter Member 27. "RE: You Wannabes Out There " Mar-13-00, 10:20 PM (EDT) In response to message #26 when I started TRUCK IN oh 140...

I guess he made it out ok. I told him to give me a call as inquiring minds want to know ;)

The truck we just got out of was a '98 Werner Century stretched D truck. Overall, the truck was decent for being 8 years old. I've seen a lot of former Werner trucks out there. Apparently they're a good buy.

RE: The president’s speech about high fuel price Being one who voted R the last 3 elections, I'll have to agree with you. Guess the oil empires' contribution to Dubya's coffers have paid off BIG TIME! Now, they have a collusion and ain't nuthin the boy will do to stop it.

Keep a seperate file for each driver. Copies of everything owed goes into their folders. I wouldn't go the W-2 route unless you're planning on them being employees. A 1099 is easy to figure out, and the correct form for independant contractors anyways.

RE: I need back up lessons on a semi?I will pay. G Find an empty dock and practice, practice, practice. I know 90 degree is a pain, and you may need help to figure out the basics. In that, I agree with Vipra in finding a school instructor to help you.

Great looking ride!!! Hope it's a good one for you! I take it you're happy running solo for Panther?

Dawgone... I thank you for proving me wrong. I could see you having a sticker AND be DOT qualified. Hope you're doing well now. I'm just trying to clarify the need for handicapped spaces in truck stops vs. car parking lots. I doubt there are many truckers who need them, yet I usually see 4...

Hidden message to me is, the immigrants aren't happy like they were when they first came here. Now they're talking about unions? For illegals? geez

I'm going over the figures FX put out for solos. 117505 miles 155 loads taken That averages out to 758.1 miles per run, both loaded and empty. Something doesn't seem right. Either the loads are way too long for solos to do legally, which I doubt. There is a ton of dh involved with each and every...

>How many look for their own loads? I did run independent for awhile. There may be a time where I decide to do it again. >How often do you look? I still look every time I'm sitting somewhere I have little hope of getting out soon... ie, Texas. >How much time should i give dispatch to find a...

Have no probs with drivers having a handicap. My problem is with there being handicap parking spots in a truckstop. With the shortage of places to park, why have areas we can't use when tired? I'm trying to think of actual handicaps a trucker could have, that would deem it necessary to have a...

I haven't been to Canada in a truck for nearly a year. I miss it to a point. Toronto is a pain, but there's a smokehouse on 401 near Woodstock that just makes me melt. I miss the truckstops, the ppl, and just the country in general. Kinda feel lucky I married a Canuckian and can get back there...

I thought the Canadian forum was working well for border crossing info.

Well... you answered my question then, Lawrence. Thanx :) Haha Greg... too slow :7

MA... gotta say this. When I read your posts, I'm hearing Hank Hill say the words. :7

I'm not a van driver, nor do I own vans. I have seen owners post for drivers on here from anywhere between 40%-no fuel to 70% with. 40/60 and 60/40 is the going rate for d-units, I know. But wouldn't you think it's a little low for vans? Being that vans probably avg around $1000/week, that's...

Pantherii... try 5-pin bowling. Wife says there's a lot of boating stuff around then. Windsor Raceway is a nice track with slots.

Rain-X would be the stuff you're lookin fer.
