Are there really slow months,or are you just in the wrong place.If you really work at it,you can stay busy all year long.Yes i'm in an E unit,and there isn't as much competition,which keeps me busy,but some of my layover options if i were to stay there would slow my run count down.Sometimes I...

I'll try to explain this new system.Load opportunity is being used instead of load offer,so you will know its the new system.All loads are selected by the DVA system,as they were in the old system,and still are,the only difference,more trucks are offered dispatched at the same time.I don't know...

Gary, that is a good post,but 1 other thing you didnt mention,after coming back into the states from canada,you could go thru a total search of your truck by customs,that can upset your whole day,when you have to put your truck back together.Also,as far as the searches in nuclear plants,if you...

The longest I've waited has been three minuets,i did have a load that cancled three times,and when it finally was a go,after accepting it the forth time,a closer truck showed up and got it.Actually was happy I didnt get the run,turned out the city it was going wasnt where I thought it was,and I...

and this is why i stay illegal for canada,have had the same issue,way back in the 80's

contract labor is a norm in in the trucking industry,what you have to be careful of ,is if that driver fails to pay his or her taxes,if you cant prove they are not a company driver,you could be iiable for their taxes.Having a co-driver as contract labor is really shaky ground,cause if you tell...

$8.00 cost for tractor trailer to I80

In the past ive had a small fleet of trucks,and myself ive always had a co-driver,but ive found,its not the money,causing the drivers moving on.Most truck drivers hate sitting around.And as we all know in the expedite business,we do sit around,some more than others.If your on with a compny that...

the dui's are going to be against you with any company that goes in and out of canada.That pretty much lets you out of the expedite business.if you look around ,it might not be the best pay,but im sure there is a company somewhere that might hire you

way back in the early 80's i use to run with my girl friend.When we were sleeping and that familiar knock came at the door,she would answer,and would always have something to say,such as hes already busy,the best one was can i help you. the best way,just hang a bra in the window.

i liike new system,but it is a safety hazard.unless your co driver is awake,or you have a place to stop your truck,putting the numbers in either your cell or c-link is going to cause someone to wreck.The thing with the calculator is great idea,but now you need 3 hands if you are driving,try this...

terry- renee,reading this post just gave me an empty feeling.Renee,enjoy your retirement,im glad terry has a job,would hate to see him collecting from unemployment compensation,lol. Terry hope to see you on one of my visits to the office,going to miss your posts

kenny,truck driving school right up the street from panther,will requalify for 100 bucks per driver,ive taken couple drivers there for fed ex,if ok with them should be ok with panther,hamerick truck driving school,they are on rt 18 outside of medina

i carry two cell phones.i agree that by the time you find a safe place to handle the dispatch offer,your load might time out.what ive done is call dispatch on second phone and told them the problem,then was put in contact with dispatcher,was told about load the old fashon way, as stated...

[ One more important note: This system is currently in test mode and at this time refusals do not count against your acceptance %. When this system is integrated with the current dispatch system that will change. The exact parameters of how refusals will be handled is currently up in the air...

my cost of fuel is not the problem,the industry has slowed down,as the economy has.if I take the surcharge out of my money per mile,my cpm average right now is higher than its ever been,but my acceptance level is down.With so many other companies in the expedite business,the actual amount of...

ok here it is,your making 800 bucks a week after taxes,the grass aint greener,especially if your home that much.If your looking for a challenge,then change your profession,but if you want to be a truck driver,better stay where you are.now if that 880 week is before taxes,then you have lots of...

I have said this many times,i take the miles the load goes,figure out what it will cost to run that load and go to my next layover,meaning fuel and tolls,divide this by the 45%,and if it comes out to what the load is paying ,then i'll do the run,no matter where its going.Even home. if you take...

Dont know what size unit you are talking about,but a tractor trailer,signed up for 48 states will go around 1600 per year.this price is based on total miles.the 1st time you sign up,each state has a minimu figure for miles you will run in their state,use the mimnum miles,then the next year you...
