    It really isnt Texas that sucks, but some carriers inability to figure out how Texas freight moves. For the most part, inbound freight comes in to go across the border in the first half of the week, and also freight coming out of Mexico to the states.By the time it clears customs, it is the...

    I couldnt agree with your post any less.You are right. But, For the last 8 years, I have for the most part, lived out of my straight truck.Took every load,ran non-stop for over 5,000 miles, etc.So now, now that things are finally turning around for me, If I have the chance to go home, I am...

    Roadcheck 2010

    I dont mean to sound holier than thou, or step on a few toes,but I think csa 2010 and this nationwide road check is a reason to get our vehicles in shape, they should of already been in shape for this on a daily basis, instead of waiting for this special event to take place.

    How to combat loneliness on the road?

    I would have to say that this website, Expediters Online, is a blessing in meeting new people and passing time away to help with the boredom and loneliness out here. It's like a family on here, for the most part, and have met alot of great people on here as well. The computer helps pass time...
